Faces of War
Faces of War (originally known as Outfront II, Russian: В тылу врага 2, or Behind Enemy Lines 2) is a real-time strategy and real-time tactics war video game developed by Ukrainian developer Best Way and published by Russian publisher 1C Company. The game is a sequel to 2004's Soldiers: Heroes of World War II. Whereas Soldiers had the player controlling a handful of squad members alone in enemy territory, Faces of War engages the player and his squad in massive battles fighting alongside AI controlled squads. The game features a full 3D engine allowing the player to have much greater control over the camera compared to Soldiers.
