Battalion wars 2 (BWii) Official thread!

[STAROCEAN980]

I just want to start off saying BWii is a amazing game! The singal player has a well done story line and great characters. And the online is superb! It has online co-op, assult, and skirmishes for playing random players, and a friend code system. Like Battalion wars 1 this game features different armies/factions. These are the Frontier, the Tundrans, Xylvanians, Solar Empire, Angols, and the dreaded Iron Legion.
In this game you can take conrol of many types of infantry such as rifle grunts, flame vets, missile vets and bazooka vets. You also have acess to vehicles like tanks, artillary, anti-air, bombers and battleships.
This is just a brief introduction to BWii!
I was also hoping this tread could be used for you guys to post up friend codes so everyone can get together and play!

It's not quite halo 3. It's only 1 vs. 1 or 1 co-op 1. And I doesn't have splitscreen.

Edit: I'm not sure but, I hear you can make your own battles! So maybe you can make battles with 20 tanks vs. 5 rifle grunts! So cool!

I just got this, so far gameplay seems pretty good, and it has great graphics. My home internet is down right now, but when we get it back up I'll post my FC here.

You'll like the online play. The co-op is my favorite. You can play naval battles, air strikes, and even help escort a battlestation with AA units.


By the way, did anyone ever play the first one? I did.

[AmishBurrito]

Yeah, I have played the first one.

I finished number 1 and just today I finished number 2.
All I can say is I think this one is easier than the first one and that I was sad that only 3 missions let you control the frontier. There are 5 campaigns, (1 for each faction) ranging from 3 to 5 missions for a total of 20. The ending(don't worry I won't spoil it) was a little confusing leaving it somewhat open and somewhat closed at the same time. This game also take place after BW1, I'm guessing 5-9 years, though some campaigns are flashbacks to before BW1. So it's a little confusing but still good. Also I'd say that 1 playthrough will take about 6-9 hours, each mission lasting from 5min to 20min. Still a excellent game however short, though online helps make up for that.
