Instead of just ending at captain you should be able to become a general and manage all your forces across the map.
[QUOTE=KillerPopcorn;30668828]Oh, goodie. I just took over the Trenches with some help from a guy called "Michael Jackson"...[/QUOTE] My squad leader was called George Lopez
The AI is a better marksman and leader than I am. Is there any difference between the sides aside from color?
Is there any way to remove that annoying map?
Tab?
In a daring night op I and 6 troops took over the hospital. I was the only survivor. God rest ye fine soldiers. Your sacrifice was not in vain :patriot:
Hospital is such a pain to take over. Usually I find a boatload of enemies just camping there.
I held off a location against waves of enemy forces rambo-style. Reinforcements arrive and we mount an offensive. Come across a few green guys, one of them shoots and kills me. Out of the whole mass of people, he hits me. That's no way for a hero to die :(
tried to make a nice .csv (free voxel editor) converter to that guy's models script thingy [img]http://i.imgur.com/BMyR6.png[/img] thats 90 mbs

[QUOTE=zeldar;30671011]Hospital is such a pain to take over. Usually I find a boatload of enemies just camping there.[/QUOTE] My tactic was to advance to it at night and go from the back of the complex. I saw every baddie just facing the other way
I have the hardest time holding the Town and Warehouse long enough to capture the Suburbs. Pretty awesome though once I've got enough reinforcements to sneak around at night and take them by surprise.
I took the hospital by myself after I got fed up. Wasn't hard. Just need lots of grenades. [editline]24th June 2011[/editline] Honestly I beat the map in about 25 minutes, *scratches chin* needs increased difficulty.
It would be awesome if you could give orders to your unit instead of just "shoot when I shoot".
[QUOTE=KillerPopcorn;30672045]It would be awesome if you could give orders to your unit instead of just "shoot when I shoot".[/QUOTE] Yeah, like, hold down right click and move your mouse to select the options, like in SWAT 4, or with a menu kind of like in BF2 and L4D2.
They should add an option for captains to rally troops. Would make for awesome mass takeovers
my mod is better than vanilla
Holy shit the enemy AI is crafty. Either it was just coincidence but while I was moving troops to the hospital at night I got ambushed in the woods

The team moved through the west trenches, the west farm, and finally the hospital where they finally eradicated the red menace. " This game is the greatest. Definitely gonna follow development of this
The west trenches seem to be a really big deal. When I capture them, the war ends quickly. What rank did you start off at in that game?

games a bit easy. i beat it on both sides in... two hours max? i want the option to up the difficulty eh
Wow. After 10 minutes of gameplay this has really amazed me. Something I would like would be a marker or something similar that can highlight my character. When there are loadsa soldiers all over the screen it's hard to tell who I am.

I also think the artstyle needs a little tweaking so it's easier to tell the elevation of areas on the map. Sometimes I'll be shooting from a position that appears higher and the bullets will say otherwise. Once that gets sorted out, setting up MG's on hilltops should be pretty sweet.
There was a comment on the site with a suggestion that fixed both of those problems: a laser sight that only you can see. The biggest problem with the artstyle is that stupid filter or whatever that makes everything brown during the day and blue during the night.

Wow, this is amazing.
