Best PC War Games
Some of the most popular pc games are those which fall into the military or war genre of gaming. These games which include strategy, skill, person to person, air and military tank pc games have become highly complicated, sweeping multiplayer events that offer players rich graphics, intense, realistic game play experiences.
The earliest military pc based games were crude and arcade like. Early pc military games provided very little detail and poor scenery. However, in the early to mid 1990's several games were released that revolutionized the military/ war game genre. Games like Civilization and Close Combat were some of the first in a long of historically accurate and exciting pc games.
Since the late 1990's, there have been an abundance of military strategy pc games released in the market. The latest release in the Civilization series, Civilization IV: Warlords was released in July of 2006 and promises to be one the best military strategy games to date.
Also popular, combat games, like Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, offer life like realism and lots of fast paced action. This is also an area of gaming that has benefited from the surging popularity of massively multiplayer online, MMO, gaming. This should be expected as the general premise of MMO gaming fits perfectly with the set up of most military games.

- Battlefield 2
Released in June of 2005, Battlefield 2 continues to prove one the best military games of all time. The game produces incredible graphics and allows up to 64 players, one two separate teams, the ability to participate in a single game. The main object of the game, set on massive battlefields is to snuff out and control all of the opposing team bases. Your team can be separated into different squads all headed by a single commander, giving the game some much needed structure. The use of a good headset further adds to the game, making much easier to communicate with other team members. The communication system is also segregated, with players being somewhat restricted in who they can speak to, just as in real life. Battlefield 2 is available for $37.99 at atomicpark.com. - Call of Duty 2

assigned patrols. You need to be wary of enemies overhead, as they can instantly send you sinking to the bottom of the ocean; however, there are also enemies below that you take down.
