Steel Beasts Pro PE has arrived

[Softball]

I received my copy of SB Pro PE today, YAY! Came with a 96 page manual, CD ROM, and a USB Dongle. From what I have played so far, it's a LOT like Steel Beasts but with better graphics. There are a few new features like a 3D View in the pre-mission planning screen and a map "design" editor (You can make your own maps from scratch). I don't remember seeing those in SB1. The only problem I had installing SB Pro PE was my DVD drive did not recognize the CD. I had to put the CD into my other computer and install it over my network. SB Pro PE is the only game I have that has this problem, so I am guessing that it has something to do with the copy protection in SB Pro PE.

Here is a small video clip I made in the Gunnery A training mission:

Anyone else planning on getting this? I know Steel was considering getting it, but I'm not sure if he still intends to.

I've thought about it. However, the price puts me on the fence for now.

Watching that video sure makes it tempting, though! The graphics look a little better than OFP's I'd say.

I will be making some more video clips, hopefully that will give you a better idea of how it looks/plays.

Well, much as they are unable to include the Challenger II, I might very well still buy this. The price, for what it is, and the level of realism isn't all that bad. Considering that it is effectively a commercial product.

jeeeeezus....for $125 there better be strippers involved or at least a Hooters girl somewhere with a big ass plate of wings!

all that aside, looks interesting....might have to take a look at it since GRAW-PC got pushed to sometime in Q2-2006
