Thursday 05.04.2006 - General

The ‘Faces Of War’ provides a player with an enormous choice of destruction means: sub-machine guns, machine-guns, grenade launchers, cannons, jeeps, tanks, AA mounts, armored vehicles and many others. All of them are modeled using accurate drawings of real military vehicles, it helps to make the battle atmosphere even more realistic.

A player can capture any weapons, vehicles on the battlefield and use them in one’s discretion. For example a captured cannon can be rolled to the fire line and used to repel attacks of enemy tanks. The same goes for grenades or “Panzerfausts”. Dynamite can be used to undermine tanks.

The basic acting unit in Faces Of War is a squad. The squad commander is marked with yellow color, soldiers with green. Grey is the color of the units, which don’t belong to this squad, but they can be included into it. A squad follows its commander and executes his orders. It is player’s choice to assign a commander of a squad, include or exclude soldiers or control a separate unit.

Almost any object in the ‘Faces Of War’ can be used as a cover, which preserves a player from enemy fire. It gives a player a chance to apply various battle tactics and demonstrate realistic battles.

Previews! IGN & GameSpot give initial thoughts on Faces of War.

IGN Preview

With release only a few months away, the gang at Ubisoft have sent us a couple of playable levels from Faces of War, the new World War 2 RTS from 1C and Bestway. Designed as a sequel to 2004's Soldiers: Heroes of World War II, Faces of War ups the ante in virtually ever single area. Graphics, mission design, intensity, and multiplayer options have all been expanded well beyond what we saw in the original game. If the two levels we've played are any indication, Faces of War will definitely set a high bar for other RTS games released in 2006.

Can you make an innovative World War II strategy game in this day and age? Judging from what we've seen of Faces of War, the answer is yes.
