Battalion Wars

Lemming

Just picked this game up for 20 bucks from EB, new, and I'm on the third mission. Stupid gunship keeps killing my recon.

I don't have an impressive first post, but I only remember seeing a thread once and I didn't have the game back then. Definitely worth 20 bucks though. I love the visual style as well.

How long is it? I just started, and I'd like an idea of how long it lasts. Pity there isn't multiplayer. This makes me excited for BWii, though.

BWii is a fantastic name for the sequal, in every way.


that is all.

Lemming

Wow, this game is hard

I had to redo the fifth mission three times :O

DHS Odium

I loved it, it's short though. Took me 4 hours to beat it, including one of the bonus missions. I haven't gotten around to the other 3 bonus missions though, they are hard.

I hear BWii is just BW with online multiplayer. Does anyone know if that is true?

Si Senor

I love it, but I can't figure out why I keep losing. I mean, first I attack the anti air units with my helicopter...

False. 15-20 all new missions. Co-op. Then online in addition to that.

Do we have any idea when this is coming?

I've had it for a while, but I stillhaven't beat it yet. I like the missions where you tool around on jeeps the best.

I bought this for 12 dollars new near the Wii launch, and have yet to touch it. Too many games to beat...

Ha ha ha.

New: $9.99
Used: $17.99

Lemming

Well, considering I already bought it, buying another copy is pointless :P

I don't mind though, it's very worth $20.

One Thousand Cables

I bought this recently as well, and so far the Beach Head mission is maddening.

The one with the flagpole and the castle?

Yeah, that one's a bitch. I can't beat it still.

[spoiler:049e1a7fa4]I put my artillery on those raised areas on the right and left sides, one in each, and told my infantry to stay put in front of the entrance to the capture point, then kept my antiair a little behind them and would switch between that and the heavy recon. It seemed to work pretty well, I was able to beat it like that.[/spoiler:049e1a7fa4]

It IS a hard game, though :P

I got this for $10 Canadian during that unannounced specials week at EB a few months back.

I can't see how you're getting killed. I finished the game without dying once.

Fun game, really wish they would've added a multiplayer mode-- if even only split screen or system link.

Gaming-Module

I can't decide whether I should grab BW for $10 at Gamestop or GUN over at Gogamer for $18 shipped from their 48 hour madness thing.

*sigh*

I've been waiting to get this cheap, and Imran, you hath solved the problem. I'll be sending my first-born son to you whenever he comes around.

With that said, I cannot wait for BWii. Looks absolutely fantastic.

t Si Senor - hey look, it's a helicopter! Storm the base!

Kiwistrike

agh does anyone know why my visa debit card wont work with gamestop?

METAzraeL

You'll have to post your number and identifying information so we can troubleshoot you

What exactly is it saying the problem is?

Kiwistrike

I dont really remember but Ive tried twice in the past and it just says something to the effect of: "We had trouble processing your order, it got cancelled."

Considering my card is a bank of america visa debit, which should work in other galaxies let alone local retailers, it sort of surprises me. I didnt really care until now.

Wezoin

When I saw the price online I was all "OH GOD MUST BUY" but went into mine and they're all "Nope, 49.99 bitch."

Think they'd pricematch the site if I decided to be a cockmonkey and insist? (Keep in mind this is a canadian store)

DeaconKnowledge

I'm waiting for the Wii version of this, especially since i missed the 10 dollar EB deal the other day.

Bee-Wii, nice phonetically.

BW ii - Batalion wars 2 in roman numerals.

B-Wii, encorporates the name of the console into the title, but in a subtle way, not like adding 64 suffix or super prefix to n64/snes games.

superb name. imo

METAzraeL

I say it bwee, and I love it.

Xhaztol

lol durotar

FreddyD

This game reminds me a lot of Team Buddies? Are they similar?

Lemming

Wow

Uh

Was that it?

That was really freaking short.

I like this game, but I haven't finished it yet. How many missions are there? I'm hoping to find a game that I can get totally into and then finish in a weekend. Is this the one?

I'm having problems with this level, too. The controls get to me a little, but I think I'm just lazy. Now if those soldiers would just man the gun nests like I told them too...
