Men of War: Red Tide discussion

[szebus]

Men of War: Red Tide (http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=63712) is comming this fall by 1C. But what is Men of War: Red Tide ? Why it isn't anounced on 1c site ? Or it is just me who didn't see this ?

[Divebomb]

update is probably coming soon

There is a similar topic on the DMS forums:

From one of the DMS mods/admins (someone who looks important anyway.. :P)

"it's not done by the same developers as for Men of War. Some may remember Saboteurs or Silent Heroes for Soldiers, it's more going into this direction."

[szebus]

He is Instinct and yes he is important, at least for the community.;)

No, it's not done by the same developers as for Men of War. Some may remember Saboteurs or Silent Heroes for Soldiers, it's more going into this direction. Honestly, I'm not sure if it features multiplayer, unlikely to be honest.

The expansion is more aimed for the strategy buffs that loved the single campaigns of Soldiers.


We, DMS, are preparing something else for you, more focusing on the wishes you had for an expansion. (But we won't talk about this now)

how can you get mods

[KiloAlpha4]

Until probs that still exist with the first version are addressed, I for one won't be getting any "expansion" regardless of who makes it or what the "uber" campaign story is ( meh the writing of some dude sounds boring to me ). Besides, I don't pay $$ for mods and 1c's yet unfixed and unfinished software is giving me enough problems as it is.

I'm staying true to my word which is that Men of War is my LAST 1c software purchase....

[BigFoot]

I will buy it, I can't wait!!

[persoiranian]

me too. i'm looking forward to it

[Lancer]

I am so pleased with MoW I would happily pay triple the retail price when Red Tide comes out. MoW has given me so much pleasure I could crush a grape.:P

[Lawrence]

I purchased two copies digitally, the information on the download site didn't specify that it did or did not have a multiplayer version, but I only see Single Player. That reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly sucks.

[razputin]

Sell your other copy here, I am sure someone would buy it for a little less that what you paid!

[Mack the Knife]

from the other "bitch about no MP" thread:


It has been known since they announced it that this was going to be essentially just a new single-player campaign.
If you were somehow unable to grasp that from all the reviews you apparently read, then that's your fault.
Even here on the forums it has been stated a couple of times that is purely a single-player expansion:

[Nokturnal]

Haha, thanks for that Mack, saves me from doing it :P.

As i'm sure there will be more people coming here to whinge in the future, i thought i'd move this post here too:


DMS are also developing their own add-on to the Men of War franchise, Heroes Badge, which will be focusing on expanding multiplayer and co-op. That is also likely to be a reason why Red Tide didn't feature other playing modes.

[persoiranian]

Guys what is MOW A4 then?

[persoiranian]

Guys what is MOW A4 then?

same with the Heroes Badge or it's different?

[Divebomb]

A4 is Heroes Badge yeah, the DMS expansion.

[Nokturnal]

Yes as Divebomb says, A4 is now known as Heroes badge - A4 was the title they were using when it was a "secret project" :P But that secret didn't last long.

[persoiranian]

thanks for clearing my mind!!!
heroes badge is only MP or both MP and SP?

[Divebomb]

I think it's supposed to be.. japanese single player campaign. skirmish mode. and hopefully replay function. plus a ton of changes and additions to multiplayer overall

or something. no concrete list of features is available yet of course, it's probably still half a year or more away

[katzenkrimis]

just downloaded the demo and played it. you know, i really like where this game is going. i'm excited about it. i hear the 'heroes badge' sequel will have lots of improvements. i just think it just needs a little more polish. stuff like the user interface. which i've always thought looked bland. kinda cheap looking. gameplay is so realistic, but there are certain things about this game that give it that low budget feel. and that really bothers me for such a terrific strategy game. in the red tide demo it even looks like they improved the look of the selection graphics at the soldiers feet. the little highlighted circle. they are so close to acing this game. i'm very happy with the direction it's going.

[Mack the Knife]

a demo of what?

[Sneaksie]

Red Tide demo i guess, did you miss it? :)

[Mack the Knife]

did you miss it?
yup...was it announced here?? (by you!). but that's cool they released one, probably accounts for the increased chatter here on the forums. no matter though, i downloaded the full game the day it came out. http://www.crf2.com/images/smilies/groucho.gif
