Is it that good?? I played a few years ago...but nv play already, always thought of buying the gold version..duh..
Anyway, anybody tried Blitzkrieg? How is it? -
the close combat games
-
I feel most of Jane's sim games are rather realistic. America's Army currently has my vote.
-
yeah..sub command is very good as a naval sim
-
The Close Combat was a great series...
Liked "A Bridge Too Far" over the "Russian Front" for its more intensive feel of the operation.
It was always a great feeling to knock out a Tiger with one of the PIATs concealed in a building. -
Call of Duty. Best.Damn.WW2.Game.Ever.Originally posted by Jazzswing:Which is the most realistic game you ever played?
oh wait, what do u mean by war game? strategy games? -
This is the most psychologically intensive military simulation because it throws in the entire spectrum of possibilities of military engagements that can be encountered by individual soldiers working together with others in a small-unit, with direct and indirect consequences of action from other small units.Originally posted by deathscythe99:x3....
The usually robotic AI of bots posing as enemy is actually fluidly authentic with respect to the real-life tactics of the intended enemy portrayed in the game.
The mission duration is rendered in real-time, so even though the gamer is physically relaxed in his/her PC chair, the mental stress of meeting mission objectives is always nagging him to stay on finish it, in real-time. Noting some who come out of accomplishing missions totally drained by the extent of immersion into the game itself, especially in campaign mode -
AGREED. In fact the greatest strength of the game was how they overcame the AI limitations. If each AI soldier acted on their own, they would be more than easy to take out by a human player. BUT because they moved together as a squad, and executed their squad movements, they became a fierce fighting platform.Originally posted by panzerjager:This is the most psychologically intensive military simulation because it throws in the entire spectrum of possibilities of military engagements that can be encountered by individual soldiers working together with others in a small-unit, with direct and indirect consequences of action from other small units.

1) Operation Flashpoint
(except for the vehicle combat, tanks, helis and planes)
2) Il-2 Sturmovik - Forgotten Battles
(best, most realistic WW2 combat flight sim ever, online play is a BLAST!)
3) Sub Command
(best modern sub game with realistic acoustic modelling)
4) Falcon 4 with patches + Superpaks
(best modern flight sim)
My system is still a bit weak to play Lock-On : Modern Air Combat properly so I'll reserve judgement after a not-so-cheap systems upgrade.
Anyone tried Hearts of Iron? It's way too complicated for me. -
The Russian Front was way too unbalanced for me. Once the tanks came on, it was almost impossible to get my infantry to get up close and everytime it seemd as if my anti-tank guns were way too exposed.
I preferred the Battle of the Bulge than either of the other two mentioned.Originally posted by |-|05|:dude you have that?! the russian front that is....can lend? -
If you haven't played blitzkrieg before go get it! The game might not be available in Singapore because i bought it in Australia. The game's got all major weapons from WW2. It plays in a 3/4 top-down look like warcraft and c & c. You cannot possibly rush the enemy as you have limited infantry and tanks in the beginning. Tactics is important and artillery is very important.
The artillery really fires from one end of map to the other. Plus u must deploy and transport around using trucks. Depending on the calibre, they have different ranges, damage, firing rate and deployment rate. Plus the game also adds counter-artillery fire because when enemy artillery fires on u... the map will show the approximate location of the batteries. So u have to choose a suitable artillery platform. They have self-propelled and towed howitzers as well as primitive MRLS.
Tanks have different armor values, gun damage and pentrative values. As usual the frontal armor is strongest and the back is the weakest. Some tanks are bigger and heavier then others... this is very apparent when u compare the German panzers with the allied ones. The allied missions are freakin difficult because ur shermans cannot possibly take on panthers and tigers head on. U have to flank them.
Infantry in this game are not cannon fodder. They can dig trenches and fortify a position. they can enter buildings... stop tanks by destroying the tracks... sometimes infantry can capture anti gun platforms and aa guns after killing the crew. Scouts/snipers when proned cannot be seen by the enemy unless they're really close, they can snipe and takeout AA guns so that you can follow on with an air-strike. They can use their binoculars to extend vision.. basically they provide intelligence.
theres just too many features for me to name all of them. Its the best real time military strategy game ive played that accurately portrays real-life combat tactics. Its created by nival interactive and they will be releasing more WW2 strat games soon, cant wait for it.
Other games i played that were good are... Operation Flashpoint... Jane's USAF and Longbow series. -

u guys should try call of duty

I think most of us have tried Call of Duty. It's fun, a total blast but not really realistic; a direct evolution of the Medal of Honour series. The scenarios are played like puzzles to be solved or are almost totally linear, the AI isn't as good as Op Flashpoint (or so it seemed to me). I won't deny the quality of the work though, it's definitely A+ with good entertainment values.
What it does really, really good is keeping the action uptempo with movie-style theatrics (Saving Private Ryan & Enemy at the Gates(title?))
In other news, what in heaven's name was Portugal doing?!Originally posted by the.raven:u guys should try call of duty -
Sorry, most of my older titles are now under the ownership of my 14 year old nephew. The rest are either abandonware I downloaded (Red Baron, Gunship 2000, SEAL Team, etc.) or the newer titles I'm playing.Originally posted by |-|05|:u have ar?? lend me leh

Totally agree with V1NS@niTY. Blitzkrieg is great. At least much better than C&C series.
Used to play Close combat : A bridge too far..good game too..anybody know how much are the classics going for.?
Call of duty..to me, it's fun for the first few hours..then it gets boring. AI is stupid, realism lacks ..( germans can get up immediately after getting shot on the chest with an M1 gerand) But the game play is there, at least.
Nobody tried Ghost Recon?
