 Great game July 19, 2008
I have played through this game 3 times. It has yet to get stale. I can't say enough for the detail and care that was taken making this game. Not for the micromanager. It is a slimmed down RTS, that pretty much takes care of all the army building for you. You are given troops and objectives, but that is pretty much it. What you are left with is the strategy, and it plays very well. Each unit has specialites, strengths and weaknesses. The idea of building 80 tanks and charging the enemys base has been eliminated. You really have to adjust your tactics and fighting style to make the most of your units attributes. Everything has been polished in this game. If you have a decent computer, you can turn up the effects and watch some amazing cutscenes. I love this game.
A Great Game July 14, 2008
i just recently bought this game and after playing it on Easy i can tell you this game is definately worth the buy. This game deals with the mother of what if Scenarios(what if the USSR didnt have a coup and communisim didn't go into that good or evil night). The game takes you to different parts of the globe and has you dealing with different people. From a great general to a tank commander who doesn't like you. This game has it all story and all. However, it aint perfect first off if you are a graphics person then i suggest you get the recommend requirement as if you use the min requirements the graphics are ok not great but other than that this game rules to the extreme. Here hoping they come out with a sequel or an exspansion pack soon.
Great game. July 8, 2008
This game has got to be the best strategy game I have ever played. I love how there is a system where you have no recourse gathering or buildings to build, just units and just blowing stuff up. I was in the Endwar private beta and that game is played in a similar way (just units, now worrying about bases etc.) and someone directed me towards this game. I cant recommend it enough if most strategy games frustrate you because of all the buildings you gotta build and stuff you gotta collect. If your not sure about this game, try the demo, a quick Google search can find it.
 Massive is back, and much better than Ground Control 2. July 8, 2008
I really enjoyed playing a RTS without base building. This game is more oriented towards unit based tactics and less resource gathering strategy.
The best parts of the game are the graphics and and use of tactical aid to call in tons of off map aid. This includes napalm, airborne rangers, chemical strikes, bombing runs, artillery and the always deadly tactical nuke. Another perk is that the units can display their designated range by pressing the ALT key while selected. This shows if a unit is unable to fire do to an obstacle in the way or a slight elevation in the ground. This is important because the map is completely destructible and the land will be covered in craters.
The bad parts of the game is there are only two type of objectives in the game, destroy a designated unit(s) or occupy small circles on the map. The occcupation of the victory points are kinda lame because they have no cover to them so units like infantry can just be smashed by a tank rolling up. The multiplayer is good and it forces team play by forcing each player to choose a certain type of commander. The choices are Armor, Air, Support, and Infantry. All are good by themselves if used properly, but when combined with another during team play they are a force multiplier. In all, it is still a good game, but I would give it a 7/10 instead of the 4/5 or 3/5.
Just BUY It, PERIOD! July 4, 2008

As an OLD Guy turning 60, I am still playing this damned thing after 1 year. Just can't get enough of this. If you ever get tired of the main game? Play online for NEVER ending fun & "new" excitement.
