I played Commandos 1,and the differences are:Better graphics(way better graphics),commandos can do what they couldn't do in BEL(anybody except Whiskey can drive a vehicle not just the driver),there are three more commandos Natasha,the Thief and Whiskey(introduced in Night of the Wolves mission),When Commandos enter buildings,you can see in them(like walk around,go upstairs or a commando can shoot out of a window),there are new voices and finally cutscenes have arrived!,the spy can wear almost any uniform,every commando except Whiskey has a knapsack view,where you can exchange items from one commando to another or steal enemy guns and uniform if you have captured or killed him,you can now swim underwater with the diver and the thief,all the other commandos except Whiskey can now swim(just on the surface,not underwater,just the thief and the diver can) and you can control the Allies(the Americans)
What makes this one more challenging is:a harder AI,if you are in the snow ,you should then wear something warm,if the diver is underwater,he should wear his diving suit,every commando except Whiskey can wear an enemy uniform but only temporarely(you must collect more of the same uniform and add to the existing one with uniform points(little shirt icon next to the uniform) until the one that it came from's points reaches 30),the spy is the only commando that can wear it as long as he likes.
But that's what makes a realtime strategy so fun,right?
I love strategy/realtime strategy games,and commandos is my favourite!
The only thing that is confusing(if you played Behind enmey lines) is that the controls have changed,like the action key must be pressed with shift,but I quickly adapted to it!
You should first borrow it from a friend or rent it!
