It’s free this weekend on Steam and reduced price of 39.99, still not buying.

Greetings demyansk,
Aside from the fact my 2012 laptop will nit handle it, it is not of interest to me.
I prefer the old GDW role playing series Twilight 2000 & Merc 2000 series

That’s cool Rommel, a lot of negativity on this release from EA. I held off on this one,

What computer games are like this? I remember something from 30 years ago but can’t remember if anything is similar currently.

Any thoughts?

I am playing Lock n Load tactical digital cold war game Heroes of the Gap & Red Gauntlet
Also Combat Mission Black Sea (like a Battlefield 2020)

The 2000 game, they have that in solitaire for computer or board game?

Greetings demyansk,
Currently Twilight 2000 4th ed is solitaire:

Electronic Arts used to be one of my favorite PC game companies, but that was a long time ago--I haven't purchased one of their games in many years.

But if that's the type of publisher that floats your boat, go ahead and knock yourself out.

I gave in with 2042, I bought it got forty dollars. Lot of people I talk to on discord play it, so what the heck,

Greetings demyansk,
Enjoy your game and let us know your thoughts on it.
I do agree with Greybriar about EA and its EULAs.

I watch on YouTube. Levelcapgaming

He does nice reviews on the game. It looks like EA could have used a few extra months and it seems they didn’t test well enough with 128 player servers. I am a loyal player of all the Battlefield series from Battlefield 1942. This is the first one I didn’t buy right away or preorder. I probably didn’t even need to buy this one. I just like the series but disappointed with the lack of voip and that was a way to meet other players from around the gaming world. I still like playing battlefield 5 and I had some good games over the weekend with players who talked. Some of us get on on Discord and work as a squad. I think they could have game out with more maps for B5 and many players would have bought them for the game and then take more time to develop the new game. Oh well, you guys, I’ll keep you up to date and what dice does or does not do.

Thanks for asking over 1000 hours in each version
