Medal Of Honor: Airborne - The battle engagements just barely were better than COD2

COD2 - Great single player with a mulit to boot

I didn't really like Company of Heroes. It was an RTS that does give you the pace of a battle scene from an FPS. If I wanted to go from the top, I would just play commander in BF1942.

BF1942 didn't have a commander. That came along in BF2.


What makes Company of Heroes so great to me is the amount of detail involved. The way you can direct your armor and the fact that you have to point them certain directions or a shot to the rear kills it. Just one small detail to a great game.

Checkout combat mission if you like detail. They take into account armor penetration values for specific guns and shells and armor slope, thickness, and quality of the metal.
It isnt a rts though. It is a turn based game but very very very well done. It will make you thnk twice about German tank superiority at typical engagement ranges. I have taken out tigers and jagdpanthers from the side\rear at 500 meters and knocked out tigers at 1100 meters with the firefly. Disabled and swamred king tigers with infantry. Great series imo.

COD:United Offensive. The only good COD in the entire series, especially when you consider the multipler game type Base Assault.

Company of Heroes/OF VERY AWESOME GAME TO THIS DAY

Since I happened to love Commandos 2: Men of Courage I have re-played the missions many times! I wonder if there's another game like this one out there?

I also liked COD but UO definitely took it up a notch.

Soldiers: Heroes of WWII looks very good, thanks for letting me know! I'll definitely see if I can get it where I stay.
