The Call to Arms / Men of War games are a bit like Company of Heroes, except it has an obsessive interest in the placement of each individual soldier, the angle of each individual shot, and the contents of everyone's backpack.
FALLOUT 4 CALL TO ARMS MOD SERIES
If you haven't played these games, let me explain a bit more about what makes this series special.
FALLOUT 4 CALL TO ARMS MOD FULL
Call to Arms may not quite have cutting edge graphics or sound (though it's full of nice details), but it still offers one of the most engrossing and vivid real-time tactical games that you can play. Weapons and uniforms have changed, but the action is much as I remember it. On the other hand, it feels an awful lot like the same old game with a costume change. At the most basic level, Call to Arms addresses my main complaints against its predecessor. On the one hand, Call to Arms is pretty much what I wanted Assault Squad 2 to be: a brand-new Men of War game with a different setting, new units, and lots of new maps and missions. Now, it's finally in beta and it's time to see whether DigitalMindSoft have done enough to bring lapsed Men of War back into the battle. It would take the series into modern warfare, using the familiar backdrop of a fictionalized Middle East conflict between the United States and surprisingly well-equipped extremists. It would be the true successor to Men of War. In the backdrop of all of this was another game from developer DigitalMindSoft: Call to Arms. If you were of the opinion that Men of War needed to evolve, and perhaps even experiment with streamlining its fussy controls, Assault Squad 2's complacency was maddening. Tons of maps were recycled, and while you could charitably say that it was "a truckload of content", there was an awful lot that was familiar from the earlier game. It was the Men of War game that made the series' entire concept - a tactical RTS with almost limitless granularity in terms of controls and tactical details - finally click for me.Īssault Squad 2 was… pretty much the exact same game. It was a staple of our game nights and I loved the spectacle: waves of tanks plowing through the icy trenches of the Eastern Front and squads of infantry trudging through the muddy fields and forests of the Pacific islands. My friends and I had played the original Assault Squad for years. Its predecessor, Men of War: Assault Squad 2, was one of the most bitter disappointments I've ever had with a game. Every Monday, Rob Zacny calls out to the assembled masses of Early Access games but only a few are brave and hardy enough to respond to his summons.Ĭall to Arms has a lot to make up for.
