Details, many of them RIGHT NOW! Please!
IMHO, SH3 is prolly one of the best games ive played in a very long time, not a word of a lie. Except for me not having the latest directx(which caused an initial problem with my vid card and having the game recognise my system as meeting the requirements to play the game-but once I installed directx properly, game booted and everything was fine), I haven't had a problem with Starforce, or anything for that matter. Graphics are top notch, best ive seen on a game, single player has dynamic campaign and single missions("Battle of the Bismark mission" is wicked...nothing like seeing 15 inch guns go off...heh). The Sea is continous with changing weather conditions, which basically means you may cross a patrol area and the day is calm, clear skies and then return to find 15 km/h winds , rain and thunder, so no the game isnt divided up into maps, the campaign map is flowing I guess you could say. As far as MP goes, there is minor connection bug, where the Ready Button isnt at first shown, but appears after a few alt+tabs. With that said, since I tried MP, i've been playing it for a week straight, it is literally awesome. MP can have up to 8 players playing against AI comp with varying degrees of difficulty, with default scenarios, or you can create your own scenarios for online play with the battle editor that comes with the game. And trust me the AI can be really really hard especially when you have upwards of 6 Destroyers protecting the convoy...I had a Mp game last night with like 6 guys and none of us could even surface to fire a single torp cuz the DD's were dropping so many depth charges all around , so we all had to quit, heh. Great game IMO, worth every dollar of the 60$ I spent on it.
