Armchair General spot

Stirling · 03-13-07, 06:07 PM

There is a small SH4 preview in the March Armchair General that says 'the single-player campaign spans 15 maps'.

What do you suppose they mean by that?

Campaign = Single Mission
Maps = Individual missions.

Alternatively it means the war patrol setting.

My guess would be that the single player campaign spans 15 maps.....

No, no, no - it's an old misinterpretation. Neal cleared this up a long time ago.

Someone mistakenly translated it from the developers' Romanian as 'maps', when all that was in fact meant was single missions/war patrols. There is only one big global map in the game, as in SHIII.

Correct - and the world is is a cylinder this time - unlike SHIII which was flat w/ the Pacific cut in half. So if you sailed east you would - eventually - end up where you started

I'm pretty sure you could circumnavigate in SH3 too.

So what does 'the single-player campaign spans 15 maps' mean ?

Is this line just refering to single stand alone missions that are not related to the campaign feature ?

Correct it is in no way related to the campaign. Its supposed to be 15 missions for single player non campaign mode.
