| Best. Physics. Ever.
It's the first RTS (to my knowledge, my kung fu is weak) with omgwtf destructable terrain. Every bullet and tank shell has a noted trajectory, so it's not just "my tank missed", it's "Oh, the tank missed, and blew up a goddamn building." Favorite mission so far - taking a group of airborne troops through a massive V2 rocket facility, planting demolition charges on hydrogen fuel tanks, parachuting troops and supplies behind the enemy to flank (once you take out the AA guns that prevent you from getting IN UR BASE AND KILLING ALL UR DUDES), and using satchel charges to take out sentry towers that would otherwise spray death upon your squads. Probably the best infantry combat EVAR in a RTS. Too bad that tanks kill everything. Once you start getting tanks, it's rather pointless to have any more than one or two infantry squads (you need them to capture points and build nifty defenses). Speaking of which, engineers and general infantry can make some pretty sick shit. Just captured a point and want to hold onto it for more than a few seconds? Throw up some sandbags, capture an MG42, lay down barbed wire on the approaches, and you've got a machinegun nest from hell. Strategic placement of tank traps and mines can turn a city block into a deadly maze for any panzers that feel like rolling through. Cool points - you can outfit your tanks with bigass bulldozers and mine flails that mow through walls, hedgerows, buildings, and PEOPLE like fucking grass underneath a John Deere. Haven't played the multiplayer yet - my wireless connection can't go more than 45 seconds without lag spiking me to the point of unplayability. It's good single player though, well worth a download. |
