And when i mean any, I'm serious, you can capture enemy artillery the germs might have the legendary 88mm FLAK AA guns, but what if they were to suddenly get into your hands? Even some theoretical ones, i.e the Maus heavy tank and by doing so, it really opens the doors for myriad strategies. As i will explain, this game has a hell of alot of potential for Multiplayer, except in the case of one attribute: micromanagement.Īny piece of armor you ever dreamt about controlling from WW2, and some depricated shit from ww1, is in this game. I heard the first one also has mp support, but i cant verify how it was. The invincible/invisible sniper/scout from Burning Horizon is now at the mercy of infantry, one shot from his springfield, and infantry will swarm on him this is compared to being able to wipe out a whole artillery battery so i could capture it with a halftrack full of infantry.Īpparently the multiplayer is also alot better, which is a step up from the non-existant MP in Burning Horizon although it lacks the in-game browser that seems standard now. Theres a new element in this game from the previous games, if you complete bonus missions, you get awarded with new Core units for instance: you kill all the Vicci officers before they get in thier tanks, you're awarded with a self-propelled howitzer for a core unit. At the begining you're given some M3 Stuart light tanks (shit), but once the upgrades are availible, you can make them into Slugger AT guns or Sherman tanks. Core units recieve experience points, and are upgradable and unlike infantry or stewert light tanks, unexpendable especially when you have a level 4 unit that's in a Sherman jumbo tank. There is a slight RPG element in the form of Core Units.
if high command thinks you're doing a good job, they might even hook you up with some much needed reinforcements. ore you got a tank division, some infantry to scout out enemy positions, supply trucks, and if you're lucky, some good artillery. There are no factories that pump out units, theres no ore trucks harvesting. The blitzkrieg series is, by far, the most realistic ww2 RTS out there. It uses the same engine with very minor updates, (i swear it promoted "US in winter-gear!" as a new feature) and in a sense is not much more than an expansion pack in the guise of a full game. Blitzkrieg (i didnt play),Īnd Blitzkrieg: burning horizon. This is the third in the blitzkrieg series. Hey, i'm at work, and if my boss comes across this sentance, I will probably be castrated, but alas, i gotta give a disclaimer for my shitty grammar, or massive inarticulation/incoherence.
