Commandos 3: Destination Berlin

It's World War Two all over again in the 4th installment of the Commandos series.
 PC

Overview

Commandos 3 is actually the fourth game of the Commandos series developed by Pyro Studios. It is yet again set during the second World War and Its structure and gameplay is mostly the same as in previous installments. The games campaign mode is actually separated into three different campaigns all taking place in a different theater of war.

Although the gameplay is very similar to previous games, there are some changes. Such as the introduction of new weapons such as the assault rifle and changes to the inventory setup. Also all the commandos can use weapons such as grenades, which were previously only usable by the Sapper. For commandos such as the Green Beret, who previously could only use a pistol, can now use mostly all of the weapons in the game.

A new cover mechanic was also introduced into the game, which gives commandos the ability to cover an area, ready to automatically shoot any enemies that close in on his location. It is useful for covering doors. Area covered is displayed much like that of the line of sight displayed on guards. This made it much easier for the commandos to defend themselves from a frontal assault and is much more accurate than manual fire.

The number of commandos was reduced from previous games to just 6. These are the Green Beret, the Diver , the Sniper, the Spy, the Sapper and the Thief. Commandos such as the Driver were removed, as their special abilities (in this case driving) can now be carried out by other commandos.
