    Demo.

    I gave a quick shot of it last night and while the graphics it chose based on my system specs were disappointing, the interface was easy enough, and it seems similar to Company Of Heroes so far!

    However now when I go to play it again (it didn't even put a shortcut on my desktop, what is this, Windows 3.1 days? :p ), I get a Securom error, fhgfdgfs!! :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    the multiplayer is pretty original. It's close to playing a battlefield game then a typical RTS.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 455 ✭✭eggplantman


    What are the missions like?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,748 ✭✭✭Cunny-Funt


    on the demo? Meh I would say but I'm an MP guy.

    Having said that they seem to have put a lot of effort into it now. With a storyline and characters etc etc.

    So it's at least playable (unlike supcom which is really just MP) But from what I've seen the Single player aspect good be pretty good in the full game.

    I'm just more into the auld muliplayer.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    I hope the single player campaign is good,dont play games online,my laptop wont let me for some reason :(,so im hoping the AI is good and pathing etc, MAN i am Really really really looking forward to this game,less then 3wks now i think...:) roll on september 21st :D

    The demo seems rather unstable on my PC. Crashed twice after about 20 minutes each time. The second time it actually caused my PC to restart. Strange seeing as I was playing the ETQW demo last week for a few hours and everything was fine? Anyway it looks nice and plays well too.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    That is strange indeed.
    Ive had no crashes whatsoever since i got the demo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,967 ✭✭✭Pyr0


    Playing through the single player and I'm still impressed, nothing has changed since the demo (obviously). Well worth the buy !

    anyone get there hands on this yet?im gonna get it after work today hopefully
    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,081 ✭✭✭BKtje


    The game looks very impressive and the story is great but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to the gameplay itself imo.

    I mean, get reinforcements, artillery strike an area, capture point, wait for defences to build and move on. Rinse and repeat and that's basically the gamne. If it wasn't for the storyline aspect to it i'd probably have stopped playing it already (story is superb). That said nothing is quite as satisfying as carpet bombing and area filled with enemy troops.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Is there a skirmish mode?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    anyone get there hands on this yet?im gonna get it after work today hopefully

    Yes i got it this morning ,playing ever since :)
    It is just orgasmic fun.
    I always liked the idea of rts titles but was never any good and always got frustrated with resource gathering and base building.
    WIC is just online RTS teamplay at its best.
    It looks absolutely majestic on my average system,AMD dual core 4600,2 gig ram,7800GTX.
    Im running it at 1650X1050 on 22" Samsung monitor at native res,high gfx settings and it plays excellent.
    Dropping to medium settings gives about +5 fps and still looks gorgeous.
    Havent touched single player yet,just been online all morning having a great time.
    Is there a skirmish mode?

    Yes and its pretty good too,and you can customize AI etc,they seem to work pretty well also,they nuked me and carpet bombed me.

    To me its all about online play as a team.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    sounds good,roll on 4:30 :)

    could you just take a look at the pervious page and tell me will this work on my
    laptop with the specs i have?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭Skittle

    :O there taking the mickey now with that price like,Thats where I Booked it from though :O ;'(


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    got this today (at long last)now how the hell do you play a skirmish game theres no option for it and the poster above me said there was a skirmish mode :s:confused:


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 14,723 Mod ✭✭✭✭Dcully


    Oh my god you are so right.
    The demo has skirmish option which i played a few times,i just assumed the full game had skirmish.
    I cannot believe they left it out of full game :(


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    ok so you were talking about the skirmish mode in the demo then im guessing?and not the full release :s........I dunno what to make of this game,its good but its like a pervious poster said earlier....its basically call in a artillery strike,call in reinforcements,and take a point...thats it!thats all you basicaly do,no flanking of enemy no trying to get in behind the enemy nothing...im kinda disapointed with it being honest,i've been waiting for this game since I first saw it on that game channel on sky digital(can't remember the name of it for the life of me :o:p )been waiting for it all summer and this is it?is this some sorta joke?no skirmish mode?no tactical play?......now dont get me wrong it is a good game great story line to it,but i was kinda hoping there be more tactics or sumthing to it ya know?ah well....might give it a bash online later :) hopefully it will work (seeing as i can't seem to play any games online with my laptop for some reason :s) i'll probbly never play it again after I clear the single player campign,unless i get the multiplayer working...........well thats my 2cents on the game :)


    what are yers? feel free to share :)
