This kind of game is right up my alley, I love a good WW2 shooter as much as the next guy. However the steam software is obtrusive and a waste of time. It will take you up to three hours to simply download the patches and software to run this game. It gives you the option weather you want t download the Steam software, but if you say no it simply aborts the game install. I gave this game a 5 star fun review because it is realistic, with beautiful graphics and good unit detail. The unit selection is good, and it is fun to have to change out the machine gun barrells in the middle of a firefight. The overall game gets three stars because of the steam software that runs on your computer weather you like it or not. Don't expect to pop in the disk and be playing in a few minutes, it WILL take hours. Overall a fun game with an annoying attached program. Play with patience.

Very Disappointed

Get this game for the tank warfare. I have never had so much fun and frustration in my life. Play it online and see how hard it is to survive!

Can someone refer to this message???

Positives reviews are coming from RO forum fanboys, they are doing this game no favours, unless you are confident editing config files you will struggle to run game,there are still many bugs, if you have Zonealarm firewall forget it. the installer wont let you install on any drive but C, if you like FPS games you wont have much fun, its more like a sim with a massive learning curve, unless your going to spend all day trying to get some teamwork going your wasting your time.You need at least 19" monitor as anything smaller you wont stand a chance of seeing the enemy, theres only one type of gameplay (capture objective) Theres way too much artillery that kills you just as you spawn. Again if you like tactical realism try it, if you want a bit of fun give it a miss.

Think about it.

I enjoy first person shooters like DOD, CounterStrike, Battlefield. I got to tell you buying this game is a really bad idea. It so many bug in the game. People cheat: 1. you get a low weapon and they will get an semi auto with scope. When you get a sniper rifle (not many times) you'll get a bolt action with scope. 2. They hit your tank with one shot and your bullets bounce off their tank. 3. This game is so hack friendly. The characters move slow. I play it ever now and then if I want to drive a tank and shoot. I'm just giving you heads up more than anyone did for me. Really, buy a different game and save that money without the fustration of playing a half thought out game.
Note: I never really think a game is bad. This is my first review and I wrote this because the game is really bad.

yet another crappy game from steam (yay!)

this game was just a waste of money to me. i was hoping for a great ww2 game, and what do i get? first of all the system requirements are misleading. you need well above the minimum requirements to run this, and even then you might have some terribly long loading times. when i did get the game to run, what was i treated to? huge maps and a tank. oh boy, how wonderful! i remember this from a little game called call of duty: united offensive. the tanks were the worst part of that game, but the non-tank maps were incredible. lesson? driving around in tanks or jeeps is BORING. combat is FUN. simple enough? i didn't even see any combat in this game, just a bunch of people driving around! cod: uo already did this, and did it way better. never again will i buy a game from steam!!!

Almost the Real Thing

I spent 23 years in the Army, and this is as close as it comes to the real deal. Especially fun online. Extremely good physics for tank battles, I was a gunner and then TC and it's almost like sending the real stuff down range. You can coordinate your moves with teammates and use REAL strategy. Act like superman, and you'll be superdead. Not much room to hotdog, unless you want to well, hotdog. You'd better have a fast system and connection, or you'll be cussing when some schmuck you have dead to rights nails you. Plenty of new scenarios/battlefields added weekly to keep your interest. But be careful, it's highly addictive!

Mis-represented and bug-ridden

Caveat Emptor! the box, and indeed this website are misleading: this game is NOT designed for single player at all and there are no "campaigns" or storylines. What this game is is an ONLINE game (which are sad sad shadows of the skill involved in a quality single player game) that "offers" you the ability to "practice" by yourself - practicing is not the same as playing, as there is no effective single player mode. You won't find any mention of practicing until you open the box, whereupon all mention of single-player goes away to be replaced with "online game" and "off-line practice".

Apart from pretending it has a viable single-player mode when it doesn't, it's bug-ridden: freezes up, elements (like the sniper scope) don't work, drive a tank and you can't command it it move while you shoot, because you have to perform each function yourself (you're SUPPOSED to be able to tell the crew "go here" or "do that", but it doesn't work).

very disappointed. Waste of $30.

Excellent support

@ Reviewer "J_L_M":

Many of your gripes and others were fixed in the recent patches, including:
* ZoneAlarm / Valve issued their fix for the game.
* Loadng times have been greatly reduced due to a new file system structure included in the new patch.
* With regards to "Installer won't let you install on any drive but C" - I've installed Steam on two separate drives on two different occasions, neither of which were named "C". You must be doing something wrong.
* Artillery settings for each map have been tweaked. Also, with regards to this, the people who complain about excessive arty are usually the ones that run straight into it over ... and over ... and over again.

Also of note: The developers are extremely active in the community and are available on IRC or in the forums. Any issues are taken into account and dealt with as appropriate, as evidenced by the lengthy changelog for the recent patches.
