What's the point of this game with absolutely "NO" new features? Why don't you improve anything, why don't you correct mistakes from past games? If you don't want to do these, why do you remove past good features?

Where is beatufilly designed and exciting missions, detailed maps, mod support, map editor, large scale battles? Why can't we even use this shitty helicopters? All I see in this game is lots of trees, weird enemy AI as always, dozens of enemy soldiers and a small squad of soldiers which usualy gives a headache to babysitting.

I couldn't try multiplayer features yet. (I am having some issues when starting the game and on multiplayer screen. Just verified game files, it has started to download 2 of them again.) But I hope there is something new worth my money. Hope multiplayer modes are funny and I hope further missions are not as unpleasant as first ones. (By the way, how many missions are there in this game?) Or it will be last time I wasted my money on this series. It makes me sick I bought same game 4 times with no improvement on game engine. Seriously, how many did it take to finish this game? 2 weeks?

I enjoyed really much past games of this series, I was looking something like that for a long time. But this game is disappointing. Men of War: Vietnam should have been a mod made by players, not a game which is 40$.

definitely this is a MOD, not a new full game ...

even the voice acting of the US GI's is the same as from the ww2 mow series

and for the rest as voice acting, honestly.... lol i think i would go with static images & just text/subtitles for mission briefings without voice at all, either that should be done perfectly or just remain modest and minimalist, but not at unprofessional level as it is now.

if i was only the owner of 1C company , i would have immediately either 1)fired the current art director of MOW or 2) hired a new one

Lots of complaints everywhere. Haven't bought the game yet. Not sure whether I should bother.

Don't wait until the game is less that 5$ to buy it, it's extremely buggy, impossible, and the multiplayer doesn't even work..

I think that one of the major lackings in both Vietnam and AS (the only two that i have) is that unlike COH or any other WW2 or otherwise strategy game, there isnt the option to play a multiplayer battle against the AI, i am not an online player, 1 my internet sucks, 2 i easily get frustrated at other players because i am a defensive player and will spend hours building a impossible to breach defensive line and i will be overrun early on because of this, i like playing against the AI, if Black Ops can have an AI for combat training then why cant MOW have one for the same purpose. Other than that i am impressed with MOW AS, Vietnam is a letdown, i waited and waited, and when i first played it i got killed off in 3 1/2 mins on the easiest difficulty, not that i let something like that slow me down, but then i used the little cheat thing to unlock all the levels and all of them were equally as hard, aesthetically pleasing, but lacking in creativity in my opinion, I am a modder, i want to improve games, but i cant improve something that is far too hard to begin to improve.

Assault Squad singleplayer pretty much is multiplayer against the AI, isn't it? the game is skirmish-based and the enemy keeps throwing units at you, while you keep throwing yours against him.

the other installments, including Vietnam, all have a story-driven singleplayer campaign.

Me too, this is a step backwards for the MOW series.

A step backwards, more like time travel back to the 90's, lol. These guys could have done so much more with Vietnam, I am a computer science major at the University of Michigan, I see this as an utter failure on their part, I could have done a better job with a handful of modders and a couple of graphic designers. The only thing about Vietnam that i really like is the graphics, hell they even changed around some of the most basic controls which has thrown me off completely.

and how many released games do you have under your belt that would make your opinion in any way more relevant than anyone else's?

Assault Squad changed the controls. Vietnam is true to the series' previous entries.
