WHAT WW2 GAMES do you play?

i enjoy ww2 sim games but my video card stinks; at some point ill put out the money for a new one but not rite away.

i own ww2 online, microsoft combat sim 1 and 2,

and moh the new one for the PC. CANT USE the last one its killing me. not enough memery in my video card.

 

WW2 Online had so much promise...but i didn't enjoy it...my video card sucks and made it no fun. I finally found someone else who shelled out almost $50 for the MOH pc game only to find out they can't play it. I know how you feel. Im waiting for Battlefield 1942 for Xbox which goes above and beyond WW2 online..check it out. Im also waiting for MOHAA for Xbox as well...those are my two reasons for buying an Xbox.

 

Combat Mission is probably the best game out there. The sequel in coming out this November, I can't wait.

Not the best game but some fun is Sudden Strike. It is not realistic at all, but I love sending all those little men into battle.

I never tried WWIIOnline, I just couldn't get past the bugs.

 

I've had Close Combat 2 and 3 for a while and just got hold of 5. I also just descoverd the joys of Combat Mision and i love it. Can't wait for number 2, and for Stratgic Command.

 

I've only just got my computer, so I'm just not into games like most of you guys ...

But I did buy a 'joystick' and have loads of fun with Empire's 'Battle of Britain' simulator ( cheap, too ! ).
And after much hunting on the net I've bought a secondhand copy of the old 'Battleground : Ardennes '44' for under ten pounds.
OK, OK - I know it's 'old hat' but if it's about the Bulge - I gotta have it.....

 

Close Combat II A Bridge Too Far and Close Combat III Russian Front. Is there a five or have I mixed up my numbers?

 

There s a four and five. Four is Battle of the Bulge, and five is Normandy. They were unavailable for some time, but then i see both on Amazon. Five is nothing special. Has a new look but he basics are the same as two. Just a different scenario.

 

Call me a throwback, but I still love Panzer General II, especially with all the add-ons and downloads available. New life has been breathed into an old game.

I also enjoy Combat Mission as well, but PGII is still my all time favorite.

 

Welcome to the forum 9th. What kind of add-ons are there for PGII? Thanks.

 

I do not have many WWII gaming, except that I played both MoH on Playstation. I finished the first one but could never pass the second (bloody dogs, robots and knights... that was not reallistic!) I have Combat Flight Simulator I but I have got any jostick... I crash too often with the keyboard... and I had Close Combat III, the Eastern front. I loved that game! I finished everything except that I could never win Stalingrad part III, nor Berlin... But somebody stole that game!

And my own computer is an iBook, so I do not have games... I know there are few and expensive Machintosh games, hard to get... Damned PC culture!

 

Thanks for the welcome, glad to be here.

The best place for downloads, new scenarios and new campaigns for PGII is here:

I am totally amazed by the level of dedication and time spent to create these things.

 

The only games I have played are: Eastern Front by Talonsoft and Sid Meiers Gettysburg computer games--I like both alot.

 

I used to play 'Sudden Strike' and SSF, until I got fed up with M5A1s brewing up my Tiger tanks...

Since then I have become a great convert to Combat Mission, and am looking forward to the Eastern Front version coming out later this year.

 

Is that the Combat Mission 2 thats out in Nov

 

The game sucked at that point...c'mon now, walking dogs with rifles? Motorcycle driving zombies? Although the knights were fun when you had the BAR out and aimed for the mouth... Anyway, I thought I was like the only kid in the world with Sudden Strike and SSF....everytime I would look for an online game, I couldn't find one. Any of you still play? Do alot of people still play it?

 

But I like all the other stages very much. And I love to play Multiplayer with MoH1 and choosing Churchill...

 

Ahhh! Some fellow Close Combat III fans! That game is by far teh BEST real-time startegy game ever. Any of you guys get into modifying the data files and campaigns at all?
I have one version of the game where the whole 15-operation (or so..) campaign uses all units from 42-43.
great stuff...

Well, it does have that strategic map where you can move your divisions around, instead of the linear thing. That's my only problem with part III

Oh, Friedrich. You own a mac. I'm sorry.
(sorry to any mac users- I work in publishing and am forced to use a mac. let's just say I'm not a fan...)

 

well im waiting to i get moh working on my pc but ww2 online is the best and most realistic ww2 online sim game i have played.

best explanation ive seen about this is written here.

fredriek i have a extra controler i could send you but the cost of shipping im sure would be outrageous. we could take our war to the screen lol. would be fun.

anytime you want to fly fredreick let me know ill be glad to play as a team with you or we could go against each other.

 

My current favorite is Combat Mission.
I also play WW2 Fighters and I will be getting Strategic Command, because I played the demo and I am thrilled with it. I had West Front and Panzer General 3D, both were decent.
