Desert/Jungle strike style games

Hi,

Anyone know of any newer games similar to Jungle/Desert/Soviet strike etc?

Looking around and the only thing I've found is Thunder Wolves.

Is it any good?

Renegade Ops is what you need.

Don't know about Thunder Wolves.

I miss desert strike, such a good game. Would be nice to have a new version of that on PC but keep the style and view of the old game.

Yeah looking at videos I've played Renegade Ops a while a go now. Thunder Wolves is ok, it's like serious sam meets helicopters. No real skill needed, just blow the hell out of everything and fire flares.

I have been tinkering with programming for years but never got into it properly purely because of not having a project to do that was big enough.

Wonder if I could create a game based from the old ones with a pre-existing engine :S

I've asked myself the exact same thing with many of the old EA IP's.. at least with road rage we kinda got a successor in road redemption.. as for the strike series theres nothing like it

Thunderwolves has more in common with the console games (soviet / nuclear strike) than the original trio (desert jungle urban) and comes off to me as a bit goofy/arcadey

Just completed Thunder Wolves, maybe 1-2 hours of game play. Good fun for a little game but I won't be going back to it, no real challenge there at all.
