Today we are going to be reviewing a half life 2 modification called resistance and liberation. This game is supposed to be some kind of world war two combat simulator. At the start you have the choice between two teams, the Germans and the Americans.
The common German soldier is armed with a chits bolt action piece of garbage that your grandfather likely served with in the First World War. While the Americans have their fancy pants shiny new semi automatic superior rifle. So right off the bat, the two teams are UN even, but I guess it adds to realism.Well at least its better than battlefield 1943, which gave the Japanese soldiers rescinded ml garlands to keep the teams fair. Yea, you see this? Its an ml grand right ? Huh? No. THIS is an ml grand that thing is a type 5.
What's a type 5 you ask? Well it was a real Japanese rifle, but only 250 were made, and they were never put into service. I thought you were supposed to be making a history game EAI. Anyways, each team has different squads, and those squads are composed of different units. These units can usually impose of a squad leader, or NCO, a support gunner armed with an automatic machine gun, a rifleman, and possibly a sniper.The standard rifle man has two hand grenades (which are nearly impossible to use by the way) and their rifle.
The support gunners have there machine gun and pistol, and the officer/NCO has a submachine gun, a pistol, grenades, smoke grenades, and a detailed map. The NCO has an important task and there is only one, but since this is a video game, unfortunately no qualifications are required to be an NCO which meaner many unqualified dip chits will aka the class because they want an automatic, and cause your squad to be a dysfunctional mess.Another thing is the communication system. When you speak on the mimic, your voice is broadcasted from your player and only people within a certain distance can hear you. The enemy can hear you as well, so unnecessary conversation can get you spotted.
The maps follow the 101 airborne operations during MN. '2 and are decently historically accurate. These maps start from d-day, on to market garden, and beyond. They even added a d-day beach landing map Just for fun.The d-day map can be tons of fun if you're a German machine gunner because you usually get like 20 kills every life. Over all the game looks good and can be some fun if your into this kind of stuff.
Im glad that the developers didn't pander to casual gamers, and call of duty players, and Im glad they made the game more realistic. However, if realism isn't your thing and you prefer games to be more fun then realistic, stick to your stupid baby call of poppy console gaming. Aching Change Chon the Story of the Asians By lookup
