5 seconds. some Emo person sent it to me on steam and I only listened to it for the amount if time It took to close Chrome. there are better things I'd rather listen to over and over again than this.

I tried to rent it and it wasnt at the store, sat there for 10 minutes while the poor employee searched through their computer for anything that started with "T"

I dont even remember the ending i just remember one of them died. I think Im gonna go look for it at blockbuster just for shits and giggles.

I'll start off by saying that there are some seriously underrated and virtually unknown games out there that when someone goes out on a limb to try, they are shocked as to how entertaining it is. With the exception of the STALKER series, and Metro 2033, Most of the developers who reside in nations that exist east of the former Berlin wall are virtually unknown in the gaming industry, and most of their games they turn out arent all that impressive. A lot of the time they simply make localized games for their own populace. Men of War, developed by Best Way in Ukraine,and published by the Russian Media conglomerate "1C Company" is one of those exceptions, although it hasnt been given much attention. It has however made it to the Steam sales stage, Although it hasnt caught up in the popularity contest by far, Men of War is considered to be the arch rival of the Company of Heroes series. Much like Battlefield and Call of duty are trying to derail each other in a gaming pissing contest. Men of War is the third installment of a game engine that has virtually been the same, Men of War is a Series within a Series. It's predecessors, "Soldiers: Heroes of WWII" and "Faces of War" both look virtually identical, however the developers finally decided to stay with the name "Men of War" and since then 3 Titles under that name have been released and a 4th is being developed. Men of War is a World War II RTS Game unlike any other. It's one of the few games that the Singleplayer and Multiplayer are equally entertaining and easy to waste hours upon hours playing. I'll start with the basics of the game. You control Units from one of 5 Factions, the major players in WWII, United States, British Commonwealth, Soviet Union, Germany and the Japanese Empire. Various Mods have been released trying to introduce smaller batches of units and vehicles for other participants like Romania and Italy. as far as the game plays overall it's very similar to Dawn of War, Company of heroes, or any other RTS. Click on dudes and tell them to go places and shoot people. That's about where their similarities end however. Men of war is an RTS/RPG/Shooter hybrid. You can peel a squad of 10 infantry into 2 of 5, or you could pick one unlucky grunt to leave his squad and bumrush the enemy with explosives. Infantry have individual inventories, filled with ammunition, grenades of various types. And other battlefield treasures you can order them to collect. Soldier's helmets can be shot off, they are not cosmetic or decorative, they literally will save a soldiers life and if they expect to survive, your soldiers can pick their helmets back up, or grab an enemy helmet. The individual inventory system is as much a cool realistic thing as it is an annoyance. In earlier installments of the game infantry had by default, low levels of ammunition and such, and were often charging at the enemy just to loot ammo off dead bodies, the developers fixed this in the latest game, Men of War: Assault Squad, each soldier has enough ammunition to last him his entire virtual life, As most of the time they'll die or the game will be over before they get to use it all. This Ammunition management is more useful in artillery and vehicles as they often run out of ammo quickly. Supply trucks can be sent to distrubte everything from medical supplies and fuel, to machinegun ammo and 105mm mortar shells. Vehicles do not have health bars, each vehicle's armor peice has a set "toughness" that can resist X Caliber under Y Condition. Sloped frontal armor on a Panther Tank is often impenetrable by most vehicles, Forcing the enemy to target flatter surfaces of the vehicle, or flank it. Even a group of British Conscripts can take out a King Tiger Tank, Bumrushing infantry with armor is disasterous in Men of War, as most infantry squads carry Short range AT Grenades that can damage the engine and tracks on heavier tanks, and outright blow up lighter tanks. Vehicles have several "body parts" each that can be damaged and destroyed, resulting in different ways of killing or disabling a tank. Hull, Turret, Engine, L and R track, and Main gun. When the turret is damaged, the vehicle can no longer traverse it's turret and must turn the entire body of the tank to aim it's gun, if the gun is damaged, the vehicle is no longer effective and must retreat for repairs. Tracks are pretty self explanitory, the vehicle cant move until its repaired. When the Hull or engine is damaged or destroyed , the vehicle has chance of catching fire and exploding, Often if the vehicle catches fire most if not all of the crew bails from the vehicle burning to death. When a vehicle explodes it can no longer be looted, removing the possibility of stealing fuel or ammo from that T-34 that just blew up in a glorious fireball. The terrain is completley destructable, craters appear in the ground from explosions and stay there permantley, buildings have about 30-40 different areas that can be picked apart by explosives. And there is a fully functioning cover system. Instead of using a "cover area" like in Dawn of war, you send your soldiers to hide in a trench, in a crater, behind a car, behind a Tank turret that just blew off an enemy tank. You can even use the destruction engine to your advantage, I've taken out a Tiger tank before by missing a shot with an artillery gun, only to cause a tower to collapse on it. There is also what is called "Direct Control mode" allowing you to control any Soldier, Gun , Tank etc and play with it like it was a third person shooter. There is also a function to go into first person mode but it's relativley useless. The direct action mode is most useful on tanks and AT Guns, letting you use a tank to do exactly what you want it to do, aim it yourself. etc. Making a unit much more deadly I'll wrap up with these two notes, since I imagine people would rather see gameplay than listen to me rant. The Multiplayer is much like World in Conflict, there are no bases, you get points to spend and you "Call in reinforcements" you can call in squads of soldiers, individual tanks, supply trucks, artillery, and even hero/special units, Like for example the SdKfz 303 remote controlled mine for Germany, Or a massive ISU-152 Heavy mobile howitzer for the Soviets. Each faction has several unique units *Mind you all the new stuff is from Assault Squad, the MP for Assault squad is the most refined,* Lastly, the singleplayer, I will admit the vanilla campaigns for all the games are mediocre at best, because they're very difficult, and some of the voice acting on the earlier games is -Terrible-. Most of the community generated mods and campaigns are just garbage, There are plenty of SP and MP maps out there that are good, but the gold of the singleplayer side is the GEM Editor. Men of war features a real time editor that lets you load up a pre-existing Multiplayer map or SP campaign map, edit the map to your liking, change missions. Or make your own. My favorite thing to do is just place units down, and hit the "START" Button which lets you play the editor as if you were playing the game. and you can do -anything-. Want a huge trench war with 1000 soldiers fighting? it can be done, want a tank battle with King Tigers vs Pershings? it an be done. There is no limit to what you can do in the editor. There are 3 games in the series, and 1 being developed Men of War />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_of_War Men of War: Red tide - Singleplayer expansion with a campaign featuring the story of the Soviet Naval Infantry, Adds Romanian and Italian units. No Multiplayer features however Men of War: Assault Squad - More refined and tuned version of the original game, better graphics, new units, Focus on Multiplayer but SP skirmishes and editor still exist. Men of War: Vietnam - Self explanitory, not released yet VIDEOS I'd like to mention that the first two are trailers of some sort, but aside from the funky camera angles, it is all 100% in game footage.

