I always sucked at commandos :(

Although that may have been because i was ten :o


I could do the missions and finish the games but always in a "you massacred every single Nazi in some hideous drawn out ambush/kings of the hill style attack then destroyed the objectives at leisure while your spy pranced about in a Gestapo uniform" style affair :o


Sort of like i finished the later missions in hit man with a minigun.

Lol, me too. Loved the game but was a bit too young to get the point of it :D

LMAO.

That's me to a TEE. I always used to dump a german body in plain sight of some guards, wait for them to come around the corner and then pistol the lot of them.

Actually same with hitman as well, I remember one mission I had to kill some guys at a meeting then make it look like a triad killing. After blowing the guys through a plate glass window with a combat shotgun and then gunning down the police I remembered to go back and place the triad gang symbol on the corpse. Always made me chuckle
 
hmm may have to get these, lent the original CDs to a 'friend' 6 years ago, never seen them since.

Also need to replace 'Traitors Gate' :(

Love these games, spent hours playing them although the fps version sucked bum!
 
Someone let me now how this runs on Windows 7 :)

And were 2 and 3 as good? I only played the original + add on.

Tbh I was hugely disappointed with 3. They removed a bunch of characters and put time limits on missions, which I found annoying because I like to take my time.

I can't decide whether I like 1 or 2 better. 1 has like nearly 30 missions, which is awesome and kinda makes you think a bit more because they limit each commando's abilities to very select things. 2 has less missions, I think 12 or so + small bonus missions, but they're super awesome and there's tonnes of ways to complete them, but due to each guy having overlapping skills it's makes some of them redundant. I did pretty much every mission just using the Green Beret and the Thief, and only used the Sapper for when I needed bombs, Marine for underwater/range stealth kills (Throwing Knife) and the Driver for bugger all (He was the weapons expert in the first but now everyone can pick up and use enemy rifles/machineguns, just not quite as good with them).

Still, 2 remains one of my all time favourite games (I had a broken arm when I bought it and it lasted me until my cast came off) and is worth £5 on it's own.
 
just got this, haven't played them in about 7/8 years or something - never completed the first two, and never tried the third. don't like the sound of the time limits as mentioned above...

haha, nostalgia from the intro and briefings!!
 
Loved 1 though it could get frustratingly hard - especially the last level, 2 was brilliant but as said the skills overlapped too much and made the game too easy. 3 was utter rubbish - small quick missions that had liitle stealth to them.
 
I've only played #2, and it's an amazing game.

You get the feel that it was made by a very small team (and a damn good one) of developers, the voice acting is great :D rubbish foreign accents for some people in the game. All adds to the fun of it :)
