by Chuck “Magnum” Ankenbauer Purpose The purpose of this short guide is to give all players basic tactical information in reference to playing Battlefield 3. This is not a “set in stone” guide, nor is it some type of platoon SOP. It is just a little guide to get the most out of the game […]
Back To Page 4 Conclusion Tripwire has the potential for a great game here. If they support it like they did with the first one we should have one hell-of a gritty, realistic, tactical first person shooter before long. As of right now, we have got an incomplete game, a beta in my opinion. […]
Back To Page 3 Multiplayer Multiplayer is really where Red Orchestra 2 shines. Three different modes of play and a number of maps for each mode make it different and enjoyable.

Back To Page 1 Graphics and Sounds I’m torn with the graphics; on the one hand the maps and the battlefield look incredible, usually dirty, gritty, and very WW2 battle worn.

First off is the setup of the game.There are five settings, essentially from silly easy to almost impossible for those that want a real challenge. […]
by Tom “WKLINK” Cofield Introduction I have a confession to make. I had a 3.3 GPA in my junior year of college. It would have been a 3.6 or higher if it hadn’t been for the time wasted with a title from SSI called Panzer General. I must have blown at least 1-2 hours a day during that year […]
Back To Page 2 Conclusion Theater of War gets better and better with time, learning, and development. ToW3: Korea is no exception. A new location and a new time era give the series new life. Improvements to the AI and game play in general keep the games frustrations to a minimum. The maps are absolutely beautiful and […]
Back To Page 1 Mission Generator and Campaign Generator The game comes with both a detailed campaign generator, where you pick the sides, forces, weapon systems, support and area. It is well done and easy to use for those inclined. The more popular mission generator lets you pick the type of battle you want, […]
