CLASSIC & REALISM MODES?! Men of War is BACK. 

It doesn't look bad. It's still a good alternative game, but yeah. Somehow, Gates of Hell still holds the crown.

I was optimistic going into this game, but tbh, i played for about an hour and am now waiting to refund it. It's so so so much further removed from previous entries than even this gameplay lets on. It feels like im just watching a battle happening with little to no control, which isn't necessarily bad, but this isn't in a good way. They added a lot of new things that i like, but they got rid of/changed most of the old stuff that i liked. The new fortifications are cool, i like the ai getting reinforcements, being able to create formations, and intricate trench systems is awesome. But everything else just feels so casual and arcade like. You can barely tell whats shooting what, it just looks like shits randomly exploding all the time, if you weren't literally watching the guns fire you wouldn't know what happened. Honestly you'd have to almost play it yourself to really get just how off it feels. Imagine if a new cod game released, a sequel to like world at war or something, and you loaded it up and it played like fortnite.

Glad to hear they are working on offline mode for single players and mods. Gonna wait till its on sale though

Just some fun facts for you champ... At Kursk, a total of 259 mark V Panther tanks, about 218 mark VI Tiger 1's, and 91 Ferdinands(Elephant) were deployed.Now,out off all the 3 new models,only the Henschel-Porsche design built on the chassis of the infamous VK 45.01(P) self-propelled gun found under ordnance inventory designation Sd.Kfz. 184 or in plain english FERDINAND/ELEPHANT,suffered high battle atrittion rate('bout 75%) due to a lack of sencondary armaments(machine guns)in infantry engagements.The biggest losses that where inflicted in that battle on Panther and Tigers where in an uncleared minefield just west of Prockorovka in the deployment phase of the battle,which made Blitz Heinz(Heinz Guederian) fumingly request to Hitler himself,that the pioneer regiment that was given the task of mine-clearence in that sector,should be shoot down to the last man for treason.Otherwise both Panther and TIger1 tank designes performed exceptionally well ,making mince meat of anything Ivan trough at them.Hence forth the continuation of both programs till the very end.Kursk was their baptism of fire.

My favorite moment in mowas2 was getting outplayed 9/10 times but spamming Russian infantry to control the command points and winning last minute by killing a Konigstiger with a Molotov. unfortunately they made infantry squads much smaller in this game and I fear I wont be able to have this fun.

4:57 nice friendly fire

iirk the Panthers at Kursk were early versions with a few tech issues later sorted and many were disabled by poor German mine clearance.

There are some useful tips spread throughout the video like the line spread of infantry with recruits and then how to double dig foxholes (including key presses to do it all). Maybe a video that focuses on these sorts of features would be useful? As a new player to RTT, I would find it helpful.

Damn game looks goofy compared to goh

Jeeeez, what a chaotic intro! AI went for you bro 🤣

Hello Sherman, may i ask you which microphone you are using?

Hearing that there's the realism mode I feel like I might pick it up once I see more of it, currently no one I know has it so that puts a damper on the whole coop campaign, and convincing my friends to buy it full price might be a bit much.

It almost seems like a made-to-order cameo, but I imagine they will fix it over time, at minute 3:22 the Panzer 38T has the schematic design of the M15/42 like in the original Men of War

Know just how you must have felt with that. I was stuck up a couple of hills when the enemy rushed me from an unsporting direction.

The hate people have for this game is wild. It's an absolute steal at $45. I'm also skeptical of the so-called "veterans" because I've been playing this series for a very long time and the game is perfectly fine to me.

Does men of war have a first person mode for the units like gates of hell

Really nice !! thanks sherman for the video.

Reading through some of the reviews on STEAM, a lot of people are saying Men Of War Assault Squad 2 and Gates of Hell were a lot better than Men Of War 2. Not the results I was expecting from a game that was delayed for 8 months.

I just wish someone would do a unit showcase of all vehicles and emplacements, maybe even the bunkers

Hey, I have two questions: -Is there a test mode? -Is there an option to turn off fog of war? (Like in mowas 2)

what mode are you playing here? and does the realism mode work in conquest?

Anyone claiming this isn't a horrible launch and just a worse game compared to other mow games is lying to themselves I'm sorry.

mmmmmmmmm idk chief, this looks way too casual like COH, I think I'll stick with CTA:GOH

Honest question Sherman. As a long time fan of both MoW and your content, is this game a solid buy now or a wait a few months/years kinda deal?

