Yes, one of the prime reasons I play H3 is for the multiplayer. Even without that I would have purchased H3, it is a different game with different dynamics, different gameplay, etc. Pretty much the same goes for HC, except no multiplayer ;).

I'll probably get it. Main reason would be a user interface that's actually designed to be used by human beings...[:D]

I confess that, after having read everything about HCCE, I still find it somewhat mysterious.
 
Beyond some gold nuggets by TonyE and CV32, will anybody publish a complete list of modifications (improvements, semplifications, deletions) before release ?

I will buy it, since I want to have the current versions of Harpoon this time. Looking forward to try it out.

Btw, what resolutions does the game support?

Probably. But i'll wait and see how many bugs need ironing out. I've bought too many unfinished games already.

We'll see, beta testing never matches the creativeness of new players!

I will get it because while both can keep you on the edge of your seat the strategies and tactics are different and each presents a satisfying game experience in it's own right.

It just runs in a regular windows window (unless something has changed)... of course, the bigger the resolution the bigger the area you have for the interior windows. Should run on just about any resolution.

No.
 
Quite happy building stuff for ANW, thanks.
 
Anyway, I got bored of Harpoon Classic last century. Would be a step backwards (for me).
I don't work here. I just collect the glasses to get a beer quicker.

I can tell you from my own experiences testing:

Beta testers tend to be the hardcore most experienced players. Thus, they tend not to use/test arcade oriented options and/or make the type of constructs that only a confused noob would make while trying to play a game. As such, it is not uncommon for a game which received a lot of play by the testers to immediately have a flurry of bug reports upon release.

H3 ANW anyone?
Actually the way that game is going at the moment (ECM being downgraded, lack of response to suggestions and questions made by community and the bad attitude towards the same etc. etc. etc.) I don't see myself buying anything AGSI for the foreseable future so I'll change my vote to "no".
That is my opinion.
