Lots of complaints everywhere. Haven't bought the game yet. Not sure whether I should bother.

Don't wait until the game is less that 5$ to buy it, it's extremely buggy, impossible, and the multiplayer doesn't even work..

I think that one of the major lackings in both Vietnam and AS (the only two that i have) is that unlike COH or any other WW2 or otherwise strategy game, there isnt the option to play a multiplayer battle against the AI, i am not an online player, 1 my internet sucks, 2 i easily get frustrated at other players because i am a defensive player and will spend hours building a impossible to breach defensive line and i will be overrun early on because of this, i like playing against the AI, if Black Ops can have an AI for combat training then why cant MOW have one for the same purpose. Other than that i am impressed with MOW AS, Vietnam is a letdown, i waited and waited, and when i first played it i got killed off in 3 1/2 mins on the easiest difficulty, not that i let something like that slow me down, but then i used the little cheat thing to unlock all the levels and all of them were equally as hard, aesthetically pleasing, but lacking in creativity in my opinion, I am a modder, i want to improve games, but i cant improve something that is far too hard to begin to improve.

Assault Squad singleplayer pretty much is multiplayer against the AI, isn't it? the game is skirmish-based and the enemy keeps throwing units at you, while you keep throwing yours against him.

the other installments, including Vietnam, all have a story-driven singleplayer campaign.

Yeah but what im talking about is like playing against the AI on the multiplayer maps, sure the skirmishes are fun, and hell i find them challenging even using the editor to change stuff, but i would much rather be able to play against the AI on a map i create that is say 4v4 rather than have to play against human players.

Your talking about the kind of skirmish that I was so looking forward to playing(I think). A traditional style skirmish where you pick your maps, funds, units, # of AI players, that would of been great. I still love MoWAS (SP) but it would of been great.
If MoWV is anything like the other games then you can tweak in all kinds of stuff.

Me too, this is a step backwards for the MOW series.

A step backwards, more like time travel back to the 90's, lol. These guys could have done so much more with Vietnam, I am a computer science major at the University of Michigan, I see this as an utter failure on their part, I could have done a better job with a handful of modders and a couple of graphic designers. The only thing about Vietnam that i really like is the graphics, hell they even changed around some of the most basic controls which has thrown me off completely.

and how many released games do you have under your belt that would make your opinion in any way more relevant than anyone else's?

Assault Squad changed the controls. Vietnam is true to the series' previous entries.
