My Best RTS : COMPANY OF HEROES

2012-02-16T19:38:00.000-08:00

do you know RTS (Real-Time Strategy? yeah RTS is is a sub-genre of strategy video game which does not progress incrementally in turns. In a RTS, as in other wargames, the participants position and maneuver units and structures under their control to secure areas of the map and/or destroy their opponents' assets. In a typical RTS, it is possible to create additional units and structures during the course of a game. This is generally limited by a requirement to expend accumulated resources. These resources are in turn garnered by controlling special points on the map and/or possessing certain types of units and structures devoted to this purpose. More specifically, the typical game of the RTS genre features resource gathering, base building, in-game technological development and indirect control of units. My favorite and best RTS is Company Of Heroes (COH), it is the real-time strategy game that uses realistically modeled of WWII physics as a part of gameplay, including fully destructible environments.

As WWII-related mania, I love this game because the environment of WWII so cool for me. The gear, vehicles, buildings are very authentic. If we play COH, we need to choose a faction first. Axis and Allies represented by Germans as Axis and americans as Allies. We can choose a doctrine for our combat style. For germans we can choose several doctrine such as defensive doctrine, blitzkrieg, and terror doctrine. Its depend on your combat style, for example if you like fast moving and use Tank or vehicles you better choose blitzkrieg doctrine (germans most famous strategy on WWII).

For Americans we can choose several doctrine such as infantry company, airborne company, and Armor company. As you see americans doctrine depend on unit type focus, for example you can drop your troop to any place that has been revealed by your unit with airborne division (US airborne very famous on WWII on europe).

MEDIEVAL II : TOTAL WAR

2012-02-15T21:57:00.001-08:00

Total war series are turn based game on the campaign, and can transform into Real Time Strategy (RTS) on the battle. My first total war is Rome: total war, but now I will talk about the next generation of total war series after Rome: total war. My choice for this sequel are Medieval II: total war, why? Because I haven’t finished the Rome: total war when the first sequel of Medieval : total war launched (you know total war series grand campaign can’t finished quickly huh?.....lol). I saw it first on the store, and take it to home after know it’s a total war series. When I know the title is are Medieval II: total war I know there is must be have the first sequel, and I think the second sequel will be more awesome.
As a total war series player, no need to have much time for me to learning about the interface. There is just two mode, turn based mode and the RTS mode. On the , turn based mode we will campaign on the Europe and little part of Asia and Africa. We can manage our kingdom or faction on this mode.

On the RTS mode you can command a unit, like footman, horseman, archer, siege weapon, etc. you can order them to move, attack, manning siege weapon,etc. all unit depend on how you manage it on the campaign mode for recruiting, disband, upgrade, etc.

GREAT PIRATES GAME

2009-08-08T19:32:00.000-07:00

tortuga: two Treasures is a game that I play by accidentally. This was from when I meet my friends who complain that they can not install tortuga two treasure from the DVD to his computer. With the intention to help my friend's (I'm a fellow … huh… :P), then I install the game into my acer 4530 (the graphic card is good enough ... ... =)).
After a while, the installation was successful, I guest the DVD game is still good, may be my friend’s DVD room have broke down.
Fad after install, then I try the game. First on the menu will appear as the general game menus , such as the new game, load game, options, etc.. The first thing I do is go into the option, which is graphic option, because we can adjust the graphics card that we have, in order to expedite play this game. After already set the graphic option, I go to the control, which appeared in tortuga: two treasure supporting joypad for the PC or notebook, so it will be enough to play it in ease.
Once completed on the option, I also started playing this game, after several hours I played this game, I can draw the conclusion that this game adventure genre, the adventure of a pirate who is Thomas "Hawk" Blythe.
In this game we will be in two modes:

