yess paratroopers thats gonna be awsoume and emplacments wow cant wait for this one

i did enjoy the original, an interesting slant on the standard strategy formula. i just wish there had been an offline skirmish option

THE FATHER WAS A WELL-MADE GAME;you could change the way of your war every moment you want;the graphic was generic,and the gameplay was smooth and campaigns was good but has limited;i wish this one go better;

I loved Battlestations, and am very happy to hear about this. Should be awesome, and look incredible, especailly since the last one was just a port of an Xbox Original game.

I quite enjoyed the original as it was a break from 'The Norm', I remain very optomistic about this one.

Gruug, get it for the PC then, just dont forget to upgrade you CPU, GFX card, memory etc... lol

well this is interesting, loved the first one, hope the second one is better tho, on online, i never managed to play online on that game...hm..

Well the only other place is the battles between britain and germany so they could have gone for both sides of the naval war!

it would have been nice for the series to get out of the pacfic, but its nice that theres going to be 21 new units and a japanese campaign. cant wait.

good news

This BS:M game was more of a console game then a PC game. The PC game was just too "casual" for my tastes. Controls were not well thought out. And, if you wished to play online...you had to stand on one foot, whistle Anchors Away and say the Japanese alphabet all at the same time. Was just not a very PC freindly game. At the time, I thought this might make a much better console game but even then I doubted it. I guess my tastes have moved beyond the "simple".

Battle stations: Midway was an awesome game and I still enjoy it today. A sequel would be a for sure buy for me. If they improve the graphics and tighten the controls for their air combat this would be an outstanding game. It is one of the best air sea combat games on the 360. It would even hit a major score if land combat was added with naval and air support. Glad that Eidos sees it the same way! Can not wait.

Dude, I can't wait! The first one kicked ass and took some names. Hope the second is better than the first. It would be the perfect combat game of that catogorey.

I hope Eidos makes a PS3 version, too. I had the first one on the PC, and I'm not much of a PC gamer. I would have definitely liked and played the game a lot more on a console (that I have... I don't have a 360 yet)

Battlestations Midway was horrible I got and in two hours I returned it.

Wooooooo!.

I rented the first one and hated. This does not excite me.

The first one was fun but hopefully they fix all the multi-player bugs that made the thing ALMOST unbearable to play.

They need to add more offline functionality to the game. Hopefully you can do skirmish games against the AI.

the battle of the Atlantic would be horrible. Its just u-boats vs. destroyers, and only the Bismarck against the British Navy. Thats it. The Pacific Theater is much more interesting for Naval warfare.

no germans? omg what happend to battlestations atlantic i want my bismarck dammnit lol

cool

AWESOME... i thnk the first game was one of the most under-rated games of last year...

I wasn't a huge fan of the first, though it wasn't a bad game, so I might check this out...but to be honest, whenever I hear of Eidos' next projects, I pray that I read "Legacy of Kain" somewhere in the text...*sigh*...the wait continues.....

Yeah, the demo for the first one should still be up. It was pretty decent...if I actually had money I probably would have picked it up for the 360.

Hell yeah! One of my favorite under-rated games. Glad to see it's back!

As long as they improve the graphics, Im stoked :)

Can I drop the A Bomb?!!!

never played the first one, but for some reason I'm excited about this.

graphics needs upgrade definitly. its hard to make a large scale game have nice graphics but thats how gaming dev life is

hopefully this one will be more popular, the first one is a damn good game

Hope they upgrade the graphics and online play, to really max out the games potential.

Sweet, the first one was pretty good.

it would be nice to play as the japanese

Loved the first one... hope this is better.

Maybe they will fix the most pain in the butt thing i foudn with teh first. the fact you couldn't have inverted flying controls and keep the boats controls the same, was incrediably lame. i tried for hours trying to get it to keep the planes inverted and the boats not, with no luck on the 360 version. if they fix that in this, this could be great, because in my opinion, that inverted issue was what really held the game back.

WoooooHoooo!! :D
