First thing is though, It was like a "source" conversion of COD (Not UO). Nothing we havnt seen or used before. This leads me to to believe they are going to release some uber expansion pack with loads of new goodies (Such as UO did).
The health system, I love it, Stops all that searching for medi packs or re-loading. Keeps the game going real smooth.
Nades, Historicly, the British nade AKA "Mills Bomb", Detonated on contact with anything and had no fuse for "cooking". But of course the americans should be cookable.
Disapointed a bit with the Russian missions. Not that feel off "Wowzers this is maddness".
People also have bitched on the tank battle. Heres something that really got me. First, It just says "Crusader", There where lots of Crusaders varients. From the Crusier 1 to the Crusaders 3(A13 to A15). The main diffrence was;
Cruiser Mk1(A13 Series): Thin amour, 2pdr Main Cannon. Useless against most germans tanks past 1940.A pre-runner of the Crusader Series.
PIC:
Crusader 2(A15): Faster,More amoured version of the Crusader 1, Same 2pdr gun again with poor tank killing ablities.
PIC:
Crusader 3:Faster again and more amoured, but this time it spotted a 6pdr Cannon which was more than effective against most tanks 1940-43.
My belief is the Crusader we have in game is the Crusader 3 mainly because it was ready by May 1942 and first saw action in the First Battle of El Alamein.
PIC:
Notice the diffrent cannon.
With this in mind,I present the german tank; It is a Panzer II (C varient I believe)
PIC:
This tank had very poor amour and its Cannon was only 20mm (2pdr is 40mm) and unless at VERY close ranges had no effect against even the Crusier A13. A good tank to choose for the krauts would of been the PzKpfw IIIH, Which had better amour,a big nice gun that would be suited well to the A15(Crusader 3) the British have in game. Also, The Shermans having no effect on the tiger. ....Bollocks, At that close range it would of made some damage. Yes it was a big scary machine but it wasnt unkill-able.
Sgt Yanky: "Oh noes its teh tigger!"
Pvt Vowelsy: "NevA fear!Watch this"
*KABOOM*
By the way, I hated the lack of Anti Tank guns, Such as the one above, which was a 17pdr BEF Field Anti Tank gun.
Anyways, Loved the game look forward to the game in 30mins! YAHOHOOO
.
. I just finished a pretty mundane American mission, genuinely thinking 'I wonder how they're going to put a bit of variety into this'. Then it ended.
