He learned the hard way! Fear the PACT! & Don't forget to watch in HD! Subscribe if you like what you see as well! Edited by MAN76UTD (03/13/12 01:25 PM)

Magnum Lifer Registered: 01/27/03 Posts: 25522 Loc: Naples, Florida	Excellent video, AAR, Tutorial... well done and much appreciated. I was on the fence about this one but your video convinced me... first impressions, the first mission, "Iron Curtain" was great... great presentation and gameplay, first test passed... armor battles at a proper range... now to get to a mission with attack helicopters and see if they use nap of the earth flying and/or distance engagements... problems with MOST RTS games... tank and air battles are way to close. Thx again. _________________________ Magnum "Every time I hear/read "Free to Play" I know were going to get screwed in the end with micro-transactions. NO THANKS game developers!"

I for myself would have made a few things different at your game, but its so great to see what tactics others use and succeed/or loose

Wedge Member Registered: 02/13/06 Posts: 1210	Another impulse buy due to your excellent AAR. I just got past the 1st mission...stupid me it took me a good 10min. to figure out that you cannot control the "green" highlighted infantry units. I kept thinking "why cant I get these dudes to move!?!" Then finally I found the tanks. lol.

Thx again. If you watch your helicopters they will at times lower their altitude and get behind trees and hills! With that being said there is still some work to be done with the AI flight path-finding, your choppers will at times stop and do pirouettes for no reason. So far Eugene has been really good with patches as well, since the game came out 2 weeks ago they have already released patches adressing several issues like stat balances etc.

Wedge Member Registered: 02/13/06 Posts: 1210	Is there anyway to assign the "E" and "Q" keys to rotate the camera instead of pressing/holding the middle mouse button? I'm finding that this is very awkward for me to control the camera this way.
