12Bravo Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi, I'm thinking of buying TOW2, but I wanted to get some feedback from the group on some questions I have: 1- I'm not really interested in the Italian campaign, but I understand that those that have the Centuro expansion can't connect via multiplayer with those that don't. Shoud I purchase the expansion anyway? 2- How's the replayability with TOW2? The quik mission builder doesn't give you any randomness as far as where te enemy comes from, etc. Does setting up a skirmish using LAN multiplayer offer randomness and better replayability? 3- I have TOW and I'm wondering how much of an improvement the group feels TOW2 is (in general) over TOW? Thnx! DV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MG TOW Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 just my opinion for what its worth.... Pros: -Graphics and sounds much more detailed and appealing. -The canned missions in the campaigns seem to flow better than TOW 1. -Troops gather ammo and weapons on their own quickly -you can enter buildings and pill boxes -smoke by arty or grenades -Its only $35 -good damage and physics model (like TOW1) -battle generator, modding tools, map maker, scripting tools with manuals -selectable morale i.e. turn panic off Cons: -much Fewer units to select in the battle generator -still the occasional suicide by grenade -sometimes enemy troops run right past each other without so much as a wave - same TOW 1 battle generator, hard to see yellow markers on desert templates General observations: -point and click menu is radically different than TOW 1. Features more options but it is important to learn what a left click does and what right click options are available in the sub-menus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzok Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 TOW 2 + Centauro is a good choice. The Italian campaign is a very good one. From my point of view, TOW 2 only is a little "poor" (not enough units and missions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
