It's so great. I am having an entirely shitty day at work and the hope of blowing everything up with BIG GUNS KICK THE HELL OUT OF YOU 25 pounder artillery when I get home is getting me through the day.

few tips for british players-

*) Find a good place between a high fuel point and a victory point (if playing a regular VP game) and move the command truck there after building your first few infantry sections, a bren carrier, and a lieutentant. Move the truck to the sector with the high fuel and park it there. The truck will act as a "free" , hard to harass observation post (more after the resource upgrades)  and you'll need the fuel-the british are very dependent on it for damn near everything. New trucks you get for teching will also provide additional resources, so park them in the appropriate spots.

*) once you get the XP on your lieutenats, hit heroic charge with your infantry during fights. It turns your infantry sections into nazimowers, especially if they have bren gun upgrades.

*) build slit trenches in places that benefit you greatly, but offer little benefit for the enemy-that is, build them right in front of buildings facing the expected direction of the enemy.

*) Don't ignore the Bofors 40mm AA gun. It rapes infantry and light vehicles, and it doesn't need an upgrade until real tanks hit the field, at which point the devastating 17 pounder with the AP round feature will two shot a Panzer IV.

*) The glider commando tree allows you to get a fast and easy forward HQ with infantry support by landing the glider. PIAT commandos are a huge boost with a lieutant when fighting armor.

*) Against Wehrmacht, having one infantry section with the rifle grenades REALLY helps to clear out MGs from buidings.

*) You have two real ways of sealing the deal as the British-25 pounder artillery or bringing in some tanks and getting a command tank.

Nice thanks! Ill give brits a try. I think the biggest challenge in multiplayer is the distribution of points between allies. I mean its really easy for someone to have too much of a resource they dont need simply because it was the only point they could cap nearby that hasnt been capped already.

I put my money on Frag.  MAF plays too many games to be really good at any one of them.

Im actually very good at WoW and fighting games. I also tend to be the one that engineers new inventive tactics in RTS games I play with friends.

New and inventive isn't always good!

Really?  I'm a little surprised since you were talking about playing on easy for something like Bioshock.   Fighting games is one of the hardest genres to become good in.  Especially now, when they've gotten to the point that you have to time your move at just the right frame of animation.

I play Bioshock on easy because I want to experience the story and setting, not the challenge. Fighting games I love the challenge, no other reason to play them.

Did you use to play fighters at arcades, MAF?  That's where most hardcore fighter fans get their challenge.  I enjoy playing fighters at an arcade with joysticks but only when no one else is playing.  It seems like you have to get very good to play against other people at most arcades and I just don't seem to have the talent.

I did beat Killer Instinct 2 the first time I played it on one quarter though.   :lol
