This standalone game features two unique armies with full length campaigns. Players will experience fast-paced dynamic tactics like never before, in two of the most brutal World War II campaigns ever fought. Take command of the tenacious British 2nd Army in the vicious battle for Caen, France, or lead the German Panzer Elite as they struggle to repel the largest airborne invasion in history. With two intensely cinematic campaigns, mission persistence, improved vehicle AI and weather effects that directly impact the battlefield, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts supports DirectX 10 and is fully compatible with the original Company of Heroes. Battle online with these two all-new armies and utilize full compatibility with the original Company of Heroes for a total of four playable armies - allowing players to wage the ultimate war for Fortress Europe. FeaturesFeatures Bigger – Play as the British or Germans in two intensely cinematic campaigns. * Better looking – DX10 support and significant upgrades to the Essence Engine. * Smarter – Improved vehicle AI and path-finding. * More Realistic – All new weather effects directly impact the battlefield. [Relic]***Introduces two new armies, the British 2nd and the German Panzer Elite, both with their own all new campaigns, too. British are slow-moving and highly defensive army and apparently has movable base unlike all the other armies, as well as tank airdrop and many other interesting and unique abilities. Panzer Elite on the other hand is a low number force of, you know, elite forces who're more suited for rushing the enemy in Blitzkrieg tactics and specializes on vehicular combat more than any other army. Apparently You won't need to have Opposing Fronts to play against their armies after a new patch is rolled out for the original game, although you won't be able to play _as_ either of the new armies if you don't get the expansion, nor likely are you able to play the two old armies if you don't have the original, but you can still play against those who either have only the expansion or only the original even if you only have the other.

Battle with your friends or others you encounter online through a whole range of vibrant maps; TF2 maps reimagined in 2D as well as a multitude of maps with all sorts of different looks and settings, all of which have been dreamed up and constructed by members of our community. We've made a huge effort to provide simple, bugfree custom map support, so that anyone with a paint application can put together a map and test it themselves with our Garrison Builder utility. We also gladly encourage Gang Garrison modifications; many successful mods have been incorporated into the game as new features. While this game has come a long way, it is still a work in progress and many impressive new features are being planned such as new gametypes and alternate weapons. Because this game continues to grow only because of the devotion and hard work of our community, we invite you to come and participate in the future of this game. We are always looking for talented people to join the forum, contribute art, content, ideas, and modifications, and maybe even help us behind the scenes on new official versions. We hope you'll stop by and have a look at our game; it is the imagination and spirit of our players that makes it so fun. [-]

Dawn of War II	THQ (Relic Entertainment)	2009	It’s the 41st Millennium in the Sub-Sector Aurelia – a cluster of worlds on the edge of the galaxy – where a battle of epic proportions is about to commence. Ancient races will clash across the planets that dot this sector of space, battling for the greatest of stakes – not only for control of Sub-Sector Aurelia – but the fate of each race. With a focus on fast-action RTS gameplay, Dawn of War II brings to life the science fiction universe of Warhammer 40,000 like never before. Experience the intimate brutality of battle as you play through your chosen race’s epic campaign. Clash with the enemies on battlefield ablaze with visceral melee and ranged combat. Lead and develop your squads from raw recruits into the most battle hardened veterans in the galaxy. Also included is The Last Stand, a co-operative game mode featuring user controlled heroes fighting waves of enemies.*Deviating a lot from the first Dawn of War, this RTS plays more like a tactical-action (Commandos) than a strategy game (even with is touches of Command and Conquer) Pros: -Great controls, even to seem easy to use many units in the field. -Equipment and leveling up: brings some roleplay elements in the development of your team. -Tyranids. -3 game modes: campaign (Space Marines cleansing places), coop defense (pick your hero and prepare to withstands waves of enemies) and multiplayer (a mix between a hero RTS and a MOBA) Cons: -Too many times soldiers adopt stupid covers (like being in the two sides of a trench) 6 of 10DoW2 is perhaps best defined as tactical RPG than strategy RPG, with RPG elements mostly covering only how good your characters are doing their stuff and the otherwise equipment based system. There's no role-playing to speak of, though.Tagline: "Your slavery to the False Emperor ends today!"Latest version: 2.2.0 (as of 2010-04-??) Version history: 1.3.2 (2009-05-14)*Although the devs/publishers touted a lot about new approach to RTS with the title, the only thing I noticed to be truly new (for the type of RTS DoW2 is) was that your troops couldn't be killed for real. Few units (4 squads total in this case) to somewhat non-linear tactical missions have been done before, although none before in my experience are so lenient on the matter. Your squads can't be killed since only the squad leader is actually important and he can only be knocked unconscious. If all squads become unconscious, emergency evac is pulled and the squads and their leaders are back to full strength as if nothing happened. You lose the turn in the overworld meta-game with a lost battle, but that's hardly anything new. The squad leaders gain experience and level up occasioally, which can be spent on very few areas of interest, and they can be given new equipment which most of the time just makes them more powerful, resilient and generally more efficient. Each map has several teleport beacons scattered around where squads can be re-inforced, 2 secondary objectives which can be completed, and the primary objective. These are invariably(?) placed at the 4 corners of the tactical map. You can perform multiple attacks on single turn if you perform sufficiently well in a battle, but this is usually unlikely on harder difficulty settings. Each map also holds a boss at the primary objective location who usually has 200 times (and more) as much health as the more regular units from the tougher end. On harder difficulty settings these become rather dreary as you spend most of the time resuscitating unconscious squad leaders and doing round-trips to teleport beacons for re-inforcements than actually fighting the bosses. In conclusion, the base tactical gameplay is interesting like in any other tactical game, but all value is lost from the fact that you can practically never lose and success in missions is purely based on how well you manage to keep at least one squad conscious long enough to get the others back up, beyond that, all your great tactical plans are pointless except to reduce the number of times you need to get the squads back up.2009-01-19 gone gold 2009-01-21 closed beta with Soulstorm owners started 2009-01-28 public beta 2009-04-15 single-player demo released The betas are used to produce a day 1 patch if necessary for the actual release slated for 2009-02-19.*[b]Minimum:[/b] Windows XP SP2 or Vista SP1 * Pentium IV 3.2 GHz CPU or any Dual Core CPU * 1 GB RAM (1.5 GB for Vista) * 128 MB VRAM * GeForce 6600 GT or Radeon X1600 GPU * 5.5 GB HD space * 1.5 GB swap file [b]Recommended:[/b] * Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or any Core 2 Duo CPU * 2 GB RAM * 256 MB VRAM * GeForce 7800 GT or Radeon X1900 GPU**[b]Factions:[/b] Space Marines * Orks * Eldar * Tyranids

