Does the dlc brings new features to the game (like COW did) or just a new campaign ?
How is the campaign ? What are your general impressions ?
Thx



Andrea G -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/8/2018 12:01:27 PM)

If you are interested in the air war of the Arab-Israeli Wars you should absolutely have it.
The campaign is not a storytelling like Northern Inferno (I have still to play Chains).



ultradave -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/8/2018 10:41:16 PM)

It's more of a progression of the history of air campaigns in the Middle East over many years. So far I'm enjoying it.



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/11/2018 5:10:54 PM)

Yes the Israeli-Arab conflict is definitely of interest to me. Would say it's even my favorite theater.
Guess I will get it sooner or later then. Thanks.



Lionheart -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/12/2018 3:03:08 PM)

The battles of Shifting Sands are intense and appear to have been painstakingly researched.

Hi guys, Im the DLC Author of Shifting Sands, thanks for all your kind words, the longest part of building a DLC or Scenario is the time it takes on research which is a considerable amount of the time put into building it



Airborne Rifles -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/12/2018 6:12:21 PM)

It shows, Sirius. Well done!



kch -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/13/2018 8:59:33 AM)

yeah.. excellent job. I find the DLC really engaging and challenging.



BDukes -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/13/2018 1:42:47 PM)

Yes is awesome. Lots of bombing action and strike planning. Probably most value of all DLC.



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/14/2018 11:06:54 AM)

One more question: can all scenarios be played from both side (Israelis and Arabs?). Or is there a preferred side ?



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/14/2018 11:32:32 AM)

last question: can I get a discount as I already own CMANO main game ? If yes, how ?
Or should I pay the full price of EUR 19.99 ?



PapaOurs -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/14/2018 6:21:17 PM)

You must play most scenarios as the Israelis (making the two sides playable in those kinds of in depth campaigns would probably make it a headache for the designer)

And, yes, I'm afraid you have to pay the DLC in full.

But all in all, it's an excellent DLC.

Thanks. Yes, makes sense that it's one-sided only.
And a pity that no discount for core game owners ;-)
But still looks good !

I think you'll find it's a good value, especially when you take into account the myriad updates to the game, user interface and databases that we've gotten for free along the way.



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/17/2018 6:54:55 AM)

It is on sale -25% on Steam so I bought it ;-)



Reg -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/18/2018 7:48:50 AM)


Can you confirm that Shifting Sands DLC activates the comprehensive aircraft damage feature?

I seem to have read it somewhere this is the case but I cannot seem to find the reference again. The reason is I do not have CoW (I would prefer SS) and so many of the newer community scenarios require the activated aircraft damage feature to play.

Thanks in advance,



nukkxx5058 -> RE: Is it worth it ? (2/18/2018 9:41:01 AM)

I already have comprehensive aircraft damage from COW so I can't confirm you if SS does too ...



Reg -> RE: Is it worth it ? (11/25/2018 12:28:53 AM)


I took advantage of the Xmas sale and Shifting Sands DLC does activate the advanced features such as comprehensive aircraft damage and cargo features.

Excellent. [:)] I can run all the community scenarios now!! [sm=happy0005.gif]




Blast33 -> RE: Is it worth it ? (1/5/2019 4:23:47 PM)

I just got CMANO and seriously enjoyed Schifting Sands.
Thanx for your time building it! Great.

GJ



RedBunny -> RE: Is it worth it ? (1/5/2019 10:17:05 PM)

I'm seriously enjoying Shifting Sands too. Got it just over a year ago even though I knew (know) next to nothing about modern warfare unlike most everybody else on this forum. I'm working my way through all the scenarios in order (skipping the ahistorical ones) replaying them if I didn't think I did well enough on the first playthrough or if I think I missed some feature or 'point' of the scenario. I'm finally on the last one, 'Bekaa Valley', which I'll try today.

Anyway. it's been fun and I've learned a lot. Since I started I bought the full game and just a week ago I got Silent Service so I'll tackle that one next.
