The future of MOW franchise.

Soldiers Heroes of World War 2 was more or less arcade, remember the time when Tiger II could be owned by T-34/85 frontally?
But after SHWW2 things went very awkward, Face of War was like alpha/beta version of Men of War. Assault Squad 1 basically a mod to MOW (with more "realistic" armor penetration system and signs of polish)
Call to Arms will be more arcadish but i am afraid it will not alter the situation about MOW franchise which is more than miserable.

I doubt they even have the financial power to fund a true AAA game project.

No surprise, they should stop wasting money on pointless titles and focusing among other mainly on MoW franchise.

This increase in communication sees the on-screen unit count climb from the usual 50-70 units, to around 5,000 units. These 5,000 units aren't just mindless pieces of robots on your screen, but they can be AI- or physics-driven entities.

You mean that prokhorovka bonus mission ? I think it could be done with couple of shots from IS-2 to frontal plate only, anyway that appearance of IS-2 was of quite altered T-34/85 so yes.

How about if 1C Company, Digitalmindsoft and Best Way rejoin and license one of the AAA engines and make some remastered/remaked version of Soldiers Heroes of World War II, Men of War and Faces of War ???

There is nothing wrong on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_game_remakes

Would be really nice, just imagine all best from vanilla Company of Heroes (infantry combat and so on) and couple it with MOW mechanics.
And again about that "not enough money bullshit" how come that bunch of students (5 to be accurate) which just graduated few days ago licensed right AAA engine and not some old piece of .... ?