[b]Background story:[/b] Man is back on the Moon and the companies that took him there are reaping huge profits. Their greed soon leads to the largest mining accident in history, when overexploitation of a risky new technique called Incite Mining leads to a catastrophe of unprecedented scale. An explosion throws billions of tons of rocky debris into near-Earth space, its aftershocks threatening to tear apart the Moon itself. Fragments of the Moon settle around the Earth and become known as the Arc, named after the dramatic shape they draw across the night sky. With Earth surrounded by debris there's little chance of rescue or return for the thousands of people stranded in space. The International Space Agency's astronauts and scientists trapped in the battered International Space Station are given the task of apprehending those responsible for the catastrophe. Weapons are among the last supplies sent to the station before the supply route from Earth is cut. The Moon Mining Cooperative finds itself facing serious charges after only barely surviving the cataclysm. Cut off from Earth, they see independence and self-sufficiency as their only possible future and the ISA as a threat to their existence. The two sides are drawn into an armed conflict. Desperate battles are fought over strategic locations and the scant supplies from Earth that make it through the shroud of debris. Control of the Arc now means the difference between survival and death in the cold of space. [Futuremark]*Announced on 2008-08-19

Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight	Electronic Arts (EA Los Angeles)	2010	Includes two campaigns selectable after ~3 tutorial/prologue missions, both of which end in superficially same manner but have their own quirks which may be of interest, though in terms of sequels (if there ever will be such) there's little need for retconning either campaign as they are sufficiently separated/streamlined not to clash with each other (but can't exist simultaneously). Personally the singleplayer portion is rather pointless with obvious focus on 2-3 player coops or larger pvp matches. Most of the difficulty on solo/coop games comes from the fact that the enemy isn't limited to 3-6 MCV calldowns like you are and thus can never be truly defeated (usually it isn't the objective and when it is, they don't call new MCVs when one id destroyed). For anyone wanting good solo game, better look at the older free CnC games (Tiberian Sun for example) or games unrelated to CnC series. Didn't try multiplayer, so it might be more interesting if that's your thing.**In the year 2062, humanity found itself on the brink of extinction. Tiberium, the mysterious, alien crystalline structure that infested Earth for decades and caused years of relentless conflict between the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod, was close to rendering the planet uninhabitable. In the midst of this crisis, Kane, Nod's prophetic leader, emerged from seclusion to deliver GDI the message that he had developed a system that could control Tiberium and harness its power. But he could not build this "Tiberium Control Network" without GDI's cooperation. Thus, the two opposing factions—GDI and Nod—found themselves in a desperate and unlikely alliance to stop Tiberium from extinguishing mankind. "KANE. GDI. NOD. TIBERIUM. HOW WILL IT END?" Now, after 15 years, the network is nearly complete. Tiberium is under strict control and our revitalized planet is on the cusp of a new age of prosperity and progress. It is only now that the world's citizens begin to seriously ponder why Kane chose to help, and what he will want in return. These questions and more lead to the dramatic final act of the 15-year Tiberium saga in Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight. Kane. GDI. Nod. Tiberium. How will it end? Find out in Command & Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight, told through gritty live-action cinematics, persistent player progression, and a multitude of innovations to the classic fast and fluid Command & Conquer gameplay.

