How to download commando men of courage free

Commandos 2: Men of Courage exploits this exciting idea even further. There are no waypoints. There is no capacity to delay the game, provide characters singular orders, and afterward unpause to have those orders done. A great part of the meat of good play is found in planning the activities of at least two commandos to pull off a muddled invasion activity.

The interface is more inspired by marginally permitting it than encouraging it. Bazookas and Flamethrowers were introduced in Commando 2: Reward for Courage. New vehicles became available - jeeps, trucks, tanks and ships. But the main changes were in the skills that help in operations. Now all the heroes drive a car, drag corpses, have a deafening technique, change into German uniforms, and dive.

A large number of skills opens up scope for tactical decisions - one combat mission is solved in several ways. The difficulty of passing in comparison with the first part has increased significantly. The maps got bigger and got multi-storey buildings. There are many patrols and sentry officers at the locations. In order not to catch the eye of the enemy, you need to inspect the perimeter with binoculars.

Natasha has the enviable ability to turn the enemies' heads in her direction as she pouts and glides, distracting Jerry as our boys sneak past and give them a right good shoeing Natasha letting fly a hefty kick to the Fuhrers as well. Mind you, with the war going on as long as it did, what with every man being locked up for months on end with nothing but a company of sweaty, grunting males, they might as well have sent in a walrus wearing a blonde wig for precisely the same effect.

Or, if we're to believe the more extremes of anti-Nazi propaganda, they could just send in the dog see, boys and girls, didn't we tell you that a barking bomb's the only humane way to an honourable end for our loveable hound? Then there's Lupin, the thief who sneaks about in the shadows avoiding the guards' detection far more easily than anyone else on the team.

He'll be used for picking pockets and getting past locked doors then. And let's not forget the chance to give minor commands to NPCs, setting up ambushes and decoys to aid you in your violent crusade. From the footage we've seen, the animation of each character is looking mighty impressive. While die cartoonish look of the original is still retained, the models have been given a thorough working to ensure that they look as realistic in their environment as possible.

The backgrounds, too, show a higher level of artistic detail than we've seen before. The Sim City alike ability to rotate the landscape through degree horizontal increments is a welcome inclusion for those who were irritated when inconveniently placed structures obscured the action.

Even better, though, is the news that the all-new interior locations are fully rotatable through a full degrees.

Ignoring the fact that the rooms seem to reside in an existentially lightless void, it's a nice touch and should allow you to traverse the claustrophobic confines of bases and barracks with much greater strategic precision.

It also helps that the resolution has been upped to today's cosmetic requirements of x instead of the shoddy x today's resolution equivalent of Brian May. Besides, it's a good job that the resolution's been increased because the playing areas are reportedly far bigger in size than before not that they weren't big enough to do the job last time. Although to level this out, instead of the 24 missions of the first, the number's been halved to a dozen though Pyro promises that just as much time will be spent playing the game.

The PC Speculate-O-Tron keeps its fingers crossed which is a bit hard for a machine, believe me that the large areas don't lead to sloppy play dynamics as the lengthy missions drag on interminably.

Still, early days, eh? It was always a surprise that the original Commandos was such a big hit. It never relied on a flashy campaign or over-hyped enthusiasm to sell it.

Whether it's just because it's a good game or whether it's got anything to do with the post-post-WW2 generation's unconscious desire to re-enact the glory and machismo of war in a disillusioned, slack society is anyone's guess or someone qualified to write about the subject at least.

Whatever the case, it all looks rather delicious. While most improvements seem to be generally cosmetic, here's hoping that the large interactive environments and additional characters lead to something truly special in the play department.

We've already had one data disk looking remarkably similar to the original, we don't need another. However, from the looks of tilings the sequel promises to be much more than that - and we haven't even mentioned the new weapons, realistically modelled vehicles, new AI and obligatory multiplayer mode.

That should even the odds quite a bit when Commandos 2 is released in a couple of months. Spain is probably thelast place you'd expect to find a World War II classic. After all, during the conflict, the country was recovering from the ravages of a Civil War that had left the nation physically and spiritually broken, where brother had slain brother and neighbours condemned lifelong friends to the firing squad.

And while Franco's dictatorship had friendly relations with Hitler, Spain never became personally involved in the war. Gonzo Suarez, the project head and main visionary behind Commandos, pointed out to me that Spain benefited greatly during WWII, perhaps referring as much to the success of the first game as to the consequences of this being a neutral country in such a devastating war.

The original Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines was a huge sleeper hit - to borrow a Hollywood term - in that surprised everyone by sitting at the top of the charts for 15 weeks in the UK and selling consistently throughout Europe.

