Lame ai in the demo.

Attacked their "cannon" units with only one horse unit and the ai (only meters away)
just looked on when I slaughtered his cannon guys... Sad

Hope it is because the difficulty is set on easy in demo?

I wouldn't count on that. Battlefield AI still seams to be moronic.

It looks great, runs great on everything maxed on my medium rig and it plays nice, though the ai is stupid sometimes...

No, we have no bears on the streets here in Russia.

mhm this game doesn´t like my laptop..

1. it take ages to go to the menu
2. the infantry battle stops loading @90% and crashes computer
3. naval battle (if it doesn´t crash either on 90%) have heavy graphical artifacts it isn´t playable.
4. updated drivers, same bullshit
Dunno but they must have some shitty QA Team Razz


Exactly same problems here. I don't have a laptop though. You running Windows 7 beta?

Got to try it today as I had to leave the slow arse download on overnight - really enjoyed it, naval combat is going to take some getting used to, seemed very fiddly getting every ship doing what I wanted.. in the end I saved myself the frustation and left half of them on auto-attack and just went to town broadsiding with the others. Still, I'm sure it wil all become second nature before long Smile

Few annoying glitches with some of the ground units, namely the artillery that just wouldn't budge (maybe that was just me.. but I tried everything to shift the fucker) and an enemy unit getting stuck in the riverbed with my cavalry looking dumbfounded as to why they couldn't hit him Very Happy

Overall that I had a lot of fun with it, and I'm as hyped as ever for retail.

:edit: About the loading times, I didn't find them to be too bad! not noticably longer than MTW2, at least, and my CPU isn't that strong..

Ok.. thanks Amer_MerzZz.

And Janz.. you are right, loading times are awful!
With my AMD Phenom X4, it takes AGES to load the mission.

Got a really stupid question here. Where the F is the game located on ur hard drive, been searching and can't find it ( I bet it is because of Valve) The reason as to why I want to find it is that I want a shortcut in "Rocket Dock" and by dragging a shortcut out from "Games (Vista)" don't work, it simply does not stick in Rocket Dock for some reason.

Hm, no great waiting time here. Approximately 10-15 secs does it load here. Time enough to read the statements. And that on an old E6600@3ghz with 4 gigs ram.

Well why are you searching for it? Just open up your STEAM folder manually, it's typically located in 'program files'.

Go there manually not using Windows search.

this game has so many "omg awesome" moments in it.

Just been trying diff tactics etc..

just had a game where i put 2 cannon up on the lil ridge at the start (they kinda get raped) and left my hessen line infantry behind to guard the cannon... i then take the rest of my army down the left side .. have a few lil skirmishes... push the filthy americans all the way back.. encountering cunts hiding in the trees.. so i deal with them while taking losses on the way...

next minute i notice my hessen infantry at the start are in a mini skirmish with 3 lines of american scum... and my 2 cannons have been pwned.. so i send 2 groups of Cuirassiers from the left side of the map charging full speed back to the start.. while the hessens are taking the mean losses.. i also aim my cannon thats on a ridge on the left of the map back to try help.

my cannon get a lucky hit and take out a few of the americans.. and then just as they hit my curassiers arrive and save my hessen infantry.. i think there was only like 10 line infantry left.

with that threat delt with i march the remaning hessen and curassiers over the water.. taking big damage as they do.. but marching with pride Very Happy

and on the other side of the map near the town hall im involevd in a huge as battle on flat terrain with lines of infantry taking big damage.. and my highlanders doing great.. however im getting a bit raped by a few cannon they put on a ridge.. and i have no horses to deal with them ....

then out behind the enemy come charging in my all mighty cuirassiers they have made it across the river and already taken down 6 cannon.

that should put those pesky colonials in their place!

LONG LIVE THE KING
