This series is in full swing. 12 more levels of full control combat action that is better than the first title. You still have full controll over team or teams with flanking, supressing and such. Even get an occasional head shot in. Call in some support and watch the show. How can a combat sim get better, I guess with the next release.

Ten Hammers is the second installment in the Full Spectrum Warrior series.

A squad based game, where you order your two teams to hold down a position, or order one to supress, while the other squad flanks the enemy position.

It's definitely for those who want a game where you feel in control, and responsible for your actions. If you want a first person shooter, this ain't it. It's all about strategy, movement, prescision, and patience.

I would say this is perhaps the most realistic combat simulator. No capture the flag, no points, no hot swapping, none of that.

If you sit and wait too long to figure out what you're going to do, the enemy might just flank you. AI is tricky, very smart. This one will keep your on your toes.

Overall, an excellent view of what MOUT is all about. Realism is pretty decent and the AI can give you a run for your money at times. Ten Hammers improves upon the previous FSW with a better control over your troops, the ability to have your fire teams inside select buildings, and a precision firing mode (can be a bit tricky at times). That doesn't say much for the overall controller layout and gameplay interface. Difficult for those who want action now, Ten Hammers is more about patience and clear tactical thinking than just charge the room with guns blazing (doesn't work in the real world...sorry).

i mean don't get me wrong but the first game was better. This time, the game controls are even more advanced and you can't just breeze through the game no matter how good you are because the computer's AI is pitted against you;even if you follow the guide in the book the enemies would still kill you no matter how good you are. there is no "quicksave" in the game; (this sucks because you'll have to restart alot)and the saving point that is in the game are few. this game show signs of being rushed out into the market (for example, in the bridge section, it is unwinnable, you got to do a cheat to get to the other levels; clear sign of being not tested in the market).I do not recommend this game to beginners. I bought it because i thought that it would be good as the first sequel. Don't get me wrong, this game isn't all that bad. There are few times when it is actually fun and the graphics are quite realistic. However if you Do finish the game, it gives you a sense of accomplishment.

Ten Hammers is by far one of the best war sims on the market today! Realistic graphics, actual squad based warfare tactics, enemy A.I. that advances as your game play does, and I can go on and on! This is a must have!
