Default Assault Squad - Beta testing

I am considering to buy beta test time for Assault squad, altho I think it's a pretty ridiculious offer, for 15 euro! However, I would like some opinions of what you guys think of the beta, and if there is some sort of tutorial.
I tried playing the Men of War demo, but there was no tutorial, I think, and I didn't feel like finding all things out by myself.

Dude, buy the first men of war. Multiplayer AS doesn't need more newbs.

^^, I like to be up to date with the games I play, so you'll likely encounter me, sorry.
The first mission might be a tutorial, but how am I supposed to know the controls? I would appreciate a helping hand, not because I can't figure everything out by myself eventually, but because I don't wanna miss out on things or take along time learning them.

It would have been a good idea to be a tester a month or so ago, but you should wait till the full game is out.

If you need to know what the controls are and how they work study the manual.

1. I don't care what u like dude, please, please, please don't buy AS. This is because it is MULTIPLAYER Game. men of war is MUCh better for newbs. also MoW will probably be better overall. it is great fun.
2. The controls aren't really hard. if u want 2 reconfigure them just go into the control menu.
3. You can only buy BETA Assault Squad. Once that beta time runs out - u got 2 buy AS again.

I know that, thanks. But really, what are the chances I play against you anyway? Why would I get used to an old system for 30 euro or so in order to buy a new system for 50 euro later, I might as well get used to the new system for 15 euro now.

Default Stop now...

Nikitins,

If you don´t like to see "newbs" in the MoW:AS beta testing, don´t play with them - simple as that. You can´t tell people what to buy and not to buy just because you feel superior and don´t want to see them in AS. This is very childish behaviour and you know it.

MoW:AS is supposed to be a game for everyone, not just a small circle of "elite" players...

Ohmow,

Both MoW and the upcoming title MoW:AS uses basically the same controls that the older title Faces of War used. That game had a quite good tutorial on how to use the controls etc, even if its combat system was very arcadish compared to MoW/MoW:AS. There are a few controls that has been removed in MoW/MoW:AS and also a few new options has been added, like the fact that you can reconfigurate the game controls to use standard RTS controls instead of the default controls.

Which game you should buy really depends on what you prefer: MoW has both SP Campaigns and MP (although the SP Campaigns aren´t that interesting to play in my opinion since they basically are the type "Hold ground at all cost") but the MP part can be quite interesting when played with the right players.
MoW:AS is directed more towards MP but the full game will come with 15 Skirmish SP maps, which can either be played alone or with up to 4-player coop.

Ohmow you can get regular MoW for like 12$, thats like 8 euro or something.
Not 30, either way its totaly worth it.


But if you really wanna play AS, your probably gonna have to learn it just by playing alot. See what allies and enemies do etc..
Normaly the best training anyway.

MoW takes time to learn. With or without any tutorial. I have seen people with like 400 games and they still play like beginners.
