I was in Target over the weekend and it was on sale for $13.98. Could not resist

I will look into the game Stabiz recommends also

Men of war is nice, but it has the crappiest voice acting EVER. Also, you have to command billion troops... no, sheppard them, as they tend to either be on the wrong side of the cover or just running in the open while an enemy tanks is mowing them down.

Tho, if you like a more realistic take on things + micro-micro-micro managing your troops, it's definitely for you.

Yeah, I have heard these voices in a review. They are pretty bad

Yes, the voice acting is hilariously bad, but its only in the cut scenes so I really couldnt care less.

If they talked like that ingame it would be annoying though.

Sorry for the hijack, btw.

I used to really hate it, but i've gotten better at RTS games over the years so i'm better at the kinds of super-micro the game calls for. In good Relic fashion the single player is worthless and skirmish AI cheats. (You can literally watch it crap out Stormtrooper squads one after the other. They also just happen to know where your units are on the map at any given time.)

It annoys me that like all good MP titles the gameplay has more or less been broken down by the numbers by all of the old players. It's still possible to play with people who aren't power-tripping morons. Like all MP titles though your mileage will vary based on the people you know.

Oh, and Panzer IV FTW. Powerful, efficient, affordable, and not wanktastic.

No you dont need the original game for Opposing fronts or Tales of Valor they are completely stand alone add-ons but if you have all three you can play all the different factions in multiplayer
