Men of War

Pyr0

Anyone else playing this game ? A mate and me play online most nights, it's a brilliant game which is massively overlooked. Can be a bit tricky to get the hang of but some of the games you can have are amazing.

I played CoH for awhile a few months back, I never really liked it once you got into all the strats and tactics, I much preferred bashing out a few games with mates and not worrying about build orders and whatnot. With Men of War you don't really have build orders, the heaviest tanks can be taken out by a single soldier with an AT grenade or molotov or can be flanked by a cheaper/faster tank, that's what I love about the game.

I can remember one Tank V Tank game, russians pushed us back with a line of IS-3s against our 2 King Tigers. I saw an opening on their flank and rushed a panther through it, took out 7 IS-3 tanks with that one tank. That was it, game over. We were losing by a bit before that too !

Trying lowering the difficulty level. The last missions of the campaigns can be really tough alright.

I never knew there was an expansion but i've just googled at it seems your right. I'll keep an eye open for that because i played the first two and they're great. Cheers for telling us!

Sephiroth_dude

The voice acting makes my ears bleed, is there a way of having subtitles only?

Pyr0

Oh yeah, the voice acting is actually terrible. Thankfully the voice acting in Red Tide is MILES better.

Sephiroth_dude

Whats red tide like?

A pic I took today thought it looked cool.

This looks amazing, no idea how this slipped past my radar. Will try and pick it up on the steam sale. Currently £20 for the gold edition but might get it cheaper in the next couple of days. Looking forward to trying this out.
