Faces of War

[AGENT15]

Faces of War.
It's a lot like Company of Heroes, but better and not as well known.

You can push over trees, use tanks or large explosives to deform buildings; whether in small chunks or destroying half the house in one blast. Craters from large bombs also are usable as cover, and infantry can hide in some. Also, the tank armor feature is incredible, some shells bounce or get deflected, some get stuck in the armor and mes sit up, some go right through the vehicle, and the vehicles are very deformable (and repairable.) A soldier could tank a gun off a truck (not really physics).

One cool thing is tracks can get destroyed, one or both. The gun barrel on a tank can get dislodged, but still shoot, just not move up and down. Turrets can fall off but the chassis still remain, many things can happen. Check it out!

Man u can do all those things in company of hero's but the only difference is that CoH does it GOOD, REALLY GOOD.

Well, really well...

Anyway, as blackwolf said, that description lists all of the things that Company of Heroes can already do. I may give this one a try simply because I loved CoH, but I doubt that it can really top it.

[Muntu]

It was good, but CoH is MUCH better...

[SlyTMan]

Anyone find it funny that faces of war was released the same day as gears of war?

[AGENT15]

I seriously doubt CoH can do anything better... I head that the bullet traces of CoH aren't even the real bullets. The bullets react differently from every gun to every surface, like some things can get shot through, some reflect bullets, adn some just lodge the bullets. If you can explain why CoH can do everything better, then please do but I head that CoH was only OK, and it doesn't even support windows 2000.

Well, CoH is more like Age of Empires, and FoW is more like... Commandos?...
Because you can't build anything in FoW... Or atleast i couldn't in the demo...
Go on, correct me if im wrong, but i like CoH more...

[AGENT15]

Yeah, your right. They re really different... Anyway, back on topic. What really impressed me is the armor system for vehicles. Anything can get damaged, and it won't affect the rest of the vehicle.

[Dj Demetrius]

Yes, CoH is more large-scale battles, and FoW is more of a sneaking game. Personally, I like CoH better.

[AquaGeneral]

CoH has better physics to start of anyway then FoW.

CoH clone alert!

[AGENT15]

Hahaha, AquaGeneral, are you trying to start a flame war? Shame on you.

DJ Demtrius, yes, that would be a good assumption, but Faces of War can support large scale battles easily. Multiplayer 4v4, for example, has dozen sof guys just going crazy.

[Korrow]

I personally prefer FoW to CoH because in FoW, the player can take control of the units. While pointing at a building to be destroyed is alright, nothing can compare with the feeling of taking it down bit by bit yourself.
I'm not really that evil, I promise.

[Juggz]

Thats why i own both, FoW for the control, CoH becuase of better graphics and physics

every one says this game has ragdolls but I played the demo and did not see any ragdoll so is there any?


I DID CHECK GOOGLE!

Same here, only thing I saw was boring old death animations

The reason I like this game is because it can actually run well on my computer... I haven't tried it since I got Windows Vista, though, I hope it still works. And, as I've said again and again, CoH would have been a worse game if FoW hadn't made it's gameplay so (realistically) tactical. I mean, in the demo, having somewhere around 20 shells (correct if I'm wrong, been a long time since I played the game) for your tank gets really annoying. I spend most of my time in the demo just trying to grab the Nebelwerfer before it runs out of shells and try to destroy as much of the city as I can....hehe.

Anyways, CoH is better just because they achieved a better balance between realism and gameplay value.

Actually they are coming out with a new faces of war that changes the gameplay to make it bettter. I saw some gameplay videos and it turns out to be looking better too.

Unfortunately they are coming out with a CoH expansion with "better physics, AI, and graphics," so it would seem poor Faces of War is down again. :'(

Gah, I really had my hopes up. I always supported face of war. Meh I guess it is time to make the change... to World in Conflict. :D
