KRP 56 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Just read an article in the March issue of Comp. Games mag. where their talking with Gearbox's Randy Pitchford about BIA. The statement he made gives me hope that this will indeed be a game worth owning. " BIA has thrown the heavy scripting now in vogue for shooters right off the battlefield. He equates that sort of thing to a bad TV show and to be more blunt about it, we think that's CRAP. You should see a lot more chances to make things happen rather than just watch them happen. That's one smart man and that's the kind of talk I want to hear about war games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurtz Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 This game is very similar to FSW with the use of 2 squads to suppress and flank, plus, the ability to get into the thick of it and shoot some enemy yourself. Plus the very good iron sights and tanks you can give orders to. Plus the authenticity of the maps. This game is more like GR for WW2 and has nothing in common with the slew of arcade games.

Sup Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I'll go put money down for the Xbox collectors edition in a few days, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoak Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Anyone read anything anywhere about the level of mod support that will be offered for the game? It's on the Unreal Warfare engine so in theory it would be as mod-able as UT2004 but that would depend on their license, and where they want to go with the game. VU for example promises mod support that's somewhat more advanced then the vanilla UT2004 on SWAT 4... Sup, why would you prefer the Xbox over the PC version of the game? It would seem a sure bet there will at lest be level tools for the PC game making that a 'shoe-in sure bet' better value IMHO... Δ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 If some really good mods turn up, I can simply buy the PC version when the price goes down. As it is, my PC will barely run it, and I'd prefer a decent framerate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swartsz Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 the last i read about mod-support is that are no real plans for it right now, but the dev-team will consider releasing the SDK after BiA hits the stores. i think it was on the official forums where i saw it.

Hatchetforce Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Just played the first few levels. Long load times but definitely the best WWII shooter ever. The feel is just right. No magical crosshairs in front of you. And the tone, the respect of the subject is the way it should be. Beautiful work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Can you toggle the cross hair and suppression icons off? In Live, can you turn off the cross hair, suppression icon and tactical view? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
