I can see the recent MoW players, but the SHoWW2 players

[Slowhand]

Couldn't agree more with the OP. When forum posts began complaining about MOWV's difficulty I thought 1C had finally gone over the top in a franchise already renowned for its grueling gameplay.

However, after playing the first VC mission, I realized that these opinions most likely came from inexperienced players unfamiliar with the franchise. As a veteran of the series since SHoWWII, I easily beat the level w/o breaking into a cold sweat. We'll see how I fare on the remaining ones. I'm not terribly worried, though.

Regarding the often raised second complaint: having closely followed the game's development, I'd always anticipated squad-level, commandos style missions, not big battle scenarios. In fact, MOWV reminds me of the series' lesser known second title: Silent Heroes: Elite Troops of World War II.

So far, I'm enjoying MOWV very much, and am grateful for this addition to one of my favorite franchises.
