This is my first Theatre of War game. I love the distant sounds, the long range combat, bullet/explosion physics detail. Also the big maps. This is the only stragey game that feels real.
Some say World in conflict is one of the best ones. For me it was too arcadey. Small maps, and seem like everyone was on top of each other. Like most games in this area. Loved the story though.
I really dig Theatre of War 3. One comment from me, is to expand drasticly on the Dynamic Campaign side. More depth would be amazing.
