The Story:

The end of World War 2 brought with it the hope for a new world order, where global conflicts are dissolved and the wartime alliances between the Soviet Union and the US would usher in a lassing peace. But over time divergences became critically evident, and it was obvious that the two could not exist side-by-side. The Cold War was on.
Secretly the Russian started to build up armed forces. American Spy Sats picked up row apon row of T-80 U's being stockpiled into various bunkers under Russian coastlines. Russia slowly started to destroy its own economy from the inside by funding this project and at last when they discovered they bankrupt themselves all hell broke loose. Russian forces marched far west and started to attack Europe and Eastern Germany. NATO forces scrambled to halt USSR forces and succeded in protecting France, however without American aid all will be lost.
But the Russians arent that much interested in capturing the EU, they have more sinister plans and are plotting on their not-so-far US cousins.

My comment:

The ups:

• All new HUB and user interface
• Unique story-line that sounds very realistic
• Real life Tactical aid has some amazing features and the effects are breathtaking
• Tough missions!

The D-d-d-owns

• Not very unique factions nor is the units
• Basic means of victory, kill or be killed.
• Missions are time consuming, needing about 40 to 80 minutes to finish 1 mission
• Bad internet support and alot of online game crashes
• No base building, you call in ur units (Althought this might be a Pro for other gamers)

Final Score:

Story: 3/5
Gameplay: 5/5
Graphix: 5/5
Originality: 3/5
Total: 80%

"A real life pending disaster in game, choice!"
