About Act of War: High Treason
The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed game Act of War: Direct Action picks up where the techno-thriller left off. On the eve of the U.S. Presidential elections, simultaneous terrorist attacks hit both candidates. Clues point to corrupt elements within the U.S. military, but also to the shadowy organization known as the Consortium.
You take on the role of U.S. Army Brigadier General Jason Richter, a career soldier and former commander of the 1st Special Forces (Delta Force) who has been given control of an elite new anti-terrorist unit: Task Force TALON. From massive enemy assaults to delicate hostage extractions, from classified spy missions to search-and-destroy onslaughts, Task Force TALON is deployed to engage the enemy in hotspots around the globe. Using near-future weaponry, Richter's men will be pushed to their mental and physical limits to contain a powerful unpredictable enemy bent on toppling the governments of the world.

Позорище. Издевательски долгие загрузки для игры которой 20 лет. В середине кампании у меня начал полностью пропадать звук в игре, а новые задания в миссии просто перестали появляться из-за чего я даже миссию закончить не могу.3 found this helpful
A classic RTS in the style of C&C - Reminds me a lot of Red Alert. Good game. Good skirmish mode.3 found this helpful
Act of War: High Treason, developed by Eugen Systems and published by THQ Nordic, is an expansion that builds upon the modern warfare framework of its predecessor while attempting to broaden both its scale and tactical depth. Set within a tense, techno-thriller narrative involving political conspiracies and global instability, the game continues its story with a tone that blends military realism with cinematic ambition. It doesn’t reinvent the formula, but it refines and expands it in ways that make the overall experience feel more complete and strategically layered. At its foundation, the gameplay remains rooted in classic real-time strategy design. Players gather resources, construct bases, and deploy a wide range of military units, from infantry and armored vehicles to aircraft. What distinguishes High Treason is its effort to push beyond purely land-based warfare. The introduction of naval units adds a new dimension to battles, forcing players to consider additional fronts and rethink how they approach engagements. Combined with the inclusion of mercenary forces, which provide specialized units outside of standard faction rosters, the game offers more flexibility in how player…2 found this helpful
campaign is a buggy mess if it weren't for the chapter skip, I never would have beaten it I'm pretty sure there's a bug with every time the game tries to create a constructor unit for task force talon, that just causes the game to crash, not fatally, but it just immediately kicks you to a screen that expects you to load a previous save, like you just failed an objective, or let an important unit die, just without the big "defeat" on top. This hit me twice throughout the campaign, and worst of all, it hit on the exact last mission. The ending is just 2000s cgi feet anyways, so feel free to miss out on this one if you were dying to try the campaign, it might be worth it if you somehow got into multiplayer, since it adds a few new units and what not.
Honestly, it's just bad. The original is AMAZING! But the level design is just awful, and these games live and die on the campaign. 99% of the challenges in the campaign can be summed up with the phrase "oh no, we don't have access to "X" units for this mission, good luck!". It's just bad. The pathfinding is awful too, units don't do what you want them to. Balance is awful. Over all, just don't.
Like the main game, not so much this DLC. Some terrible level balancing and bugs.
