Slitherine invites players interested in
Order of Battle: US Marines to
head over to
this page to sign
up to beta test the upcoming military strategy expansion. Here's how this
works:
Only few weeks have passed since the Imperial Japanese troops
fought on the Chinese soil in Saturday Sun, the latest expansion of Order of
Battle: Pacific. But combat on the largest of Earth's oceans is far from being
over!
Contrary to the previous episodes of the series that were focused on specific
campaigns of the Pacific theatre of WW2, the next expansion is paying tribute to
one of the most famous branches of the US Army: the Marines! This elite military
corp proved essential in the island hopping strategy employed by the Allies in
this theater of operations. The new 11-scenario campaign features some of the
most iconic battles where the US Marines went down in history such as
Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima.
This expansion is now ready to enter the beta phase on PC!
And we invite players to help us
test it! By signing up for the beta, players will have a chance to be
selected to be one of the lucky few who will be able experience Order of Battle:
US Marines before release and help us with the final touches, ensuring a smooth
release in a few weeks.
Behind the Magic -
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's E3 2010 Build is a video showing a playthrough
of the E3 2010 demo for
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier deconstructing how the sausage
was made for this showing. The clip reveals how scripted
sequences and forced elements are carefully orchestrated,
and that what appears to be actual gameplay will not work unless the player
takes the exact steps required to trigger events. This includes enemies that
don't react to the player or being shot, which shows such "live" demos aren't
that different from pre-shot video in some cases (such as this one). The creator
notes that such fakery is not unique to this game, which seems to fall in with
the general perception that such practices are rampant. Thanks

Just one day left to get flowers, chocolate, cards, dinner reservations and the
like all lined up. I'm not trying to support commercial exploitation of
Valentine's Day... just trying to help keep some folks out of the doghouse.
