So has anyone played the BETA. Man was so looking forward to a modern interpretation of this game.

WTF - they made it look worse than the original. ~Why build a game purposely to make it look like it came from an amiga.

Jeez ...

Just another day on the BF forum ... one demented idiots reaction to BF disagreeing about the thickness of the armour on a Tiger II turret mantlet.

I was a little surprised by the retro look, but I don't think it is that terrible. It is high res and stylistic, but I agree, it would have been much cooler to really make the graphics shine.

I think retro look can work...it is really all about the gameplay for me.

I like the retro look. Gameplay looks pretty interesting too. Definitely a buy, maybe a look-and-see-for-when for reviews and post-launch support or sales, though.

Each to their own I guess. I will give it another go but still a big disappointment.

Tried out the demo and I liked it quite a lot.  I never played the original so I have no frame of reference, but this seems like an awesome carrier sim with your standard power/ammo/engine/etc. management.  I dig all the little interactive screens and bells and whistles that give you information about the ship's status, weather conditions, radar, and so on.  The command deck is a bit busy with screens and buttons but it's all clean and clearly laid out.  The loadout customization for vehicles seemed really cool and reminded me of the original X-Com.

The retro style is a bit rough when you look closely at textures, but from distances I think the game looks quite nice.  The waypoint system was a bit funky in that I didn't seem to be able to move or delete any waypoints for my moving ground forces - not sure if that's intentional but it's rather annoying.  Overall I'll definitely be checking this out when it comes out.

Here's a couple screenshots - one that shows my view of my deploying SEAL team approaching the opfor island, and another zoomed in for a better look.



I was waiting for a mission, and for my sins, they gave me one.

The demo has been updated to support cooperative multiplayer. This is how it feels to play with friends  8)
