Great game - 2 issues though :(

[Mack the Knife]

this is hardly a misguided view

let's not quibble but the AI may be lacking in some respects in your opinion, it may not be the best out there in your opinion but IT IS NOT terrible. we've ALL seen terrible AI in games and the AI in MoW is far from that as illustrated by my point with the hand grenades. had you said the AI is lacking in some respects, the AI needs some improvements in certain areas, then OK. but you're misguided to state that it's terrible, which was my point.

Well, it turns out that the first level - which is all I have played - is a very dumb down version of things to come - therefore it is excusable that the AI does hardly anything in terms of AI intelligence - which is terrible!!! in the first level.

I look forward to playing through and getting my ass handed to me, thats of course after I run around with my arms held out trying to catch it after its been blown 50 feet high b/c of a nade.

I've been told the sound does improve a lot as well..

Think it may be a problem at your side unless its been adressed in my version .

The wind effects had me checking our windows i was convinced the sound was coming from them

amazing game , bought 2 copies for LAN

I agree with the sound. Unless I have my speakers cranked at max (which im running 6.1 surround) I dont hear anything. The wind/rain is the only loud noise I hear, on the levels that has it. Other wise, I might get a few cannon blast here and there, but other then that, its quiet. And unless Im zoomed in right on top of the tank, I cant hear them either. Checked all my sound settings, and the game settings, and everything is maxed. Am I missing something here as well?

Please, let me jump in here and make a comment about this sound issue.
What are you looking/listening for? The higher up in the sky you go, the less sound you will hear. Now, that's very realistic.
You want birds and squirrels? Hey, it's a battlefield and the animals have all run like hell. They're not stupid.
Get yourself down to ground level and listen, just like you were a real soldier.
The sounds are there. It's as real as it gets.
Use hear phones if you really want an experience... Sony makes ear buds for about $20 and are worth every penny.

Mater of fact, this is the most realistic war game I have every played. It's fantastic!

Yes, I do realize that the futher up you go, the quieter it gets. But unless im zoomed in right on top of the tanks, I dont hear squat. Not trying to start a pissing contest to anything, but I do work around tanks in real life, and them things are loud as heck, even from a good distant away, especially when they fire their main cannons, or the MG's on them. But, like I said, maybe its just me, or my speaker set up, not sure. Just seeing if anyone else noticed this at all.

Maybe try to watch a few gameplay vids:

If they sound the same as for you in-game.
Ofcourse tanks in-game are not going to ear damage you, but I really don't have any problems regarding the volume.

recently did the 3rd german campaign mission where its the fuel depot.

i told my driver to drive he wos on the road then he just drove into the fuel tanks and i failed the mission.

is it just me or do they suck at driving.

Whoa, firefox83, I meant no disrespect at all. You may need to adjust your sound system. I have two speakers at the present time so stereo is all I get. If you have surround sound, try going into their adjustments and try a few things.

Sorry if you took what I said the wrong way...

My point was to mean that they have done an excellent job with the sounds, IMO.
