Long Title: Codename: Panzers – Cold War MP Demo

By Kieron Gillen on March 5th, 2009 at 9:04 am.

I admit, I can’t actually differentiate this and Men of War in my head. I’m going to try. This is the one which Jim doesn’t keep on ranting for me to try. I think. Anyway, the Single-player demo has been out for a bit. Now there’s a sister Multiplayer Demo, which is a mere half-gig in size. Half what the SP one was! The reason for this is classified. I know, but can’t tell you. I’m sorry. Oh – and here’s a new trailer explaining the “WHAT IF!”s which drive this alternate timeline post-WW2 war. Which, as many have noted, doesn’t look particularly like a cold war to us. You can tell by the explodeage.

Things explode

    It looks to me like the engine is on WiC level. But that all you can see from the video. Nice explosions, precious fires.. loveable falling helicopters. Panzercandy.

    Armoured trains, like angry monorails. Should i be excited about this game? Or rather in 6 months will i even remember it exists?

    T: Violence, Use of Tobacco

    When I saw that, I thought it was a joke!

    But no, it’s serious.

    Looks cool! I don’t think a tower crane would demolish buildings exactly like that though. But it does look cool!

    Looks kickass, and for some reason the music reminds me of Battlefied 1942.

    report

  10. Jeremy says:

    I liked the collapsing buildings. The crane was the neatest, even though Dozer’s right, probably wouldn’t really happen like that. Still…

    Doubt I’ll buy it though.