1. land mode.
In this mode, we will play a pirate character who will find a variety of missions on land. During this time I get a new mission-the mission on land that requires expertise in a sword fight, whether between pirates, with the army and army of Europe. In this mode we can also use the items acquired, through the purchase of property and wealth that we find around our place. For purchase, we can only purchase the items in the course of time, such as at the time of completing the mission is complete. It for items such as:
a. healing Potion
Potion that can heal us when we are injured, injury can be seen when the bar shows the life becomes reduced, the remaining short bar will be more severe the injury suffered. To use this item enough to activate the cursor (hold the "SPACE" button [default]) and then navigate to the cursor on the item you want (to be described with the healing Potion bottles), and click the left. If healing Potion successfully used, the life bar will increase (even full)
b. gun
item that is used to disable the opponent from a far enough distance. For this item I rarely use it (I prefer buy healing potions). The way use it is same way with other items.
when on land mode, we can get a new movement, during this run with the land in the quest I get some movement out of the NPC it. New movement is very helpful in the fight later. For example, if we don’t have the movement to kick, we can not overcome the enemy Parry. Because Parry function is to repel the enemy's sword. For the new movement, simply follow the instructions on the key combination to press to use it. < 2. sea modeThis is my favorite mode, because we will be the pirate ship captain here that will destroy other pirate ships or the Europe army ship. Depending on the size of the ship's mission is executed, the larger ships will be more strong and resistant also more ship crew. to roll up the sail just pressing "up" button (default), and pressing "down" button (default) so that the ship became more slow or stop if you want to simply roll the screen of all, the ship will stop. To guidance it just press / hold "left" and "right" arrow.
Now to shoot, shoot for me for using the "square" on the joypad (I think the default is "left Klick"), shoot could only be done when we are in the distance and shoot at a position that allows for the shoot. Levels of accuracy and the number of bullet highly depends on the position and the distance between our ships and enemy ships, the conditions for it by see the circle that appears at the ship when the enemy in shoot range . every color circle has a distinctive meaning, such as:
a. orange cross hair
When the distance and position, we're not too good in the shoot , orange hair cross will appear on the enemy ship, when we shoot at the time such circumstances, the bullet is only shoot slightly and the accuracy is very bad
b. yellow cross hair
this is a sign that says the distance and position that we get quite ideal (are) in the shot.
c. green cross hair
this is a sign that says the distance and position that we get is the ideal in the shot. Conditions like this can make the result we shot a lot of the parts of enemy ships.

Shoot position is also influenced by the our circumstances ship itself, example
; cannon in the shell side of the ship can not be used because has damaged by enemy ship, then to shoot from side ship, will not be effective, or even can not shoot, this is not marked by the emergence of cross hair on the enemy ship (depending on which side is broken, can be right or left).
Damage to the ship can be seen from the sketch color of the ship have, such as:
a. green
when the sketch is still on the boat all green or a green part, then the green is still good, and does not need to repair.
b. yellow
when the sketch is still on the boat all yellow or a yellow part, then the yellow is slightly damaged, you should leave it first, because such damage is still in the stage light.
c.Orange-brown
blueprint on the ship when the color is orange or brown all one part, the part that is brownish orange is pretty severe damage, you should immediately repair it before it become red.
d. red
when the sketch on the boat is one of the red part, then the red meaning is destroyed, you should immediately repair the red part before all sketch become red, because when all is red, then our ship will wreck, and the game ended.

In each race in the sea, not probably not the crew or our enemy’s crew will plunged on sea when be shot. When this happens, immediately directed to the our crew ship / enemy’s crew who is plunged on the sea, so they will become our crew. When not taken immediately then the crew can fall into the sharks in the sea. (are you heartless? lol).

A ghost ship sometimes will appear at the sea (woooo scary ????) can not be destroyed, only the avoiding, as far as possible, because they will catch the crew soul and lives away . I play this game, when we run out of the soul of body, then the game ends (boat without a crew? Surely can not sails ... .. lol).

For items that can be used on this ship are:
a. sail kit
This item is used to repair a torn screen we shot a result of the opponent, if not immediately repaired boat we will not be able reach the maximum speed, so that the enemies will be easy to chase us.
b. hull kit
This item is used to repair wall damaged by the ship's boat and shot from the sea coral infected
c. cannon repair kit
This item is used to fix our broken cannon, cannon damaged will not be able to shoot, even though the distance and position of our ships have been ideal.
d. Barrel
These items are used as traps for the enemy ship, use this item when located in front of the enemy, because the barrel is a long time to explode.
e. Kraken bait
such as the barrel, this item serves to slow the pace for a few enemies at a time when the damage to the enemy ship with a giant octopus (I imagine how giant octopus is cooked in? Lol)