Frozen Synapse	Mode 7 Games	2011	Un juego de estrategia/acción por turnos, donde debes planificar tus acciones no sólo en función de lo que tu quieres hacer, sino también pensando en las acciones del rival. Muy mental (aunque demolerlo todo a bazocazos es sencillo y eficaz), desgraciadamente no hay tanta gente para jugar partidas como antaño. Lo cual es curioso, ya que debido a su planteamiento tu envías/recibes una partida y recibir la respuesta/contestarla días más tarde con su/tu estrategia, para ver el resultado de vuestras acciones y seguir (si ambos permanecéis mínimamente vivos) Original como el sólo, el único defecto que le veo es que su campaña es excesivamente exigente (su curva de dificultad hace de su tutorial un infierno y de su campaña una quimera, se aprende más jugando en multijugador) Un interesante enfoque en los juegos de acción por turnos. 6 de 10*A semi-abstract, semi-cyberspace tactical squad-based combat strategy with ability to give surprisingly complex commands to your troops at about decisecond precision. Each turn is about 5 seconds of action where you need to plan your moves in a way that avoids unnecessarily loss of life by scanning surroundings, controlling facing, designating targets to focus or ignore, etc. and since actions can cross the timeline between turns, you can easily end up with a turn starting where you have a rocket a millimeter way from your trooper's face with no solution available to save them. Each singleplayer mission takes place on randomly generated map that is generated again if you restart that mission, disallowing you to grind same level over and over again to win it by brute forcing your tactics (as in, the challenges if not the goals are different on each try). Multiplayer at the time of writing only has 1-vs-1 battles against human players.Frozen Synapse is the ultimate tactical game on PC and Mac. It brings the simultaneous turn-based strategy genre bang up-to-date and lets you give detailed, accurate orders to your squad: classic gameplay with a modern interface. Plan your moves, test them out, then hit the "Prime" button: both you and your enemy's turns are executed simultaneously. Competitive-but-intuitive multiplayer and a huge single player campaign mean that Frozen Synapse will give you hours and hours of tactical delight. Key features: Get a FREE full copy of the game for a friend with every purchase * 5 challenging multiplayer modes, including the innovative bidding-based "Secure" and "Hostage Rescue" * 55-mission single player campaign with dynamic dialogue and thrilling near-future narrative * Powerful Skirmish Generator * Facebook, Twitter and YouTube integration * 15 Steam Achievements * Integrated IRC chat as well as various community features * Random generation combined with hand-crafted content means that levels and maps are different every time * Critically-acclaimed electronica soundtrack by musician nervous_testpilot***[media=youtube]aXbsSLeINhg[/media]

Pirates, Vikings and Knights II	-	2012	Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II pits three teams against each other in a struggle for wealth, power and total domination. Whether using the Gunpowder Keg to clear out a territory full of enemies, or the Javelin to pin your dead foes to a wall, you'll find this game both hilarious and exhilarating. [Steam Store]*¿Que pasaría si alguien se pasase por los mismísimos el rigor histórico y pusiera a vikingos, guerreros medievales y piratas del SXVIII en un juego para darse entre sí? Pues que saldría un juego tan divertido como este. Una pena que su desarrollo se haya ralentizado tanto, porque en un comienzo iban a existir muchas más clases. Aún así, los ataques especiales (berserker, triple flecha) o armas como el barril del escaramuzador o el loro del capitán son elementos que hacen de este juego un mod tan alocado como divertido. Juego muy pachanguero. 7 de 10*Like with many other mods for Source engine, this works with almost any Source engine game released by Valve excluding Portal: First Slice and Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.

