**New Game V.I. Combat... Commercial?

@Imperious-Leader I wasn’t aware that there was any other edition

+1 for LOTR risk. It was actually the game that then got me into A&A!

I know I’m a little late here, but here is the “Official” game video about Star Wars Rebellion

Well Dead Island SUCKS. It’s like playing GTA and Mortal Combat….with Zombies.

Totally nothing but constant “jobs” for you to complete, mostly alone. The game is hardly Multiplayer and you don’t get any guns till near the end and it is just one large map.

Left 4 Dead is 1 million times better.

It is basically impossible for you to play with friends since the game decides when you are at a similar mission level to “join” other people.

Trash can product. :x

@FieldMarshalGames:

Does anyone know of any home made set-ups for this game?

Played it for the 1st time last week-end and it was very fun.

We thought we would try bidding for territories next time.

Exemple: each player has 200 “credit” (total) to bid with.
We draw the 1st territory card, and players can bid for it. when nobody wants to top the last player bid, he got the territory, and so on…
so good bidding strategy is rewarded by better positioning at the beginning of the game, or more territories (ie more cash to spend).

I own Tide of Iron, looks great but I haven’t played it yet.

I have heard of this and even briefly played the open Beta test. It was not for me.

First off I’m only recently into shooters having been in the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta and MAG was not new guy friendly. BC2 was instantly fun to me. I got killed a lot but I felt like I was improving rapidly and did pretty well driving or gunning in a tank and despite feeling a bit out of my depth I was having fun.

MAG was not instantly fun and I’m still not quite sure what our objectives were and I never seemed to make it very far in any direction before getting sniped.

I’m not saying it wasn’t any good, just not for me. It was much more ‘hardcore’ to me and if you aren’t with a group of guys that are working together it seems like the fun factor will go away pretty quickly. I thought it would be fun to get to be OIC of a big 128 man battle but given my skill level at shooters earning the credentials for that seemed out of reach.

As far as I could tell, the game looks good with decent graphics. The map was huge and the controls felt sharp enough. But it is certainly a team game. Had I been in a squad or something with some guys willing to show me the ropes or something I may not have bailed as quickly on it. I also really only got to play it one morning near the end of the test, so I no doubt didn’t get the best look at it.

I’m still considering picking it up but I have a little bit of a backlog of games and some projects needed attention and will be getting Bad Company 2 and God of War III come March so I don’t really have room for this.

All Axis & Allies games. Some American Civil War games. Also Railroad Tycoon. No time or players for any others. I thought that I would like online versions of AA but the commitment to others that I do not know is awkward. I feel bad if I start and then have to leave before the game is over. If its someone that I know then we can always save and continue later. I am involved with this forum only.
