Men of War Exclusive Coop Gameplay
This is a video of Men of War in coop that I had the opportunity to try in exclusivity. This is base on the Beta so you may notice a few visual difference with final version of the game. This mission is the first German campaign mission with the massive invasion on Crete. The attack was the first step to the North African campaign that was shortly following afterwards and dominates the rest of the campaign.
Some of the nice feature you can see in this video is that in coop you can revive your fallen allies with a limited number of morphine that your main soldiers have with them. That limited number of “revive” force you to remain vigilante with your forces, without being frustrated at losing all your soldiers one after the other until defeat occure.
Coop also split the available troops between up to 4 players, in doing so the coop make it easier for players to use the direct control, without being overwhelmed by the management of a large forces where the fight can be heated and confuse like any real war.
This attention to a smaller group of soldiers also mean that you can use them more effectively. For exemple in Men of War coop, the inventory management is much more important and useful. You have more time to get ammo to your troops. You also have time to gain from using the guns of your enemies instead of simply ignoring them like most players would do in multiplayer.
The coop also allow you to specialize your role in the team. for example, some player can focus themselves on infantry tactic, while others can provide sniper support and use the enemies guns left behind, in order to support your advance.
Since each soldiers become more effective thanks to a closer control of humans, you can also advance on a wider front leading to a better positioning of your forces. This better positioning give you new angles of fire on enemies positions and protect your flanks.
The cooperation can also go beyond simply dividing forces but can also include spotting dangerous enemies like we did in this video. While one player is busy aiming at the enemies the other player scan the horizon and report the position of the next dangerous target using the “N” button. This is also true in multiplayer games.
This video also contain many useful tricks about how to finish the the mission on hard and one of the many ways to do it. This video doesn’t contain the last part of the mission, because we ran out of disk space, and that should allow you to spice things up when your the one playing. =)
Men of War
This is a battle of Men of War multiplayer beta. In this video I’m in charge of the left flank and I must hold the flank.
What is important to note in this video, is how I deploy my infantry around to scout the enemies movement. It’s important to find the right positions where they can hide and at the same time keeping them in a position of mutual support in case enemies infantry find them.
In this battle, my side successfully pushed the enemies out of the center of the the map and we didn’t advanced further for the following reasons. The enemies spawn nearby in a line, so they could have fired at the weak sides of our tanks. The flank being weak combine with the close range would also have made their armor piercing round stronger, exposing our forces to a certain death. Spawn camping your enemies isn’t very fun for them and for yourself so it was better holding the center.
For the most part, I was able to hold the line with a Sherman M4A2 against Panzer IV. The M4A2 has the advantage of having an heavier body armors then the M4A1. This mean that the your M4A2 can take much more punishment then the M4A1. You can get at closer range to the enemies and survive while shooting them back with stronger Amour Piercing power.
Of course the M4A2 while better then the M4A1, it didn’t resisted the powerful Nashorn anti tank gun and was destroyed later on. I avenged it by sneaking a crew member behind enemies line and trow dynamite that blew up the Nashorn. One thing you should notice is the limited view the enemies tanks have and that are represented by the red line with you click on the units. Also your prone infantry are harder to see for them. So if you use your infantry smartly you can easily destroy very important enemies vehicle with a low cost.
When I spawned a Pershing the fate of the enemies was seal considering the Pershing have a very heavy armor and a powerful cannon. The enemies medium tank were then destroy from a far without much chance to inflict any damage. So this was a clear victory.
***NOTE: The sound isn’t the best ever because windows changed an option without asking me, preventing me from having a “good quality” sound while recording. I tryed to reduce the inconvenient as much as possible and if it doesn’t do the job, i recommend cutting the sound to half. The game sound is much better then what you will hear in this video.
Call of Duty:World at War Nazi Zombies Review
Me lasting 9 Rounds By myself.
*Note: Audio goes out of sync at points*
The Nazi Zombie mission is unlocked after you beat the game. Basically what it is, is you are Bunkered in a small 2 story building in the middle of a field with fog all the way around. You shoot Nazi zombies as they try to break down barricades and boarded up windows. You can buy guns and Pay to move debre to unlock the other room of the house. You get Money every time you shoot a zombie, kill a zombie, and bored up windows. Its more of a multiplayer thing, but can be played by your self to. There are an unlimited amount of waves so it mainly just seeing how high a score you can get. There are also power ups that drop every now and then from zombies such as Instant Kill shots, 2x Points, Ammo, Nuke Bombs.

