Title: War in Heaven part 3?
Post by: Yarn on January 19, 2013, 01:59:55 pm
The campaign room shows only two parts of War in Heaven. How are you guys getting part 3?

That's what I thought. The War in Heaven release thread is titled "War in Heaven Acts 1-3 of 5," so I thinking that there were supposed to be three parts of War in Heaven right now. (I suppose there are, if you count The Blade Itself.)

Part 1 is act1 and 2 (also known as WiH1 or WiH R1), Part 2 is act 3 (Tenebra, also known as WiH2 or WiH R2).

If that's the case, then shouldn't part 1 be called "War in Heaven: Acts 1 & 2" and part 2 be called "War in Heaven: Act 3"?

The Part 2 campaign file will eventually include Acts 3, 4 and 5.

At least this isn't as confusing as all the Inferno release names right? :D

The Part 2 campaign file will eventually include Acts 3, 4 and 5.
So we'll have to play through Tenebra again?
Not that I'd mind, actually, just an opportunity to try a different approach for each mission :3

The numbering system for Blue Planet is unnecessarily confusing.
If that's the case, then shouldn't part 1 be called "War in Heaven: Acts 1 & 2" and part 2 be called "War in Heaven: Act 3"?
This would be the least ambiguous way to name the campaigns as they currently stand.
If Acts 3-4 will eventually be in the same campaign file, I would recommend not labelling it as 'Part 2' until it is complete, in order to avoid another layer of confusion upon Act 4's release. Installing FS2 Open mods is quite newcomer-unfriendly enough as it is.

The numbering system for Blue Planet is fine, what's confusing is the actual release structure. In our original plan it was just AoA, WiH R1, WiH R2, BP3.
