Lack of Variety

[Fred DM]

the problem is that Vietnam seems to have been developed more as a stand-alone expansion for the original MoW, similar to Red Tide, not as a sequel.

another problem is that the game is sold at full price or almost full price in some regions. thus people expect a sequel, not an add-on, which is probably where a lot of the disappointment stems from.

for an expansion, Vietnam offers decent content. how often do you see an entirely different era in an RTS expansion, including new environments, units, weapons, missions?

Anyone know if someone is creating the othere types of vehicles such as M35A2, armerd cav m113 track, or even a chinook, Iv seen on youtube and noticed people are creating modren aircraft and tracked vehicles that are used today in there MOW modes, and I have been trying to get with some of those people to have them create some of the vehicles and aircraft of the vietnam war. I do love playing this game, and some who are also moden day vets and guy in our group who served in vietnam loved to play it too, with the editor we are recreating small battles to major operation with our modes, such as operation masher/white wing and have been sucsessful with all the test to start the maps as they during the vietnam war. The game is greate I just dont know why the nva forces have a heavy utility truck and the us dont, maybe the developers will bring new vehicles and aircraft at a later date.

my spelling may be offline a little didnt have time to check

Aircraft in MoW seemed to be more of a last minute addition and no real time went into them. The reason aircraft are just call ins in this game is becuase thats the best way to use them and really id imagine thats how they were in RL, you call in the strike they run it and fly off, its not like they linger 50ft above the fight waiting for new orders like ground forces. It would be nice to see some more done with aircraft but I dont see it happening anytime soon.]

Also, the lack of variety is why I tend to not like modern day-ish based games like Vietnam and stuff. Past WWII its just M60 Vs T54, Abrams vs T72, Bradley and BMP, MiG vs F15, AK47 vs M16, SVD vs M24...yeah it gets boring and WWII had more stuff and games tend to add more of the variety in WWII games...
