WW2 Titles 2012

Ardennes1944

I know the majority of people are sick of ww2 games by now and the modern games based on afghanistan and iraq have taken over. But does anyone know of any ww2 games for the 360 that will be released in 2012? i can only find one fighter sim. called combat wings but thats it

SeantheMan

Sniper Elite v2 was released last month

Also, Brothers in Arms : Furious 4 is released this year

D'OH !!

Ardennes1944

thank you muppetkiller that game looks pretty good. it looks a little rough around the edges though or is that just me? definitely what im after though. is that new brothers in arms game coming out? wish they'd bring out a proper sequel to hells highway, loved the ability to command troops

just googled it again and pc only

SeantheMan

PC is your market Ardennes.
Even if you have an average PC there are a ton of WW2 games for it.
Company of Heroes will run on any machine from the last few years I'd imagine.

How old/new is it ? can you post some specs ?
It could probably still run it

Guess not, sorry man.
You're just gonna have to go through the back catalogue of 360 games.
You tried COD : World at War ?

That got me thinking. I have 2GB as well, so I started thinking did a little research and you can use a flash drive as extra RAM so you can run games. I haven't actually tried it yet but there's an idea.

Ardennes1944

ive tried every game i can find. wish my memory could be erased so i could play cod 2 and hells highway all-over again

Ardennes1944 do yourself a favour and pick up a half decent pc on adverts for the price of a console and enjoy the likes of Day of Defeat and Day of Defeat source, add in the red orchestra series and world of tanks and your in WW2 gaming heaven.

Ardennes1944

Dont tempt me! Can you give an example of a few possibly?
Ive no idea on computer specs when it comes to gaming.

Saw that brothers in arms new release as well, hate the new idea of a casual animation take on it

SeantheMan

Examples of decent PCs , or WW2 games for PC ?

Ardennes1944

pcs...that will play decent ww2 games. preferably older ones as it would give a better selection

SeantheMan

Games are backwards compatible, so any new PC can basically play any PC game ever made.
Older ones have trouble playing games a few years after they were made etc.

If you go to adverts.ie , check the computers between 250-500 , most of them are decent and will play any of the games you want from the past.

It's using the same engine alright but is a total conversion. Only £14.99 on amazon too. You don't need Arma either for it.

nice price there on amazon,so it basically is a sim like arma?

Unless I'm entirely mistaken the A300 series came with integrated GPUs, so I'd imagine Company of Heroes would run fine at decent visual settings - the old turion X2 is fine for that game, and it's one of the finest WW2 games you'd play. Day of Defeat Source would run on a toaster at this stage, even on that laptop it should also run fine.

If it's the A300 I'm familar with, it should run COH/DOD/Red Orchedstra fine.

Ardennes1944

how sure are you? company of heroes looks amazing

SeantheMan

If you can download the game I'll give you a spare serial/CD key that I have.
I own a boxed copy, but don't use it as I also have the collector pack on STEAM.

Else it's worth the €8 risk to get it via Steam and see if it works

It's an amazing game

Ardennes1944

Thanks sean i appreciate that. It costs even less online to buy it and i like to have the actual discs so i think ill take the plunge. Ive invested enough in ww2 stuff over the last few years another few bob wont kill me

If you're a console person, Sniper Elite V2 is a pretty great game. It has a few things that irritate me, but only pedantic things like Berlin geography and a slightly unrealistic storyline. The gameplay is great (especially if you turn off the music) and the multiplayer is a lot of fun.

promethius42

Iron front looks amazing cant wait to I get it.

Ardennes1944

will old pc games such as company of heroes and day of defeat work on a hp pavilion g6 i3 laptop?

Ardennes1944

Please

Ardennes1944

and how do you like it sir?

its on its way from ebay world

Kinda hard to say without a model number, if you post the laptops full model number we can say more - run the DirectX diagnostic (type dxdiag into the windows start menu bar) and let us know what cpu/ram/video you have.

At worst, you have Intel integrated, which stills runs the game OK, but on low enough settings.

It's VERY old school but Close Combat 5(I think it is) invasion Normandy is something I got my hands on recently. Fab game, plays perfectly on a netbook.

+1 for that. The entire close combat series were fantastic.

A few of us like myself still play multiplayer Company of Heroes so if you're looking for some practice games or whatnot, try the Company of Heroes 2 thread here, or the Strategy forum

Got back into this game with the sequels announcement, and have once again become seriously addicted

Ardennes1944

The game runs fine on my own laptop bit jerky the odd time but fine! Only just got into it but I love it! It's like age of empires but much better for me , thanks for the suggestion guys!