Strategy Review of the Crusades and Jihad in Medieval II Total War
To start a Crusade you will need the right diplomatic context, because you have to get the blessing of the Pope. So maintaining good relation with him in the previous turns is crutial. One advantage of starting a Crusade or Jihad, over participating in one, is the ability to choose the targeted city.
The Jihad works similarly, but in the case of Muslim, it must be started by an imam following the loss of Muslim territories. Since Imam are under your command, it quite easy to start one compared to the
Christian factions and the diplomatic requirement they face. It’s important to note that to join a Crusade or a Jihad, you will need a general with an army of 8 units.
Crusades and Jihads have few advantages.
The armies participating move twice as fast then normally.
The units participating cost nothing to maintain and many units are only available as mercenaries in the crusade and jihad.
When a crusade or jihad achieves its objective, the generals participating will win a lot of traits and gain commanding experience.
For a Christian faction, the relations with the Pope will improve in the case of a victory.
The fact that your army moves around fast may allow you to loot many cities on the way making your empire richer.
While the crusades and jihad can look attractive, using them at the right moment is very important. You need to know how to gain from them, since they offer interesting opportunities.
Before joining a crusade or jihad, you need to consider the following aspects:
Make sure that the objective isn’t too far from the territories of your faction.
Conquering a city far away brings with it many problems.
A newly conquered city in the middle of hostile territory increases your military cost and divides your forces.
If your crusade doesn’t advance fast enough the desertion rate will increase and weaken your crusading army. If many factions are participating to the conquest of the objective, you need to remember that only one faction will control the city by the end of the crusade.
This means that at some point you can have a general and his army in the middle of an hostile territory without any place to retreat. The process of bringing him back can be dangerous making his army ineffective and costly. It can then be considered a waste of resources.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Red Dot Sight Review
Red Dot Sight
The Red Dot Sight is an add on that doesn’t have a long range zoom.
It’s main feature is it’s special reticule form by the red dot.
It allows the user to acquire a target with accuracy without being aligned directly with the eyes.
The main interest is to quickly increase the accuracy without limiting the arc of view.
This allows to acquire and fire on a target without losing sight of the environment.
The only cost being a reduction of movements when it’s used, making the player an easier target, especially in close combat.
Recoil has a major effect too, and forces you to compensate regularly to keep your target well aligned.
From a tactical point of view, we recommend to activate it exclusively when a target is aligned.
As soon as the target is down deactivate it to move back to your normal speed.
By using it this way you will gain from it’s quality without the inconvenience.
From a general stand point the Red Dot Sight is useful in all environments.
It is good in the open and close environments as long as you develop the right reflexes.
The Red Dot Sight appears to be the most versatile add on that you can choose in Call of Duty 4.
It is mostly adapted for a player with an aggressive way of playing, that like to move around and need to eliminate multiple target as fast as possible.
Psi Ops The Mindgate Conspiracy review
Heres a game mechanic we don’t see everyday and lil o in the 2003…or was it from 2005 era…anyways you can throw guys everywhere,make their heads pop ,control em and burn em ….and all that WITH yOUR MIND!!!
The game is great,original,not bad graphics for the time and good production values…not to mention the game has ALOT of extras and i think you need to find Evil gnomes to unlock most of em and you can also view the movies from the game as well and also replay the game with different skins…although boss battles weren’t expected….they weren’t bad for the most part …well happy head poping.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare ACOG Review
The ACOG is a type of scope. This add on can be added to nearly all the weapons of Call of Duty 4. The main interest of the ACOG is to allow the player to aim at a target with precision at long range.
The ACOG has 3 negative impacts though.
It reduces the accuracy.
It limits the view of the player outside of the scope and reduce the movement speed when activated.
This means that it is important to activate the ACOG exclusively when the target is acquired and in the middle of your reticule. We recommend the ACOG uses especially at the hardcore difficulty since the enemies are weaker.
