To be fair Thunder it's more like going in to mcdonalds and buying a burger you've not read the ingrediants of, and then complaining that it doesn't have what you wanted. You only have yourself to blame that you bought a game you didn't read up on, and it's ridiculous to blame the developers that it's not been suited to your exact prefrences.

It's not even the same studio which made Assault Squad. Digitalmindsoft, the guys behind assault squad, merely helped 1C with Vietnam.

Look, I didn't buy Vietnam because I read up on the game and realized that it wasn't what I wanted. I plan on getting it when it goes on sale in the future.

this. from day one the game was announced as focussing on squad-based special operations throughout the campaign. they even published biographies of the squad mates you were to command on the official website.

i, too, find it disappointing that they didn't include at least a few larger scale conventional battles as single missions (perhaps the 5 S.E. bonus missions are more in line with this concept), but i've known from the start that the campaign would focus - exactly like the original Soldiers: Heroes of WWII - on a small group of elite soldiers behind enemy lines. in a way, Men of War is going back to its roots with Vietnam.

ideally, however, they should have mixed squad-based special operations with large-scale conventional battles. perhaps following both the exploits of an SOG detachment behind enemy lines and a Marine regiment pushing on in parallel. that would also have made the campaign a bit longer as 5 missions per side aren't much.

Seriously, you expect an average gamer to know what studio did what? Come on, really. If that is the case, the Digitalmidsoft should have helped..MORE.
What you are seeing here from me, is a very,very disappointed FAN of this game. I doubt many average gamers talked as much about MoW-AS as I did, raved about it in fact, posted it on my FB, and clan website, encouraged and cajoled players to buy it, and am probably personally resonsible for 20 -30 copies SOLD.
I find it appalling that you guys will just skip over the logic I am conveying and dismiss it as , "Oh, he should have known."

yes, but surely you did take a look at the game's product description, on Steam or elsewhere. from the moment the official website was launched, it was clear that the game would focus on squad-based tactics. what has been advertised has been delivered, yet you claim to have been a victim of false advertisement.

not doing even elementary product research in advance of a purchase does not make you a victim of false advertisement. the information has been out there for months. it's your own fault if you decided not to seek it out.

that said, you certainly have a right to be disappointed.

yeah it's not misleading at all... like what was the name of the version of this game that I did like? Oh, that's right Men of War ASSAULT SQUAD

Well...you can call assault squads in the game right? jaajjaj

Now seriously, you should have read the description of the game. I like Red Tide so I bought this game thinking I would have a similar experience. You can't buy blindly.

P.D. Assault Squad is an awesome game but is MP focus. And I think the name is because of the skirmish missions. What do you say Instict?

so you admit you didn't actually take a look at the game's description, and now, somehow, it's the company's fault instead of your own?

if anything, Assault Squad is the exception in the MoW series. all other installments are rather singleplayer-centric and feature a story-driven campaign instead of victory point skirmishes. anyone who's played more than 1 entry in the series would know this.

Yeah Fred. I only played this one, for five minutes and then I came in here to have a pissin contest with you, defender of the faith, ffs.. Must be nice to know everything. I am trying to get some kind of reply from 1C admin.
I have played and completed the original, RT and AS. My #%$&*^% point is that the last game is usually, on this planet anyway, followed up by another more like it than the ones before that and I am disappointed they went back to the old way. Seems to me they could have fit some skirmish coop in a version about Viet Nam. It's a hell of an opportunity but I understand what the bottom line is. They have no interest in continuing to draw in an entire other category of player, and put no importance on keeping them. Enjoy crawling around 5 vs 200 with a knife guys, really. Anyone want my CD-Key?

I really like the sound of that!
