Frosty Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 i recently picked this up on steam because I've always wanted to play it having enjoyed the first so thoroughly i'm having a great time but i'm wondering if there is anyone around anywhere that plays it besides me. i cant convince any of my friends to get it is there anyone here that has it and would play co-op? http://store.steampowered.com/app/4530/ its really hard to put into words but it kind goes like a third person RTS tactical squad based puzzle :huh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"
TomOnSteam Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 It's nice old game - however I believe that since the gamespy servers have been shutdown there is no way to play it multplayer anymore (as far as I know). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cockpit Spectator Mode
Frosty Posted November 9, 2015 Author Posted November 9, 2015 Maybe there is still direct connect. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If the MWS didn't see it. it never happened"

dooom Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 lol... i posted about this game in 2013 as I used to play it on XBOX a long time ago and loved it.... I always thought their approach to squad mechanics would work well for a sim like DCS... we do not need a first person shooter as that will always be done better elsewhere than can be achieved in this sim... the squad approach; however.... I think that might work. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=109955&highlight=full+spectrum+warrior ASUS Tuf Gaming Pro x570 / AMD Ryzen 7 5800X @ 3.8 / XFX Radeon 6900 XT / 64 GB DDR4 3200 "This was not in the Manual I did not read", cried the Noob" - BMBM, WWIIOL

Bushmanni Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 FSW has interesting concept but it's actually a puzzle game and not a tactical squad leader simulation like it promises to be. You can't succeed in the game with realistic tactics but have to figure out the trick to solving the "tactical" puzzle. Apparently the military version (haven't played it myself) that comes with Xbox version doesn't have the puzzle game BS in it but PC version sadly doesn't come with it. But as a concept FSW is very interesting and I hope someone would make a proper squad leader simulation.

QuiGon Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) I played the first FSW 10 years ago and it was good fun, but like Bushmanni said it was more like a puzzle than a real tactical simulation. I tried FSW:TH a couple of years later but couldn't really get into. For platoon to bataillon level I can really recommend the Combat Mission series, especially it's newest title "Combat Mission: Black Sea" which takes place in a modern Ukraine scenario (development on this game had been started before the actual real life crisis broke out). It's a highly detailed and realistic simulation of (modern) ground warfare.
