AE only a Addon?

Post by Witti44 »

Hey,

the information at the matrixshop calls the AE standalone addon but I am a little confused. Are War in the Pacific and the AE different games or is the AE the maingame with new features?

Do I need both games to play all the content or is the AE the complete game and I need only this editon? [X(]

AE is a complete game. WitP is more or less the 'old version' of the same content.

Lawyers like to say that the law is a jealous mistress.

Lawyers who play AE know that AE is the real mistress - alluring, enticing, beautiful beyond comprehension, demanding time and attention and petting beyond our ability to satisfy.

I can attest and affirm that long-term play of WiTP:AE *is* a trial. And a tribulation.

Never having played WITP, my understanding is that WITP is the AC-47 while WITP-AE is the AC-130.

Only buy it if you want to be consumed with an addiction that will drive you crazy. Even playing solo.

I would have said Cadillac {WITP} and Rolls Royce {AE}.
