Default What is Dangerous Waters

Just over 2 months ago I bought SH3 (Which I luv) , I have been reading and hearin about DW since than too, and I have grown an interest in it. Just a few questions,
Can you still get it?
Is it set missions, eg You don't pass A well you have to repeat the same mission?
Which do you get more value out of, Multiplayer or singleplayer mode?

I know I sound like an interagotor but there are alot of games out there that can bite your pocket for no reward.

It's a modern naval warfare simulation that allows you to control various air, land and sea platforms. Yes, you can still get it. It does not have a dynamic campaign, and IMO is just fine without it. I've never played the multiplayer, and enjoy the game immensely. MP is supposedly a blast though, several players can crew one platform.

The official website with screenshots, playable demo, and links to reviews is below. You can only purchase from that website, it is not available in stores.

If you have an interest in modern naval warfare, it is a must have /

Dangerous Waters is the coolest modern naval simulation.
All info about game here:http://www.battlefront.com/products/dw/
It can be bought only at battlefront.

If you dont like campaign or single missions you can build your own missions/campaigns with mission editor(very easy to learn handle the editor).

Its great fun to play both nad MP and SP,but most of people who played online will say that its something that you cant resist doing over and over.

Dangerous Waters is more technical and more complex than SH3.If you manage to climb the steep learning curve it will give you much joy for years to come.

ADSL or broadband cable.
Not coming from a former "Old Soviet Repulic", I can recommend the game as a must to have.

I'm not from an "Old Soviet Republic" but from the America (Woot USA!! USA!! USA!!), I've bought it (Heck I pre-ordered it) and I would recommend it to any interested in modern naval sims. I have AOL 56K Dial Up and I can play online and even host games for small group of people, but if you have a lower quality service you’re probably out of luck.

DW is a must to have for all subsim nut's out there

The graphics aren't so sweet as those from SH3 but DW game play is much more challanging and intense.
