Yep!  And they're pretty dangerous too if you can get close enough to pull them off.

Yeah, me and a friend had this idea ages ago. Its fairly horrific, imagien it, you have a bunch of soldiers hiding in an abandoned barn, they're low on ammo, the only truck to escape is still being fixed. They finally fire their last bullet, they soudn the retreat, the only thing stopping the hoards of the undead are the mines left down by the previous inhabitants... Then its goes dark....

So much fun to be had.

I finally got this game and I love it!
Add Asheron if you want to be humiliated! ( But not really )

Also, a zombie mod would be awesome.

I've been replaying the campaign missions and I must say... were they always these easy? Wow, talk about skill level improvement! I remember having so much problems with snipers and mortars originally, but now I crush them without batting an eyelid.

I guess playing tonnes of multiplayer really improves your micro skill.

I am indeed, the master of strategy games. You should all bow before me.

Wonder how the flame tank will perform in this game. Will it set itself on fire?

Too bad units sitting on tanks and other vehicles can't shoot. If not we can load up a flame tank with flame infantry and have like... a moving wall of flame!

I recently found this is my "games I should probably finish sometimes this decade" pile and re-installed it. I tried the loose missions instead of the campaign to see if there were less rage inducing "enemy shoots a fuel truck on the other side of the map and the explosion sends a tractor flying which crushes half my army when it lands" moments. I set up around the farm, sniper in the grass outside, bazooka and a .50 cal scavenged from the starting jeep in the house, rest behind the surrounding walls. In waltzes the enemy half track and a shot from the bazooka smashes the face of the front gunner, killing every single german in the back. I gleefully order everybody inside it and find out that it has 0.7 units of fuel remaining. Yay for stupid railroading. Everybody calls me an idiot for not liking this game but every time I try to enjoy it I immediately run into something completely opposite of why everybody thinks it's awesome for.

It also annoying how many enemies are scripted to have infinite ammo, so they will be shooting at you for hours, never running out, but once you get in the vehicle it doesn't have unlimited ammo anymore...

EDIT: oh yes, and the auto option for the AI tends to get your guys killed...
