One of the best damn military games out there.

I played the expasion pack for this game called Ten Hammers - which was really cool and I liked it - so I decided to buy the orginal one "FSW" and I'm not dissapointed at all. I recommend this game every person who like tactic games.

I never thought I'd see an opening splash screen lag so badly. However, when I got to the main menu, I felt a surge of hope the game would actually run better. Everything was going so smoothly, that is, until I went into a mission.


I honestly wouldn't buy this, regardless of how cheap you may find it in future sales. I'm sure it was perfectly fine, if only it ran higher than around 5 fps (and .02 FPS for the splash screen). I cannot reccomend this whatsoever.


DO NOT BUY!

EDIT - I don't have a bad computer, granted its not running a GTX Titan, it should be able to run anything (maybe with lower settings), and well meets the system requirements to run THIS game. At the time, I was using a weaker PC, but it wasn't terrible either. In comparison to other games I was playing at the time, this game looked worse, and had abysmal performance. Anyone questioning my PC should consider that the begging screen (when they show the publisher/dev) shouldn't have been going at such a low frame rate (taking minutes for a 15 - 20 second animation) regardless of my hardware. Even at the lowest setting I could run this at, it the framefrate really tanked. I'll launch it up to see if my current PC does any better, but still, my review stands.

Too bad!! This game totally can't run right now. It has many bugs in new pc, in win7 and no one want to fix it. It should have a patch.

this game is a classic for ps2 but worth it to buy it again on pc if you want better grapics and quality on the sound but valve should make the steam os system that it can get this game and make the controller settings on then this game would be back =D

This is a very tentative recommendation. I really want to love this game to bits. It creates a really interesting small scale tactical experience that I've never seen in another game. It is not a shooter. Don't expect something like Conflict Desert Storm.

The problem is this game is fairly broken. There's horrendous performance issues and the sound is bugged to hell.

The performance issues are largely caused by the game constantly trying to contact a server that no longer exists. To find this you can add the following line to your hosts file: "127.0.0.1 fswpc.available.gamespy.com"

If you don't know what a hosts file is you probably shouldn't try to attempt this. It's a system file and that means it's serious business.

The sound problems have no simple fix. You'll just have to live with constantly glitched sound if you want to experience this game.
