The one you ran last year based on Angola was set up very well,but player commitment was abismal in alot of cases.
I mean if you don't have time to join a bowling league you just don't. Likewise If the players don't have time to properly
be involved in a combat campaign, quite frankly they shouldn't bother.

Alot has to do with the level of detail. Most times it becomes overly complex as many of the harder core players want more detail which keeps their interest up BUT I believe also drives away the more casual players who just want to play and not have to spend several hours a week with planning, creating orders and coordinating with others on a strategic level. I also find you have players who end up playing the same people over an over especially if they have assigned units. That can also lead to boredom. |
I think Red Snow's success also had something to do with the fact you were using SPWAW. I haven't figured out why, but ALOT of steel panthers players have a love affair with that version.
I never will. I don't forget so easy.
The major Matrix Games steel panthers failures. (Yup here we go again)
1) Steel Panthers:Modern Warfare. They proudly anounce this on thier website circa 2000, and within about 12 months pull the plug.
2) Steel Panthers:Moderna After thier SP:MW dibacle they anounce that they are going to re release Ija Vahra's SP3-Moderna
mod and greatly improve it. Soon afterwards they ran into "roadblocks" which obstructed them from finishing.
3) Combat Leader- This was to be the "Next Phase" of Steel Panthers gaming. This was actually being slated for a mid 2003 release date. Vebber and Heath just never got it together.
They talked about this game for years until finally failing to produce it.
Three strikes, Matrix is OUT!
If you look at say the blitz ladder,almost everybody plays or will play SPWAW or SPWAW H2H.
Now dispite my revultion for Matrix, the TCP\IP feature used to be nice. There was really nothing like playing online.
I haven't actually played online since SPWAW 4.5 (2001?) and SP3 Online 1.0 (2000)
Sorry about the rant.
