Just got it today, ive gotten roughly 4 hours to play it. Im in the middle of D +2. D +2, basically means two days after d-day. The game takes place over the course of 8 days. Ill get to some of the highlights, first the presentation is amazing. The introduction to the game is amazing, ill try not to spoil the intro. The best part is unlike Call of Duty the D-Day drop is actually fleshed out.
Skip the next section if you dont want to see any spoilers.
Code:
............................................................................................Landing in a tree with no weapon you spend the first hours of June 6th gathering mixed units and destroying various flak and gun implacements with a K98 and a Colt 45.
The in-game squad controlls are very simple, for example. I was easily able to sneak around with my fireteam and suppress a gun crew, while my light tank came down the main road .30 cals and its main turret blasting away. These gun implacements normally spell death for tanks, but since I had them well suppressed it allowed the tank to rip into them. If you navigate terrain properly you can create many of these cool moments.
I havent had a chance to try Multiplayer since the campaign has sucked up all of my time. Gamespy and IGN have already published their reviews and both have gotten Editor's Choice awards. Gamespy even gave the game a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. If you even have the slightest interest in World War II, you owe it to yourself to buy this game immediatley.
