excellent game for strategy and action. Ideal for arm chair Generals.

This is a great game for people who like to plan attacks on enemy encampments, clear fields of enemy soldiers and equipment, escort armor through cities, enact covert ops to destroy enemy capabilities and to simply go out into the field and eliminate bad guys. You can either plan out the missions two teams from start to finish, or you can run through blasting away and giving orders as you go. the options of weapons is good, but you have to stick with the predetermined packages. for example, you can't give a sniper anti-tank weapons as well as his sniper rifle, you have to use a support guy for that. Only demolitions guys will get satchel charges. But that works out any way, at any time you can switch control to which ever character you like. The planning mode is easily controlled, the only flaw is not so much the games fault, when the action gets good, there usually isn't enough time to go in and properly alter the plans. It can be done with the R3 button, quickly relocate the other team, only, team one has to be able to visualy see the location to place team two. (you have to play it to get it). The only thing I wish the game did better is the AI. if the enemy planned it's defenses better and if it reacted a little more intelligently to attacks, all would be perfect. When you attack the two or three guys defending a communication tower, they don't call for reinforcements, they don't try to flank you, they just take some cover, and return fire. If you take out one guy with a sniper shot, and he has an buddy standing 10 feet away, the buddy doesn't duck and cover when he sees his partners head blown off. That, I find is not very realistic and somewhat troublesome while playing the game, it can feel too easy. yet on the other hand, enemy armor can at times seem too complicated. so the game rounds itself out nicely.
