pedro111 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Quaggy mate, if you are looking for something along the lines of Red Alert then look no further than Company of Heroes. Its a WW2 RTS with great destructible environments. A fantasic game that even I can get great graphics on my shitty system. Also get the sequel "COH - Tales of Valor" where you can play as the British. Awesome game, if you want to play online though I would recommend reading a few guides first as the online community is rather ruthless ! I think there is another expansion pack due out this month. They are also making an entirely new version aswell I believe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 New expansion is the bane of my bandwidth, fucking steam and its lets redownload the whole game instead of just the patch. Tales of Valor is just single player stuff, so i'm not going to bother with it. If they make COH 2 they better not destroy it like they did with Dawn of War 2.

Clay Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I just got a Mafia game, however it's not the one i wanted/remembered. This one doesn't work and when i went to find a solution it showed pictures of the game being in 3D.. Can anyone remember the game i'm thinking of? It had an overhead camera Had to point and click to move stuff Kind of similar to Commandos in Gfx etc.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tales of Valor is just single player stuff, so i'm not going to bother with it. If they make COH 2 they better not destroy it like they did with Dawn of War 2. tbh I dont play online, SP is what I like best. Tales Of Valor is good, like I say you can play as the British and the Germans too which is refreshing. If they make COH2 it should definately be set in the Eastern Front. No doubts about it. The community are constantly harping on for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Mafia wars? Just searched for that and it looks similar, i'm sure the game i was thinking of looked a bit better than that though, i dunno.. this was about 6 years ago so my memory of it is a bit sketchy.

If they made them realistic they would be cheap and totally over powered, each squad would have about 15 guys in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Anyone played War Rock? Seems pretty good for a free online FPS.. Only had a few games so far and had a quality match sniping in some big desert, you really have to lead your bullets aswell. Quite a few vehicles on the go aswell like planes etc.. Also does anyone play any of the following Warcraft 3/Frozen Throne CIV IV Red Alert 2 Online? Using battlelan/hamachi to play them at the moment as i haven't got around to buying the proper games yet so if anyone fancys a game let me know. Oh and steam name is the same as my gamertag.. ClAyPoOl1985 for CS 1.6 games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClAyPoOl1985 for CS 1.6 games. Man Civ4 mp is insane. Most fun MP experience I've ever had, all the backstabbing that goes on is mind boggling! Only problem being that it takes a ridiculously long time to finish a game, still well worth it imo. You should try the Civ board-game sometime, me and my friends used to play it quite often, really fun. I only play the custom maps in WC3, dota ftw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On board is your problem. You can get cheap cards like a 9800gt that would run that no problem. http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/1GB-Palit-9800GT-Superplus-PCI-E-20-(x16)-Mem-1800MHz-GDDR3-GPU-600MHz-112-Cores-2x-DL-DVI-HDTV Also you would have to check your power supply, but gt isnt a power hungry card, so that should be cush.

Clay Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Just improved my graphics and i'm currently looking through steam (Best part of an hour) to try and find something to buy. Came across this pack for £26.99 Company of Heroes/Opposing fronts and Dawn of War gold edition/Dark crusade? Is it worth it? Honestly can't decide what to buy, added and removed about 50 different games/bundles to my basket now Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