I absolutely love this series, I recommended it to anyone who likes any kind of action game. Except you Eriksson. Gave you a free copy of it and you never played it. sheesh

I dunno about crying over a war film... lol.. I just remember it being a movie that was 80% pew pew and only 20% BS

Taking it too far as to with Mercz, their group used to be some kind of Futuristic Russian, Ukrainian I dont know what military with no backstory at all. Frankly just people who shot shit on SL. Anthony started making some kind of backstory that from what I heard extended to like 10 pages and I honestley Can't even understand it, Because in Mercz's little universe it has like 4 fictional countries in some fictional world, and every time you turn around they've shifted the theme of their group to reflect some other part of that fictional world, completley or almost completley abandoning all aspects of their previous theme, making it redundant and irrelevant. Long story short the extent that they took their non-relevant history *IE all fictitious stuff that never happened* to the level that a lot of people think is silly. Im saying this as a former veteran of Mercz. I think the level they took their backstory is foolish, and ceased to even matter with the group itself in SL, I Think there's been more text and paragraph put into the history of Graznovik, Produgal/Portugal whatever the hell its all called, then is put in some of the official documents like handbooks and manuals.

Im not going to watch it because im frankly not interested in the setting but I find that a lot of the non-hollywood esque war movies are the better ones, with the exception of Windtalkers and Saving Private Ryan, but both of them were plagued by bad prettyboy actors. Best war film I ever saw I think was called Taegukgi Brotherhood of war, a Korean film about the Korean war that had 2 South Korean brothers conscripted into the army at the onset of the war, one gets captured and months later his brother finds him fighting on the side of the North Koreans. it was dubbed but the dubbing wasnt that bad. opposed to some films Point is, more shooty less drama are better, I dont rent a movie to sit there for an hour watching some guy go through 3 months of his training only to see 20 minutes of fighting only to have him die and the movie ends. "Like that series The Pacific or whatever it's called"

Let's just not take this backstory to the extent mercz did. pretty please.

Don't flame me if you blantantly disagree with me as I'm just thinking aloud and voicing my own opinion here. But latley I've been noticing that many individuals hold Administrative or otherwise command roles in more than one department at once. I think this is unfair to others as it puts a choke on and limits people in taking up responsibilities. Example. John Bob who is an E6 Has been for some time wanting to take on a larger responsibility, A opening for the A-V's Squad's XO appears and he applies. A week later Fred Flinstone who is E8 Is given the XO position, John bob feels annoyed because Fred is also the Head of Schola in IEA, and feels it was unfair to give the position to Fred, even if it was given to another person it wouldnt have been a problem. but the fact the person who was awarded the position already held one frustrated John bob You can change X and Y to whatever you desire, the point is that there is a number of positions in which the CO, XO, whatever is also in charge of something else, this both limits that persons concentration on the said responsibility as they are constantly bumping from PRF here, to Holding a meeting there. And also doesnt let other people get the chance to take a responsibility in a command role at all. I really didnt want to have to use this word, but this all seems like a form of Greed

Im in -4 but I had been wondering when it goes back, since I have a friend I talk to in GMT 0. thanks I guess lol

surprised it wasnt copybotted sooner. lol.

