I like the idea of fooling people rather than simply clashing forces. some of my sweetest victories on command and conquer involved a rudimentary distraction and an a.p.c. full of spys and mechanics. As long as it has plenty of content and sticks to the tactical side of things it'll be a winner in my book.

Warrior Kings: Battles used to have Illusionary Armies you could summon. I did some awesome tricks with those.

I don't know what to think of it, the ruse stuff sounds cool, but at the same time everything else screams GENERIC!, I wonder if the ruse stuff is gimmicky (just like EndWar voice thing), and considering Ubisoft recently picked up Massive and World in Conflict, I really don't see WHY I should be excited about this one.
and yeah, being multiplatform raises a lot of questions. |

Glad the reviewer mentioned Supreme Commander's zoom facility.
RUSE seems to have it's own niche too with the ten applications of RUSE. However, I'd like dispute the last thing the author said, which was about RTS games degenerating into who can bomb whom's factories with most effect. I'm sure WWII came down to that in the end! The manufacturing capabilities on both sides (and lack of) was quite important! |

I was quick to criticise it after seeing the initial footage, but in hind sight I think it's actually looks pretty alright. Far from what I'd want, and definitely a very strong boardgame element to it, but could still be fun. I get the impression the WW2 setting is just a graphical element. It's not really important what era it's in since the units are very simplified.

"P.O.I.N.T.L.E.S.S. .A.C.R.O.N.Y.M."
+1 Didn't the equally stupidly acronym'd but brilliant N.O.L.F. (or its brethren, J.A.C.K., surely) kill those abbreviated titles off for good? No? Oh. But frankly I'll let RUSE off theiR USE because it looks bloody gorgeous and has the potential to be pretty good fun. edit: forgot to add, excellent previewery that man Meer.

have to say the trailer peaked my interest and this sounds a welcome twist to the genre.
