I've never really played any RTS game but am quite interested in giving a WW2 RTS game a blast.

I am currently downloading the Men of War demo as it looks really good but would appreciate any suggestions on other games of this genre to look at - basically anything WW2 that would be good for an RTS beginner.

Thanks in advance.
 
Company of heroes is superb !



Once you get into RTS, there's :
Men of War.
Codename Panzers ( phase 1-3).
Desert Rats vs Africa Corps.
Empire earth when you set the starting age at ww2 era and the ending age also :p.
 
Thanks for the suggestions.

Company of Heroes does look very good. Would you say that I'd be better to go for CoH first and then move on to something like Men of War - especially with me being new to this type of game - as I have read that MoW is quite hard in places and can be a bit lacking in instruction.
 
Would definatly start with company of heroes, and the expansion pack. Its an easy game to get to grips with and i enjoy it myself even though im not usually into rts games that much.

Soldiers heroes of WW2 is good too and it seems to give you more control over each individual unit, in that you can drive the tank using the keyboard rather than just point and click like most rts games.

Men of War is supposed to be pretty good aswell, but would definatly start with COH. ;)

Click to expand...

defiantly. men of war can leave you in impossible to win situations later on (after saves/check points) and be frustratingly hard.


CoH is much more scalable in terms of difficulty.

I would recommend playing on hard not normal for your first go though. it's nt uber difficult but much more realistic.
 
Excellent, thanks a lot for the advice.

I'll give Company of Heroes a blast first, to cut my teeth, and then probably it'll be Men of War I think.

Thanks again :)
 
Just to update - I bought CoH in the end, as per the recommendations.

I have only just started playing over the last few days but what can I say; it's excellent, I’m loving every minute of it so far, great game!

Thanks a lot to those who pointed me in the right direction. :)
 
Company of Heroes is amazing, i think you can get the compilation pack quite cheap these days,,,

search for the Anthology pack as its £14.99 for all three releases !! then kiss your life goodbye :p
 
Love COH and had it installed since release, the only thing i dont like is how you do incremental patches rather than say, a V1.00 to *present version*.

Other than that fantastic game. :)
