You mean multiplayer? Meh, i dont care if its dead or not, just ask if its worth or not :v

Very worth it even for singleplayer. Great campaign and very good skirmish AI. Lots of fun units and divisions to play with and against.

It's the single player that I'm interested in as well, at least to begin with. However, is there really an issue with the AI cheating... knowing exactly where to shell you even though it shouldn't... are statements like this accurate?

I'm fully committed to SD 2 now but there is a discord where you might be able to find someone. Here is the link.

The AI has perfect memory but no hacks, and on higher difficulties it gets income and unit availability bonuses. But again, no cheating whatsoever.

good for skirmish with AI

I revisited this game today and im going to copy and paste my review here

TL;DR I don't think this is an awful game but its outclassed by it's sequel in nearly everywhere except aesthetics

The units are ridiculously stealthy in this game making any kind of push a pain in the ass. This game also has an inferior deck building system and single player experience to SD2.

This game is more arty focused than it's tank focused sequel. While this part is just preference I miss the really powerful german rocket units of this game.

However, this game looks better than steel division 2. Not because the graphics are more realistic or whatever but the green vibrant hills of normandy are just a lot better to look at than the dull fields of ukraine. Not to mention the maps are also a lot more readable than in SD2. I also miss the in game portraits of the units. They did take up a lot of screen space so I can see why they took them out. This game also more american and british units, which have really funny and goofy voice lines. The voice lines of the new nations in SD2 doesn;t have as much personality.

I might revisit this game soonish but if I need space on my pc this is the first game to go.

game is still a good single player campaign. the MP is fun IF you have some friends to play with or want to just play with and against AI.

Thanks for the feedback

nobody said an important thing - singleplayer campaign is only playable if you perform good on each level, if you barely finished 1st map, you won't be able to finish 2nd, due to amount of units you lost in the beginning etc. You dont get 'clean slate'. Amount of units you get every level depends on how many survived your previous battle.

I’m fairly certain that’s not a thing

This is true.
