Check this out guys one of the best RTS games u will ever play.

These guys need to work harder at marketing their games. Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 was an amazing game, yet so many people have never played it. How come I have never heard of MoW Assault Squad?!

Not heard of either games - same sort of game as CoH?

*edit* ahh was Soldiers that game where you had a handful of men like an engineer that could cut through barbed wire and some guy that could bury/hide bodies.. was very much about stealth rather than gung ho heroics. Also remember guard dog patrols and staying out of search lights.

CoH but much much much harder. I think its better imo, no lame supression breakers and the infantry can actually hit each other

I love MoW, but why should I get assult squad? It doesn't say what the multiplayer adjustments are (I only play it for the multiplayer really). It sounds like you going to be able to call in specail abilities now (like coh) but I'm not sure if this is going to be a good thing or not.

That sounds like "Commandos".. classic game.. but not MoW

Men of War is a classic, lke COH but thousand times better.

I believe made by Russians.

Give it a try, anybody who tries it admits its thousands times better than coh.

Men of War is brilliant and the multiplayer excellent - at least until they patched it to make the soviet stuff horrendously overpowered and imo most of the vehicles became unbalanced. This patched never reached Steam users though, which is good. I had two game shortcuts, one for standard Steam version and one for the patched one (which introduced the Japs as a playable force).

Btw, Men of War demo on Steam for those who haven't played it

Men of War is the best RTS ever made. The editor is like your own personal ww2 sandbox world.

FirebarUK · 24 Aug 2010 at 19:34

Talking of the editor, loads of good maps from people walked through on youtube, e.g;

Sweet will give it a crack. Having been left phenomenally underwhelmed by SC2 this could just be the ticket

Sooooo, anyone buy this? My mate and I bought it on Friday and all I can say is WOW.

The Co-op skirmish matches are excellent, and we intend to dabble in the Multiplayer this coming week.

Maybe we could create a list of people who play it so we can get some games going?

shaggyd · 28 Feb 2011 at 13:38

Is it better than the original MOW? I have not played mp on MOW due to the rubbish Gamespy system not recognising my GS account (which works ok when browsing). Have they included a skirmish mode for SP yet?

Anominity · 28 Feb 2011 at 13:43

Well, I only got into the original MoW after it had been out for quite a while, and the only games I could get were russian, suffice to say I did not play much MP.

In Assault Squad, is based on Multiplayer, to the point that the ONLY single player games you can play are Skirmishes.

FirebarUK · 28 Feb 2011 at 15:11

Really enjoying it so far but its annoying that many of the MoW controls are remapped (grr!!!), as I was mightly confused at first.

On the plus side, Skirmishes are hard on your own, uber micro-management required. I can imagine playing with a friend is much better for this mode.

MOW, red tide and assault squad are the best RTS' I've ever played.

muttclugg · 28 Feb 2011 at 16:29

So can you just play SP skirmishes now as well?

never even seen it before

Cybergangster · 1 Mar 2011 at 02:05

I've enjoyed a couple of skirmishes so far. My internet is rubbish right now but looking forward to getting into some online coop soon.

I agree with the exception of Red Tide, that one did not do it for me. Starting with just a single (or sometimes two) squads of men, and having to "steal" anything else you wanted was too annoying.
