I have Windows 7 and it's work perfectly, sorry for the people who don't, but i don't detect any bugs, or any problems with the game, i can only commend this game to people who have windows 7 ultimate, i don't know if it works in any other version or OS. Now with halloween discount it is at 0,79 really cheap for a great game. Enjoy!

I can confirm that the game is running nicely on WINDOWS 8.1 x64 without any tweaking or adjustments whatsoever. Multiplayer over LAN works as intented too, you just need to run the server app located in the game directory. Multiplayer over internet is not working on my end, trying to figure that out , maybe it doest work that way. All in all , an excellent classic game whose life got extended with the modern systems patch. Thanks devs :)

8 new levels, its an expansion to the original, more fun although i did run into a lot of technical issues that i didnt have in the first one.
Must have a lot of patience to play.

Z czystym sumieniem polecam grę każdemu, kto lubi się trochę pomęczyć z rozgrywką.
Grę przechodziło się niejednokrotnie. Porządna grafika jak na tamte lata, oraz przełomowość gry sprawiły, że zapisała się do legend.
Miło było powrócić znów na front i poprowadzić naszą ekipę ku zwycięstwu ;)
Co prawda zdarzają się bugi, czy nierealne wydarzenia, po których trzeba wczytać szybki zapis, lub zacząć grę od nowa, co czasami bywa irytujące. Jednak do gry wracam co jakiś czas i przechodzę od początku do końca. Z drugiej strony nie polecam osobą, które stawiają na dynamikę akcji, grafikę, czy prowadzenie za rączkę przez misje.

Klasyczna gra strategiczna.
Jeśli interesujesz się drugą wojną światową, jesteś zapalonym graczam klasyków alblo RTSów i lubisz wyzwanie to jest to gra dla Ciebie! Przeciwnicy nieraz dadzą nam w kość i pokażą nam, że rzucenie się w pojedynkę na 4 przeciwników nie skończy się ich śmiercią i czerwonym ekranem z wielkim napisem "YOU ARE HURT TAKE COVER!". W tej grze każdą misję możemy opracować na swój sposób, a może nawet gra zmusza nas do tego. Wielokrotnie coś pójdzie nie tak i będziemy musieli improwizować. Ta gra to klasyka gatunku i jeśli jest w promocji warto poświęcić na nią kilka groszy, ze względu na to, że seria Commandos jest czymś unikatowym i niepowtarzalnym.

Background:
Purchased as part of a bundle from Bundle Stars. I played the first two games in the series to death back when they came out.

Impressions:
The game stands up today much as it did when it came out. It's a damn fine strategy game that's a blast to play and highly rewarding. However unlike it's predecessor this game is more of an expansion pack, with only 8 missions they instead ramped the difficulty to near frustrating levels.

While still fun and rewarding for the most part I really started to detest the 'mansion kidnap', 'rail yard' and final mission for the sheer bloody minded difficulty of sections those missions where trail and error started to get irritating.

There are some missteps for sure with elements that are seemingly only solvable in a single method and theres one right in the first mission that can leave you stranded just as you thought you were done and you have to go back a few saves or even start again.


Fixes:
As with Behind enemy lines there are a number of serious issues with the game on a modern PC that make it almost unplayable.

See the page on the 'Commandos Wikia' for 'Commandos: Beyond the call of Duty Fixes' for a collection of bug fixes to stabilise the game and make it playable.

The Good:
*A classic formula that stands up today for it's simplicity and functions.
*Missions can be tackled many ways.
*The settings have a historical context and introduced as such.
*Missions are huge and diverse.
*Fast save/load system makes experimentation less frustrating than you'd think.
*Huge sense of triumph from executing a plan that takes out even a single awkward guard.
*Looks pretty good considering it's age.
*New mechanics, some of which are interesting and alter your tactics.

The Bad:
*Installs ok on Steam but multi-core affinity issues requires some manual tweaking.
*Many missions have sections where there is only one practical solution.
*The difficulty level is a massive leap up upward over the original game.
*A new character only appears in a single mission.
*Cigarette packs effectively give everyone a Decoy box, messing with the balance.
*Shorter tougher campaign.

Recommended for: War, Action and isometric strategy fans and fans of the original.

Conclusion.
7/10. Once the stability issue is fixed it's a reasonable follow up to the original.

The Commandos series are one of my favorite childhood games. I bought the Commandos collection, great games, worth every penny.

10/10

I highly recommend buying the collection.

P.S. Running great on Windows 8.1 x64 with no speed problems/compability issues.

Very nostalgic real-time strategy games. Tons of content and hours of fun. Try perfecting it without using the cheats :)

Fantastic game, absolute classic!

Not suitable for newer OS. I have win7, and the game keeps jamming, I couldnt get any help from the forums. I do not recommend for newer systems. I love the game though, its challenging, but the fact it doesnt work on my pc drives me crazy.

This goes for steam and not for the game, steam guys, why are you sellings games that doesn't work??? I had to fix a bug problem looking on forums wich made imposible to save game, and after that the game crashes on the main menu or in the esc menu. Really, why do I need to create an account to get support if I already have my steam account, lookes like a trick to avoid giving support to your users..

This review is in "English/Portuguese"

English:

If you want a real challange, buy any commandos series, but this one may be the hardest, after all, this was the one with "fewer" ways to kill in commando's series (if you can apply this word in a game with so many ways to kill), you will fry your brain with this awesome game!

Portuguese:

Se você quer um desafio de verdade, compre qualquer série de Commandos, mas esta é a mais difícil, afinal, esta possui a "menor" quantidade de meios para matar na séries commandos (se é que da para aplicar esta palavra em um jogo com tantas maneiras de matar), você vai fritar seu cérebro neste jogo incrível!

I do recommend this game. It is the one and only Commandos that we have. Please make a new game like this one exactly the same but works with HD graphics and no time or problems with save then see what happens...

Love - Commandos Rulez...

Old school funn!

First Commandos game by Eidos and at that it is one of the best. Old school game w/ isometric camera.
If you want difficulty, meticulously orchestrated plan to take down enemy, and hardcore gameplay, THIS is the game for you. Believe me when I say its hard...it IS very hard game. Though playing and killing enemies w/ perfect planning will give you immense satisfaction.
Just keep in mind 2 things:
- There are little bit of glitches when killing enemies...so try to take them out in small group, one group AT A TIME.
- SAVE the game after each encounter. You don't know what will happen if you mess up your plan, because you will die a lot if you think running and gunning will get you far.
In reality, this game tried to portray the hardcore situation of WWII. You won't regret it. Get it and play it.
NOTE: You may be surprised to know that all commandos game share real life areas that you probably have seen in history channel or other historical photos!

Very similar to Behind Enemy Lines, but shorter and a little harder.

The best part of all the series is that one can feel the WWII environment with roads paved with cobblestones, old buildings, rail lines, and tanks & guns. The graphics is excellent if one compares to games published during 1999. The game requires patience and sometimes tough to play, but at the end it gives immense satisfaction. Please note that its not a first-person-shooter game, but it gives a birds eye view to play the game with real time strategies.

An impressive Real-Time Tactics game with good Co-Op. Improved resolution. new skills, new equipment, two new allies and eight new missions!

A classic and clean brainy game i finished this 3 times until now although this commandos is my most hated one but still it is commandos but i still like to finish it over and over again because it is a reasonable hardcore!
