Call to Arms

This game's a buggy mess. The features are what brought me in, and it's there. But there's little else. The AI is awful. The balance in singleplayer is absolutely abysmal. I like it but in it's current state idk if it's worth most people's time. A game released in 2018 that's still actively maintained/developed shouldn't be this jank in 2026.

This game has its moments, but it's pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Came back to 100% it, the American campaign was fine and probably the best, that day of reckoning line on the last mission was great but that's about the only memorable thing about it. The rest is just a slog, especially on heroic - the AI is just awful, which is why they give you a "direct control" mode where you can play battlefield and do it yourself, because god knows your AI can't. This is a direct consequence of the games gimped range values and the experience thing they have going on - gimped range speaks for itself, artillery can only fire up to ~200m, AI aren't going to shoot eachother on a flat plane in broad daylight at similar ranges regardless of weapon or vehicle optics until you force them to, etc. You can live with gimped range because you've likely experienced it in other games, and you can understand why they might've had to make it that way; devs can't or don't want to make appropriately scaled maps, or devs need to fall back on ♥♥♥♥♥♥ balancing. What'll get under your skin, especially on max diff. playthroughs, is this god awful individual experience/levelling system. Basically, your troops can't shoot for ♥♥♥♥ until they've reenacted the korean war and slain a bazillion enemies. This is a problem on max diff. campaign missions where you need to assault heavily defended objectives against AI who are shooting about as effectively as you'd expect your own to do so, so on several, if not every mission, you're gonna be falling back on that direct control feature just to shoot the enemy yourself, ESPECIALLY in armoured vehicles. Now I've reminded myself of the vehicle experience in this game. It's basically world of tanks, but I don't know if world of tanks has war thunder-esque one/two-shot-kill weakspots, and the damage models in world of tanks are likely a million times more consistent than this game. The tank weakspots are fairly obvious if you've played war thunder mid/high tier, but there's a bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you'll come across with the hitboxes - god ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ help you if you play that first mission of the russian campaign against the leopard 2s, there must be actual german bias in this game, because APFSDS rounds (from a T80) into the side of a leopard 2 won't kill it, you'll have to set the engine on fire twice to get the crew to bail... Where have I heard that before? The actual mission design of the campaigns is a whole other thing. Allah be with you should you play the GRM campaign. From manually shooting african warlords with your lee enfield on that first mission (this is an RTS, right??), to maneuvering around T80 fields of fire in your T62 on that city invasion... good luck. The mantra of the campaign design guys was basically ♥♥♥♥ em, put them in the worst situations against the most overwhelming odds, so take that and combine it with everything I've covered up to this point, and you get the slog. Fortunately, should you unfortunately find yourself playing this game in [current year], you get manual saving.

Полный шлак в плане баланса!!! у противника подкрепления бесконечные. Играть более менее нормально можно лишь на низкой сложности, не рекомендую

第一人称视角的手感太生硬了，不过考虑到是很久以前的游戏所以情有可原，但是依然不推荐（

баланса нету ♥♥♥♥♥ вся техника кроме американской или немецкой с пуликов убиваеться и потом посадите мать разработчика в абрамс и я уебу 10 птурами по нему посмотрим как она выживет

heellll nah i bought this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ years ago and now i reinstall it to see that all i got is a free version where the ♥♥♥♥ my game go what kind of scum ♥♥♥♥ is this Wanted to edit this after deleting everything about this game uninstalling through steam manually deleting what was left including the call to arms data in the documents tab i decided to again reinstall just to see if it would work and it did instead of free it now says i have the ultimate edition which is cool because i did not buy that but, but im not changing my negetive review because that is a terrible bug whether it's steams fault the games fault or my fault
