Men Of War: Assault Squad

[JG52Krupi]

Does anyone else here play this?

I just got it on steam with a deal (75% off :cool: ) and I have been doing some skirmishes with my brothers, its bloody good fun!

Compared to Company of Heroes the later lacks any kind of realism and barely any tactics whatsoever, really if any of you guys are in to RTS's you really need to give this a go.

Only thing I have to say is that there is a bit of micro management, but running out of fuel/ammo etc just adds tones to the atmosphere :D

Yep men o war series is awesome. ;)

I think they have free demo for some games in the series on Steam. Liked it.

I'm very fond of it. I enjoy the micro management and love that every guy has a name and a separate inventory. I get the most fun out of playing for the Russisn side. Nothing more satisfying than having a handful of your guys blow the track off a tiger and hide in its lee, picking off the crew as they emerge and taking the thing over. The Dgen mod is outstanding, as you get to keep all the meteriel you liberate from one mission to the next.

I have been playing the Men of War "series" (Faces of War, etc.) for a long time. They are brilliant fun. CO-OP is a blast too.

Good to know, I have it installed but have been playing coops, the ai is kicking our ass though!

I own those games but I don't like micro management in a RTS. It would be better if you can pause the game.

Hey Krupi I just picked up the collectors pack of MoW so Ill give you a game some time. A few of us are also gonna give DayZ a crack with Arma op arrowhead, so if you dont have it you might wanna consider it. :-P

Shame it wont let me gift the new MoW I got, as I know got it twice...

Sounds like fun to me :D

I am still getting used to the sheer number of things you can do in the game, its incredible!

[Bewolf]

Played it to death a year or two ago already with the DGen Campaign. It's a great game, a little gem hardly anybody knows about. I am looking forward to further releases, though Vietnam (Or was it Korea?) was not so much my thing.

[Feathered_IV]

Vietnam wasn't so good. The original is still my favourite, although the English. voice acting in the cut scenes is almost spastic. Resident Evil bad, but the battles can be huge.

The latest one, Condemned Heroes is good too. Doesn't ship with co-op, but there is an unofficial mod that fixes that.

This looks good. Only problem is the guy has been promising its imminent release for a couple of years now. But who knows, one day maybe.
