Today, I want to talk about my recent “Big City Battle” experience. I saw some people online saying that urban combat is a real pain, especially with those UrbanMechs that are just awful in city fights. You really need machine guns or flamers for this kind of thing. And man, they weren’t kidding!
So, I jumped into this “Big City Battle” game. It’s supposed to be this epic fighting experience in the world of Big City Greens, with all sorts of modes to play. The idea of diving into a bustling metropolis and fighting it out on crowded streets and around skyscrapers sounded pretty cool. But it’s a whole different ball game when you’re in it.

First off, I realized that I had to seriously train in combat. It’s not just about button-mashing; you actually have to get good. I spent hours just practicing and learning the ropes. It was tough, but I could see myself getting better.
Then there’s the whole issue of resources. I found that recreating a city for these battles takes a monstrous amount of resources. Even a small 6×6 km area is a huge undertaking. It made me appreciate the effort that goes into making these urban environments in games.
I also started thinking about the principles of war they teach in the military. You know, things like Objective, Offensive, Mass, Economy of Force, Maneuver, Unity of Command, Security, Surprise, and Simplicity. It’s wild how these principles apply even in a game. I tried to use them in my strategy, like focusing on specific objectives and trying to surprise my opponents.
I remembered reading that in World War I, they would advance towards valuable terrain, including urban areas. It’s all about strategy and positioning. In this game, I tried to use the environment to my advantage, just like real-life tactics.
- Focus on training: Spend time learning combat skills.
- Understand resource limitations: Appreciate the work in creating urban environments.
- Apply principles of war: Use real-life military strategies in the game.
- Utilize the environment: Use the city setting to gain an advantage.
In the end, I managed to get a decent handle on the game. It wasn’t easy, but it was definitely a learning experience. It’s not just about the fighting; it’s about strategy, resource management, and understanding the environment. This “Big City Battle” really lived up to its name – it’s a big, complex, and challenging experience.

So, that’s my story about “Big City Battle.” It’s more than just a game; it’s a deep dive into what makes urban combat so challenging and intriguing. Definitely not for the faint of heart, but totally worth it if you’re up for a real challenge.
