Are you looking for a new RTS game?

Sammeh · 03-16-2005, 08:13 AM

If so, you certainly have come to the right place.
The game i want to tell you about is called Act of War: Direct Action, it's based on todays and modern warfare. The game has three factions - Task Force Talon, U.S Army and Consortium.
The graphics can't be complained about, the graphics looks a bit like Generals only it's prettier, more detailed - plainly beautiful.

The game concentrates on taking the good parts from classic RTS gameplay( i.e Red Alert and Generals playstyle) and improving some of it's aspects.
An interesting improvement/change is the resource aspect - like in other RTS games you collect resources from standard resource locations like goldmines/resource fields(in this case, oil derricks). Besides that you can capture and hold financial buildings like a Bank.
The new part here is that you can capture hurt/crippled troopers, capturing and holding these in a Prisoner Camp(Prisoners of War) gives you a steady income of resources.
People say this game has great potentional of becoming a popular online game.

Here's a couple of links to you who are interested in knowing more about this game

is this a spam post? :dennis:

Sammeh · 03-16-2005, 08:17 AM

No, not at all. I just want to familiarize people with the game. It really deserves the attetntion, it's a great game

KamisoriX · 03-16-2005, 08:19 AM

I know the game. It's a CnC Generals clone. you don't work by any chance for ATARI?

Sammeh · 03-16-2005, 08:30 AM

No, don't work for Atari. I just want this game to be popular, so that it can grow into a big online game.
I wouldn't necessarily say that it's Generals clone, but the game certainly will remind people of Generals.

KamisoriX · 03-16-2005, 08:31 AM

it's by no means as bad as generals thou

Sammeh · 03-16-2005, 08:36 AM

Nope

And the developers have already released a patch, that only shows their enthusiasm for good support(like new patches).
They have said that they are going to support the game with patches to keep it good

KamisoriX · 03-16-2005, 08:40 AM

imagin they would have release no patches...like they actually really worked on the game so it's works flawless right out of the box....
But that would only show their dislike for the community and support I guess
