There's usually only one good way to play each level. Rocket launchers required to deal with most tanks are put in annoying places. There's often just not enough cover for what the gameplay requires to work properly. There's even a section where you don't have any teammates and you're supposed to get through two tanks that instantly kill you, with no cover for you to use to get through - you just have to hope that they bug out. The game often puts you in a situation where all of your avaliable options are bad and you're completely reliant on luck. Levels are way too big for the movement speed of the characters and there's tons of unskippable narration and in-game cutscenes, so replaying/retrying anything is a pain.Įnemies spawn in unfair places at unfair times, which results in having to retry the section because of how easily you and your teammates die. Considering that the player has exactly 2 ways of dealing with threats - pin&flank or send the tank - you'd think making levels to fit the gameplay would be very easy, but they completely fucked it up. There are two issues that really bring the game down though: The games is also pretty good visually at and the visuals aren't cluttered - you always know what you're looking at and it normally looks good or at least okay.
It's limted (teammates only vaguely follow your orders and don't do it quickly enough for anything but these most basic tactics to be useful) and a bit clunky since there's no working top-down/tactical view where you could actually look around and give orders, but it kinda works. Later on you get a tank that can wreck house by itself, but you have to get rid of any tanks and anti-tank weapons on the enemy side first to use it. Tell your teammates to pin down an enemy and flank the enemy. They're pretty inaccurate, but the time to kill is low, there's ADS (in a 2005 game) and they're at least believable in context (where Battlefield 1 dissapoints, for example). What I did not expect was good sounding, decent feeling guns. All I knew going in was that there would be a squad tactics element and what the setting is - no reviews, no gameplay videos.
