Red Tide player Review

[August Schreiner]

From what I can remember some personnel of the SS-Totenkopfverbände (concentration camp guards and administration), the Allgemeine-SS and other organizations served in the SS-Verfügungstruppe which was basically the predecessor to the Waffen-SS. The SS-Totenkopfverbände Standarten or regiments along with the SS-Heimwehr Danzig would form what would become one of the infamous formations of the Waffen-SS, the 3.SS Division 'Totenkopf'.

Anyways, that's off subject.

In regards to Men of War: Red Tide, the plot, ideas and new features it offers are fresh, but why not make that freshness last by adding multiplayer support? Afterall, I'd have to think that the overwhelming majority of players want multiplayer to be included. The new features in combination with multiplayer-support would only give them even more of an incentive to buy and play it.

I know that the single-player campaign in Men of War: Red Tide is based on the memoirs of a soldier in the Soviet Naval Infantry or the Black Coats, but I don't think including a few single player missions for the Axis, including the Romanians and Italians would hurt. Why not utilize these new forces for great opportunities of ideas for new missions? Afterall, I think some players would be interested in their perspective since they're often overlooked in regards to the Eastern Front and the war in general. Perhaps a mission involving the Romanians in Operation 60,000 could be done. This operation was a rescue effort whose objective involved evacuating Axis forces from the Crimea, of which is arguably comparable to that of Dunkirk in terms of the manuevers and dangers involved.
