Aye - the Soviet missions were the best - a hell of alot of fun.

Martlet - the game is very scripted but does a good job of creating atmosphere.  As far as single player FPS's go, Id say its probably the best - far better than MOH, IMO.

Great game! You're in for a lot of fun... just you wait for that Russian mission where you have to defend a building .... from storm of Panzergrenadiers...and tanks. Took me a few tries...

It got kind of samey though, with a few nice touches. I tend to suffer from a kind of 'machinegun fatigue' after a while, where I you no longer appreciate what you're doing and just shoot anything that moves.

Definitively. The best ww2 ambient I've ever seen in a game (BTW also the best 3D effects). Putting these effects and inmersion into Flash Point would result in the best WW2 game ever done.

Get it and try to complete the first 3 missions in the hardest level ...

The box indicates it requires DX9 but works fine with DX8.

I was a bit shocked at the frame rate hit on the Stalingrad start! Been running along nicely till then.

What settings do people use.

xp2000
1024 DDR 2100
Audigy Player
Geforce 5700 Ultra 128mb

I guess it's a very busy scene right enough. I'll try turning settings down a bit.

Yes it is worth  getting. Contrary to opinion, I don't think it's good as MOH although the sqaudmates are better. Nothing harder than the Command Post in MOH!
