Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2008 6:18 pm Post subject: Got it! (almost)
Facing another saturday night at home with the loving companionship of my laptop.
I just got my hands on a beta version of W.A.R. ( gotta love the abbreviation).
Theres still a lot of glitches and faults in it.
Theres a bunch of new maps and BGs, the total is now 64. Edit: 54 BGs, 64 maps.The strategic map is very large now
So far it works ok with my Vista OS.
Edit: No naval support, but instead there's artillary attack, morter barrage, air assult and a parachute thingy, which should be air supply, but i cant get it to work. Edit: Each battlegroup has about 140 units for the allied/americans, and 80 units for the axis/germans, of which 15 can be selected, just like CCV. But each unit is also worth a certain number of points, somewhat similar to COI.

I do agree that it is borderline at best....
If the game is worth playing, then I will purchase it when/if released. You have my word.
I thought that it would be of interest to the community that someone actually had some info on the progress of this game.
well ai is always a problem with CC, but if it has kept my interest for 6 months, it cant be to bad, cause its at least that long since i played ANY VERSION OF CC H2H, sad, but true...mostly im to busy testing stuff,not all s3t,some for pj,dima initially,but lately all u know who...
once its released,ill try to give it an objective opinion,not just 'yeah its good' but how,over the last few months, i have noticed how the AI has changed,what it does,how it moves etc...remember a lot of ai's stupid movements are pathing issues...put ai in big open map,and its game on.
Well , sofar I'm having problems beating the ai when it is defending, however I am not impressed when it is attacking me. It always goes after VL, and if the first is to well defended the ai tries the next one and so on.
I've found a couple of maps that are exact copies from ccv.
I wonder if it's possible to make a good attacking CC AI at all.
Can it grasp the concept of fire and manoeuvre? Or shooting a building with a tank cannon "just in case"? Or positioning snipers/machine guns in right places?
All I see in CC series games is units crawling/running towards objectives like zombies or moving in circles.

Isn't that exactly what people have wanted? An AI opponent that is continually going after VLs rather than just hanging out.

Good to hear...of course, whatever asshole tester leaked this, just probably guaranteed at least one thing for the rest of us....that at the very best, the release will likely end up being delayed, because in the absence of the culprit stepping up and confessing...(and thereby risking legal action for NDA violation), all the testers will likely be dumped, and a whole new set of testers would have to be recruited.

Exactly right and you could possibly even say goodbye to the extant generation of CC members involved in the test team, why would you hang around after what this asshole has bought down on them? I know I wouldn't.
I hope the SOB owns up just so I could get my pound of flesh outa them. I would pay my way to wherever just to get that.

To be honest I did'nt think of that.
I have no idea where/who the version comes from. But I doubt they will change their testing team because of it. The company is every bit as eager to get the game released, as you or I am.
I have heard of other games and movies where testers/vievers/editors each got an individual version, with a tiny differnce in each, so if the product were to appear on the web, the leaker could be caught.
well mr tank, thanks for nothing, you've F*^ked me up.
Well, if you want a scapegoat I'm an easy target.
I haven't shared my version with anybody, but still there are others who have the beta version, and they probably had it weeks before I did.
Tack, I'm as pissed as you are, but the real blame is on the S3T team member that passed on the installer. Not weeks ago actually...from the screenshots, the powers that be know exactly which version was leaked, and they know when the torrent was uploaded.
Yeah, but on the other hand, downloading a leaked beta and then posting about it publicly instead of quietly notifying the company is very, very, very wrong too.
