If you have XBOX 360 this might be great fun:


Blazing angels

( I think I saw a PC version in a local shop but cannot be sure...)

Anyone played this?

 

Im looking forward for the new brothers in arms for the xbox 360 (which I own and I think its a great console).. The graphics blow your mind and the A.I. is amazing too. Takes place during operation market garden, where your the american troops taking on the germans. Bazookas, mgs and AA guns and more!

I own it, its a very good game but it lacks some reality at some points, Panzers have good AA capabilities.. whut o.o? And the missions seem un-realistic to, a norway level where you go through a huge ice? shelf? for like a half an hour and its pure ice(colored blue) and theres planes and AA guns and central base in the middle of this huge ice field. I guess its more for the action then the historical factors.. Good graphics but if you don't care about that theres also Secret Weapons Over Normandy, thats more realistic

Call of duty 3 should be out for XBOX 360 later this year (?)

Saw some great pics in a mag and they claim that in some operations the area used is as big as it was in Call of Duty 2 altogether in all operations. We´ll see!

 

I think its a bad decision to make COD 3 for Consoles only. It has a massive PC base group of players (look how popular COD MP is still) and it will be loosing fans by taking it to the Console. I for one wont be buying it. I prefer PC FPS for the most part.

 

Just got "Company of Heros", by THQ.
Still in the tutorials, but I do have the stragedy guide.
You better have a strong computer (RAM/Video Card)or it will sputter.
It looks like alot of fun though.

Anyone else try to download that free one ...Aces High II ?
I can't get it to play right, but the tracers and ammo supplies are real enough..(about 20-30 seconds).
You better be right on em, and make every shot count.
I was just wondering if there was a patch, or hint from someone like "Kim Kommando" to make it work better.

 

I saw the trailer of Brothers in Arms 3..very nice, a specially market garden.

 

can anyone tell me anything about 2 games called Desert Rats and Afrikan Korps?

 

Does anyone still use miniatures, i.e. non-computerized games?
