super graphics wasted?

[Bob the Insane]

For me the only way the super graphics will be wasted is if a classic control option is not included (and no the TW control option in the options menu is not even close). I mean fair enough if a "simplified" option is there for new players and the probable port over to the xbox etc., but if there is any chance that the basic controls were programmed the same as for the previous TW games and were changed to suit unfamiliar to TW beta testers, please please please give us a real classic TW control interface!

I really need this explained to me as I really can't see the problems....

I can control that game in just the same way as MTW (other than the right click to move thing) if a chose to... Cursor keys and mouse for camera control, and mouse for selecting and moving units, I can reform units by holdig down the right button and moving the mouse and I can put units in loose formation and back and into wedges and skirmish mode if they are capable... What am I missing???

not much, the others havent figured out how to set their camera to original TW camera style, which you do IN-GAME under video options

Yup - I've seen more complaints about the camera. First thing I did was change it in the options to TW style. No problems here.

I tried the restricted view too. Talk about restricted! You can't move the camera view away from your commander. That's pretty cool... actually gives you a feel for how limited your perspective would be if you were stuck on the ground like a real commander (or could they really fly around the battlefield like in the previous games? ).

Actually ,I think I'll stick to Generals view all the time.Tried it last night ,and this feature alone really makes the leap forward from the first two games.
I've read a bit about a command and control option in the full game ,and am a little surprized this hasn't been talked about more on this forum.
This is where we're going to find the realism in this game.
Sheilds ,uniforms ,all that stuff can be modded anyway.
