About
Take command. Take cover. Take the fight head-on.
The second instalment in the series that would become known as Men of War! Faces of War puts you in the heart of World War II – not as a distant commander, but as the leader on the ground. Combining the tactical depth of real-time strategy with the immediacy of direct control, it lets you issue precise orders or jump straight into battle as one of your soldiers.
Lead Allied, German, or Soviet forces through the decisive European campaigns of 1944–1945. Coordinate ambushes, flanking maneuvers, and armored assaults across battlefields that react to your every move. Every explosion reshapes the terrain, every bullet counts, and survival depends on quick thinking rather than scripted events.
Faces of War delivers a visceral and cinematic World War II experience defined by realism, scale, and tactical freedom. Each battle unfolds differently depending on your strategy and how you use the environment to your advantage. Leadership, instinct, and resourcefulness matter more than numbers – there are no front lines, no safety, only the fight.
Real-time tactical combat – control entire squads or take command of a single soldier for precise on-the-ground action.
Dynamic, destructible environments – use collapsing walls, craters, and debris as cover or traps.
Authentic WWII warfare – command Allied, German, and Soviet troops across Europe’s most intense battlefields.
Advanced AI – your soldiers think, react, and adapt to changing conditions in real time.
Full physics simulation – bullets, vehicles, and explosions behave with weight and realism.
Multiplayer and mission editor – create your own scenarios or battle others in skirmishes and cooperative play. Faces of War is affected by the GameSpy shutdown on the 31st of May. You can continue to play the game through LAN, DirectIP and GameRanger.

Игра детсва, немного шерховата, но кажется не сильно устарела. Жалко мало контента
Railroaded to ♥♥♥♥ in comparison to all other games of the series, damaged tanks never have repair kits, severe lack of certain ammunitions and weapons on missions where the devs didn't want you to use them, buggy triggers and AI that constantly stops working. Oh and of course the crashes. Damn near constant crashes every 30 minutes which have a 50/50 chance to brick your savefile. Not great, skip this if you havenn't already played the rest of the series.

Faces of War is the direct sequel to Soldiers: Heroes of World War II and the missing link before the Men of War series. Built on an improved version of Best Way's GEM engine, it expands on its predecessor with larger-scale battles, smarter AI, improved physics, and even more tactical freedom. The core gameplay remains the same: you command a small group of soldiers in real time, where every unit, vehicle, and piece of equipment matters. Success rarely comes from brute force alone—you'll constantly have to improvise, manage your resources, exploit the environment, and adapt to changing situations. Compared to Soldiers, battles are much larger, with friendly AI forces fighting alongside you, making the battlefield feel far more alive without sacrificing the series' trademark attention to detail. The game features three campaigns from the Allied, German, and Soviet perspectives, covering some of the most iconic battles of the final years of World War II. The atmospheric orchestral soundtrack deserves a special mention, as it perfectly captures both the intensity of combat and the somber tone of the conflict, making every mission even more memorable. Despite its age, very few tactical RTS games offer this level of freedom and interaction with the battlefield. Pro tip: Hold CTRL to enter Direct Control mode. This allows you to take full control of any selected soldier or vehicle, letting you move, aim, fire, and reload manually. Learning when to switch between RTS commands and Direct Control is the key to mastering the game—don't hesitate to abuse it.
типичная класика в тылу врага ,что в детстве не понимал зачем такой перегруженный интерфейс,что щас не понимаю..... тупо в это не приятно играть ,когда тебе надо десятки команд запоминать.... очередная класика душнил из 2000х годов....
Самая любимая игра из всех (в тылу врага)
不介意画质的且喜欢二战的强烈推荐玩
Всім ку) Гра, дуже супер вийшла. Класна стратежка, на посіденьки вечорками. Сподобалось відмінна робота над графічним поданням та різноманіттям виконуючих місій. Всім раджу, хто полюбляє цю тематику та всесвіт гри.
old but gold
