Soldiers:Heroes of WW2 vs Faces of War

[thegrindre]

how can you say about realism then say about Company of Heroes...

I think you missed my point, I think CoH stinks. Having to capture a 'circle' instead of a city block or a farm area or a river bank is ridicules and very unrealistic in my eyes. Then adding a time factor makes it stupid. There shouldn't be a time limit, it could, in theory, take days or weeks or even longer to control an area, not 6 and a half minutes or what ever it is. You should have the opportunity to be able to play for days, if necessary, using strategy and tactics instead of speed.

My point was, that MoW seems to be following this same pattern and I don't like it. I didn't say I wouldn't buy it but, I'm not going to play MP if this is going to be the pattern I'll have to follow.
I only hope the SP option will give me the opportunity to play at my own pace similar to FoW.

I will give MoW a try but, if it copies CoH, I'll be looking for another war game to play and Soldiers may be the one. It seems to have a lot of third party support although I do like FoW a lot.
I've never played SHoWW2 and that's what I'm trying to find out from all of you guys. Is it the better war game then FoW?
I know it's older and the graphics aren't as good but, is the strategy and tactics better?

Soldiers? ..the best ...and about graphics...with soldiers details exception.. Soldiers graphic is better, is giving you a more real feeling then fow graphic.

So thegrindre, let fow away and play Soldiers, and I am sure you will not be dissapointed.
The SP campaign is much better than fow one.

I'm agreed, again.

It will be the best purchase in your life if you examine the price/value of this great game... a tons of mp/sp mods. A modding community still alive and productive. All for 5$.
