  1. The enemy AI is just as poor as the pathfinding AI. The enemy will send troops at you singly and in pairs allowing you to make short work of them. Even after you've spent half the mission killing off the enemy's solo suicide attacks it doesn't catch on and continues to waste its troops one by one.

    With a poor presentation and poor gameplay, War Times feels like an overpriced piece of budgetware that's destined to languish in bargain bins until its desiccated corpse turns to powder and is blown from our memory. [Aug 2004, p.82]

    It's just in no way remarkable. The combination of average graphics, short campaign scenarios, and limited tactical options put the game squarely in the middle of the pack.
  4. War Times struggles along and ultimately becomes a casualty of its own conflicts. The shallow tech tree, paucity of unit types, ineffective pathfinding and tedious gameplay make enjoying it a losing fight.

    The AI follows a scripted battle plan that remains virtually unchanged regardless of what strategies you implement against them. To that end the game doesn't have much of a real-time feel.

    All i can say is: will there ever be a good, solid, 80+ average, with balanced multiplay, great graphics, sound, gameplay, engine and AIAll i can say is: will there ever be a good, solid, 80+ average, with balanced multiplay, great graphics, sound, gameplay, engine and AI friggin WW2 RTS??? i mean, in the past 4 years there have to have been about 10 to come out, and from what ive heard or played, they basically suck. ya maybe some people liked this one or that one, and i heard combat mission is really good, but thats a war game, isnt it. there are so many amazingly great ww2 shooters and wargames out there, i think its time we need a great RTS.

    I rather play a round of Wayne's World than getting my hands on this heat shit.
    Let's hope we get it out of our minds soon. Peace.

    I don't pass a day without thinking and dreaming about this game. It makes me sick every day from new on. I'm like mentally disturbed.
    Let me go...
