Why You Shouldn't Buy Men of War: Cold War 

Honestly, the health bar dictating a vehicles mechanical function is the stupidest thing they could of done. The helicopters are an amazing new addition, and this had so much potential. Honestly, this is such a shame. They'll learn that this isn't what people wanted by the lack of sales.

Video game devs: we’ll send Rimmy 4 copies. Maybe he’ll promote it Rimmy: don’t buy it

HEALTH BARS IN MoFW? WHAT IS THIS HERESY?!!!!

*Truck with metric fuckton of rockets pulls up* "LAUNCHING ATTACK!" *Fires one singular rocket* "Rounds complete! Returning to base!"

9:20 i love how an HE round didn't kill Vitaly at point black range BUT a single rolling tire knocked him out instantly... (best game 10/10)

Aw man, its sad how this videogame series died so tragically :(

It's like the devs were actively trying to make an unplayable game

There are two things to take away from this video: 1. This game is a dumpster fire 2. We need more men like Vitaly

6888% effectiveness of one kill that's how I feel when I play some fps games.

Truck: takes a medium caliber HE round and stays fine The same truck 30 seconds later: get touched by a tank at 3-5 km/h and explodes

This game is a war crime 9:20 if you look closely you can see that vitaly tripped on a tire

Men of War: Assault squad 2 with mods like robz Realism is great.

This is what we call "Strategy", 10:30; proceeds to get squad of VDV murdered as they exit helicopter, then I realise that after Rimmy screams for about 20 seconds that this is par for the course.

10:30 VDV Lands at Hostomel Airport, February 2022 (Colourised)

“This is what we call strategy” *gets mowed down normandy style*

Normies: Rwanda Me, an intellectual: Rowanda

Look how they massacred my boy.

rimmy you saved me from my friends from sending me more minecraft auschwitz.

I want this game to disappear from my memory. This game should not exist.

This is literally just a reskin of Call to Arms which was mediocre at best. And they still haven´t delivered everything promised for that game.

Thank you for your noble sacrifice. You have saved many wallets.

The MoW series was built on a “realistic” depiction of combat. Them introducing health bars to vehicles and dumbing down the ‘content’ it offers was a massive mistake on their part. Unfortunately that seems to be the trend DMS has taken on recently, ignoring what’s left of their community in an attempt to get some extra cash.

That feeling when you get a game for free, and you feel "I paid way too much for this"

10:40, an acurate recreation of what the actual VDV did

How is this a real game in 2019?

10:30 POV: Hostomel

Hahaha this is pretty late for an april fools joke haha ...This is a joke, right...? Right...?

you should have played flight of the valkyries earrape in super low quality to match this shitshow off a game

It's terrible to see that, the mod cold War on men of assault squad 2 was better... And it's a mod!

Imagine creating a quality non-indie game in 2019

11:56 that Soviet Sniper while being a female had a masculine name. I almost don't want to believe that the developer from Russia screwed up Russians names.

10:26 Little did we know that we were looking at early footage of Russia trying to take Hostomel airport in Ukraine

My grandpa participated in the Cold War, he would send this to the camp

10:25 probably hits a Little Different in Russia today

10:26 VDV. Take off the strip! 200 men on a one way trip!

And this was what allowed gates of hell to take over

11:56 the female sniper was called **aleksei komnev**

God did that VDV part age well

Wellp, back to playing Terminator Custom Skirmish on Assault Squad 2, anyone got a link to the Cold War mod?

"This is what we call strategy!" *lands in front of a squad of infantry as they are unloading*

Wow, this game sure does suck.

9:20 did a wheel killed him?

I found this game on the floor of the backrooms.

The stuka siren sound on all crashed airplanes actually goes back to the original Man of War!

Cold war was a war were two world powers keep crashing helicopters into each other

its literally a reskin of call to arms lol

Watching the VDV get wiped the moment they left the chopper was surprisingly realistic in retrospect.

I have a feeling this game isn't very good

Instead of making more men of war games maybe they could make men of war 2 actually not shit without mods

Just like rimmy playing this game all the units wanna die

Imagine enemy having a Humvee and your t72 hitting it but it not exploding to smithereens

Even RU-vid refuse to acknowledge Men of War: Cold war and instead called it Men of War Assault Squad 2

>VDV lands on the objective. Gets instantly obliterated. Yep. This game is accurate.

I'm going to pretend I didn't see this. The health bar on Vehicles is atrocious and disgusting.

I just found your videos Rimmy, I heard of you in the past, but never really stopped to watch your vids, but I went on a binge and I can rightfully say you bring me great entertainment. Thank you.

Why was the icon for the M1919 on the tank a PKM?

Random soldier: "I'm prepared for anything" (Sees rimmy flying a heli backwards) Random soldier: "CALL BACK!!!!!" THEY'VE MASTERED SKY COMBAT Rimmy: "HELP ME"(laughing maniaclly )

“Quick! Everyone hide inside of the M113” That has to be the first time anyone has ever meant that as a serious suggestion.

Its SOO BAD. I remember Assault Squad 2, and to a lesser degree Call to Arms, and those were both pretty damn good. This...this is not good. Not at all.

Last time I was this early Australia was still a penal colony

The guy who thought it would be a good idea to have rimmy review his game, is currently regretting that decision lol

10 out of 10 for historical accuracy

Yeah. Arch didn’t like it, you didn’t like it. So that’s all I need personally.

