The detail is plentiful: location damage on vehicles, guard towers to be manned, defensive mines to be placed and barriers to be built. But it's not new, or interesting, and it grows repetitive. Harder difficulty levels require you pay more attention to your troops' ammo levels and utilise your squads' ability to set up mechanic and first-aid tents, but most fights are still won simply by having your tanks swarm everything as a pack.
It's a highly polished, occasionally satisfying, wholly unremarkable game set not in WWII, but in an imagined reality where it had a sequel. Not World War III, but WWII 2.
Nordc Games acquires rights to World War II RTS Codename Panzers.
They've been acquiring stuff non-stop these days. I'm happy to see them giving long-dormant series new life.
D2D is onto the fifth and final week of it's 5 Year Anniversary $5 Game Sale, this time giving several war titles the Lincoln treatment.

WOW! COH: Gold and World In Conflict: Gold for $10 is a STEAL! I already have the Original COH but none of the expansion packs so this is great!
Too bad D2D thinks the world is only USA, Canada, UK and Mexico. These region restrictions are an invite to piracy.
There's limitations and certifications you need to get to sell stuff in europe.
