I never liked the WWII theme and always avoided any games that has these WW themes but this one just pulled me in! I like how they pay attention to detail, you could get ur men to take cover from tank wrecks (they stay in battle permanently I think. The fire animation is the best I've seen in any game yet!

It's really cool as well to see engineers play a much bigger role in the game rather than other games. From merely having just repair and capture buildings in other games, they are given a full work up with upgradable capabilities to handle flamethrowers, demolish buildings, build buildings, scan for mines, salvage wrecks for munitions. perrrghh! They are cheap too! even cheaper then regular infantry.

Really good utilization of havok physics as well. true ragdoll animations make the experience that much more immersive.

Sound.The expletives used really mirror their (the soldiers) desperation as well, also the way battlefield commentator gives grim reports on casualties really sounded like there are real men out there losing their lives. He would say them reluctantly like" .....they..... they are all dead".

yeah I played z before until the last stage. That was a great game for its time. I lol'd hard when two enemy tanks were trying to blast a puny squad of riflemen and the first tank got caught in the line of a shell fire from the second one lagging behind. It got hit in the weak rear armor and exploded.

manpower is the easiest to get, that's why you need more of those. You just need to capture ordinary flags to get more manpower. Fuel territories are far more limited in a map, I agree with dark.very precious one lo oil territories.

unit cap is the thing that I am most thankful for in this game! Otherwise the game will be dumbed down to just merely overpowering your enemy by just numbers. Because of unit caps made the old command and conquer series die off and for the same reason starcraft became a WCG game.

I got a bit taken aback when my units shouted to me "what the f*** u want???!!!" during a heated battle

LOL it was just a motivational poster for videogames. But very fitting for this game though.
