lowyhong: Can someone educate me regarding Soldiers? Is it like Company of Heroes ie. collect resources, build things? Is gameplay linear ie. it's clear which is the best way to go through?
It is more like Commandos where you have just 1 to 4 ( some might have more, cant remember ) people that you steer around a map trying to achieve objectives. Its not linear and how you try to achieve objectives is up to you. If you want to try and sneak as much as possible, thats a possibility or if you want to engage the enemy and set up ambushes for the reinforcements then you can that too.
There is no resource gathering/base building. What you start with is what you have, and can capture vehicles, steal enemies guns and ammo etc.
It also tries to model armour penetration properly so that some tanks might not be dented by your AP guns from the front ( although you might disable a gun or take off a track ), but if you it it from its more vulnerable rear you might get it to blow up in one or two shots if you hit it correctly.
I found it somewhat hard at times and did play on an easy difficulty, but it was a game I really enjoyed. On the easier setting it is of course easier to try and set up your team in ambush positions and engage the enemy, but Im sure the higher difficulties will force you to sneak more as the enemy will kill you easier.
