Refund Request.

I'm giving 21 days from the date of this post to correct/rectify the horrific issues with this game, until I publish my thoughts and that of MANY others (quoted from steam and this forum) in the group's sites and forums.

Mhm, its almost funny to see how desperate many people are trying to get a refund/support etc. Well, if it wasn't so sad that is.
I don't think this will change anything but I hope that 1C (or whoever developed this "Game") realizes that my trust in the quality of Men of War series has dropped... my next Men of War game will certainly NOT be a blind buy again. I hope others think the same.

funny, the official Steam group has over 300 online and some 100 playing. yet the complainers can be counted on one hand. and they seem to be same ones over here as in the Steam forum...

all i'm saying is keep things in perspective. a lot of people apparently don't have as many problems as you do, or they aren't as bothered by them. and a patch is on the way. how about giving them a chance to start fixing things? there's nothing else remotely constructive you can do, as you probably won't get a refund.

I have to agree with Nedley- I am pretty disapointed with the game.

I and a bunch of my buddies enjoy playing in skirmish mode together, as a team, and I don't see that as an option. I get two guys to crawl around and throw knives? You have to be kidding me! WICKED FALSE ADVERTISING.
The fun of the game is deploying units and gaining ground as a team. I would take a refund right now if I could. I don't understand why game developers have something that people like, and then they make huge substantive changes like this. or fail to see what it is the gamers are doing with it and don't expand on it and capitalize.
All game developers are missing the boat on cooperative play. That mode is always the ugly sister in game releases, and it should be given priority. The first game that makes it so will take off. Gamers WANT this mode. I enjoy playing with my buddies to gain ground and win a battle cooperatively. The lack of maps in previous releases for this mode is a drag as well but I still play it, as I will now finding myself disapointed and disgusted with MoW Viet Nam.

This series started with squad based battles. That's when the cool things about these games were important. I started playing SHoWW2 but I think there was one before that. In the next one FoW the squads got a little bigger along with the maps. With MoW the large-scale battles started and then Gamers started complaining about all the micro-managing. So OK MoW, MoWRT, and MoWAS big battles lots of units. Now MoWV back to the squads, sounds cool!

Seems to me they make enough money that they could accomodate all the players of the game. Instead, it is obvious they just wanted to make it easier for them$elve$.
Looks like MowVN was really a follow up to MoWRT not MoWAS.
i'll be pushing for a refund. Looks like I am done with MoW series. My buddies and I played CoH for years, until we found MoW AS. I thought I would be playing for a long time.

Arjuna is absolutely right about SP focus in Vietnam. We never said that it would give same MP experience as Assault Squad. Vietnam was developed by the same team as Red Tide and at the beginning any MP modes were not planned. Complaining about the lack of MP experience in this situation is a bit strange.

Complaining about the lack of MP experience in this situation is a bit strange.
How disingenuous is that statement? This was like going into McDonalds to buy a burger, and they give you a tuna roll.
Not every gamer reads every written nuance about an upcoming game. If you play a game and you like it, alot, then you look forward to the next one. Typically it has the same name as the preceding game so you feel safe in assuming it will be the same sort of gameplay. Is that stupid or naive, or wrong to expect that? I don't think so. All you have to do is watch the trailer for the game..one of real gameplay.. and you are MISLED into believing you would have control of units shown in the trailer. There should have been a disclaimer about the game on every ad, or download page that this is not the same type of game as the previous. Instead I see "coop mode", in the release details, and what does that mean? That you get to share one squad of 5 guys and crawl around and throw knives? So lame guys, seriously. How great would it have been to re-enact Khe San for example? How about a list like this to work with that would have allowed players to control either side in these epic battles? http://www.vietnam-war.info/battles/ There should be player controlled units of every kind and at least the ability to call in F-4 napalm bombing runs, gunship attacks, artillery...etc etc etc.
Your company failed to see what and why MoW AS was so succesful and why they picked up so many new players, and you failed to disclose and or deliver.
