That's too bad. I would have liked to try the game out. but no steam for me.

TinCanWolf 04-10-12 12:41 PM

So it will be released on Steam? I really don't want to try it on some of the less well known downloadable content setups. Steam has always been terrific for me.

Arclight 04-10-12 12:57 PM

Yeah, just unlocked. Should be a demo as well.

Herman 04-10-12 01:16 PM

I looked for the demo, but can't seem to find it. Do I need to install Steam just to try the demo?

Anyone have a link for the demo?

Seems to be a very sad "christmas" for me.

I always buy a game on a disc and never downloading it.

Seems the demo is delayed; should be there but Valve seems to have some trouble getting this out the door properly.

So yeah, you do need Steam for it.

Just picked it up

VirtualVikingX 04-10-12 02:53 PM

Also bought the game tonight. (Its made here in Bergen!) :D

0rpheus 04-10-12 04:11 PM

Very jealous, looking forward to hearing some reports!

Drewcifer 04-10-12 09:48 PM

Bought it but I only just got thru the first couple tutorials, its late and I have to get to bed but maybe tomorrow after work I can get a better look at the game.

So far it looks my gamey then sim, but of course I haven't really got to see the game at work yet either so thats just my at a glance.

0rpheus 04-11-12 11:47 AM

Well, a mate of mine has just gifted me a copy in a totally unexpected and heartwarming gesture - downloading now fellas. :yeah:

How's the multiplayer looking?

VirtualVikingX 04-11-12 12:05 PM

Was going to post about MP. Only 4 scenarios, that I managed to find.... (!). And no mission editor yet.....

Hmmm. Wanna have a go anyway? I'm "virtualvikingx" on Steam. :)

Sure thing, I'll add you tonight. We can have a game once I've done a bit of the SP to figure out what the hell is going on :D

Done one or two tutorials... reminds me a lot of Dangerous Waters, but at a strategic level rather than individual unit level. Can't wait for a scenario editor to knock up some sub missions!

Seeadler 04-12-12 08:03 AM

Demo is online at Steam
http://store.steampowered.com/app/200050/

Includes six tutorial missions, two NATO campaign missions, one skirmish map and one multiplayer map

Arclight 04-16-12 03:15 PM

New patch went live: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...0.3.3-NOW-LIVE!

They did a fix to let ASM target surfaced subs. That takes care of a complaint I had; don't have to fly in more choppers or aircraft if you couldn't finish it with torpedoes but managed to force it to surface. Also, torpedo decoys are less effective, so hopefully helos are a bit more effective in prosecuting subs in the first place.

Ah, and an editor is definitely coming. Think it was just a "maybe" a while ago. :hmmm:

Good news all around, this one is going places. :yep:

Onkel Neal 04-16-12 06:14 PM

Updated the game, started the career mission #3. Two minutes into the game, all units froze in place...again.

Return to Desktop. :-?

There's a multiple page thread on that problem on their Tech Support forum. Seems to be some problem with Windows XP. They say they're working on it...

Onkel Neal 04-16-12 08:47 PM

Yah, I see. :shucks:

Seademon 06-14-12 10:57 AM

does not live up to the hype
 
naval war arctic circle, after playing just the demo is a poor mans harpoon.

models are made in a fashion that are arcade and console game like and something only good for iphone or free browser game or at best console.

While i dont have a great computer, 2.4 Dual core that can run arma2 easily,
when playing the game after putting up 1 helo , 1 jet and one p8 it freezes, on 3 occaisions.

To much of a kiddie game. lacks polish, the dangerous waters demo was far superior to this. Just an excuse to make a buck

Is there anyone who is playing this game who has it work seamlessly? Like no lock ups at all, the ability to use time compression at will and have it work properly without causing freezes etc?

A new video for "NWAC Bug avoidance techniques" has been added the YouTube Harpoon for Dummies channel to help players navigate the complexities of the game and to deliver the best possible playing experience.
