Matrix Games reworking BG Gettysburg - Havoc - 10-13-2006 I saw an add on Matrix's web page that said they are in the process of revamping BG Gettysburg. Anyone know what kind of changes they will be making? Havoc RE: Matrix Games reworking BG Gettysburg - rahamy - 10-14-2006 Simply a recompile of the games with the 32-bit patches included, the scenario editors and making them compliant with XP. RE: Matrix Games reworking BG Gettysburg - Havoc - 10-15-2006 Huh, what's the point then? There are a number of things they could've done to improve it, but then HPS has their series out there and it's hard to compete with. RE: Matrix Games reworking BG Gettysburg - rahamy - 10-15-2006 Exactly, how would they compete with a mature series that's been adding new features for 6 years now, and covers more in 1 title than all the BG series games combined - in terms of maps, battles and lets not forget campaigns... RE: Matrix Games reworking BG Gettysburg - Havoc - 10-21-2006 The two items of the HPS games that HPS could improve are the 3d graphics and to add an option that does not allow movement after melees have commenced. I don't particularly like the fact that opponents can use "blitzkrieg" like tactics in a ACW battlefield. This causes atypical tactics in order to defend properly.
