To be honest it sounds interesting.

It sounds good, especially the multiplayer minigame where you defend the town. That said though, it would be nice if there were more minigames.

looks good, like the fact it combined the ability to control an individual unit.

that should be fun, looks worth the buy....

i played it, i found the tiger ace really fun. i think the campaigns are very short, (3 missions on the tiger ace) and took 1hr on expert. The operations are actually quite fun, and in normal matches you can't use direct fire or other features from the campaign.

It sucks though that the tiger ace is just a new skin for the tiger in multiplayer mode. :cry:
I like how they include co op missions now or somewhat. :amuse:

All of the campaigns are 3 missions long. So 9 in total. Pretty short. I'm on the Falaise Pocket campaign right now. I think the Tiger Ace campaign is the best so far.

Also, I think you can use direct fire in one multiplayer mode where you basically only control one guy. I forget what it's called though. It's a shame you can't do some of the stuff in campaign in multiplayer such as drop weapon, revive fallen squad member, etc... But There will be a mod that adds that I'm sure =P.

I'll complete the last campaign when I get back from class and play some mp if anyone is up for it. I can't really write a review until I play all of the new modes though =).

Panzer Kreig is where you can use Direct fire in MP.

I'm up for some online, PM me. I like Panzer kreig and the defense one, not a fan of assault.

Whilst playing the new units, i decided to use the hotchkiss, which replaced the... panzer IV infantry support tank. That tank is so bad ass, and can be upgraded with walking STUKKA!!

Also, the Tiger ace IMO was the best campaign, then followed by causeway, that was also fun. I have only gotten to mission 2 of the Falaise Pocket because i got bored, but i will finish that tonight.

I bought it recently and I'd say it's ok. Atleast if you have some friends that can play the game at least as often as you do since in team games, practice makes perfect. Panzekrieg is fun, so is Operation: Stonewall (somewhat, I don't really like smashing NPC's). Didn't try assault yet, although I heard it's like Defence Of The Ancients. I didn't get any sync errors as of yet so I guess that's LegalSmash's problem.

The campaigns are short but fun, each sort of mimics one of the three multiplayer modes. So Tiger Ace - Panzerkrieg, for example.

Yeah, since I just re-downloaded COH, I have been wondering if I should buy ToV or Killing Floor.

Honestly, I don't know much about Killing Floor. It's a completely different genre so I suggest you follow your guts. Check reviews when Killing Floor comes out, then you'll see.
