Reminds me of the Blitzkrieg demo which was very enjoyable and I still have on my desktop and play it from time to time.

Looks kinda cool but from looking over the site, I bet it is not very historicaly acurate.

Unless the web guys are not really part of the team.

like this from the Panzer 4 description...

The longer barrel proved itself primarily during the Russian campaign. As before, the Russian tanks seemed to be immune against the smaller cannons of the Germans - the F2 changed this drastically. Still, the Russian 'Panzer Rifles' were a big threat to the side armor of the Panzer IV. Subsequently, armor skirts were added to protect the drives and turret. This upgrade turned out to be amazingly resistant against hollow point ammunition.

...or they used translation service (or web developer) which didn't had enough knowledge about this issue.

DLed it when it was released - pretty enjoyable.

It strikes a middleground between 'realism' and 'fun.'

Been looking for a site that allows downloads of demos without having to join or get a face full of pop-ups.  Is there one out there?

Title: Panzers Demo finally out... check this one out.
Post by: Octavius on May 09, 2004, 12:14:18 PM

The demo was pretty neat I thought :)  I like the gameplay too.  It's not cheese like sudden strike - Kinda reminds me of a complex and more tactical C&C Generals.

I particularly liked the semi-accurate armour weak spots for tanks/vehicles... and the infantry tactics are also neat.

I think i'll be buying htis

(http://www.computerpannen.com/cwm/cwm/cwm/eek2.gif) THAT rocks.  It looks like the same exact engine as Panzers, only a little better :)  

I guess thats the next generation of RTS games... the melding of RTS *and* first person control styles of gameplay.  Very cool.  You could even say it has an Diablo-esque feel to it by scavenging for weapons and customizing each individual soldier.  Man, I want that NOW.



Muck, I got my copy from 3dgamers I think... dont remember having to subscribe.

or try Filefront.. no need to subscribe:  http://files.filefront.com/2952633

Christ thats hard... I cant get past the first (only?) level.

The controls in this game are terrible. The micromanagement is garbage as well. It could be fun, but it is trying to be way too complicated.

Post by: Hokum79 on May 26, 2004, 08:57:06 AM

Agreed, your soldiers need to react by themselves better
*For God's sake use this freaking bazooka!!!!*

But the graphics and the amount of detail are impressive, it's nice to be able to throw grenades in the windows, to see soldiers' helmets fly off, etc.

To pass the level, you have some crates lying around. The molotov cocktail works well. Then you'll have two shermans to clean the city. ah the joy of blowing up buildings...

What a waste of time. This is the crappiest game I've ever played.

WoW! That looks like amazing fun! is it out in the stores yet???

Post by: Octavius on May 26, 2004, 11:44:23 AM

I thought it was pretty good once you get past the weird controls.  Took me a few minutes to figure out the controls - hopefully they'll be fully remappable in the full version.  And the inventory screen for each soldier should pause the game or something.  Zoom should be able to zoom in further :)

After my sherman was destroyed I removed the .30 caliber machine gun and went Rambo on their asses.  Direct control of one soldier is fun.  The ability to search for weapons and ammunition is great - the MG34 also rocks.

Amen. Would be a ***** in multiplayer tough...

I cant get thru the mission, i park my sherman in the intersection with cover from the AT gun, i send my driver to man the AT gun but no luck...
