CC needs a free demo ASAP

[Veteran]

There are a lot of things going against CC right now:

1) A lot of people don't have it, making it frustrating/impractical to squad/platoon up.

2) It's hard to access the caverns. They shift a lot and end up on locked enemy continents.

3) Very few people have transport certs, through no fault of their own, and thus it's hard to travel to the geowarp.

4) Very few people who own CC really understand it, and a vast majority of those who don't have it are useless for defending/restructuring captured modules.

5) Other smaller games offer free trials of their expansions.

6) Bugs -- I have started crashing to desktop, which never happens for me. Also, about half a dozen smaller, yet frustrating bugs.

A free trial would increase the player-base's knowledge of the mechanics of the expansion, and make the game generally cooler. Just my opinion.

1) I agree with this. Last night my outfit had to totally restructure our large platoon into two squads of people who have CC and 1 squad that didn't. The one that didn't went topside while the rest of us battled under Hossin and Ceryshen.

2) I wouldn't say accessing the caverns is incrdibly hard but I noticed it is hard to get around in them. I know it would be kinda annoying, but I would like ziplines on my minimap so I could see where they were generally headed.

3) True, I dropped my gal not too long ago cause no one seemed to need it.

4) agreed, I even admit I don't understand it as well as I should.

5) maybe include a 7-day trial if you already are paying for PS?

6) My CPU has frozen 3 times since I installed CC. I cannot remember the last time I froze. I don't think I ever have before this.

I don't want to get it yet because I do not fully understand it. All kinds of questions that need answering.

Going to have to disagree with you on this one. People with no type of transport (Harraser, Reaver, Mosquito, ATV, Emp buggies, Lightning, Emp Tank, Deliverer, hell even a Lib) are not the majority. Most people have a vehicle of some sort and honestly? If you don't? Drop a 2 point cert and get ATV. With the addition of the switchblade not only do you get some very speedy and handy vehicles but a mobile AI turret as well.

Just a little misunderstanding, I meant Deliverer, Sunderer and Galaxy when I said transport certs.

If I was going to spend 2 creds on a car it would def. be Harasser (assuming I already had AMS). Super nimble, invisible to interlink and a decent machine gun. Good module/llu carrier. Frankly, though, Deliverer is looking better and better. Nothing like bringing a Pain, Vehicle and Shield module to a vital base (or at least so I assume).

Konried was so dead earlier that I stole 3 modules in a row from the same base. Go me.

I have CC and I have yet to enter a cavern. Every time I've logged on except for once, they were only open on enemy controlled territory. The one time I could have entered one and checked it out, I got gang rapped by some TR camping the cavern entrance. They were taking advantage of the bug that allows vehicles to deal damage inside the cavern geowarp.

The vehicles and weapons are fun, but with all the bugs and poor play balance I'm hoping things get fixed soon. When it's actually easier to steal the module than retrieve one, that's a big problem.

I still haven't been able to download the standard PS trial. It always corrupts. I'm on ADSL, no idea whats wrong - some say my ISP don't like the file size. I'd be nice if SOE made a fragmented download of 200 - 250MB file sizes.

I highly doubt there will be a free demo. Your free demo is in VR

[Duffman]

we can use them(CC things) in VR?

[Hamma]

Yes
