Carrier Command Gaea Missions

By Tattyhat on October 4, 2012 8:32:07 AM from Elemental Forums Elemental Forums

Being a fan of the Carrier Command of days gone by, I bought this.

http://www.carriercommand.com/

 

At first I was disappointed because it seemed like they had transformed it in to a fps shooter, but that bit soon ended and the real game began.

I am very impressed, in fact I am hooked as I was with the original.  The game play is spot on and the carrier, manta and walrus graphics and physics are brilliant.

Has anyone else picked this up yet?

I've hesitated to pick it up based on the sentiment that the walrus pathfinding is particularly bad.   Can you comment on the vehicle controls and AI?

The walrus is stupid and most times cannot cross a bridge.  They have just made a statement that they are working on it.

Mostly I don't notice it, If they go walk-about, I jump in the driving seat and sort them out.

The enemy AI can be wicked, the AI of your own units is not so hot, but good enough.

The controls are fine, I find no problems there, and the way it's designed you can access every thing from your mouse.

Even with it's few problems the game is really good.  I have been playing it none stop since buying it.

Pretty good looking actually, just not sure if a single carrier is enough to keep me interested. The campaign looks pretty interesting though.

I expect that it does help if you were a fan of the classic.  The enemy carrier is very hard to find and kill at first, unless you are very lucky.  It's taking the islands and protecting your own that holds the most fun for me.
