You worked on the original? Well played I hold in the same regard to that of “Eliteâ€. At the time they were fantastic games.

it was a hummmmmmmmm.

Falls off chair! News whats that!. Mind you I started following BF3 over the last month.

I really have fallen behind in games, not played a real PC game in well over a year. I hope it all works out and the longer the better if it means a better game. I’m a bit biased as I’ve got an old nearly six year old system, so if its next summer I’ll be happy as it would not getting bought before that and a new system is in place. One thing I do want is an easy way to set up a CAP for the Ship even with the Ai landing to re-arm and fuel to take off again to continue the CAP....

As does posts like this Bore! :D It still does not avoid the fact that this is a forum for a game and we have nothing to talk about. I don’t have a downer on the game as I’m one of the few that played the original and loved it. I do however don’t enjoy the lack of anything as that bores me even more than poor come backs. I hope it changes soon on both accounts.:(

At this point with the total lack of information ( total mistake in my mind and shows poor organisation) I think anyone would just take a small write up without pic’s if need be. But then I’m sure someone will come on with the “ writing a small write up is not simple, it takes time and the right information has to released and edited that takes time†Aye right! Its called being competent in the real world.

Recently released standalone expansion pack to the leading PC military simulator Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and DLC Arma 2: British Armed Forces will be followed by new titles in the near future: Pound of Ground: crazy action game from a 3rd person view with tons of zombies. Carrier Command: Gaea Mission, action game with strategic elements, based on the ground breaking classic. Bohemia Interactive is also working on continuous support and new development of its award winning line up of military simulation games. this was posted in there news a few days ago.

I think for me it was the fact you controlled so much that I loved. You could send out the Walrus to an island and take off in a Manta and fly it around while your ship was being moved as well all at the same time. See I came from the BBC etc and Elite and I loved the freedom, Game looked like crap to today’s games but hay back then it was fab. Imagine commanding a air and sea attack with many units and you can jump into any one of these units and fight or scout and at the same time order you ship to move or jump to battle stations and today you know it will look unbelievable.

I expect a full range of customisable Vehicles, why would this not be the case. Scout, Fighter, Support can all be fitted in.

be smart if you could just fire near orbit sats off the ship and they can be shot down....

Be good if you could set up supply links and have actual other vessels controlled by the Ai from island to island. A main supply craft to the Carrier so you would have to possibly delay an attack because you’ve pushed your supply lines too far. if the link is attacked and an island lost the other islands might have to rely on stores if there line back was lost. I remember there was a supply drone thing in the original.

As Weather seems to play a part in the game this could be on the Satellite too. Pushing an attack in bad weather appeals to me.

Shocking I have forgotten about the islands! If you attack and destroy a research island it would set back the time on development – I like that idea. I’d like early warning buildings etc and cap patrols all working away. You really could go to town.

Got to remember the original was so tiny compared to today’s games. I’d be really surprised and disappointed if they did not go to town with different armament. Its not based on real world tech like say a battlefield game so they can do anything. I think the real fun is if you can build your own ship by spec. I really don’t think we will be limited to one air and land/sea vehicle type.

I think the discussion flows back and forth due to fans that know the Developer and hold them in high esteem and then fans like myself that just don’t have any regard for this team. To me it’s certainly not a privilege, that word gets thrown around too lightly its just a game Company producing a game. I can appreciate if information gets released but nothing ever does and lets face it, for a game to be in development for a certain time frame I actually think it’s a bit disrespectful to the fans to not release such information and its certainly disrespectful to think we are all going to pee our pants and loose all control and demand more and more and more like a two year old. In my book its poor and shows a lack of interest in the community given I’ve been connected to one of the best communication franchises in Championship Manager and later Football Manager that shows even with a small dedicated team working hard with the community is of great benefit to shape the game around the very fans that will by it. With all this lack of communication from Bis makes me concerned that they actually are arrogant enough to try and produce the game without any feedback of what the community at large thinks and would like to see in the game. Could be just the case of the game is disappointing and there is nothing to discuss as I’ve seen that happen too.

Having spent many hours days playing the original I’m really looking forward to all the systems of the Ship that simply could not be done back then. Ship Defence systems and intelligence systems I’m especially looking forward. I think if they can crack the balance right between FP fighting in Vehicles and being locked away in the bowels of the ship working on tactics and onboard systems then it willl be a great game. I just don’t really want to run up a beach on this playing FPS but if its there then hay. I’d rather mastermind Support, repair and supply to fighting units and plan mass coordinated attacks from the ship along with the odd trip out to fight.

You know I really fancied this game, so it actually works and is possibly the great game I had imagined it. Since my PC celebrated its fifth and will be sixth in November birthday I’ve been out of touch with games. The closest I get is on a eight year olds 360 and he owns me on the FPS. I’ve always liked games that are not rush and kill that you have to actuallu plan a route and consider what the other side will do rather than who can build the most the quickest.

To be Fair JBD that’s what the poster said would happen. :rolleyes: In my View justifying the lack of information due to increased product development is a poor excuse. Yes we have all seen over hyped games releasing Videos that are not even in game etc but then I find the lack of anything even more annoying and we have seen games with very little exposure because the end result is so poor as well. Ok so the developer has a reputation that it releases better games and has poor communication (I have to take peoples word on that). You don’t need weekly updates or monthly but its embarrassing in my view that a professional development company locks itself away from the community at large.

Must say I feel the same way. I kind of got interested in this:yay:, then moved on as nothing is keeping me interested:( The only fact I’m on is I put it on the favourite bar at the top on my browser otherwise it would have been lost within my many favourites.

Great thing is I’m on a Five year old system. A Brand new car put me off a new rig and I’m happy to wait till a game come out I want to play. I gave up on BF2 as every few weeks it would crash the pc and I think the GFX card is just past it these days so don’t play anything other a Naveyfeilds browser game. I like the look of a few of the FPS that are coming out, as they just look absolutely fantastic. I got my Last PC to play BF2 and the new one will be for something that captures my interest like CC could do.

See showing my age.:o “OFP†and that is? :o Don’t get me wrong I know the original was limited and if they had the chance they may well have had individuals running around. But I’ve yet to see Ai that looks authentic when dealing with say ten soldiers. BF2 played fantastic with human players but was just nonsense only with the Ai. Lets just say if the game is 70% FPS and 30% carrier then I’m going to pass on it that’s for sure and when I get my new rig I’d rather buy a proper FPS.

I don’t want a new sci-fi future Arma as I’ve never played Arma….I do want a carrier command game and with forgive a bit of FPS. Keep the magic of the original with options and vehicles and aircraft and defence systems and Island building. Please for the love of god have me running up a beach like Rambo.

I not even that interested in a date and projected release date for the game but just some new info. Does not need to be a PR push as all, just a head up that things are progressing. Think of it like computing and the progress bar, at first you did not get the bar and what did people do ? Panic, switch on and off because they were shown nothing and thought what ever they were doing was not happening. Add a progress bar and the user is happy and understands it is working away. Just now its like looking at a black screen. Like I’ve said on here I followed a game that I thought looked very good. If I remember rightly it was “knights of the Sea†it was a PT boat game but it had no news and even when you went on official pages for the game it had last updated 2007 etc and this was looking in last year. So I lost total interest, I don’t know if it ever came out.

What an impressive post above, truly a good bit of thought has gone into that response. It’s great that you covered what has been said before again in such a ruthless account of random thoughts. I tip my hat at this contribution to community.

Doom I'm on your side with the "There should be more info" but agree with the others to go about asking about the game your doing it in a style thats been seen and done before on this forum and others and aggressive :confused:
