I am here...I finished CSF a while back...I thought it was a pretty
short game...I liked it though...Did I love it? Maybe not...the
graphics weren't as great as they should have been...
But as a game, I thought it was pretty good..

Well Iakovos, have you finished DP 1.34 yet?
Great mod I think.
I'm playing it again now.

Any news about a new Commandos title?

Ah no...still here although haven't checked into the group for a very long
time. I lost interest actually after Commandos 2.......gone off to the Total
War Series instead. The game just kind of went into a different direction
than what I really enjoyed.....so I still play the first and second issues
of the game. I had loads of fun with those games. Just couldn't get into the
first person shooter thing and only 3 of the original Commandos left.

But I still like you guys, really I do....)))

For an experienced gamer with the Commandos style, the FPS genre and a bit
of luck, the game becomes too easy.

If you are going to compare it with titles like CoD 2 or MOH:PA, then yeah,
the graphics look a bit lame.
Nevertheless, it was a fun experience to play it.

Now, if Pyro could only change their policy and release a freaking game
editor!!!

Not yet. Have been in a bit of a rush these past few days, changing jobs and
all.
I am still stuck on the 2nd mission (the Submarine mission), without having
started it yet.

Surely it is a great mod and not for the faint hearted.
I am sure I will play it fully later on. It is still in my pc, anyway

> Any news about a new Commandos title?

News so far say that there will be a new Commandos title. It is unknown
where that title will be headed. Probably in FPS style yet again, like in
CSF.

I guess this year's World Cup was a bit of a let down, instead of that WOW
football you expect to see.

It is still tough in the PC game as well.

>And can't find any walkthroughs yet.

I have finished the game, but haven't played the Commandos difficulty yet
(savouring the moment when I will).
Are you still stuck somewhere?

Cheers,
Iakovos:)

Which one? The Rome or the Medieval series? Are you waiting for Medieval 2?

The game just kind of went into a different direction

Yeah, as it happens, probably the move to full 3d was not a good one,
especially for the commandos fans all around. Yet again, that's the...
heading of the future, I guess.

Still, the original game was pure strategy and on that they should focus on
any new game in the series.

> But I still like you guys, really I do....)))

From everybody, a big thank you... you are a nice guy!!!! ))))

 >> Stay informed about: Reality check...II 

The Rome one for now. I still play STW too. I am waiting for Medieval 2 when
it comes out. The first Medieval game got annoying actually with all those
pop up windows. So I am hoping they get rid of that in the new version.

As for Commandos, yeah....the first person shooter just sort of lost it for
me. Commandos 2 was the best in my opinion. Good game, good graphics,
interesting missions, big maps, and challenging. Had it all for me. And
there are a couple of good missions in the first game....BEL....the one I
think I liked the best was the pre-invasion mission to take out the 4 guns.
If they had of kept the game along those lines, I would still play. But we
will see what happens with the next release. I am passing on the first
person shooter though.

Definitely. Although they must stay in touch with the latest graphical
improvements.

Yeah, I love Rome. I got Barbarian Invasion and Alexander too. But I
still love Rome, just for the legions

I loved C2 the best too. And BEL. In fact, BEL was my first love. It
was just fantastic. After that, I really liked BTCOD but not as much
as BEL. And C2 was amazing as well. Probably a tie between BEL and C2.

Well, haven't got Alexander yet. Is it a totally different game with that?

Still all the best thingies (apart from the shortcut keys... how could
they???)
in a short version of all the previous commandos was C3.

At least, they know what to look for in the next one... I hope.

It seems that the Medieval 2 demo is out... any thoughts?
