Definitely worth it at $5.

This is like a slightly more arcade version of Combat Mission.

You guys suck :P

Just sprung for the 'deluxe' version at $6.99. Not even sure what makes it deluxe, but for $6.99 I couldn't say no

I like being able to take first person control when I feel like it, kind of different from the classic rts. It's definately worth a spin for that price.

Just an update:

Latest patch added some really great things.

Direct control of infantry now has a tethered camera that allows you to go into 3rd and 1st person view.

this is a little older (I dont play it much), but vehicles have thermal sights now, in direct control. Kind of lame; they are limited to about 30 seconds then are subjected to a cool down period. Unrealistic, but better than nothing, I guess.

Also worth noting; if you take direct control of a Squad Leader, the entire AI squad will follow you. It's not awesome, but its better than ArmA, in terms of cohesion and movement as a unit.

Why is there no sky; night, day, or otherwise?

Because it's not meant to be an FPS

This is an interesting addition as Men of War has had third-person direct control of individual tanks/infantry for a while now - not to this degree though I don't think. The squad-AI stuff sounds cool. Wish MoW had it.

New patch adds hardcore mode. Damage models are tweaked in 'hardcore mode' to be a little less gamey.

Screen of me mowing down some GRM in the open.

Still lots of potential with this one but I've noticed that the patches are much less frequent now.

Is the base game still free?

Yes, but only multiplayer.
