Refund Request.

Calm down, this is not false advertising
It is merely a bit of chaos release, after all it was actually meant to be release 6 pm GMT according to the Steam Store page. This is also why we don't got a CD key yet (thus Coop is only available over LAN).

Also, you may rest assured there IS multiplayer in the game. You can actually try it out: simply copy an MP map from another MoW game (assault squad works too) into your map folder. You can then start a multiplayer game over LAN on that map

And I tried it out - the MP is identical to MoW. That means (even without mod support) you can simply copy any map (any game mode) and play it with the Vietnam units.

I don't guarantee correctness of this post, I might have just said rubbish.

My understanding is that Men of War: Assault squad was to remain the series' main multiplayer game and Men of War: Vietnam had always been intended as purely a singleplayer/co-op campaign experience. That's how they advertised it from the very beginning. It's possible that it was Steam's fault for making the release rather confusing.

toatally agree. In fact, I bet Vietnam Multiplayer might be released as a DLC for MOW:AS. (obviously this is just a guess)

For the one who didn't buy the Special Edition, you would have to put out $4.99 to upgrade your standard version to get the Special Edition Exclusives,

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...

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.
