Me, I do!! RO2 for $3.75 at gmg http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/action/red-orchestra-2-heroes-of-stalingrad/

GMG30-DPLIM-DN831 discount code

Or it's $8.75 if you want TF2 hats.

It's an attempt to make a more realistic WW2 FPS, and while it was a fun game when it was first released it was a bit of a loveable wreck mechanics wise. But a year and a half of patching later it's actually a legitimately good game now. The squad system works, the cover system is less obtuse, and just in general it feels better to play. Supposedly there is a Pacific Theatre map/conversion pack coming out soon.
I find it to be a fun large scale mixed arms realisticish WW2 game, if that at all sounds good to you give it a shot, it's f2p until tomorrow at 4 PM EST.

So if you want to get a squad going hit me up on steam.

In other PC genre gaming there is Company of Heroes 2 on the horizon.

The Humble THQ bundle is over there should be a good amount of people with keys to give away. I am always up to get some CoH team battles in, it'd be fun to get some 4v4s or somesuch going over winter break. So let's get on that. Company of heroes is 75% off on steam.

    I would play either of those games.

    Yes I would very much like that.

    I'm still downloading the main COH, and I need to get accustomed to that and Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor, but once I finally get all of that out of the way, I could definitely be up for team battles and junk!

    I got that THQ bundle, I don't think I got around to getting all the CoH bits but I can certainly do that if people are up for that.

    Men of War: Assault Squad is a great WW2 tactical game in the grand tradition of slightly wonky-yet-gritty-awesome mid-budget Russian productions!

    Most iterations of MoW are pretty lame but Assault Squad is really good multiplayer fun and you should all buy it on steam

    It's like Company of Heroes only rather more realistic in various ways (with worse graphics but better physics) and also it has the Japanese and Soviets! All the terrain is destructible and/or useable as cover! Tanks have discrete components and stuff!

    one time I drove a Cromwell through a church and crushed a Pak 40 emplacement I didn't even know was there but then the church sort of fell on my infantry following the Cromwell so the advance was a tactical failure

    oh also because Men of War was made by Russians all of the English and American voice acting, while done by legitimately Anglo-American VAs, is nonsensical direct translations of the Russian lines

    American GIs like to yell "For the motherland!" in midwestern accents

    If the enemy is in range they will notify you that "AIM IS IN THE REACH ZONE"

    but otherwise it's a good game! If you want a fix of meticulously modeled Soviet armor while waiting for CoH2 totes buy it bro


    Edit: @No Great Name I assumed the "etc" in the title meant other WW2 titles were okay to post about in here, yell if they aren't

    I haven't updated or played CoH in forever but if we get an SE++ game going I'd be all in on that too

    I got my Infantry Halftracks out and pinned him to his Party Truck

    "guess there is no counter to early halftracks huh?"
    "hey man I have no idea"
    *I roll an invincible Hetzer tank in*
