Oh yeah and that portal thing is really annoying. I've been waiting for DLC or at least really good custom content for months

Yeah, I remember them. Fun, funny games.

Actually there's a lot of ideas there which are amazing and I've no idea why nobody followed that - ammunition types (in 1 it's absolutely overkill, later in the game standard ammunition is basically obsolete because you have tons of the special ones

in 2 it's more balanced), searching bodies, the whole very simple but great experience (actually it's called "skill points" but anyway) system, and such a simple but great idea that the Use key when there's nothing to use = reload.

I feel they're getting old really, really slowly. Especially 2, if they slightly updated the graphics the game wouldn't be out of place at all released in 2011 imo.

Valve makes great games, but goddamn do they ever break...not quite promises, but publicated statements.

From what I've heard, a really awesome, though bugged, RPG.

It's made by Obsidian, so expect a shit ton of bugs!

I'm finding that I have less and less time for video games these days and I don't even have a job right now.

Yesterday was the first time in ages where I just sat down and played a video game that wasn't TF2. When I play TF2, it's usually only for about 15/20 minutes a day.

antigoon · « **Reply #58 on:** September 23, 2011, 01:07:10 PM »

My gaming habits have definitely changed. I used to play games like SOCOM and Halo 2 online literally all day err' day. I was having regular clan matches on Gamebattles at the ripe age of 13

I play when I can nowadays. Which is not too infrequently...just can't dedicate my being to getting good at a game anymore.

Nice. It's a great game, just the multiplayer balance is... not so great (Wehrmacht has everything 2x better for no apparent reason). However, the single player campaign is AWESOME. The big American campaign and the slightly shorter British and Panzer Elite ones are excellent, and the three short ones are nice too.

I don't see how am I doing it wrong when they have:
a) superior infantry (MP40 giving 7 anti-infantry damage for just 50 ammo per unit, fuck yeah, not to mention stuff like mass grenades and everything)
b) superior tanks (a Panther is worth two Shermans or something like that)
c) 2x stronger MG units which are often key
d) Ostwind Flakpanzer, this unit is the worst fucking idea I've ever seen, it WRECKS infantry in mass amounts, and... costs 1/3 less than Sherman Crocodile which is far weaker.

I really thought I'm just biased at first but... I'm talking about Wehrmacht, Panzer Elite is fine.