THE GREATEST FPS GAME I HAVE

2009-08-07T18:51:00.000-07:00

one month ago, I purchased this game. I choose this game because of previous experience based on the play Battlefield 1942. according to my expectation, in the battlefield 2, graphed better from Battlefield 1942 in terms of gameplay, not much different, because the both of them are the first person shooting genre. As in Battlefield 1942, on Battlefield 2 we can take a variety of vehicles such as a war tank, helicopter, boat, etc. For ease in controlling the vehicle, Battlefield 2 provides features 3rd person camera (see picture), so we can see all of our vehicle by 3Rd person side to make easy for the acceleration. However, this feature is not effective to use it when face the enemy, because it will be very difficult to shoot the enemy with a camera like this, because cross hair feature does not exist in the 3rd person camera, in the previous Battlefield 1942 has provided this feature also, so the veteran on Battlefield 1942 surely already know with this feature ^ _ ^. To play this game, we will select the team in play, for Battlefield 2 we can choose one of team provided in the game, depend on the selected map. There are 3 teams that can be selected that are MEC (Arabian), USMC (USA), and CHINA. The options for the army that will be played in this game is not much different with the other FPS games, for details were as follows: (just check the picture out)
1.Assault The type to attack and fight with a short distance, equipped with attacking gun to immobilize the opponent and also equipped with a grenade launcher , is effective to kill the soldier in the group. This soldier is also equipped with a flash bang to make the limit the enemy’s vision distance when they are approaching, so we can blurred, and hiding to attack. The Armor of this type is very good, then the body resistant will great when receiving shot around the body.
2.Sniper The type to attack and fight with long-distance, equipped with the special sniper rifle with a scope that can zoom for long distance. So, the enemy can be immobilized with a perfect accuracy to kill. CHINA and MEC has more advantages than USMC sniper, because they do not need to switch for recharge the bullets at any one time shoot, MEC and CHINA’s sniper can shoot continuously until the bullets runs out, and no need to exit the sniping. This type is also equipped with a hand grenades.
3.Combat medic This type is specially to helping a friend who hit by enemy, even for the dying soldier (wow ... ... ..). Equipped with the M16 rifle for USMC (hopefully correct ... .. lol), medical tool box and heart shocker for a dying friend. This type is also equipped with a hand grenades.
4.Support I called it as a running arsenal (lol), because the main function of this type is as an arsenal for friends. The soldier is equipped with a machine gun that the capacity up to 200 bullets once magazine. This type is also equipped with a hand grenades…. ”Incoming !!!!!!!” .
5.engineer Drive a vehicle without the engineer will be suck, because engineer work as a vehicle repair when get damage. This type is also equipped with a land mine that could blow tanks and other vehicles. Weapons held by this type is shotgun “I WILL blow your head (lol)” , it effective on close combat. This type is also equipped with a hand grenades.
6.Special forces This Soldier equipped with a laser to shoot, so effective for the both short – middle distances. The advantages of this type are they equipped with C4 to blow up the enemy, just place the c4 and hide, then take the remote by pressing the right click on your mouse, then left click to detonate the C4… ”fire in the hole !!!!!” This type is also equipped with a hand grenades.
7.Anti-Tank This is my favorite type of map that provides for the tank as a vehicle, “it's fun when you blow some tanks” (lol), requires at least 3 times to blow a tank by RPG (fuih .......). With weapons of war for the rifle range, this type into nightmare for both driver land and sea vehicles. For the aircraft unit is very difficult to shoot with its RPG, it takes great skill and calculation to be able to shoot a helicopter with a RPG (I successful take down a helicopter with RPG only 1 time .... Lol), but to combat jet, I think will not be able to shoot with the RPG, in Battlefield 2 has provided anti-aircraft to immobilize combat jets, Helicopters and choppers (cool ... .... just check the pic out).
Each soldiers has a type of knife and hand gun defense for the last shot when they gun out, a knife is very effective when the enemy is very close distance. In Battlefield 2 have features that use radio as a means of communication between the army as for giving orders, ask for help, even give the enemy position. Hold the "Q" and move the cursor to command, when you meet the enemies then you intend to give their position as a threat, just hold the "Q" and navigate it on "SPOTTED” to the enemy and left click on "SPOTTED" is (just check the pic out), then the enemies will be appear in the map with the red mark as a result, so your friends can know the exactly position of the enemies. If you do not have adequate internet connection you can play with friends by LAN features, but based on my experience, a LAN feature could work well when update your Battlefield 2 to patch 1.4.1. I think enough for now ... ... For further review, I will continue more later ... ..

WORLD WAR II FPS GAME

2009-08-06T17:16:00.000-07:00

I have been played this game since two years (i play it sometimes, but very intense in the first playing ...lol ) . and i will try to review this game for us.
i have played other First person Shooting Games that use modern war or world war as a back ground in the games, before I found this game. than i found something different in this game (battlefield 1942 and the other battlefield versions), the different that is very prominent from other First person Shooting Games such as the player can use any vehicles that available on battlefield 1942, and it is unique and very historically vehicle that is use in world war.
EA sport for the developer of this game has added bigger map on battlefield like using world war maps ( at for me this map as world war II, sorry for my knowledge lol),such as France,germany,england,Uni Soviet,Egypt,etc. So, you can get the latest available series of your battlefield 1942 to the internet for more maps, vehicles, bug fix, etc. it for your battlefieldfield 1942 best game. for the example of the bug, when the tanks moving you will see the soldiers in and out into a tank freely if you do not update your battlefield 1942 games, that is impossible in a real war,lol.
my favorite soldier is a combat medic, he can cure himself and other friends who can longer our live and our friends (that is why i like to use this soldier type, lol).
one of important thing is this game can play the multiplayer mode,(do you want to play it with me?) it is mean we can play multiplayer mode for online or Local Area Network (LAN). but before you do it on online or LAN, your version of BF 1942 game, must be same with your friends.
i like to use combat airplane in this game,because it fun to shoot your enemy from air and acceleration on enemy HQ.
with joypad, i can drive my plane easily,and with 3rd person camera, it is perfect.
i think enough for now, i will continue later..
i hope you like my experience with this game.

Thanks

Advantages:big map,can use any vehicle that available,great gameplay (it is my opinion, lol)

Disadvantages: the graphics is not special, but still good. some bugs still happened
