<font color="cyan">Reffering to the game by Pyro studios. Wanted the second in the series for ages!

I played the first one til it's death, but only got this one today. Had a brief go, looks good!

Just wondering what you thought?</font>

Nanobyte 01-18-2003 07:50 PM

I played the first pretty thoroughly. I remember, particularly, the one level where you're assigned the spy to assassinate one man. It was a good game at the time. I don't have the second however.

johnny 01-18-2003 07:53 PM

Great game, that's one of those games i can't let go. When i got it, i played non stop, until i finished it, took me a little more than a day. Very addictive.

Paladin2000 01-19-2003 05:21 AM

Great game. Finished it a couple of months ago. The game is huge because there are a lot of enemies to be disabled within the building and many of those buildings are huge! The musical score is nice too, especially the ones in the icy land (I think it is north pole of something).

Since most of the members can disble and tie enemies up, the game rewards you by killing as few guards as possible.

Oh, I think the topic should be in the Miscellaneous CRPG forum.

<font color="cyan">It isn't another RPG. We're allowed to post about other games in General Discussion, as it falls under General Discussion. Ok?

Yeah, I played it last night, and finally completed my mission at 3am. Didn't realise it was SO late!

Seems pretty cool though! I'm gonna go for a closer look in about 20mins!</font>

johnny 01-19-2003 07:53 AM

Especially the molotov cocktails are fun. I threw one one a group of Japanese soldiers who were all standing together, there wasn't much left of them afterwards. :D

Hey, I am not trying to be a smartass but lately quite a number of topics about games are being moved there and I just want to mention that if this topic disappears, you will know where it gone to. ;)

Anyway, I favorite tactic is the cigarette-noise maker-distraction. Place a noise maker in a strategic location and then throw a cigarette pack to distract the guard, while he is checking out the cigarette, activate the nosie maker to lure him further away and then... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

No, it's not a FPS. Check out these screenshots: http://www.neoseeker.com/Games/Produ...2/screens.html

The view reminds me of “Crusader: no Remorse” and “Crusader not regret”. I found these two games to be extremely entertaining, is the Commando game similar to these?

Is this game, Commando 2, considered a role-playing game?

johnny 01-19-2003 08:27 AM

I'm not sure how you call that type of game. It's more like a big puzzle. There are guards all over the place, and they all have a certain line of sight. You have to try and sneak your way into the enemy camp and kill as much enemies along the way. There are already a few games like this on the market. First there's Commando's + the expansion for that game, commando's 2, Desperado's, and most recently Robin Hood hit the stores. Exept for Robin Hood, i've played them all, and enjoyed them very much.

<font color="cyan">Got any screenies of Robin Hood?

I own Desperados as well. That was ok, but I never finished it. Got near the end, and just got bored. Ah well!

I'm on the 2nd real mission, I can't find the keys to the prison! Grrrr. No Spoilors thanx!</font>

Borvik 01-19-2003 11:28 AM

Forget about Robin Hood except you are really a maniac concerning this type of games. There are only a handfull of maps, which you visit over and over again (at least the missions and enemies change) I stopped playing it a week or two ago, because I had to play the same map again, because of a mistake... It's nice in the beginning, but then it becomes really boring. Desperados is way better!!

9_1_6 01-19-2003 11:37 AM

Isn't there are game of this type that will come out soon.. but this game is about Dracula, yes?

Lavindathar 01-19-2003 11:46 AM

<font color="cyan">Borvick, I totally disagree with you. Commandos 2 is an improvement on Desperados, just like Depserados was an imrpovement on Commandos 1.</font>

johnny 01-19-2003 02:13 PM

Lavi, i found these: http://www.pcgameworld.com/screenthu...d_of_Sherwood/

Lavindathar 01-19-2003 05:43 PM

<font color="cyan">Thanx Johhny.

Liked the look until it went 3d.

Now, why DID it do that? Is the game split into strategy/3d?</font>

Lavindathar 01-19-2003 09:00 PM

<font color="cyan">On the White Killer (Number 3 - Snow one) mission now, it's pretty cool!

If only I knew where Theify was!</font>

Cloudbringer 01-20-2003 12:43 AM

Sounds like an interesting game. Do you need to play the first one to be able to run the second one?

Nope. It is a sequel not an expansion. But if you liked the first one, you will definately enjoy this one. I think this game can be categorized as (realtime)tactical squad game but the focus is on stealth rather than brute force.

Oh, I didn't want to say, that Desperados is better than Commandos2. What I meant was, that Desperados is better than Robin Hood (RH didn't improve anything!!!) And Commandos2 is definitely the best of all! I'm now playing the 9th map/level (the bonus levels not counted).

But I'm playing it the other way... (I'm stockpiling the enemies - evil me...)

Next time I play it, I'll try it the way, the designers intended that it's played.

I never played either,but sometimes by the time a 2nd game is out the first one is hard or impossible to find!

Nanobyte...umm, ?? LOL I don't know about the 22nd, why? You expecting a storm? :D :D

Unless you are cheating (I am NOT accusing you), this game is extremely hard if you play it like Command And Conquer.

No problem Cloudy. In case if you were wondering, Commando 2 is better than its predecessor. IMO of course.

Oops. My mistake.. It's the 23rd. [img]graemlins/stormy.gif[/img]

Lavindathar 01-20-2003 01:31 PM

<font color="cyan">My mistake Borvik.

So is Robin Hood not worth getting?

Check out Commandos 3 trailor at Pyro Studios

Looks ace!</font>

Paladin2000 01-20-2003 01:35 PM

NICE!!! I hope Commando III will come out soon.
