Combat Mission Shock Force 2 e nuova patch

Per chi ancora non lo sapesse la Battlefront ha rilasciato da poco la versione aggiornata del suo primo gioco dell'engine CMx2, Shock Force portato allo standard dei giochi successivi, e quindi, parte per me più interessante, la possibilità di fare sandbox game con un sistema manuale di scelta delle truppe. Il primo prevedeva infatti una scelta random delle truppe, che in teoria doveva essere bilanciata ma in pratica produceva scelte assurde.

Per i possessori della versione 1 è possibile acquistare l'aggiornamento alla versione 2 (per il gioco base e moduli) spendendo un bel po' meno.

E' uscita anche la prima patch ufficiale.

Due patches per Combat Mission

E' stata rilasciata prima la patch 1.2 per Combat Mission Red Thunder:

• Building entry no longer problematic for some systems
• Infantry flamethrowers have slightly longer range
• Troops spot immediately nearby mines better (esp. engineers)
• Ricocheting APHE will not explode where it finally lands (the fuse is considered damaged)
• Fixed a bug that sometimes caused buttoned-up tank crew to be suppressed by external explosions
• Squads position their teams better along walls, fences and hedges
• Artillery usually requires another spotting round or two before acquiring the target
• Corrected some TacAI problems with crewmen positioning themselves around a heavy weapon
• Improved coordination between tank hull and turret rotation
• Better logic selecting the two men for scout teams
• Improved long-range optics for JPz IV, Jagdpanther
• Very heavily-laden soldiers cannot use Fast or sometimes even Quick moves
• Mouse text for targeting: too close or out of range
• Towed guns look better as vehicle turns
• Improved damage modeling for external systems on tanks
• Improved QuickBattle choices
• Improved TCP/IP play

E poi la patch 3.11 per Combat Mission Battle for Normandy (qui vuole l'upgrade 3.0 per installarla)
