The future of MOW franchise.

Soldiers Heroes of World War 2 was more or less arcade, remember the time when Tiger II could be owned by T-34/85 frontally?
But after SHWW2 things went very awkward, Face of War was like alpha/beta version of Men of War. Assault Squad 1 basically a mod to MOW (with more "realistic" armor penetration system and signs of polish)
Call to Arms will be more arcadish but i am afraid it will not alter the situation about MOW franchise which is more than miserable.

I doubt they even have the financial power to fund a true AAA game project.

No surprise, they should stop wasting money on pointless titles and focusing among other mainly on MoW franchise.

This increase in communication sees the on-screen unit count climb from the usual 50-70 units, to around 5,000 units. These 5,000 units aren't just mindless pieces of robots on your screen, but they can be AI- or physics-driven entities.
