Faces of War; another WW2 RTS Demo out.

[MONOLITH]

Looks like Ubisoft's answer to THQ's 'Company of Heroes'.

Demo is out.

Just played a few minutes of it.

Looks pretty nice. Graphics are really good, and it ran incredibly smooth even at a high resolution with the textures kicked up.

The demo can be set to play itself out automatically so you can just watch it play out.

Doesn't have that cool gritty look of COH, this is a little more 'soft and cartoony'. The demo is at night though, don't know what the daylight stuff will look like.

Could be a good RTS game though.

Interesting.

Now there's a brilliant tactic. Let's rush the larger, entrenched enemy force head-on and without cover. :tongue:

Looks like a nice game though. Thanks!

One thing I did notice, is some possible AI issues.

It's possible there's a setting I missed, since the demo doesn't walk you through the controls but just dumps you out there.

But I did notice that when my group of guys came under enemy fire, they just stood there standing straight up getting shot, until I manually hit the 'lay down' button. Ironically, just like the picture above.

Mike, did you try Company of Heroes? I do think it's probably the superior game. Single player demo is out.
