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

Well, I played the demo and finally bought the game on sale. I will agree the ship models are horrible, I don't know if this is a case of the 3d engine being used or if their 3d artist was just incompetent. But I can't agree with you its like console quality, as its not even close. I don't know if you have played Battlestations Pacific or the new Battleship or any console games at all, but the ship models in those games are far superior to most PC games. As far as the freezes and crashes people have been having, I haven't experianced any, and I'm running this on a laptop with a dual-core 2.4 ghz AMD processor and 4G of Ram. My built in Radeon grahics will use a Gig of my Ram to render games and I can run every game I've tried with all the bells and whistles with out any problems, including new games that are just being released. I didn't have any of these issues in the demo or the full game, it runs without any problems on my system. Of course I'm running Win 7 and I have noticed most people having problems, are running XP, I don't know if this is the problem or not. Yes, the game is sub-par in quality visually and game play wise, it is my hope that eventually either the devs will get it together and improve it, or the modding comunity will take over. I don't know how moddable the game is going to be, every ship model in the game needs to be replaced and probably most aircraft as well. Whether this is possible I don't know, and of course only people who are interested in keeping this game alive are going to have any interest in improving it. And, yes, its no Fleet Command or Harpoon, but it can be if people will give it a chance and the modders will get involved. Anyway, that's just my 2 cents worth.

The same time compression / lock-up / crash bugs are reported by users with Win7 as well as XP.

I'm a big fan of their HOI series, but arctic circle was very ordinary IMO

Too bad this game had tons of potential and yet it didn't do well. Are there any similar games that offer such authentic weaponry and strategy?

Herman 10-13-12 01:22 PM

You can try Harpoon. Although Harpoon is also a bug-infested mess, it is sad to say that NWAC makes Harpoon look good in comparison.

Thanks, but if it is buggy I guess I won't bother with it.

Is this an MMO?

Herman 10-15-12 02:20 AM

Neither Harpoon nor Naval War: Arctic Circle are MMOs.

Demos are available for both versions of the game included within the Harpoon Ultimate bundle in order for you to determine if they are acceptable to you. Some are willing to play the games even in their current state, but many others do not.

Honestly - I have always found that Fleet Command with the NWS updates was really good.
