Of course the map screen is still a dedicated screen and if users want to they can spend plenty of time there ordering units.
To give some concrete examples in Midway in order to trigger repairs you needed to go to a separate screen, taking you out of the action - now in Pacific you can trigger repairs from a small pop up that sits in the HUD so you are still in the action, able to see what's going on. Has anything been changed in the sequel, that allows you feel more involved in the action this time round?Īlastair Cornish: Good question! Something the team spent a lot of time on was trying to keep the user in the action as much as possible. My only issue was that to be really effective, especially in multiplayer and later single player levels, I often found myself spending 90% of my time in the map screen directing units without actually seeing or getting invloved in the action myself.
I'd just like to mention, I really enjoyed the first game.
