Ok so Relic and THQ just put out a RTS WW2 game came out this week i heard about it reading the PC gamer had givien it a 96% i think only one oe 2 games have ever had a higher score. so this must be a must have. the opening movie is great and you start the campaign with the typical landing on Normandy beach. it played out great a little scrpted feeling. but over all i love this and the visuals are amazing.
So you can play either german or american sides,so far i think the campaign is just allied.
and as you progress you get to pick from 1 of 3 possible tech tress to research for upgrades.
for the allied you have:
1- Airborn troops( witch as the name implies gives you ability to parachute in airborn troops but also supplys and small portable anti tank guns aswell. there best option is the p47's fighters you get one a scout then second teir is a strafing run and last tier that cost alot of resources is the P47 bombing run. great to take out enenmy tanks.
2- Armor company( means you specialise in armor giving you ability to manufacture tanks at a faster rate.)there 2 high lvl attacks is the calliope rocket launcher (witch is a rack of missles loaded over top of a sherman tank) sort of like a multiple rocket launch system.
and last the heavy pershing tank(they say it equivelent of the tiger tank but i dont think so haha)
3- infanty company title says it all mostly gives bonuses to your infanty ie rapid responce and rangers nice thing this tree has is the defensive operations tech. makes you regular infanty be able to build defensive fortifications like sand bag walls/barbed wire fences and deploy anti tank mines. so you dont have to waste time with alot of engineer units just use your troops there to build def. the infantry uper teir tech is the off map arty and a permanant 105 mm howiters witch can be built by your engineers. it say multiple batteries of 105's can be built then you can constant barage areas with you own on screen arty sweet.
Ill come back later and do a write up on the axis commander tech tree. iam just itching to get in a play a skirmish mission again. i hate going to bed after loosing a battle and got my but whooped in skirmish last night. be back soon
