Author Topic: Dangerous Waters demo is out... (Read 1229 times)

im excited for Silent Hunter III too, but after playing the demo levels for DW about a hundred times I bit the bullet and ordered it. (since you cant get it in any local stores)

Playing as the MH-60 was just too much fun for me.. some guy reprogrammed the demo missions so you can do a little more stuff and hunting two Kilo's is just too friggin cool. Drop down a line of sonobouys and look for just the slightest indication they're there.. pretty fun. I killed off one once last night and the 2nd stayed ridiculously quiet, and I only found him when I got the tinyest speck of an active return when using the dipping sonar. Retracted the hydrophone, went to about 150 feet and lowered the MAD gear and flew along the track that I got the hit from until I heard 'MAD MAD MAD!" from the crew.. another hydrophone dip, ping, and then a drop of a Mk50 and *boom*.

If there is a decent amount of following online then I cant wait to hunt the silly sub drivers

What will the gameplay be like in SH3 or DW? If there's some realism by way of realistic missions, I might well be interested. Just so long as it's not "whizz-pop-ping-bap-boom", ruh-roh, grab another sub, rinse & repeat every 30 secs.

i certainly hope so, gixer. im not trying to take anything away from SHIII at all, because i cant wait for that as well

so far this month is looking up for games

2/18 - dw
2/22 - gt4
2/22 - mvp baseball 2005
3/17 - shiii

and then sometime in mid march or early april is the expansion pack for doom3, and then battlefield 2

Dark waters has realism, but then again it has it set that you can have all your crew members do the jobs. You just give out the basic orders.

Or you can do it all yourself if you'd like.

Just played the demo for a few minutes but It looks prettycool. Controls are just like in sub-command. I had to veiw the options a few times to refresh my memory for the controls. I like the added helo option.but my poor lil kilo got waxed fairly easy

SH3 will have realism in spades look at the SH3 website and read the forums for details. There will be a full dynamic campaign. Crew management morale the works. This isn't something that's going to be released on the xbox a well. It's a true PC Sim.

Broken? Did you think to type Silent Hunter 3 into Google and click the first thing there? If not.
