Experiment to see how hard game is...

[Didz]

Tambarskjelve>>> I do of course admit that my friend isnt the "average player", but as I mentioned, I dont believe this game is directed to the average joe.

I don't think that was a major factor, my 15 year old son recently started playing MTW2 and he uses exactly the same tactics with exactly the same results.

Its basically a flaw in the game design that allows players to win easier by explioting the reward system.

Didz>>> He kind of blizzed yeah, but note that almost EVERY player ever play the game in the way the game points them. Basicly you stick to what seems to be working when you first get a new game... So if he blizzed, it was because the game taught him to do so.

Exactly, the problem is that as it stands the game rewards this sort of play and because it does it encourages players to expliot that approach.

If this were not the case and the rewards were removed then players would be forced to play the game as it was intended to be played and utilise all aspects of the games design.
