Code Atlas - A modern grand strategy game. [closed alpha]

Well, it seems like Topmat has vanished from the forum. Too bad. Our second game was just underway and could have become interesting.
I do hope everything is alright for my former chess opponent.

@SS:

Just remembered I was gonna use the Battleship game subs but didn’t have enough so that’s how I thought of the 84 game.

Nothing wrong with using A&A subs, but if you had your heart set on Battleship subs (that doesn’t sound right), I’m sure you could just order spare parts from E-Bay on the cheap… I can’t imagine there not being thousands of Battleship pieces out there on E-Bay.

Heck, I ordered FOUR different sets of LotR Monopoly pieces off E-Bay to get enough fortresses for my LotR Risk game… so I can only imagine how common Battleship pieces must be.

Does anyone remember Hidden & Dangerous? It was a tactical squad-based FPS that was based on SAS missions in WWII.

It was so difficult, it was basically the “Dark Souls” of WWII shooters. One wrong move would trigger the alarm for an entire base and you would die in a hail of bulletfire. None of this “one man army” Call of Duty stuff, you had to think about every move, every kill to complete the mission.

I have fond memories of sitting around a CRT monitor with a couple of my friends, blanket draped over our heads so we could see better in the night missions, knuckles white with tension. Come to think of it, our moms were probably wondering what the hell we were looking at…  :lol:

Here is the BGG link. Some action shots

The computer is so much better then any person player. I hate playing against a computer!

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.

well is short order the deluxe version appears. Using the same exact pieces…. some deluxe?!@##%$%

I pulled mine out of a closet a few months ago.  It slipped my mind for years that it was in their.  You’re right i forgot the tower thats because i’m always the orcs and want to forget trying to get the crossbowmen off the tower every freakin time.  Eh!
