Flip through my previous posts for a detailed run down on stats - I think I've done one for special stats (class related) and one for the standard set of stats. I can't remember when I made those posts, though. What stats to choose for your weapons really comes down to what you prefer, accuracy adds to the user's accuracy directly - so a gun with +35 accuracy is just as useful as pumping 35 points into that unit's accuracy rating. Damage increases the damage of all hits from the gun (including non-critical). Mobility is tricky - a low mobility (negative) will make the user move and react more slowly whereas a high mobility will make that unit move and react much faster. RoF increases the number of shots you can fire per second, for instance a .1 RoF rating would cause 10 shots per second (I think we're going to rework how this displays to the user). The final stat is noise, lower noise allows you to get through levels without alerting enemies.
Thank you all so much!!! I am really enjoying the game and the larger maps in China are very welcome. Enemy locations change with replays so replay ability is there. Will hostage rescue and bomb defusing missions be on the same or new maps? Can't wait for them either way. For $1.99, less than a cup of coffee, I can't believe how good this game is!
Awesome, this will be very helpful Two questions: Can we sneak up on enemies without altering them (at half speed maybe)? And is there a way to melee/do close range takedowns? +1 on that As much as I love IOS gaming, I don't always commit a lot of time to games. But B&C may be the exception. You could say I'm addicted. Game met or surpassed all my expectations!
Only two missions left. Revised opinion. My guys are getting killed or getting close to getting killed in the South China Sea missions. Same tactics, so maybe they need more health or more mobility to survive. Is there an upper limit to accuracy? Does it just keep stacking or once the max is reached, the extra accuracy points are just wasted? Can developer please not lock missions to stars? It feels like I am playing Angry Birds. Selling a Mighty Eagle IAP soon?
Never will our team do that. The star system is more focused for core gameplay in that we want users to unlock things (a game design standard seen in gaming for over 20 years now....I still remember all the frustration inherent in playing Mario 64, lol)
This game looks really cool. Is it possible to make B&C run on iOS 4.3? I'm using an iPhone 4, but on an older iOS.
I found upping the difficulty led me to change tactics. Not sure I want to post as may tread on being a spoiler for some. I would suggest that upping the difficulty is like having intel that the enemies are better trained and better eqipped. Knowing that, it has implications on strategy IMHO.
Just unlocked the expert setting, advanced and expert is where the good stuff is. That's where the missions need some tactics compared to the easier settings where you just go charging in all guns blazing. One thing I've found is that I had my guns all kitted up with all the addons like lights, silencers. Grips etc but the minus stats don't seem worth it, so now I've gone for the scope with only a +5 or 8 and no minus and the same for the other addons. Seems most expensive isn't always best. I love it when you just blow the door down and go charging in and clear the room can't wait for some dynamic cameras showing all this action and the ability to upload a replay of a good B&C will be great.
Call me crazy but I refuse to update this game until I get at least 50 golden guns. And after several hours of playing it's confirmed that this is a great game so it might sound weird for me to say that the single best part of the gem for me is still the music somehow
The Gold M4 won't disappear from the marketplace, so no need to hoard them. As long as it is showing up in your marketplace, you will always be able to get it. Users who buy the game after the next update just flat out won't see the gold gun on the marketplace.
I'll look into it - we're currently building to 5.0. I can't remember specifically what features require 5.0 - if we're not using any of them, we may be able to build to 4.3 in the future.
This game is really really good. I can't believe any strategy game fan wouldn't pick this up. The easy difficulties are more for learning the game and the higher difficulties and larger maps are where you will seriously get your strategy game fix. Oh, and the devs are very active and planned updates include hostage rescue and bomb defusing missions. Just get it. I will pst this on the App Store with a 5 star review.
If you decide to get Breach & Clear - do it quick, as we're only sale for 50% off through the 25th. I don't know what other new releases to recommend, but I've heard good things about Sky Gamblers and Deus Ex.
