Quick Story Question
I've never played the campaign. Are the cutscenes necessary to comprehend the story of the game? If not, I might wait till the cutscene version to play it.

Re: Quick Story Question
Hm, actually they are not that necessary to comprehend the story, since in every new level the main informations are given on the information and briefing panels in the game, so you know your goals and the happenings around you all at all times; BUT as in most other games the cutscenes help a great deal in making the game athmosphere, since they show what's happening in the time after/before a mission etc. Also, the enemies threaten you over those cutscenes sometimes, without them you will just see the updated text in the info panel.
I know for myself that when the stable 2.2 version will be out (very soon i'd say since beta is already out), i'll go play the whole thing again just for the fun of watching the cutscenes
So if you can't wait, go play the normal one, but if you absolutely wanna get the whole expirience, then wait a bit 
BTW, since we're on the subject: can anyone tell me at least aproximately, when stable 2.2 will be out (in one, two, three, xy weeks)? I am at 80% done translating and wanna know if i have enough time to finish the whole thing :-S Thanks for any info, see ya. T.

Well, they're not completely necessary, but playing the game without cutscenes is a lot less fun.Starclopsofish wrote:I've never played the campaign. Are the cutscenes necessary to comprehend the story of the game? If not, I might wait till the cutscene version to play it.
Try out the 2.2 beta 1. You should NEVER play multiplayer with it (that's why we pulled it off the Downloads page), but singleplayer should still be good.
2.2 beta 2 will be released in a few weeks.ThomasCarstein wrote:BTW, since we're on the subject: can anyone tell me at least aproximately, when stable 2.2 will be out (in one, two, three, xy weeks)?

You might want to pull up an updated version of trunk. We added like 6 things to translate just a few days ago.
