Men of War II Review (x1)
I've played previous games of this series. And i got no words for this game...
FOW - ~200 h
MOW 1 - ~600 h
MOWAS - ~200 h
MOW:AS2 : AS2 - ~500 h
MOW Vietnam - ~100 h
CTA OSTFRONT - 1000 h
Please let men of war be men of war not company of heroes.
(Main Menu)
Honestly when i booted up first time this game i was confused menu it's nowhere similar to previous games. Getting into single player is also confusing because there is story and historical?? Just why this cannot be like in Man of war assault squad 2. Just have everything in one place. To make it more fancy?? But this still doesn't make sense because u got in historical bonus missions and there u got mixed nations. (BRUH) So this is ain't fancy at all and only disorientate players. I don't even want to mention conquest and raids missions they are just bad. (Im gonna talk abt it later why they are bad) And why they are here? In single player also in previous games this type of game mode was in Multiplayer or Dynamic conquest (CTA) this doen't make sense. I didin't yet touch multiplayer and im afraid of it looking on it just from menu...
Objectives on multiplayer?? Mulitplayer WAS fully for fun and there was no rewards for it and it was GOOD but here now u got types of divisions / units for multiplayer... I don't even wanna try it if enemy player gonna have better units than my it's gonna be painfull to play. AND WORST OF IT there is a seasons........ WTF THIS IS RTS , STRATEGY WHY TF IS SEASON ONG.
Game play is in same time noob friendly and unfair asf.

MOST IMPORTANT
Man of war was unique game where u just can create your mini squads with random units for example. You could just create mini group (idk 4-5 units) with 50.cal browning cuz u stole it from usa vehicles. Ofc specific units could use one gun better other worse but U decide abt it how groups look like. Here u have specific group variants. Example. U call mg squad and boom in group there was 4 units 2 of them died and now what? Noting u can do nothing they just died u cannot mix up with other group. Now troops can shoot while moving so u can be fucked by rushing AI. What this means? On multiplayer is game changing. On previous games if u fortify yourself you become really powerful that was reward for spending time on building fortifications. You weren't that easy to kill. But now u can spam troops to machine gun and one bigger group can kill machinegunner inside it. Another important thing BUILDINGS you just can say hello to Company Of heroes here. Bulding becomes bunkers. Rocketlaunchers/AT grenades/Mortars does almost nothing against buildings. Flamethrowers and dynamites are only real good option against buildings. Now clearing buildings is stright up bs. Don't forget about teleporting Npcs inside buildings! What i mean nps have tendencies to teleport themselfs from danger. I mean that. example: NPC is on second floor he shooting from it to my units and npc inside got shot so quickly he teleport to other side of the building to heal and after that he comes to same place as before. OR even funnier some buildings are in half sinked undermap so only second floor is above ground so what can happen? Npc can teleport from first floor (underground) to second (aboveground) and ONE TAP near units if using rifle.
Other problems:
Control menu is so bad made. On first glance good luck to find how much your vechicle have fuel. Other thing if u want to throw grenade by using in game binds don't be suprised your entire squad gonna do it. Multiple times i wanted to throw ONE smoke grenade and after that 4/5 guys decide to throw it.
Mortar: DID U GET ANNOYED IN PRVIOUS GAMES BY THIS SH*T?? HAHA IF U CANNOT HANDLE IT IN PREVIOUS GAMES U WILL BE FUCKED BY IT HERE IDK WHO WAS THAT MENTALLY ILL TO MAKE THAT ACCUATE MORTARS LIKE SNIPER RIFLES OR EVEN MORE ACCURATE ON GOD EVEN CONFESSION WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS.
So summarize it YES this is still man of war but REALLY BAD MADE. Do not buy it's not worth it. This is sad how they tired to recreate Company of heroes. I CAN SAID ONE GOOD THING ABT THIS GAME GRAPHICS THIS GAME LOOKS INSANELY GOOD but that's it.
BUG : So in options there is to disable fog of war. Ha ha not for u fucko this shit doesn,t work HF
