It's a squad shooter so you get to control your squad. Theres two fire teams, the assault team and the supression team. One you use to pin the enemy down, the other to flank and eliminate them. Enemies will also flank if your too passive. Oh, and you get killed real quick like in Rainbow Six Headshot is often fatal.
You can carry only 2 weapons, like Halo. You can have a tank in your squad, which you control in the same way as your soldiers, also you can 'mount' the tank and fire the machine gun on top and still direct orders.
The people in the game are ACTUAL soldiers that fought in WWII and who are in the war records, decorated with multiple medals and all the likes. You play missions that actual did happen and occur the way you wil play. All is modeled and built from real life satelite photo's from the 1940's.
Oops, sorry about the switch up of Nationalities!
It seems Squad-Based shooting is the in thing. How did it seem to control on the Xbox version you played? That's pretty much always the big difference between Console and PC versions. The team-based Multiplayer isn't bad, but Co-op can make a huge difference (at least to me) Hopefully, they find time to throw that in on the Xbox version.
Very similar to Halo and other shooters. The interface for squad commands was mega simple and easy to get a hang of. You press the right trigger the pointer appears, you select the squad you want to go there with black or white buttong, release trigger and they will go there and act on their own. Context sensitive. Point it on enemy, they will attack, point it to cover, they will go in cover. Gather all men or one team one you with the d-pad pressing up. Select teams with right or left. Easy peasy. Good control system I'm sure they will streamline it some though.SyNapSe said:Oops, sorry about the switch up of Nationalities!

How was the framerate on the Xbox?
And what's with the Gearbox hate? I only played the Halo PC demo, so I don't really know what went wrong with that one... Gearbox has done some pretty ordinary work over the years (James Bond 007: NightFire PC port, Half-Life: Blue Shift was ok, but a bit short), but the THPS3 PC port was the best PC port for the franchise to date, their work with the Half-Life expansions showed a lot of promise.
Now they're out from under the restrictive pressure of ports, I think a well resourced and experienced team like Gearbox has a lot of potential.

Thanks for the impressions. The game modes sound a little bit different from the usual, and I'm happy to hear that there are some strategic elements with troop control. It should hopefully add some variety to the game.

There's a ton of stuff left to do for WW2 based games IMO. Id love to see a WW2 game like Commandos, but in 3rd person .

Games based on WW2 will probably be made until the end of time, or until we have the technology to actually simulate the whole thing.
Get over it.
It's one of the most fascinating pieces of modern history, and you should be waking up every fuckin morning thanking the sweet lord that people your age died so you could bitch about WW2 games.
