Shame. Those idiots in their white-on-black counter hats are a FPS sniper's dream.
Game comes out this Friday. 29.99 on Gamersgate.
Very favorable preview, especially on the tank combat:

East Front 1944.
Where there even any operable Stukas left on the EF in 1944, let alone 3 flying in formation on such a pretty day?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ju-87#Second_World_War
QuoteTowards the end of the war, as the Allies gained air supremacy, the Stuka was being replaced by ground-attack versions of the Fw 190.[30] By early 1944, the number of Ju 87 units and operational aircraft terminally declined. For the Soviet summer offensive, Operation Bagration, 12 Ju 87 Gruppen and five mixed Gruppen (including Fw 190s) were on the Luftwaffe's order of battle on 26 June 1944.[152]Gefechtsverband Kuhlmey, a mixed aircraft unit, which included large numbers of Stuka dive bombers, was rushed to the Finnish front in the summer of 1944 and was instrumental in halting the Soviet fourth strategic offensive. The unit claimed 200 Soviet tanks and 150 Soviet aircraft destroyed for 41 losses.[153] By this juncture, the Luftwaffe continued to resist Soviet air attacks but it had little impact on the ground war.
By 31 January 1945, only 104 Ju 87s remained operational with their units. The other mixed Schlacht units contained a further 70 Ju 87s and Fw 190s between them. Chronic fuel shortages kept the Stukas grounded and sorties decreased until the end of the war in May 1945.[154]
I can always count on you, Syt. You filthy Hun.
:P
Anyways, I'm kinda surprised by the lack of interest in this game on here.
Gotta see more coverage and reviews about it before I pull the trigger. Honestly, looks like zoomed-in CM:BB by those pics.
ARMA II seems to be one of those rare games where the mods are better then the original stuff. I have ARMA II but I never finished it as I kinda went into a funk after it came out. The series has come a long way since the hideous but addictive Operation: Flashpoint.

From my response, you tell me.
Magic 8-ball says: No.

The wargamers don't want to play soldiers, they want to play commander.

I just did.
Sorry, bro...the reviewer lost me when he said the most realistic WW2 shooter he had played before was WW2 Online. :lmfao:
So tell me where this does anything that Red Orchestra
doesn't do?
Looks pretty, but nothing really jumps out and grabs me.
WWII is not a very fair fight as it is and having it be 1944 on makes it even more so.

He specifically referenced to how tanks were modelled. :rolleyes:
(Though I've never played WW2O and have no idea how its tank models stack up against, say, Panzer Elite, or the newer stuff from those Ukrainian dudes).
You tards should check out WW2ol, I quit playing it 2 years ago but how they've transformed it is actually very well done.
For instance the tanks and crew take damage to modules and the members based on how and where the rounds hit the tank, and it has a very detailed physics model. Actually calculates the rounds hitting, including spool damage, and where and what they go through/where they stop.
So your uninformed cool guy hate from 2001 is cool. :bowler:
Looking at some (p)reviews for Iron Front, the general feeling seems to be that it's a fantastic total conversion that is completely destroyed by hopeless AI.

I played it about 10 years ago. Found it dull. I played a tank that constantly grinded it's gears, and an infantry man that fell off a truck.

I sort of got bored of ww2 games a few years ago. I think HOI 3 sort of did it for me.

HOI 3 was pretty dull.
I wish they'd revamp Battlefield 1942 with the new engine. Now that would be something.
Can you play as NKVD and shoot retreating deserting Russians with machine guns?

Goddammit this needs to happen.
