longevity devs??

Its not difficult to understand what 'replay factor' means is it?

Ill tell you why im strangely obsessed mate,, it's because im paying money for a game that i cant go back to play again once i have been thru it.

After Ive completed the campaign there is nothing left to do ok!!

Same as most of those previous titles,, just because they didn't include Skirmish in them dosent make that a good thing,, you can call it tradition, i call it incomplete!

I got my retail copy of Soldiers: HOWWII right there on the shelf mate! bought it when it came out and i can tell you straight that as soon as 'Soldiers' was released there was outrage about why there was no multiplayer, skirmish or whatever!! this is fact! so i don't think its entirely true to say tho that nobody complained about them.

It is perfectly possible to have a good single player game like MOW-V that also includes versatile options for extended play, such as skirmish.

Is anybody here saying that Skirmish would 'not' have been beneficial to MOW-V or any of those previous titles?

Final question,

Whilst in development of MOW-V, if you had a coder there offering to make you a complete skirmish mode add-on without compromising the current game, would you say 'no were not going to include that because its not traditional'?

Bottom line ,you concentrate on the negative , on what
could have been instead of what is .

sure, it's easy to say stuff like if i was the dev and had budget and
team it would have 50 sp missions and skirmish mod but we were
not devs and this game have 10 missions and no skirmish , from
here we have 2 choices ,one is to complain and let the devs know
how we feel , which i think you made pretty clear by now ,
and the second to actually do something and try to improve
the game , which IMO is much more beneficial to everyone .

I do think Buzard has a point. It's not something I would really pin on 1C but games being developed as a whole these days. With todays technology and the size of our hard drives, they could really make some kick butt games that blow away what was made 10 years ago. Unfortunately thats not the case, games being made now have way less content then in the past, they just have the eye candy. Its all part of the new business model where content is limited or held back on purpose to fill up the coffers with DLC 2 weeks later. Again, I'm not saying that's the case here, just the trend. Men of Peace, if you or the other modders weren't able to hack together the GEM editor for this game, then I would have been forced to shelve it 2 days after purchase. Luckily, enough of us made our wishes known for the editor and 1C has responded, so kudos to 1C there. If for some reason mods couldn't have been hacked or the GEM editor wasn't coming out, I wouldn't have thought this game was worth the price. As far as replayability, I am still playing stuff that came out 10 years ago because it was chock full of content and good stuff. Just not really the case these days.

Thx Force 10 that kind of sums up my entire point 2 days for a new game is just ridiculous!.

Men of peace,, I concentrated on the negative because that is the issue here and its also the title of my thread!,, the rest of the game is absolutely great.

I haven't come on here to start a war, but,, most responses i have had are from people telling me why this game dosent need any replay modes, this is still a computer game at the end of the day that is supposed to be for entertainment, so here's my bottom line dude:- short term entertainment is good,, long term is better.

When the editor comes out yes i will try and actively do something to change it,, this is what makes PC games better than others for me but,, people do need to complain when something is not right!,, the anarchists and the protesters and those that speak out in this world are the ones that plant the seeds for change!

Peace out!
