Re: Call of Duty 2 & COD1 United Offensive

Duke, I too was stupid enough to buy COD without the expansion pack. Later, I bought the Deluxe edition. Fortunately, both packages were very cheap. It isn't stupid if you like a particular type of genre or series. I just happened to see the CoD box set and grabbed it for curiosities sake. Now, I a...

Re: Call of Duty 2 & COD1 United Offensive

Duke, You said that COD: UO was very similar to COD. Well, since the game is actually an expansion pack, which means it uses the same graphics engine, the same sound etc., isn't it reasonable that it feels similar to the original game? I mean if it was COD 2 and it was very similar to COD then that...

Re: Adventure games

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look but I have already started "Syberia II". Is it just me or did "Syberia" seem a bit short? I have read how "Amerzone" was short, could it truly be possible that "Amerzone" is even shorter than "Syberia?" Did you buy the game new or used? If it's used they may not...

Re: Hi everybody :)

No worries on the delay. I, too, sometimes lose track of where things are posted. By black powder guns you mean very old guns, which you have to reload manually and it takes a lot of time to do so? Yes, however, most black powder weapons in use are replicas. My Navy cap-and-ball revolver was a repli...

Re: Call of Duty 2 & COD1 United Offensive

Maybe you should give it another shot Duke. I am sure you will like it. Quite possible. As I said it has been awhile. Tactical shooters are generally more interesting but traditional FPS have their value too. Tactical shooters have a lot more interesting objectives, including secondary objectives a...

H&D2 Player Controlled Allies

Messed around this evening and played Ponte Grande with my lone soldier adding 5 of the available SAS allies. A slightly different mindset since you can't jump into their skins as you can with your regular squad mates. Well, I came up with this list of Allies (and Enemies you can arm) that can becom...

Re: Call of Duty 2 & COD1 United Offensive

Duke, I am surprised you didn't like UO. Do tell us your opinion and exactly what you didn't like about it. In fairness to COD1: UO ... it has been a while since I played it so I really can't remember a lot of the game. To best answer your question, however, I just enjoy a more tactical-based game ...

Re: Adventure games

I finished Call Of Duty: United Offensive a few days ago and finished writing it's review today. A great game indeed, very impressive and better than COD 1. What do you think of United Offensive? I have to disagree on that, I thought COD:UO was pretty bland. I didn't think either COD:UO or COD2 wer...

Re: Adventure games

Wow Duke, I am glad you got all those three games. They are truly excellent and not too difficult for inexperienced adventurers ;) Amerzone is the easiest, following Syberia and Syberia II being the hardest. Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten "Amerzone" to work right and have jumped into "Syberi...

Re: Missing in H&D2

Thanks for sharing the funny screenshots. I'm sure anyone who has played H&D2 long enough has had similar things happen to them.

Imagine all these years thinking a "ship of the desert" meant a camel. :lol:

Re: Adventure games

Got in my Syberia Collection yesterday. It includes Amerzone, Syberia, & Syberia II on one DVD. Amerzone seems to have a problem with showing cutscenes and visuals on my W7 64-bit. I haven't founded a solution yet through my efforts or online. No problem so far with Syberia or Syberia II so I went a...

Re: C6M2 OPERATION OVERLORD: BLADE DANCER

The military isn't for everyone and the majority do not make it a career. Plus, military or not, I'm sure there many folks happily doing their jobs that I would totally hate and many would have hated the lifestyle I had. Say, if you are still in Chicago and haven't done so ... you might check out th...