Players: "Hey, so, like, assault squad was pretty good but the vehicles seemed kind of squishy and unarmored. Can y'all fix that next time around?" The devs: "hehehe, health bar go kaTHUNK

Just get World in Conflict instead. Or Tom Clancys End war.

10:26 Turns out this is indeed what the VDV calls strategy, and it went about as well for them in Ukraine as it did here.

Hey rimmy, the VDV thing is now doubly hilarious!

Only allowed to choose USA as player force, tanks can't do shit to other tanks. Feels like someone tried to make a statement and someone else had a different opinion about it. That pause and being able to admire the explosion in it's full from all sides is the best feature of the game.

10:26 to 10:36 the VDV's performance in the Ukraine War in a nutshell

Rimmy, you ever tried playing Men of war assault squad 2 with the 40k mod? It's russian, but has an english version. Copies units from dawn of war. There's some missions for it on the workshop

My friend played it on release day and he must have fought a soviet heli with a vietnamese pilot cuz he could hear the chopper but couldnt see it until it had killed all his crewman from behind

I have a question: How do you set up AI opponents in Men of War assault Squad 2 I originally found it through trial and error them I've forgotten how to do it and there's basically no where to find out how is far as I've tried

It's crazy how a game that looks so amazing especially for when it was made, has some how regressed

Some day i want to have as much courage as the developers had when they sent out REVIEW COPIES FOR THIS GAME.

They havent made any graphical improvements and performance progress since Faces of War (2006), me and my friend was astonished how you could drive a tank through a building or even extract ammo from it and blow it up outside of the tank, the physics was very impressive, but we had then like 10-20 fps or even low, it was just tragic..

Rimmy have you played the UWM 40k mod for this game? The 2.0 is coming out soon and it’ll add all the other factions in except for like 2 or 3. I think it’s pretty fun.

Thanks Rimmy! I was actually excited to buy it. Thank God I went to Spain and couldn't buy the game as soon as it came out. Now I won't.

How is this such a Trainwreck, MOWAS2 is good.

8:44-9:20 reminds me of a corporal that taught me about "The Anti-Tank Pike"

thats really sad, i have really fond memories of being one of the best players on the 2nd one(and whatever red tide was, i think that was just a campaign), this was before assault squad one came out and that one was so great to lay ambushes for people, I would hardly use tanks unless I was covering a wide open area because anything a tank could do, one single dude with a Molotov can do better. Most games id kill 2 or 3x of anyone else in the game and lose hardly any points because the only unit id use was the super spammy light russian inf because every single dude had 2 molotovs which just one could kill a tank or an entire squad of inf and just spread them out Mix in flame throwers, a few at guns, and a couple of light vehicles that can plug gaps quickly was the most op strat ever.

so they went from ultra realistic losing your tanks across the town to some world of tanks bullshit with healthbars for tanks... glad this landed in my recommended i was going to buy this crap

A worse version of Call to Arms and call to arms is free

I mean Company of Heroes also has health bars for their armor, but then again Tank vs Tank has a lot more impact and it has such things as side and rear armor weaknesses as well as the fact that hand-held AT is not the end-all for Tanks.

The rotors on that helicopter are dummy thicc and the clap if it’s wingy cheeks is alerting the RPGs

ITS OUT NOW?!

I am very early. And just whenI I was about to leave. Meh, socializing can wait.

The first two were good. Men of war 2 was fairly good. I just wish I'd gotten to play more with water stuff like that battle barge you could find on one of the maps of the first game possibly only after the patch that added the Japanese army.

What I don’t undersrand is.. Why didn’t they just spent the time they spent on this game on men of war assault squad 2? They could have so easily added the new graphic improvements and such into men of war assault squad too, not only bringing back one of the best RTS games but giving us a RTS we so desperately need and want...

honestly the updates fixed some of the stuff, and removed the health bar and became more like as2 but i didn't want as2 i wanted improved as2, i wanted air AI and for people to mod air ai from cold war to as2, also call to arms started as an unplayable piece of junk, and right now its been fixed too, don't get me wrong i hate that now games do this type of shit but mow did it for a long time, i'm in no position to say if what mow does is bad or its okay because of what type of game it is so yeah i'm just the messenger

*Sees tank fire on Helicopter* Battlefield players: Normal Everyone else: WTF Me: Totally logical. Also Kamikaze Helicopters.

Also just to add to my last comment, I think giving the vehicles a health bar is meant to reduce the amount of times where in assault squad as an example tanks even the heavy tanks would be knocked out/destroyed with just one or two AP rounds but they did it in such a shitty way, they could have had the health bar but make it so that AP rounds did more damage not chipping away at it!

Is this something they released after call to arms? That still had the loacational damage to vehicles

"We've been going through the reviews and we are sorry we didn't match the expectations for a new game in the series." -Digitalmindsoft September 12, 2019

10:19 Just a fidget spinner...

FOR CADIA

This is why I disable the fog of war for the campaign in assault squad 2, this would require the fog of war to be off by default however given that the helicopters CAN’T spot anything from the air until their landed!

Are you sure this is a new game? This looks more like a MOW:AS2 mod, and not a particularly well-made one at that.

WTF? This is a downgrade form MOWAS2. I don't get it.

That moment you realize MOWAS is just reskinned Faces of War... I was kinda expecting this.

PT-76 bounces multiple shells even tho its armor is so then a pistol can sometimes bounce of it like how?
