Flashpoint Campaigns: Germany Reforged Announced!

[Kushan]

While I will  likely be purchasing day 1, as someone who never played the original Flashpoint Germany, is there anything special or unique about the FG scenarios that's not already covered in the crop of FCRS scenarios or is it just more NATO vs the USSR (not that is a bad thing)?

Excellent news. Love how the maps in the screenshots depict elevations.

Seconded on both points; I don't recall ever seeing something that well done on a 2-D computer game before.

'Tis a fine time to be of the groggy set!

They're looking a lot more like my old hand-drawn ones now, which is pretty damn cool considering they're computer generated.   O0

Read the answer in Capn Darwin's original post ..  :)

It was in reference to version 2.0.10, .. which is a requirement for the Scenario Pack.

Cheers

No problem. Just to cover the question. We will release the 2.0.10 update just ahead of Germany Reforged going live.

Well, yes and no. It's just more NATO versus the USSR. That's mostly what the Cold War gone HOT is all about. There are no new countries in this scenario pack. Those will be along with Southern Storm where 4 new countries will be added in.

What you get are 4 redone maps and a new one. The new map is of larger size than our previous maps.

What it really does is Grandfather the Flashpoint Germany game, the first game in the series to the current level of game play. So that you can play the old original scenarios with the new game mechanics. The pack includes the old scenarios as created. With their OOB's untouched. Then just to make it more interesting we added revised scenarios to reflect the considerable historical research done on the combatants and what they would have theoretically used. As close as we can get to the actual forces without them actually shooting at each other.

This pack has been in development for months. We are pretty sure you'll find lots more hours of FPC gameplay with the old fights given new life!!!

Good Hunting.

It's been a while since I played Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm. No particular reason, just moved to other wargames after having to format the PC.

This looks like an interesting package, although I guess it has more appeal to people who bought the original Flashpoint Campaigns and want to see what the scenarios are like with the new and improved standard than to people who truly want something new, due to there being no new countries until Southern Storm.

Does the pack include only standalone scenarios or can some of them be linked into a campaign?

What we lost from the original Flashpoint is the ability to fine tune SOP engagement doctrines.

Must say this is looking good. Like the size of maps... Are there many that size in the game ?

[Capn Darwin]

News of the day and it is good...

Downloading Germany Reforged now. Guess I know what I'll be streaming on my twitch channel Saturday :)

[Capn Darwin]

Kushan, what time is the stream? I will be happy to post on Matrix and Facebook to let folks know.  O0

Where do I  find my serial number if I bought the game on Steam? 

I want to register it with Matrix and the black pop-up with serial numbers isn't staying on the screen for more than a micro-second when I launch the game. 

Shift-tab doesn't seem to do anything even though I have the Steam overlay checked under the properties tab in the Game Library.

Saturday, 11am PST which I think is 19:00 GMT.

Thanks!

Steam does not have a serial number and thusly there is no way to register the game with Matrix. If you have a Matrix version with a serial number, there is a way to register with Steam. It is a function of how Steam and Matrix track sold versions. If you have any other questions, please contact Matrix Games support or even Steam support. I am not aware of any "fix" for this situation at the moment.