What makes it more extraordinary is that it was an extremely difficult game aimed at hardcore strategists that somehow managed to cross over to the average garnet. People bought it not really knowing what to expect, became completely addicted and started telling all their friends about it.

That gives a game a longevity that all the adverts in the world can't buy. They really like their strategy games hard and thorough over there, although when the German press first saw it they looked so serious and tight-lipped I was convinced they hated it.

But when the reviews came out it was clear they loved it. It's been a long journey for Gonzo though, who started out working in advertising and cinema 24 years ago, up until the rime a Spectrum landed on his lap in I made about six games with them and went independent in , around the time the industry fell apart in this country.

According to Gonzo, the consequences of that crash can still be felt today, and it was only in that he was able to start work on Commandos. But even then it was an uphill struggle. Most of the talent has gone abroad and there's very little investment, so it's quite hard. There's only really three big teams in this country and, after 17 years, I'm practically the grandfather of the industry. Most of the people who were working when I started out all retired in the early '90s.

One of the toughest things making this game was to build a good enough team and make sure we brought all the best people. There are people who are great programmers, but have no experience making computer games, so you have to train them up.

But because there's only three teams, at least what little talent there is isn't completely diluted. But Gonzo is nothing if not tough. His heavy build and strong features go hand-in-hand with the fact that he used to be a boxer. I love contact sport. You can never foresee what's going to happen and you can only work with what's in front of you. That gives your life a more vital rhythm. Gonzo doesn't speak English, so he stands behind Jon Beltran - the talented lead programmer - telling him what to do.

He is a natural leader and strides through the press room like a general briefing foreign troops. He also seems a little nervous, and his eyes twinkle while Jon translates everything he says. He looks like an excited father as he shows off the myriad of details the game possesses and manages to stun even the most cynical of journalists present. Commandos 2 is just what a sequel should be. Ir rakes the idea of the original and catapults it to a whole new level. Gonzo shows us the thief climbing walls, peeking through windows, hiding under beds and stealing from Nazi soldiers.

He shows us the commando, swinging from cables and diving underwater among schools of fish. He shows us the sniper aiming from a window inside a building, soldiers in the street and officers sitting in a room in another building. He shows us all the vehicles you can drive and the massive, detailed maps of the missions, including a full replica of the Eiffel Tower and a stunning recreation of Colditz.

Later I asked him how they managed to capture so much detail and whether they had the chance to visit all the locations in the game. We did get to see Japan, but that was only because there was a conference there. Wherever we could, we took digital photographs, but most of the research was done back in the office. We have about 40 square metres of World War II books, so we were very well informed. And, of course, whenever you need to find out a niggly little detail, there's always the Internet.

One thing that Gonzo is quite keen to make clear from the start is that Commandos 2 is nowhere near as difficult as the first game, which was never designed with mass appeal in mind. The new game has three difficulty settings, so die-hard fans of the original's near-impossible gameplay will still be able to play in that style, while most of us switch to an enjoyable challenge.

That isn't to say that playing on the lowest setting is a breeze. Once you do you'll want to play on the medium difficulty setting at least. Someone who's just spent the best part of Pound on your game is usually willing to spend that time learning.

Not every game has to be pick up and play. I tried out the first mission, and can confirm that even the easiest setting is quite a challenge. It's also incredibly addictive and involving. You'll be happy to know that you can now save at any stage too, so the nerve-wracking frustration we all experienced with Behind Enemy Lines should be a thing of the past.

This game is clearly geared to a much wider audience. And there are few subjects able to command as much attention as World War II. Shooting Nazis has always been acceptable, but you can't get away from the fact that there's a massive entertainment industry built around one of the biggest atrocities in human history.

If you think about it. Star Wars is crammed with atrocities and is considered apt children's viewing. The Empire wipes out whole worlds, killing millions of people. And what about the storm troopers that our heroes so merrily blast away? How many of them are young men of Luke's age who don't really want to be there? Of course, the evil Empire is closely based on the Third Reich. I asked Gonzo why he thought people are fascinated by such a horrific war.

All wars are horrid, but when a human being is put in such an extreme situation, he is in touch with himself in a way that most people never experience. That is what fascinates people. Saving Private Ryan, despite the rubbish beginning and ending referring to the modern-day flag-waving and gushing sentimentality of the old man visiting the graves with his family really shows you both the horror and the fascination of the war. Another reason it's such an attractive period is that suddenly our western civilisation couldn't understand how, being so developed culturally and socially, something like this could happen.

It's like a trauma that has affected our whole society. Authentic WWII situations: 10 missions traversing 9 unique conditions in night and day, with reasonable climate impacts.

The decision is yours: how you tackle every mission is up to you. WWII vehicles and weapons, including jeeps, tanks, trucks, boats, bazookas and fire hurlers.
