Yes, its big about 1.6GBs worth but no worries there, Fileplanet forces you to install the IGN Download Manager.

Already tried it online. Only managed to play 1 game so far because of the instability of the Relic online servers is getting due to the influx of new players (a patch to fix this is due out sometime tommorow) but overall I'm really impressed with this game. The gameplay is fantastic; there is a lot strategy involved to this game then you might think (not your build, build, build and rush rts) and the graphics is gorgeous. One more thing, this game was also built to run on DX10 so it will end up lasting quite sometime. smile.gif

Errr, that's NOT what I wanted to hear.

Zookas CAN instakill tanks if fired properly... Conversely, you could fire a dozen times and only leave a small dent.

Anti tank weapons have an effect on tanks the same way bullets have an effect on body armour. As long as the shot is powerful enough to penetrate the armour, it WILL go through most of the time (Depending on angle, distance, luck, etc.). And once the armour is compromised, the entire integrity of the tank is down the gutter (Armour is kinda like hull integrity in a way)

So, a bazooka shot, which has the ability to puncture a whole in a Panzer, should be able to either break the armour and cook the contents, or not do a damn thing. This was why tanks NEVER charged at anti-tank guns since one shot would be fatal for a tank.

Play Close Combat or Soldiers and you'll see what I mean. Positioning and firepower is good in armour warfare, but at the end of the day, luck is the most important factor.

I'll still give this a shot if it isn't very RTS-ey in other aspects.

/hope fades in yet another game that could've replaced Close Combat

Well, your talking about trajectory and infliction of damage based on angle. Well this game looks like it covered almost alot of realistic WW combat but still there are some inconsistencies that i've noticed from the gameplay and trailer vids.

I believe damage is calculated on the distance of the shot as well as trajectory degrades after a certain distance. I've seen that in some of the vids....shots fired closer under cover tends to do damage more from long range cover shots. This looks like its affected by distance shot that i mentioned. This would be where, you can confirm if there are insta-kills in the game.

Im not sure if this game has incorporated morale as in DOW. If it did, then that would also play in the accuracy of the shot as well. The insta-kill theory would have to be confirmed by some of the guys here who can play the game.

Behaviour patterns shown by the units are good as i noticed from the gameplay vids. Those are quite impressive. however i would have appreciated if they could have somehow inserted angle of view like in Commandos. That was a good game.. still playing it.

On the point of amour penetration, i believe we can only account that in the game if the devs have inserted those values into the game's calculation of weapon and vehicle specs. I wonder if anyone could tell me if the Devs include kill shots like kill syncs in DOW.

Anyway H@H@.....the game looks like its worth a try. biggrin.gif

Hunt: Yeah well, in spite of the fact that I can't stand most of the newer WW2 RTS', I MUST try them (Unless they're sequels to something that I didn't like before).

So, yes, I will give this a shot... As soon as I get my PC back up.

Well thats good to know. I cant stand the older WW2 RTS games as well....somehow it gets real old soon. funny biggrin.gif

Why no Events for COH....DOW got it...

It took us quite a while to get events done for DOW.......i suggest you guys start a weekly gaming session like us at a well known venue and then increase your community.......

Well, i play COH but not as much as DOW.......its not that i dont like it......just cant find ppl to play with in the CCs........if you guys establish a place where ppl know that there are COH players....you may attract more to your community......

looking forward to a big COH community in Malaysia especially in KL.... we can get together for an evening tea or something and discuss about the game that we love! biggrin.gif

If thats one of your goals, then i suggest even the few of you here meet up and game in a CC where other ppl will start to realise that there is a COH community and will come to join......also when you see other ppl play COH, go up and ask them for friendly......let them enjoy the game with a another gamer......

Even with a few of you, you will be able to influence the others.......
