Graviteam Tactics: Mius-Front comes closer than any other game I have yet played to representing the complex situational challenges of the battlefield. It is a superb game, limited only by a weak marketing, that every serious war gamer should definitely have in his or her stable. Graviteam has clearly been designed by a team with a deep understanding of military tactics and a passion for realism and historical accuracy. I can't praise the game highly enough and I can only say to those of you who have not yet purchased it, or who gave up on Graviteam because of its complexity, that you are missing out on the opportunity to experience and contribute to the finest war simulation ever made.

I'am a big fan of this series since 1998 and since then this game changed little but in its simplicity this is one of the best RTS out there in representing the true tactics of WWII. This is also the RTS that brought me in RTS genre and one of the first bringing this depth on PC gaming so it's not just a normal RTS but a piece of history that all RTS players should have played at least once.

Same engine of CC Caen , not yet the 3D CC we waiting for (The Bloody First ... HYPE), BUT this CC, like all the other, it's awesome to play!. CC Caen was with British, now you control American forces so the gameplay is also pretty different ( no more 17 pdr :( ) Considering the average steam game, the price is high, but this is a very niche series where you "play" with real history. The units, the maps, the battle order, the unit composition, everything is historical accurate so you are not only playing but also learning WWII military history. It's like opening an Interactive Osprey book, and one Osprey book cost around £12, so as one enjoying Osprey books is not a problem to pay the price and support this series. Obviously not a game for all, if you think to play this in a superficial way, without paying attention to the details put in to the game and you don't care about real history, then for you it may be just an old school overpriced 2D RTS. cheers

Graviteam Tactics comes closer than any other game I have yet played to representing the complex situational challenges of the WW2 battlefield. It is a superb game, limited only by a clunky interface and weak marketing, that every serious war gamer should definitely have in his or her stable. Graviteam has clearly been designed by a team with a deep understanding of military tactics and a passion for realism and historical accuracy. I can't praise the game highly enough and I can only say to those of you who have not yet purchased it, or who gave up on Graviteam because the interface had you baffled, that you are missing out on the opportunity to experience and contribute to the finest WW2 simulation ever made.

I waited more than one year before reviewing this game, as a sign of respect for its developers and to try write a complete and honest review. Now I think I gave them enough time to fix their game and to prove they care about their costumers, and I'am sorry but they failed... What to say ? AS2 and its developers for me in 3 words ? .. A BIG DELUSION ! On AS1 I had lot of hours of fun, even if to be sincere 95% of my hours on AS1 were spent with the German Soldiers Mod, a realism mod, so I give credits to DMS for making the basic game but if was not for Blubork's GSM and all the MoW modders, I'am not sure about how many hours I could have on AS1. So in general from MOW to AS1 for me nothing big changed (not that other MOW titles brought bigger changes) if not improved graphic and other little details, main improvements arrived thanks to the evolving of the German Soldiers Mod and new models by MoW modders, but all in all I was happy with the AS1 platform, they even released free updates with new models, and from time to time I could have fun with the vanilla game too, even if nothing serious. Main problems of AS1 vanilla for me were the artificial weapon datas and in general the lack of realism, not that MOW had more realism, for example regarding ranges AS1 was a step forward, but with AS1 in my opinion the gameplay went even more fast paced and more COH oriented, I always disagreed with the payback mechanic, I find helping a player losing its units totally unfit for Real-Time-STRATEGY. So when AS2 was announced I went on AS2 forum and asked personally to devs if AS2 was going to be a more realism oriented game, not a sim, just more realistic, and they put there the fact that they were going to implement realistic weapon datas, I also asked them if they were planning to implement a territory mode like I suggested in the past and again they answered me that something was coming to satisfy this thing too. So as I'am a positive person and I like to help who deserve it, I was super happy and I decided to help in the funding of their future CTA title too, even if I was not really interested in a post WWII era MoW. Then the big day to try AS2 arrived... ...and this sadly was my first reaction after trying it (was obviously in italian but I'll try to translate it : ) ) "What the ?? are you kidding me" Yes, it can sound rude but this sincerely was my reaction when trying AS2 for the first time. Performances were terrible (but it was beta so at that time I still had hope here), improvements compared to AS1 ? little to nothing , but what's worst.... Ranges were reduced and the gameplay was damn fast paced, maps had a terrible artificial arena look and were damn small, nothing like my suggested territory mode, instead an extreme battle zone mode that had nothing to do with what I suggested, even the realistic weapon datas were not that realistic as the Tiger tank could "360 non scope" in one second with its famously and historically known SLOW turret traverse. So for the vanilla game was a total delusion, however the full steam implementation was a nice thing and my thought was that performances could improve as promised and once GSM was released then I could just play that so the COH like gameplay was not an huge problem, even if having to always rely on mods to enjoy a game to be sincere is quite annoying. No less I even created an AS2 thread on the most famous Italian tech forum, I was still supporting the devs despite the problems and failed expectations. After months of waiting I realized I passed more time on the AS2 hub than in game as the game performances were terrible and the vanilla game gameplay a total rush and grenade spam that I was unable to enjoy. Again, I tried to stay positive and give my best to stay present on the AS2 hub and give suggestions, I invested my precious time there but what I discovered was just that, even with their community the Devs were doing a terrible job, threads locked, people banned, not a sign of listening to player suggestions, even Devs replying to suggestion in a quite arrogant way or over-defending their product and vision of the game at all costs, making you feel like a and totally impotent toward the series future. I was speechless and deluded, I was no more able to recognize the devs I used to like and I h

Best military sandbox full around . Love how bohemia decided to work with full transparency and intensive test /feedback by the community every developer should do it Open Alpha Open Beta and all with a feedback tracker this is the way. Its true we donìt have many of the most requested features by the community but the game all in all is enjoyable and what is there is polished . then we can be sure that more cool things will come in the future this game will keep improving with patch after patch now that they released it and they can risk more I give it a 8 because there is a lack of main features requested by the community if I had to consider just that I paid it 25 then quality/price I would give this game maybe a 9

waited years and paid lot of bucks for what a F**kin BETA ???? the other sad thing is that the worst total war ever made is also the one in my favorite era .... thanks CA and SEGA you really deserve my ZERO
