What do we think of Commandos 3?

[Adagio]

Sounds like the AI is finally getting better... The AI in Commandos 2 is pretty stupid... way more stupid than in Desperados

[Alex]

I bought Desperados in a sort of "woohoo-I'm-going-to-spend-money-today-like-there-is-no-tomorrow" frenzy, but never actually installed the game. Does it have some real AI? Because the AI in Commandos was totally scripted, not a real AI.

[Adagio]

I don't know about the first Commandos, but the AI in Desperados is much better than the one in Commandos 2

e.g. in C2 the AI doesn't notice if some of their pals are missing, and they take a very long time to realize some of their pals are under attack (I just hit someone who was being watched, I saw the blue line all the time, I tied the other guy up, then I took the guy and walked out of there, as I was gone, the other guy acted as he didn't see anything... and he was pretty close by)
In Desperados if you're being seen for a few seconds, the AI walks towards where you were spotted (Not always though... but it happens)
And if you're careless (Like me ) and leaves the bodies on the ground, there's a high risk lots of enemies runs around the whole map, so you're not always sure about having a "safehouse"



On a side-note:
You can't "walk" inside buildings like in C2, but you can go into a building, though if there's enemies inside the building, you'll slowly lose energy, unless you walk into the building with the Mexican guy... he can take out 3 enemies inside buildings...


But the best of it: This has a story, unlike C2

Yes! I love Desperados. The AI in Com3 is kind of like that in Desperados, from what I can tell from the demo in that the Nazi's react much faster than they did in the previous commandos games. The evil experiments must have finally succeeded in raising their intelligence.

Nice to know...

I'm not a fan of squad-based RTS games. If I'm playing a strategy game, I need empires and armies.

[DrSpike]

This really is quite a distinct genre from those RTS games.

hi ,

well the demo is up

its okay , but there are better games , 6.5/10

have a nice day

[Adagio]

I've now played the game a little...

...and damn... what the hell were they thinking as they chose the controls?
I've died tons of times because I was pressing the controls used in Com2, finding out the controls have been completely changed... How the hell do you change the controls, to something that's not annoying... It feels kinda like when you have set it up like this in fps games:

Right ctrl - Turn left
Left crtl - Turn right




...and as a side note:

The game is extremely dark on my screen (Like it is in most games), but I can't change the brightnes... Even if I change it in Windows, nothing happens in the game... there's not much difference if the player who plays it is blind or not, when playing on my computer...

[Dis]

cool- I love demos

I'm tempted to load up Commandos1 on my computer now, and have another go at that game.

[vovan]

Yeah, controls is the one thing that bothers me a lot in this game. On the train mission, I had a bit of trouble when the horde of soldiers comes rushing out, because it took a while to give everyone orders, since I wasn't much used to the controls...

talk about a slow download.

14 kb/sec for the commandos3 demo.

this could take a while.

[Dis]

now at 6%. *yawn*

who would think the official site would be so slow.

[Adagio]

I guess none of the 10,000 people downloading now, would have thought the site was that slow
