Theatre of War - "A Sniper`s Despair (2/2) (Participant in the video contest)"

[jimmyxx3]

What's this "game engine" thing?

How do oyu get it?

Does it make games run faster or something?

[XShadowY]

@jimmyxx3 It`s just the game as is. I had to actually play all the scenes I wanted to have in the video and while I was playing moving the camera around for the angles I had in mind. Let`s just say: It required a lot of patience... :-)

[jimmyxx3]

@XShadowY

Oh okay :)

The voices are funny for the Americans, but what the hell, this is excellent!

"Don't fire the gun" "ok i fire the gun!" lol. I watched the whole thing and it was great :)

[XShadowY]

@jimmyxx3 Thanks, I really appreciate that! When I made this video for the contest I was on a very tight deadline. I`m no voice actor and at first I only wanted to deliver the dialogue with subtitles, but then I thought that it might be too tiring for some people to watch and read, so I decided to dub all the characters. :-)

But I only had around 2-3 hours time for that, so it happened in a rush and the result is not very convincing, however I hoped for the audience`s mercy... :-)

[guitarmoe1]

right around 4:00, the best part

[LaBrantt23]

Encore!!!!  Encore!!!!!

[Wehrmacht3]

[ivanchernichenko]

1:21

Nice shootin' Tex!

[ivangrozny27]

Wait, how come the Amis shot their own men at the end.. I'm confused!

[XShadowY]

It`s supposed to be the german sniper in US uniform infiltrating the US HQ and in the end he is wearing his german sniper camouflage again to represent the difference. :-)

[ivangrozny27]

hmm, ok, anyway very nice video

[Basti19951995]

Wiedermal ein sehr gutes Filmchen

[XShadowY]

Freut mich, dass es Dir gefällt.

[krazykalash]

How do you get that FPS perspective cam?

[XShadowY]

In tanks you can "enter" the button up commander`s view ... For infantry ....

there is none. I`m imitating the head shake with the normal game camera. :-)

And that`s not funny, especially when you slip with the mouse off the mousepad and have to do it all over again. :-)

[ToucanX]

How can you enter the commander's view? What button is it?

[XShadowY]

Oh, that I don`t know anymore. :-( Haven`t the game installed at the moment so I can`t check it. Wasn`t it just the letter "c"? Please check the manual or the options menu for that.

[blinky123abc]

nice video, i found it really funny with u tryin to make american accents. its a nice lookin game but no match for company of heroes or world in conflict.

[hugostv]

of course it's no match in graphics, but in terms of realism this game is absolutely in a different league. WiC and CoH are just arcadish. This game is the real McCoy. Try playing it, you'll most likely get bored with its level of difficulty.

[willychong8921]

I've played theater of War 2 Africa 1943, it has a very high requirement but very real, also VERY DIFFICULT TO PLAY! I got nearly overwhelme by US until the AI contorlled Tiger relieved me before I was fully ahnnialated. This game was lent by my brother in law who bought it at RM189. I'll buy it after the price got down.

[CraP0]

my friend, you are my hero. this is stunning!

1000/10

However, it would be even better if you prehaps would start looking for another game-engine to make the movies with.

[XShadowY]

Thanks for your comment! :-) The thing is, if you compare all my Theatre of War videos you can see that this game allows a big variety of different kind of videos. But you are right. Only two more and then the series is finished. :-)

[Dengar12000]

A two for one headshot! That German sniper is badass!

5 stars again!

[XShadowY]

Thank you! ...not for the "badass", but that you liked it. ;-)

[ghostrecon1234567]

You can go into first person in this game??

[XShadowY]

No, not really. There is the possibility to go to a "commander in turrent like" position, but, if I recall it right, you are not able to control anything more then the view angles. And it only works for vehicles.

[LaBrantt23]

yes ghostrecon1234567 you can go to 1st person view, just select the unit and hit "enter."

[Hunter947]

Very well made

[BLOODdevilmedic]

nice video

[MarkOfTheRebel]

btw how DO you get the people to just point guns and not fire? and did they actually shoot the nazi?

[XShadowY]

There`s the button "Hold Fire", but they wouldn`t aim at a friendly (what the german sniper has to be in this scene, otherwise they wouldn`t even let him get to the wall :-) ), so I aimed at the wall ordered them to hold fire and at last I placed the german there. ...and no, he was not shot. You cannot arrange this scene like this way when they got the status "enemies" in the editor.

[MarkOfTheRebel]

i just noticed-they DO destroy each other at the same time, the two tnaks

[XShadowY]

Actually they shot at each other, but didn`t knock each other out, therefore I had to place a Jagdtiger behind each of them just to be sure. :-) ...and in 30 times recording the Panther only exploded once, so afterwards I used the version you see.

[germanyrokstheworld1]

Congrats again

[scriba]

5/5 again !!!

[FaaipDeOiadMG42]

Tank's in order: Tiger 2 "king tiger", mobil flak, jagdpanzer, panther auft 3

[kotovsky79]

man, it's really something )

[crazyfrog701]

That was brilliant but voices could be improved you should be hired for videos by battlefront like flintlock was for screens!!!!!!!!

[XShadowY]

Thanks for your comment. I`m aware of the "voice acting". Just see it as a kind of placeholder instead of reading subtitles. :-) I thought, if I only use subtitles it will be too ...dead? I think it`s an appropriate expression. :-)

[petertheman12]

nice dude cool movie but you told me that you are doing a diffent game well see you later
