Satisfying Military Tactics

The story comes across as an entertaining B-picture, complete with FMV cutscenes and some absolutely ridiculous dialogue, but I wasn't expecting the amount of innovations in this game I wish were in other games! I really like the fact you gain money by capturing prisoners of war. It changes tactics from boring spam rushes of tanks when that means you kill everyone and lose the opportunity to arrest people. It feels very thematic to send in the marines to cuff survivors after battles and it allows you to manage your resources through your combat decisions. Your units gain experience from fights. It pays to keep an ambulance of medical chopper around to patch up your wounded veterans instead of just tossing them to the wolves without care. There's some surprisingly thematic ideas here like that that makes this game feel solidly like a modern military game. Enemy soldiers are easy to take out normally but when they get into vehicles or fortify a building suddenly you need to alter your approach. You can laboriously blow up the buildings they're hiding in...or if you're smart send in a team of soldiers to sweep the place with minimum casualties. There's so many little touches like that such as building tiers being Defcon conditions you need to activate and picture-in-picture videos showing what key moments in the story look like from the ground. You're dealing with terrorists so don't be surprised if you send in tanks without thinking...only to get them all destroyed by suicide trucks or missile launching enemies. Better make sure your marines are in APCs or taking cover in the trees. The graphics are pretty nice (especially the very pretty explosions) and run very fast! Music is thematic, vocals are appropriately gruff and there's a lot of comments your units can make given different conditions. This game goes wacky places in terms of gameplay and story but this keeps it fresh throughout! A fine tuned, thematic, fun RTS.

very good RTS

have never really played through the main campaign, tried it out but really lost interest, the skirmish mode however I have played very much and it is very addictive, you don't really need a 2ghz processor to play this it will run on less if you crank the details low. my only complaint would be the lack of larger maps to play on, it could do with a few more maps in general. if you enjoy RTS games then you will enjoy this one.

Great RTS, but ignore High Treason...

Not much I could add to Direct Action that hasn't already been said. Very playable overall, well-paced and engaging campaign with good voice acting, FMV cut scenes and a sensible computer opponent. All coupled with excellent game mechanics that can be as small scale as you'd want them to be. Tank-rushing the enemy RTS-style works, but you can also take a selection of dudes and focus on small unit tactics supported by a handful of vehicles. Move into ambush positions, flank, hide in buildings, make best use of every unit's special ability. You also don't necessarily need an entire blob of artillery or tanks because, individually, most units are quite powerful in their own right when used properly. High Treason on the other hand seems to hail from a different reality. There have been worthwhile changes and widescreen resolutions are now supported, but as for the single player campaign... oh boy, was this even designed by the same team? - Absolutely over-the-top difficulty to the point of being unplayable even on "easy" - Mission scripting that goes awry all too often, game-breaking bugs on certain missions - Frequent reloading coupled with very long load times - An AI that will most definitely, relentlessly spam you with large infantry squads, ground and air assets EVERY TEN SECONDS from ALL DIRECTIONS. There also doesn't seem a limit as to how many it can order - Sometimes, there's also a barracks (or two, or four...) in the middle of the wilderness just to spam more units. Or just infinite respawning enemies at the map edge, that also happens - By contrast, the player is put at a crippling disadvantage in most missions. Severe restrictions on which and how many units you can build, defensive structures declared "unavailable", too little money to defend AND attack, no prison/hospital to generate money from POWs You get the idea. It really isn't as simple as "get good". My advice: save yourself the headache and play Direct Action. It's a much better game.

Buggy mess

I have fond memories of playing this when it was first released, but today this game is a buggy mess with insane loading times, glitchy sound and memory issues.