Is the game speed a bit faster compared to Gates of Hell? It seems so to me when I watch the video.

Time to bring back the duo's with Baron Von games?

3:16 that armored car is driving in reverse, or not?

Don't know why I should take this over Gates of Hell. It looks worse, sounds waay worse. Maybe that it has more theatres of war already?

12:11 This is literally how Russians (Official army and Wagner) use their expendable conscripts. I've read that in a recent RUSI report about how the Russian army is operating in Ukraine.

I managed to find a cheap key from fanatical for the deluxe version so I thought I might as well while there are still keys available. it feels different from the Original MoW, it also has elements of Call to Arms in there too giving the game the modern feel while still using GEM2 Engine. When playing a quick round it sort of reminds me of MOBA but without the base stuff you have to destroy.

so where is tank hp people talk about it ?

I feel like it tries to be Company of Heroes way to much. But separate man units with ultra fast paced combat in a tight map.... It's frustrating experience in chaos. In Goh maps and ttk are balanced along with somewhat realistic guns ranges. I don't wanna talk shit about MoW but they kinda did this to themselves. Not understanding their unique niche to fully use its potential. First Moba'ish Arena, then scrap it cause no one wants it including themselves, then sticking to arcade scraps that also don't invoke excitement, then "classic" but with same recycled arcade tuning. The only advantage I see over Goh is far better performing engine. Ironically, if this game get modder like Robz (dev of Goh) and makes his mod for Mow that can potentially be better than Goh.... than maaaybe... Due to engine they seemed to be able to pull of cool mechanics like with medics and retreats but they still from arcadish scraps.

look what they did to my boy

Just bought it, can’t wait to play

MoW might be back, but is it too late for it?

My birthday lol

The classic mode as a standard is once again another insult to the players. Having health bars as a standard even with the option to turn it off tells me what the devs think of their playerbase.

so if the game got delayed what did they change? This looks exactly the same from beta except theres a campaign. The UI still looks god aweful, the vehicles move like an arcade and you feel like you have much less control over the battlefield. Hard pass on this especially with the publisher cracking down on anyone being slightly negative.

Already mixed reviews? What's going on?

No 3rd person mode for infantry and the tank one is weird to use is a big letdown for me. Gates of hell just did everything right while Men of war 2 did everything wrong

no realistic in this game

The problem is that his still is a mobile game. This is a factual statement that this was MOW Arena before they delayed it and you can tell. Everything is worse then GOH or MOWAS2. Only people calling this a good game are the youtuber shills who have paid to.

Men of war assault squad 2 was the best (with robz ofc) wish they made a remake with that and added more countries, settings and more quailty of life improvments, cause this reminds me more of a mobile game.

Pretty sure Panther design was already existed since 1940's but manufactured in 1943

I thought you were going to say the 10th year of the Ukrainian war. I hope all is well. 2:24 this looked like car driving in south central LA that ran over a land mine during their drive by. I heard it's crazy down their Remember American History X. That a brutal movie. No holds barred.

The thumbnail looks better than the actual game ngl (Not saying that MoW is bad or anything but I personally thing GoH is just better).

Somehow it looks and feels more dated

Nah, looks terrible, I'd rather 1000% play remastered mowas2 with upgraded graphics. Currently GOH Ostfront is #1 WW2 RTS

this looks like discount Gates of Hell with a 2005 UI 🫤

Pretty arcade no where near the standard of the older games the only thing this game has over the others is more content and always online sucks...

Man these animation for infantry are just disgusting. Lol, Gates of Hell is superior product here in all aspects. This is just garbage. What we wanted from proper Men of War 2 was completely new engine. Even if the game was bad, the new engine maybe would give it some future. Why would you buy this instead of older MOWAS2 or Gates of Hell. This game has identity crisis, we wanted Men of War not Company of Herous 3 that was already a garbage. Oh and dont start me with that always online bullshit. At this point i know that I will pay for another Gates of Hell dlc with more satisfaction that this game would bring me. If you guys want some intresting RTS buy Regiments or Gates of Hell, not this.

this game looks awful tbh

Color palette looks dull

ALWAYS ONLINE GAME extremely sukkkk

Not worth the price imo.

boring arcade game

It looks nicer, but the gameplay is worse than the slop the AS2 is.
