Hey,

anyone who played act of war?
I have used the search function in the forums.. but nothing came up.. strange.
but that search function here never does the trick, I don't know what's wrong with it.
Anyway... anyone here played Act Of War?
The reviews say it can beat C&C Generals.. so that is promissing.
The screenshots look amazing.
But I can get the bitburger version... stange ?? this version is not in the nfo's on Nforce, there is a reloaded version...

I have so many questions... plz enlighten me Confused

THNX

I played it, it was rather nice rts, very good looking for sure.

I used a Reloaded release (which I ripped to dvd5 with xpda rip-kit) and Hoodlum's 1.04 patch cracked.

Theres will be a new AoW soon - http://www.gamershell.com/pc/act_of_war_high_treason/

The general layout and the idea was very good. SP was very enjoyable. Too bad MP had to little resources to make it fun... :-\

You could never get an army big enough to actually kick someones ass if they had above average base defense.. Sad

Maybe that was balanced in the patch I have no idea. If it only would've been more thought out MP I would still be playing it.

Still the MP had great potential. With more resources it really could've been something!
It was all very balanced and no unit where better than another. Going all choppers/tanks was to no use either as there was always one unit to kick their asses.
What I really liked was that you could build defense against the super weapons. That was really something new and made it a lot more interesting.

It almost became a superweapon rush. Since you could build multiple ones. Basically you just held off your opponent until you could launch more superweapons than he had defense and then rush in to mop up before he could clean up.

or sent in some suicide guys to try and wipe out one of his defense items.

Yeah the whole thing with movies with real actors is special. For some reason it brings something extra to a game like this.

About MP:
with more resources I am telling you it would've been better. It has everything desired in other ways. Balance, superweapons, counter superweapons and a load of units. I enjoyed it for a while but the thing with the small amount of resources really bugged me.
Yes I have said that before but now I have said it again.

yea i love games that have real movies in them but some CGI can be really cool if its well done.
i hate games that use cutscenes to tell storys they claim immersion all it really does is cuts there spending.

i bet some games that use real movies have had to pay more on making the movies than the actual games Laughing wouldnt be suprised if that was the case with the wing commander series anyway

So I see that everyone has got a problem with the fact that there are not enough resources.
Is there not some cheat code that gives many resources... for both the camps in MP.
I see here a code "fortknox"---> add $1000, but I guess its for SP.
Maybe if there is something like that you can have more fun with the MP part: player VS Comp.

Anyway...time will tell for me.. getting the game..

Well I do not like to cheat as the one typing the fastest would get the most resources in any deathmatch... Laughing
What I really missed was an option to change the number of resources when creating the server...

Ground Control 2 is even too balanced to be fun in multiplayer seriously!
Me and my friends has tried it a few times and if both drops down some of the best troops vs whatever they are best at nobody will win unless someone makes a real big mistake.
Artillery is of course very good in the game but if both teams has art nothing really happens.

a 1vs2 game is almost impossible to be fun as the one being on his own is most likely to get owned real quick as he has twice the troops against them.
