re: scenario design

[Glint]

I am stating a point of view regards my personal choice regards H2H. Whether a scenario is good or crap is in the mind of the guy playing it, each individual will think differently.

Actually, that's not true.

You complained, in an earlier post (Post #42), playing scenarios with companies that were not added correctly to their parent organizations. Well, there's an example of a poor scenario design... that becomes very evident when you play the game and the units can't resupply? It directly impacts the game in a negative way and contributes to the game being "crap."

That's not an subjective opinion... but a fact.

Again, if developers don't adhere to the game scale... don't utilize correct and functional OOB's... and don't follow a myriad of other "good practices" when designing scenarios... the end result will be a poorly constructed game that nobody will play because these creations are flawed in so many fundamental ways?

I don't know of many players who would wish to play through such Frankenstein "monsters"... and than to declare... or believe in their minds... that such scenarios are good? :chin:

Totally disagree! Many games I have played were chosen at random, with die rolls for the theatre, scenario and side played. Therefore many of my games played have been well designed, poor or whatever, for whatever reason. I'm sure I'm not the first to select games this way and find it more preferable to play a game completely blind and playing with what I'm dealt with, rather than to check scenario files, oob files etc, to know what's what in the scenario? I don't think I have ever been on record as stating anyones' scenario is good or bad? This is what I meant when I say I respect a guy for taking time to create a scenario whether poor or good in my opinion. I certainly wouldn't put myself on a pedestal and judge what criteria a scenario should be judged by.
I seem to remember playing an H2H scenario in RS that was passed by H2H yet, when I played it and made a constructive criticism about it, the point was taken into account and the scenario was amended? So much for H2H endorsed opinions in my opinion and a reason I'd never go through that route. I'm happy testing with my trusted friends, (inside and outside the circle).
