Game too hard to be enjoyable

If you seriously have trouble on easy mode i suggest you stop playing dumbed down arcade style RTS games and try playing one that requires real tactics.


Now as for the "if i want stealth i'd play splinter cell" comment - Well of course you would, that's just a stupidly pointless thing to state.
The games are entire genres apart. You are comparing an actual stealth game set in modern day, about a highly trained spy with high tech gadgets at his disposal..With a WW2 RTS game, with no spies, without gadgets and that never once says it is a stealth game.

If you had played Commandos (one of the first proper stealth series) you would realise the great job MoW have done with their stealth missions. They are aware that precision/timing/patience is required, as opposed to todays games with dozens of gadgets and lack of realism. Not to mention the fact that most Hitman/Splinter cell games can be completed just as easily by running around guns blazing..Yeah, real stealthy..


Don't blame the developers for making a game that actually requires you to think and plan ahead. It's a nice change from the typical war RTS games everyone else releases, and it's hardly their fault that you can't complete the levels, even on easy.

If you don't like it, don't play it.

Well Said. Nice to see a Commandos reference. MoW can be frustrating, agreed. However, it is the only game I have played where I can go back over and over until I get my timing/strategy right and still enjoy. I was really worried when this title was due to come out that it would be "dumbed down". I was absolutely delighted that the devs have not done gone down this path. I always try to play a game on normal level but for someone completely new to MoW or it brilliant predecessors maybe completing a few missions on Easy would ease them in so to speak.

ATTENTION! this is a game for the real thinkers, this is a game that requires you to think and use strategy, this is undoubtebly the best strategy game i have ever played it puts every other real time strategy game (world in conflict, c&c, tiberian sun, company of heroes age of empires etc) to absolute shame! it makes every other rts look like a little baby kids game this game has NOT! got the attention it deserves and it deserves a 10/10 some missions are virtually impossible eg the first 2 bonus missions the russian 7th mission and the entire allied and german campaign they might as well give you 1 rifleman and tell you take over all of germany and thats what i like about it its so enjoyable its not our fault that some of you are too chicken and babyish to appreciate and enjoy a good game that actually requires you to use your brainpower and tactical thinking unliek other games where 2 armies square off and the one with more people or stronger tanks wins the game, this is the only game that i have used at least 20 percent of my attention on completing so if you cant do it dont complain go and play your babyish tiberian sun or world in conflict something this is a REAL strategy game for REAL thinkers

when i first played i was like oh great another boring rts game so i played on hard, when i played the first mission i got beaten completely, even easy is hard! then during the allied campaign i really came to understand and appreciate such a good game

Sure the game is tricky but its not that hard, i dont reload every time i lose a gun i just lose it, i always seem to find a way some how, alot of the time i lose my my stuff but you can steal enemy things and you can use your AT nades they are killer, the game really isnt that hard but im 25 when i was a kid games were REALLY hard compared to todays kids

I'm not a fan of the generic RTS games because they are very formulaic, by that I mean the mechanics are the same whether you enacting a fantasy, historical or post modern conflict. I have however, found this game to be refreshing in its approach.

Hard? Yes, but it reflects the fact that real war is hard and unfair! For me it is precisely the attempt by the developers to bring a sense of realism into this game which makes it stand head and shoulders above any other game in this genre.

For sure there are bugs and it is damned frustrating when your plan (if you had one), falls apart. The key is to think, the only barriers are the limits of your own imagination in how you use the materials littered around the battlefield.

I've only just played the Sevastopol scenario and I lost; historically that is accurate as the Germans captured the city on July 3rd 1942, but it does not deter me from trying again.

So stop whinging and try harder, think, plan and employ real tactics for a change!!
