just reading the above posts, i found the same with “soldiers Heroes of World War 2″ i played a demo that came with a mag and just jumped straight in playing it without going through the tutorials and hated it, it was only a few years later that i bought the game on a whim and sat down and went through the tutorial levels and man it is now one of my favourite games it’s just so much fun and open and replayable. once you know how to control the men in direct mode it’s a great game.

soliders was a great game, i got involved in playing around with my own mod for a while, tho it wasn’t fantastic.

recommended RTS game, esp now pc’s can handle that engine!

i used to hack the camera angles to get proper ground level views.

DEMO PLEASE!!!

These three games are not for general market, they created their own fanbase, from hardcore RTS fans, and other enthusiast, not like your regular company when it takes a genre, and fuks it up, just to have more sales, so props to them, and good articles as always RPS.

Steve says:

“Well I really hope they get the physics sorted out in this game. Faces of War slows even high end systems down to a crawl because of its insanely accurate physics.”

Yes, I had the same problem, even when my resolution and video details where at low. I hope they improve that in Men Of War.

In FoW you could inject morfine and plant a hedgehog, but I never understood when you could use this features. In the game you could find a crowbar and a axe, but I never understood where you could use this for.
I hope in the new game everything is explained properly!

Does anyone know when they release the game?Before or after the summer?

I am excited but at the same time worried. I really dug SHOWW2 when it worked (netcode, freezes, crashes). Then FOW came out with big promises, but it worked just a lil bit better (defo had better controls tho). I really hope the third time is the charm. I really do. In fact I feel like I deserve to be on the Beta for this.

What is great and unique in Soldiers of WWII and FOW is the direct control of a unit (tank or infantry), you are actualy involved in the battle and not just the spectator of a stupid AI that cant go past a bridge if u move more than 10 units. the AI here is correct nothing expceptionnal but it does is job as it should be.

i loved the way they handle projectiles and bullet penetration it look and feel so realistic, u cant play any other rts after that, they just look so poor… the sounds adds event more to the feeling of realism.

the game is pretty modable and allow you to change almost everything to your taste, you just need to dig a bit, a map editor is avalaible, giving acces to all ingame resources to express yourself.

as a side note the physics beeing slow was an issue introduced by ubisoft and the copyprotection and it got fixed in an early patch.

the story line of men of war look interesting and as said by the dev it will explore some other facets of the wwII than the overused hollywood america won the war alone …

i am realy looking forward to this sequels

Steve, physics and particle/debris rendering still look the same. They just optimised the code used so the machine didn’t crap itself every time something exploded.

Also, if you look really closely you’d find that the game actually put itself into slow-motion intentionally when it thinks something cool is happening, like the first time you see a tank exploding, or in that Soviet mission where a bomber takes out an AA gun.

Looking Forward to Drive the Porche “cof” Men of war :)
Best part of FOW was/is the moddability. The GEM (engine editor) included is a game in itself!

Men of War seems to be on the right track, improving where Fow failed while keeping the goodies.

ps: Just found out the Multiplayer Beta is coming soon, judging from the devs site forum!
