Thanks to C3's Jacob4000 and Darkspine S for the tip.

Finally - the one thing the first one really needed! Smilie

We'll be having some serious C3 Co-Op battles and what not. Rate all my maps high or, I'll take revenge. Smilie

It also seems that they are heading back to the basics more - cutting down CO powers and getting rid of the "Dual Fronts". That pleases me considerably, I think CO powers and TAG powers are too strong, and the dual fronts always struck me as a gimmick.

I've only played the first Advance Wars, but I loved it. I might get this version if I ever buy a DS.

I love how the DS is a lower powered console, but it always has better online functionality compared to the Wii.

The fact that at the moment, AWDS2's online sounds much better than BWii's online... hah.

No, it actually does not. Even if AWDS2 is real time it can not match the chaotic gameplay of Battalion Wars. Not only can a gamer control all the units but he can also play the game from a third person perspective, which adds more depth to the game.

I'd actually agree with mOojc. With Custom map trading, wifi fights, and Voice Chat, I'd say Battalion Wars and Advance Wars are very similar to each other as far as options goes. And if BWii doesn't get voice chat, then in my mind, Advance Wars may have the more feature filled and robust Wifi mode of the two.

You know you can always play BWii while using AWDS2 for the voice chat. Smilie

Is it just me that thinks from the images I've seen, this looks like a step back rather than a step forward, in the same sence Cel shading was in my oppinion.

Enoch Powell was right, and you know it.