PlanetSide 2	Sony Online Entertainment	2012	PlanetSide 2 takes all the groundbreaking features from the original game – massive multiplayer battles, distinct empires to rally around, and enormous continents where intense ground and air combat unfolds – and adds features that modern gamers have come to expect out of the FPS and MMO genres. With advanced technology, years of gamer feedback, and a new SOE proprietary MMO game engine called Forgelight™, PlanetSide 2 offers a truly competitive and visceral FPS experience with massive warfare, massive customization and massive community. Across the continents of Auraxis, thousands of players will come together in enormous battles to win control of critical territories and key resources for their empire. With a an extensive skill tree and free-form class-based system, players will be able to customize their soldier, weapons and vehicles to match their play-style, as well as the needs of their squad, outfit or empire. Battles can last for days or weeks, so players will need to build alliances and specialized combat outfits to take on long-term strategic and tactical initiatives. With air and ground combat, the battles will be larger and more intense than ever. KEY FEATURES: * MASSIVE WARFARE: Battles will take place not between dozens of troops, but hundreds; with air and ground vehicles slugging it out alongside squads of troops. Whether in open fields, tightly-packed urban centers or enormous structures, winning will require strategic teamwork and a quick trigger finger in the massive battles. * THREE EMPIRES: Players will have their choice to join three different empires: * TERRAN REPUBLIC – With a militaristic government, the Terran Republic uses its Imperial authoritarian might to impel humanity to peaceful coexistence through any means necessary. * NEW CONGLOMERATE – A loosely connected group of rebel factions and idealistic freedom fighters, the New Conglomerate fights against the hegemony of the Terran. * VANU SOVEREIGNTY – A technocratic faction that believes humanity can only evolve by rediscovering and tapping the lost technology of the Vanu. * BATTLE FOR TERRITORIES & RESOURCES: The core gameplay of PlanetSide 2 is about holding key territories and controlling valuable resources. Each battleground holds valuable resources and key positions, and the empire that can conquer (and manage to hold) these territories will be rewarded with fuel bonuses, ammo bonuses, tech bonuses, and more.Persistence: In Planetside 2 battles will last longer than a match timer. Battles will last for days or weeks, and finally taking control of the base means it’s yours until someone can take it back. Working strategically as a team to capture key tactical positions such as power plants and ammo depots will have long-lasting effects that can shift the tide of battle. * ENORMOUS MAPS: PlanetSide 2 will launch with several continent maps; every inch of which will be contestable space. With the new territorial control meta-game, landmass will have intrinsic value even without notable installations or major features. * FREE-FORM CLASS-BASED SYSTEM: Players will be able to unlock diverse combat roles by advancing through the skill tree, including several classic roles from PlanetSide. As players unlock new roles, they will be able to switch between them at will. * MISSION SYSTEM: Both SOE and players will be able to drive content, easing new players into the game and allowing veterans to feed content to players. * SKILL TREES: Players will be able to build their soldier to match their play-style, or to match the needs of their squad, outfit or empire. Each combat role, vehicle and weapon will have extensive skill trees. These cert trees will allow players to grow characters laterally, unlocking weapons, attachments, equipment, specialized skills, and more. * OUTFITS: Outfits (guilds) will also be able to customize themselves – allowing outfits to have their own identity, reputation and role in the ongoing war. * WEAPONS: Players will be able to access more than 20 basic weapons, which can be customized to players’ preference or purpose. * VEHICLES: More than 10 vehicles with two unique vehicles per empire.

Lo más notable del juego son las habilidades especiales y a gran cantidad de datos que ofrece al jugador (daño ejercido y sufrido, posibilidad de crítico), que añaden una dosis de estrategia notable al juego, una pena que no lo explote aún más (sería interesante ver mejoras del equipamiento que aportasen datos nuevos) Teniendo en cuenta que es gratuito, muy interesante de probar por estos elementos propios casi de un RPG. Si que le limita algo el no poder cambiar de clase entre rondas (algo comprensible dentro de la misma partida por las habilidades especiales, pero carente de sentido de ronda a ronda) Y el sistema de reporte o de silenciado de los que usan el chat para molestar o insultar es ejemplar. 6 de 10***2012-08-16 beta started
Magicka: Wizard Wars	Paradox Interactive (Paradox North)	2014	De momento es beta, habrá que esperar para ver como acaba. Aún así, aunque mantiene el caos y la variedad (algo simplificada eso sí) de ataques del Magicka original, carece del encanto de la historia y de la inmensa mayor parte de las muertes absurdas del primer juego. Desde el punto de vista competitivo, está muy bien el juego de ataque-contra, ya que todo ataque o defensa tiene un punto débil o incluso puede ser usado en tu/su contra. El mejor ejemplo es como la limitación a 3 elementos máxime evita usar el clásico escudo SAFE y sus variedades. Gran acierto el de los Magicks con un sólo botón, hace que el juego sea mucho más dinámico. Una pena que quitaran el golpe de aire de bastón, sería muy interesante verlo en PvP. 6 de 10
