I would be driving along and suddenly part of the screen would flash like I drove through something. I did however experience some weird clipping issues while driving vehicles. I was running it at 1900×1200 resolution with the graphic settings at medium and there was no slow down.
#CARRIER COMMAND 2 INSTANT GAMING SERIES#
Weather and environmental effects are nicely done and you can see a bit of influence from the ARMA series in it. In terms of the visuals, the game is nice to look at, but nothing blew me away. I feel this was a missed opportunity and in the end hurts the overall experience. It is possible the developers of the game could add it in the future, but right now it’s just a single player game. The lack of multiplayer was also an issue for me. This being said, the game still suffers from many of the issues the main campaign has (waiting, lack of personality, etc.). It’s a fun mode if you want to avoid the single player story and get into the thick of things quickly. You can also set winning conditions too, like a number of carriers destroyed, or islands that need to be taken over. Here you are pitted against the computer in a large randomly-generated battle, but you have various settings at your disposal like the number of islands, enemy strength, what resources you start up with and how fast islands generate the materials you need. Other than the main campaign, you have one other mode called “Strategy Game”. Sure, my goal was just to take everything over and survive because this was war, but it would have been nice to see a human face or some kind of personality from the other side. I was craving for some feedback or human interaction from the opposing forces. Something seemed to be missing or left out – then it hit me. There was still something bugging me about the game as I progressed. In the swampy areas it is really hard to control ground assaults as you slip and slide in the mud and wet grass. Some can be swampy, others more temperate and others more desert-like. There are up to 33 islands in the game all with various environments.
Much of the time you will be running around activating switches to shut things down to gain access to areas and bypass enemy defences.ĭifferent islands have different properties: some have production facilities which will produce new equipment or vehicles others are rich in resources that you need to repair your carrier and produce your equipment. Not to mention most of the bases have gun turrets. I quickly found that this is not that simple because all the islands have defenses in the form of ground roaming robots, vehicles, as well as small and speedy airships. This is where the game’s focus shifts to the main campaign where you will be taking over various islands you come across by hacking into base computers. You wil then drive it to the nearest island on your map to search for supplies. So from your new seat you are able to remotely control the vehicle that brought you to the carrier.
However, the carrier is badly damaged and in need of repair. After all the robots are cleared, the surviving soldiers join you on the carrier, and you take command of the ship which turns out to be completely remote controlled, so you don’t need to leave your command chair. Once again you are back on foot in a short FPS segment taking out more robots. After becoming familiar with your new toy, you eventually make your way to the damaged carrier, dock at its side, and make your way inside.