To cause anyone's chair to collapse and watch the fatties fall.

Sorry Karl, Vanguard beat you before you could even make that joke. Lol.. They had a uniform like that a long time ago, or at least were working on one, but then for some reason switched over to something else. *It was between the prim armor ages, and the one that Tangent made*

Why is this in the PC thread. I thought Killzone was a Playstation exclusive. I've wanted to play them but I will not buy a Sony just for 1 game.

SRC Gewehr 36E (G36E) AEG FPS:400 This arrived in the mail a few days after Christmas, like the AKM I haven't really had an opporutunity to take it out in an actual game. The most action either SRC gun has seen is a Snowman Genocide. For many years I hated British and German weapons with a passion, I've developed a bit of a tolerance for HK, But I'll die before I pick up an L85. My only complaint about the Airsoft G36 guns is their odd battery placement. As the guns get bigger I find the batteries are harder to put in and get them to stay in properly. G36C and G36K arent as much as an issue since the handguard is smaller, but the G36/G36E and MG36 have very large handguards and can be difficult to get that to slide back on in some cases I have two sets of sights, the integrated optics shown in the picture, and the traditional rail type that you see on G36Cs for example, I find the rails easier to use in most cases but the optics can prove useful in other cases.

Congradulations. And.. Sebri s l o l

L to R Random Chinese MP5A6 Type: Spring Notes: Got it in a box of "9 randomly assorted damaged airsoft guns" Ordered it many years back when I was just a kid, its the only one of the 9 that still works, The front sight is broken off, gun is completley useless. I only give it to idiots who play with me. Crosman Pulse R70 Type: AEG Notes: Terrible gun, battery wires failing, ammo is fed thru the scope. Another gun I dont personally use, I just let morons I play with have it Crosman Pulse R76 AKS-47U Spetsnaz Type: AEG Notes: Probably the only good gun Crosman ever sold. It's falling apart though from years of neglect. Stock is getting weak, button on the stock isnt there anymore and must use finger, plastic is breaking in many places. and being held by glue or tape. CYMA 028 AKM Type: AEG Notes: My first airsoft gun, about a year ago it "broke" just recentley fixed it, it had about 9 BBs jammed in the feed area. This gun is actually illegal in my country due to it not having a translucent reciever. It's had better days, and has been replaced as my primary by the one to the right SRC TAC AK47 (MW2 AK) Type: AEG Notes: I have yet to actually use this, When I ordered it I didnt order a seperate battery. Full metal body, had a few issues unboxing it, dustcover was too long and had to file off a bit. Stock is a little wobbly and sights sometimes need to be readjusted. Bottom row Crosman Stinger S30 Type: Spring Shotgun Notes: Another "wal-mart" brand, but like the name, this gun fucking hurts when you get shot in the wrong place, I've been beaned between the eyes before. But then again all spring powered rifles hurt. Crosman Pulse DP80 (AKS-74U) Type: AEG / Spring *dual powered* Notes: Very small battery, confusing sights. Weak frame. 40 round magazine, takes too long to reload, jams frequently. I got this because I wasnt aware of all the flaws, this gun replaced the R76 In stores, and its terrible, the Spetsnaz AK was better in every way, and this gun is an insult to Kalashnikovs, even if its not a real gun Sigarms P226 Type: Spring Notes: Wal mart brand, cheap but decent sidearm. Rarley used since I dont have a rifle sling, cant risk putting the guns on the ground when its wet out. Desert Eagle Type: Spring Notes: Unknown brand, from wal mart again, thus gun is an insult to its Real life variant aswell, holds a lot of ammo and is easy to operate but it has extremley weak FPS and terrible range/accuracy. I hardly ever use this. Its all bark and no bite -- Not in my posession at the moment SRC G36E Type: AEG Notes: Has both rail sights and G36 Intigrated optics. Should be arriving in a few days

Best wishes wherever your travels take you.

Eriksson Foxtrot: I bought something on the SL marketplace, it was a decorative sword. But when I went to wear it I just exploded

Most Kalashnikov and AK Variant magazines for 5.45 are compatible with each other's weapons because the Magazines are pretty much identical from weapon to weapon. Only the color/material varies Traditional AK-47 / AKM Magazine AK-74 Magazines in 3 generations It's crap like this that is incompatible with most AK models. Basically any of these Tacticool Magazines that were made for the Knockoff American Clones of the weapon, a lot of Chinese Magazines are of uber shit quality and are often incompatible. And sometimes there are weapons that the magazine is entirley different shape, As seen in some AK "look alikes". Like the Czechoslovak VZ.58 Which is infact quite a bit larger. Or the Hungarian mag pictured above the tacticool one,
