I loved CMBB and CMAK, so i know the quality of BATTLEFRONT products concerning realistic gameplay. I never played IL2 ( cant make the damn things take off in flight simulators, but for what i heard is one of the best flight simulators around. So it looks a good balance between two teams. I still play combat mission, but its completely outdated. TOW will be quite refreshing. Just give 1c company some credit guys, they are not rookies, and whith battlefront direction i hope the game will be the very different from the russian version, and by the changes made it will. And i also believe the graphiks are not the most important thing in this kind of game. Company of Heroes is a beuty, but i dont like the game. Combat Mission is outdated and i still play it. I will play the next combat mission instalments but when playing ToW i will try not to make comparisons and enjoy the game as it is. My commentary about ic company and IL2 was to refer they are still making add ons for a game released in 2001, that is a good thing, i hope they whill do the same to ToW 5 years from now. eheh

Spetsnaz, i think your specs are well over the minimum requirements of the game.I bet it will run fine. I have a AMD with a 2,2 ghz clock speed, a geforce 6600 and 2 gb of ram,and i bet the game will run fine at a decent resolution and frame rate.

I dont think ToW is an apettizer for CMSF. 1C company had plenty of success whith IL2 series, and continue to support the product years after its first release. Furthermore i believe IL2 has sold more copies than the CM series. And i dont think the developer teams of ToW and CM-SF are working togheter, so the products will be radically diferent. I dont think i can make judgements on a game gameplay or ambient sound by watching a video. For what i saw in previews around the web,and by the quality of previous works of 1C and battlefront i believe ToW will be for me the mother of all strategy games. I got my pre-order, now it is wait and see, but i am confident. :cool:

That is probably the first MOD for ToW

Comparing Theatre of War whith a FPS like Call of Duty or a eye candy point and click slaughter festival like Company of Heroes is absurd. I have not played a cool realistic wargame since panzer general series and Close Combat series. Please let 1c company and Battlefront give us something more serious. I played plenty of strategy games these years, i liked the Medieval and rome tothal war series, they are good, supreme commander, nice for multilayer. And i am kind of bored by games like CoH or the new comand and conquer. They are pretty, but realistic, no way. But none of these titles is in ToW gameplay genre. And i dont think graphics in ToW are worst than Warcraft 3, the unit textures and some effects (like the water) are very nice. Maybe if the tanks where painted pynk or fluerescent blue some people would like it more. But those people can play CoH and Command and conquer 3. The others who like it this way dont have more options. And yes Rollstoy and Reichenberg, we may be old fashioned but i like being this way !

Just ordered. First time i made a buy on the internet. Oh and that visa logo on the card means it really works, it isnt just for looking pretty. From the order number, it looks like it is selling like cookies. It means 1c company and battlefront will continue to give the game love and atention for years to come.

I have read and subscribed Anxiety is killing me eheh Cant wait to put my hands on the demo

I think there is barbed wire, trenches and MG pillboxes, anti-tank obstacles and minefields. But i believe they are in predefined positions. German infantry also has panzerfaust and panzershrek anti tank weapons and the americans have bazucas. I hope the other factions have something equivalent.

Congratulations are in order to 1c company and Battlefront.com It looks like TOW has everithing to became a classic to hardcore strategy games all around the world. And looks beautifful, it will be like playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion with platoons of T34 and a full set of correct rules of engagement like Combat Mission. RRROOOAAAAARRR Let the games begin.
