Looks like a new gametype for BC2

And if it performs as crappy as BC2 does with its poor hit detection and lousy server browser then it's a no sale.

Go play hearts of iron 3. You'll love it. shakmaster13

Oh yeahhhh true, I hear the real time battles in Hearts of Iron are really good. No.

Part of what makes the TW series so good is being able to use your own tactics and strategies on the battlefield which can lead you to victory in even the most overwhelming of odds.

And for the record, I hated HOI3.

They would probably change their sometimes lacking programming and mechanis of soliders, to fight differently than in other TW games.

But that is besides the point. The majority of TW players, do NOT wan't to play a modern era TW game, hundreds of polls have been made about this.

And I think what the previous poster is suggesting, is that company of heroes allready got modern warfare, ask them to put on a useable worldmap along with their games. They are good at making modern warfare rts, don't ask the experts on Medieval warfare, to waste their resources on something, that would probably be nothing but trash, since all their experience and efforts so far have been around medieval and early modern warfare (which I think have been the worst games so far, they are still LEAGUES better than most of the other "games" or "garbage" on the market, but compared to TW quality, they sux)

I know it probably wont happen, I just hate the silly reasoning people use when this topic comes up.

The main problem I see when people suggest Company of Heroes is that they don't understand differing gameplay in the RTS genre. Games like CoH are much more tactical RTS games where as games like the TW series are much more strategical RTS games.

You could add a grand campaign map to CoH but it still wouldn't capture the epic scale of battles in WWII nor would it make strategy a bigger focus in battles.

try "Company of Heroes"

As for Total War, much better sticking to swords and arrows

How would that work? Soldiers don't fight in ranks and formations anymore.

Every time this topic comes up I loathe statements like these. First of all why would anyone think Company of Heroes is a good substitute for a WWII TW style game, it has no diplomacy or grand strategy, nor massive engagements. Also, although "swords and arrows" make for good TW settings we're kind of spoiled for choice already.

Secondly I hate how people always assume that if they set a TW game in a WWII setting it means that they wouldn't revise the combat system at all and automatically jump to the conclusion that CA are so stuck in their ways that they would have you lining up tanks and soliders and smashing them into each other in open fields.

Obviously they would have to change the game up to make it work but still keep the epic scale, everyone needs to stop thinking Medieval with tanks instead of horses and machine guns instead of archers.

WWII is the only time the planet has been at Total War.

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]How long has Steam being going for? 5 years? how many times has it happened? The_Capitalist

There was a crash once in late 2006. The root authentication servers were offline due to storms in Seattle, which the cut power to those servers. Luckily, the service was out for only a few days. But during that time, I wasn't able to play my games because I couldn't log in.

I remember that! It was annoying because CSS was basically the only game I played back then...

But Steams library was really small back then so it wasn't as big of a deal as it would be now and after that they probably put in precautions for such an event.

I think they offer a preload depending on how many prepurchases they get.

They're not actually as expensive as I thought they were....

Is that Subaru the only car that has damage? And by damage I mean doors that open and drop off when it hits things.

Counter-Strike: Source but wait because they're about to give it a massive update which will most likely mean a sale.

For future reference when it comes to old games and modern resolutions, there's a website dedicated to this sort of the stuff.