From a tactical point of view, we recommend the ACOG for players that adopt a defensive and careful approach. The ACOG leads the player to act as a supporting role and provide cover for his team, staying at a safe distance from the enemies. Moving crouched or prone to get a better stability provides an advantage to it’s user. Of course, if for a more offensive style, we recommend the use of the Red Dot Sight.
Finally, in general, the ACOG isn’t a very popular add on, since those that adopt a defensive stance tend to prefer a sniper rifle then an Assault Rifle with the ACOG.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Sleight of Hand Perk Review
The perk sleight of Hand increases the reloading speed of you weapon.
This insures that the player will be ready to engage the enemies with a full clip in no time.
In the case of shotguns, the sleight of hand does make a major difference, making the reloading speed instantenious.
So the limited quantity of ammo in the shoguns becomes less of an issue due to the gain in reloading speed.
The Support weapons also gain from the sleight of hand by reducing once again a long reloading time.
The sleight of Hand show it’s effectiveness for all weapons in all difficulties level. But shotguns and support weapons still gain a little bit more from it.
To conclude, while the avantages the sleight of hand provides, we think it’s better to adopt reloading strategies then choose this perk.
The only exeption being the use of the shotgun where the nature of the guns and contextual use of it gain a lot from having a faster reloading pace.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Stopping Power Review
The perk Stopping Power increases the damage inflicted to the adversaries by increasing the power of your bullets.
This perk is effective with all weapons.
It is especially effective with a sniper rifle, since without it, it may be hard to neutralize your enemies in one shot.
At the Hardcore mode, the perk Stopping Power isn’t as useful, since your enemies are neutralized in a couple shots.
You should not use this perk on Hardcore and it is recommended to choose a more adapted perk instead.
Finally, we recommend the Stopping Power perk at the normal difficulty, no matter the weapon you use.
While in hardcore we recommend to evade that perk at all costs.
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Double Tap Review
This is the first video of a series of mini guide on Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, that aim to help new player to the game.
Double Tap is a Perk that doubles the fire rate or your weapon.
The increase in fire rate helps you eliminate your adversaries faster. This reduces the risk of counter attacks as a consequence.
On the other hand, doubling the fire rate leads to a faster spending of your ammo and forces you to reload more frequently. Reloading takes more or less time depending on the weapon. In the context where multiple adversaries are present at the same time, the reloading may cost you your life.
This is why we recommend to use this perk with weapons that have larger clips, meaning weapons with 50 ammo or more. We refer here to the P90 and support weapons.
Overall this perk is useful on both normal and hardcore difficulty level.
At the normal difficulty, where killing an enemy requires more hits, you gain an advantage especially in close combat, by dividing the time necessary to kill your adversaries.
On the hardcore level, this perk can be useful if you want to play with a suppressive style and random burst while on long range. Since you can have more chance to hit your adversaries with burst containing a larger amount of bullets. This is especially true with the support weapons.
Finally, this perk finds it’s use on both difficulty levels as long as you adopt an adapted style of playing.

Rainbow Six Vegas 2 Kill House Gameplay
Here is a small teaser of Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I got it two days ago and basically finished it one time at realistic. Was entertaining and this video is a small teaser of what I will publish in the comings days/weeks.

So i will be able to show a good walktrough without ruining the interest of the game.
Assassin’s Creed The Citadel of Acre (Akko)
Here is how to climb The Citadel of Acre in Assassin’s Creed. It’s one of the annoying tower to climb in the game since it’s not the most easy to start to climb. As you can see sometime it also doesn’t work to well the first time depending how the game feel. For once I included the jump in the hay also call the Leap of Faith, where less then two meter of hay stop a fall from many, many, meter.
Assassin’s Creed Acre’s Church
This is a video from Assassin’s Creed Acre’s Church. In this video I show how to get up there and get down there in an realistic way. Of course you can alway jump down into a 1 m of Hay to stop your 10 stories high fall, but less risky.
Assassin’s Creed High Point Walktrough
Since Spartan is already doing a great job at showing the main story of the game, I will show some side quest objective, starting by how to climb some higher point in the game in order to make some reconnaissance of the area. Some place can be a little more challenging then others so i will limit myself to those few. So here is one of the really High point of the game in Damascus.
Rome Total War Custome Battle
This is my first video that i used movie_cam in, so please excuse me if i am a n00b with the camera movement. The clip is from Rome – Total War V1.5.
