Poll: Force60 or 40:40?

[MarkShot]

I wish I knew how to create a poll, but I don't. So, just reply instead.

What are you playing and why?

Myself - Force60 (old habits are hard to break)

[Mobius]

40:40
It seem less giving orders to the time of a metronome and more like a variable length bound where orders are changed because the situation changes.

[junk2drive]

40:40 but it's not like I do something every reaction phase. 60 seconds seems so long now.

[Ssnake51]

40:40.
As junk2drive said: 60 seconds seems like a long time now after experiencing 40:40.

[MarkShot]

He he he ... I am going to turn out to be the one player who they added this option for! Well, thanks, anyway!

[JudgeDredd]

40:40

[junk2drive]

I think it is fine if people new to the system play at 60 but hope that they will someday give the 40:40 enough play to learn the nuances and what you can do or not do during the reaction phase. It is different and foreign to most people but it should be a learning experience just like the UI and rules of the game.

[FNG]

40:40 because it feels right to me with the platoon orders system.

[JMass]

40:40, in my opinion the best compromise.

[Commanderski]

40:40 The reaction time break has save me quite a few times already.

I use force 60. I find the 40 40 cycle interrupts the flow of the game for me. The very good thing is that we have choice. The more choice the better. I will probably try the 40 40 sequence again. perhaps I will find it different.

I actually hated 40:40 when I first came across it and detested the reaction phase. But once I got to grips with it and saw it in play, I couldn't go back to 60 sec turns.

40:40 for me. I've played the Force 60 a few times mainly for testing. The 40:40 just feels right to me.

Thanks

40:40

[diablo1]

40:0 random battles. I like 40 second turns without reaction phase myself and that's all I'll play now.

[FNG]

The coolest thing with PCO is that we all get to choose the mode that we most like [:)]

Same here.

[Ratzki]

40:40 here.

[Richie61]

40:40.

I still have a hard time adjusting to it. It's hard trying to get up to speed on a game that is on it's 3rd update and not knowing the correct keys or orders to perform. There are lots of unknowns for me  - still [&:]
I just haven't found the place where I feel I am "in the game and fighting with my troops". I still feel very detached. [:@]

But I am still plugging away. [:)] It's all me and not the game.

[MarkShot]

Poll results ... so what! I don't care if you are all playing 40:40, I am going to continue with Force:60.

Hmm ... I wonder why the developers put it in given that no one is using it? Was it Bil Hardenberger (beta tester)? I remember he didn't like the Reaction Phase and was fairly vocal for a while. He convinced me to sign up as a beta as well, but I never contributed anything ... well, at least, I got my Force:60.
