This game shocked me when I first played it.
You don't actually shoot in this game, you tell your team where to shoot.
I thought this game would be something like Ghost Recon, but as it turns out it is far from it.
If I had to make a comparison of it to another game, I would say it's like Company of Heroes, and the way you your tell your infantry where to shoot, throw a grenade, where to breach, etc.
This game is a great strategy game, and pretty challenging.
When I reached an hour of gameplay on this, I was still on the first mission doing the tutorial.
I recommend playing on Authentic (difficulty setting).

If you've somehow found this game, that means you were looking for it...for a reason! Yeah it's not the most graphically astounding game due to it's age but there is not many games like it. You play as 1 of 2 or sometimes 3 squad leaders, commanding your base of fire and assault teams through cover and urban terrain. It's challenging and surprisingly immersive. The fire fights seem like a realistic simulation. The only other game in this format that I've seen in recent years is Brothers in Arms, also a great series of games but in my opinion a bit more glitchy in command orders. If you're into simulation, strategy and command you will love this game... unless you're a crybaby about graphics.

"Back in the day"...I read it so often. Being a 50+ gamer I chuckle. This is a game that challenged me no end when releaed and continues to give me challenges. If you enjoy squad-based tactical combat, then join in. It is simp[ly that much fun!

A sequel to the original Full Spectrum Warrior, Ten Hammers ups the ante significantly, in just about every way imaginable. More enviroments, more options, noticeably more challenging enemies and scenarios, this is a superb example of a follow-up done right. It also improves on a number of the technical issues from the original (i.e. HD/widescreen resolutions are now supported natively).
If you are looking for a challenging third-person tactical squad game/shooter, look no further. While it has not aged particularly well, the founding principles of the game remain as relevant as ever today. Be warned however - mistakes are punished and it will require patience, and likely many attempts, to get through to the end.
Highly recommended to fans of the original game, and for those looking for something strategic.
Played on Windows 10 Pro x64 without any issues.
EDIT: The basis for this game was used as a training tool/exercise for the US Army - it is not hard to see why.

I played the first game (for xbox/360) and loved the simple command system that allowed you to pull off complex orders and plans. Ten Hammers takes away some of the simplicity of the original with new and complex mechanics that are a bit hard to get the hang of but once you do it makes the game better than the first. The abuility to make a 4 man fire team into 2 two man teams replaces bounding from the first game, you are now able to aim individual soldiers wepons inorder to eliminate priority targets as well as the addition of breaching and clearing buildings. I will recomoned this game to any person who enjoys tactical/sqaud based staratgy games although I do recomened that you watch all the battle logs/tutarial videos and us a game pad.
