Your powerful tank can mow down smaller Allied vehicles and send enemy foot soldiers flying. The King Tiger mission starts off as an extremely satisfying romp in which you roll through the town, flushing out your foes. Firing the cannon is literally as easy as pointing and clicking, and there's a hovering crosshair that you can use to acquire targets as well. The Tiger Tank's powerful cannon has two different firing modes that use different shells (and switching between them requires a brief pause as your cannoneer swaps out shells): one mode is highly effective against enemy vehicles, and the other is more effective against buildings, emplacements, and infantry. This mission gave us a chance to try the new "direct fire" control mode, a toggle-able setting that lets you use your computer's mouse to freely rotate and aim your turret at different targets. And as part of Company of Heroes' role-playing game-like gameplay, your tank crew will be able to advance along certain skill lines that will result in immediate upgrades to the actual tank vehicle itself, such as increased firing speed or better handling. We played two missions that took place in a tiny French village which, during the war itself, was locked down against Allied reinforcements by the resourceful crew of a single King Tiger tank-in the game, your crew, and your tank.
Each character can carry infantry weapons in battle, and indeed, you'll need their abilities as foot soldiers to complete your missions. The game will offer three new campaigns, and we had a chance to try out a section of the Tiger Ace campaign, a series of Axis missions in which you'll take control of a German tank crew. Ride a tank, hold a general's rank in Tales of Valor. Please be advised that this preview may contain minor spoilers. We had a chance to dive into one of the new single-player missions and try out the new tank controls, which will be available for one of the most feared tanks in World War II, the King Tiger. Now, the game is set to return in a new add-on, Tales of Valor, which will offer three new single-player campaigns, along with new drivable multiplayer vehicles. The game turned heads with its explosive action and equally explosive environments its impressive technology built war-torn environments with plenty of fully destructible cover.
If you played 2006's Company of Heroes, you'll remember the game's distinctive look and feel-how, unlike other real-time strategy games, it wasn't about harvesting resources or building structures, but about commanding a small squadron of determined troops in tough battles.
