Screenshots from Theatre of War

I picked up the full version yesterday, after spending some time with the demo. Great game for sure, and here are a few screenshots I've taken:

Thanks HunterICX. The more I play this game, the more enjoyable it becomes.

Wow, looks pretty sweet... :o

What's it like, close combat 3d or something?

It's like Battlefront's excellent Combat Mission series, but in real time. Similar to CoH, though it's more gritty and leans towards more realism than arcadey gameplay. ToW employs realistic shell ballistics, armor penetration calculations, damage effects in addition to destructible environments, trenches and fortifications. I'm typically not a fan of RTS, as most end up being a key mashing click fest, though ToW seems to have really struck a nice balance. Really enjoying it anyway.

Ah goodie, need to get this one then. I love Combat Missions, but Close Combat series has the spot in my heart so this sounds really good. ;)

it looks like a copy of "soldiers: heroes of world war 2" or "faces of war" :-?

What about the mission editor? Is it user-friendly, quick and dirty like OFP? What can you do with it?

This thing needs to be modded to hell to include more vehicles, weapons and scenarios (desert, ice, mud), merged with Faces of War for urban and infantry combat and then used as a Tactical Battle Resolver for Hearts of Iron 2: Doomsday: Armageddon.

Peh, these games for kids. ToW is much more realistic.

I completely forgot that this was out! :p

What is your honist opinion on the game Flintlock? are the graphics and gameplay up to par?

[Safe-Keeper]

How similar is this game to Ground Control and Sudden Strike?

And no, I didn't like Heroes of World War II either. I prefer the first two X-Com games by far. If you want to make games with squad-sized action, turn-based is the only way to go.

Blasfemy!

It looks alright, to much a battle based RTS though, plus the fact that ground war-fare in WWII is not my favorite... so I'm not geting it... :p
