VS Blitzkrieg 2

[JimmyBeans]

Title says it all. This or the second one?

IMO Blitz 1 is much better for the older rts players. Although the second one has 3d graphics with zoom and camera rotation, the whole design is cartoonish, colorful, and very ugly, like c&c generals. Blitz 2 is also easier with its reinforcement system.
All in all:
BK1. Isometric but nice graphic, hard missions for beginners, you have to combine your units abilities to avoid heavy losses, and keeping units alive.
BK2. full 3d graphic but from the first generation, very ugly, more like "select units and rush the enemy" gameplay style, dozens of reinforcements in battlefield.
I like the first one more, since i'm a player from the late 90s. Anyway the first game, and all of its brothers(cuban missile crisis, stalingrad etc.) running fine on modern computers, but many of us have a little lag in BK2 regardless from selected graphic detail options. Try both of them, and choose your destiny.

Thanks for the insight. Although I'm not from the 90's I still appreciate these sort of games. I booted up Bk 1 and I have to say that it plays pretty well. Just thank god it has autosave (love going back and retrying in games like this). Gotta love those old style graphics.

The mod site is the biggest collection on the net, but isn't up to date, some mods have newer versions.
