Close Combat went from RTS to FPS? Those fools! Why?

That was a really good series, probably the only RTS i ever really enjoyed come to think of it.

Commando's required too much patience for my taste - never got into that.

why the fuck would commandos goto First person?
thats retarded.

there is nothing wrong with isometric view! everything doesn't have to be first person!

Commandos was too hard IMO. Syndicate owned the fuck out of it even though it came out like 5 years before it.

Syndicate on the Amiga stll ranks high as one of my favourite games ever
Now there's a game that needs a remake
I'm ignoring Syndicate Wars here
Aye :icon14:

I used to play it on a 486 back in the day. Fun game, it had a minigun and that small gun that shot missiles that blew up cars, those were the days.

Last 'rig' level was a complete and utter bastard
I don't really remember the levels now, I was 8 when I played that game and I didn't speak english.

Aye, was just about to say those screens reef posted are nice, I'm liking them too.

The ycould do with a bit of work on the view weapons though IMHO.
