Impact Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Hi,I never played any of the previous BC games, however somehow i found myself here...and really like the look of this game. However i cant seem to find any general information on what this game is about and the general overview of what you do and can do. Is the game open so you go do what you want...or is it more along the lines of you get told what to do then do it and move on to the next mission?would it be fair to say BCM is simlar in play to the Elite style games but just far far more advanced and in depth?

Don't know, never played Elite.Some of the vets would answer your questions in more detail, or even the Supreme Commander himself. I suggest you read the related documents (FAQ, VCF etc) they will give you an idea of the scope of the game. I never played BC3K either, but BCM has really caught my imagination. The premise is very simple really, you can do whatever the hell you want, in any genre you want, in a single game (other something like that). And before any of those damn fleets get their grubby mits on you, think about being an Indy and follow your own orders.I'd welcome you, but Nova would get all shitty, as he is the (self-proclaimed) Newbie welcome wagon Just 2 points, keep your nose clean, and don't piss of the SC. Then you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papi Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 Hi Impact, take a look at BCM product info page, there you'll find some more info about the game. quote: Is the game open so you go do what you want...or is it more along the lines of you get told what to do then do it and move on to the next mission? The game is very open ended, you may choose to take missions (ACM) or not (Free flight mode) in the start. Even if you choose to start with missions you can do what you want, but you may get court martialed and that may be end of the game. After the last mission game will continue in free flight mode. quote: would it be fair to say BCM is simlar in play to the Elite style games but just far far more advanced and in depth? Yes, I would say so, I have played Elite games and there's much of the same feeling but in BCM you're a real starship commander. You have whole crew to bark orders to and so on.I won't go further to the detail because you'll find it all here (and it would take a whole day for me to explain the depth of this game) Last but least, try free Battlecruiser 3000 AD 2.09 and BCM demo 2 and you'll get feeling of this game.Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modarken Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 well what can you expect, the only thing he would find is an empty VCF and a maybe the Faq which just lists more or less computer hardware related issues, and ofcourse the product info page. hehe[ 10-17-2001: Message edited by: mO ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Pablo Laracuente Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Dear Impact:Hi, if you want you can try the demos or maybe the free version of BC3K so you can learn by yourself what BCM is about.Also if Nova hasn't said welcome to you: WELCOME ABOARD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since when did the VCF qualify as information about the game? What do you think the products page, reviews page, screen shots pages etc are for?

Real_Lucas Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 LOLI thought RTFM meant; "Read The F***ing Manual", not; "Right, Then Forget the Manual". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modarken Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Well...personally I was always directed to reading the VCF for more info about the game, and yes the screenshots. You're right, the information is plentiful.[ 10-18-2001: Message edited by: mO ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted October 18, 2001 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 screenshots dont really tell you much about the game itself...yes they are nice if you know what the hell is going on.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
