My mate's raving about it, says it's like Company of Heroes with big, brassy bells on.
There's a demo here which I'm downloading right now. Apparently SP isn't great, MP is where it's at.
Got this today.
Been out all day at a rope rescue instructors course training day and just got home. Mrs has picked the game up in town and will be home soon with it.
Will report back after I've installed and played it for a bit.
Really looking forward to this, one of the reviews I read of it recently said it was "The best strategy game I've played for perhaps a decade".
Wow!!.
Yeah but they probably said that Farcry 2 was the best FPS for the decade too. lol
Never trust a review these days. Too many goodies passing hands.
"But then, Men of War doesn't need a slick Hollywood narrative to succeed. It does its stunning storytelling on the hoof and on the battlefield. It writes its dramas in blood, and fire, and bullets. Buy this game and you're buying a thousand spontaneous war stories. Buy it and you are buying that rare thing - a military RTS that doesn't have to bow and scrape in the presence of the magnificent Company of Heroes".
Gah, saw the thread title and thought it might be big sailing ships blowing the **** out of each other
Damage to armour appears a bit weird as well. One minute your T34 can be doing fine, then the next some enemy infantry troop chucks a small anti tank grenade at you and your entire tank is destroyed. Seems like there is no progressive damage to me although I could be wrong. At least there is nothing to tell you if your tank is damaged, save for a small diagramm in the bottom left of the screen display which shows track damage etc.
