I am very happy I ignored the reviews and picked this up on sale. I have really enjoyed it! I can't comment on the multiplayer as I'm more a single player type, but the campaigns have been fun and challenging. There are some bugs that need to be ironed out, but all in all there is nothing game breaking. If you are a fan of single player WWII RTS, please give it a chance!

Men of War 2 is an interesting innovation to the Men of War series. While I agree with some of the negative reviews that the game feels half-baked and does have some issues, I feel that while it's on sale? It's a good buy. The game is fun and was clearly designed around having a massive multiplayer community, however unfortunately due to its price point and lack of effective marketing, has failed to do so. The singleplayer for the game is challenging yet simple, and the only trick I seem to have with it is finding multiplayer lobbies. There is a realistic mode which converts the game into something more familiar to Assault Squad 2. Many of the complaints compare the game to Company of Heroes, which I simply disagree with. The game plays like Assault Squad 2 with a few quirks that are a bit questionable at times, yet I find myself thoroughly enjoying the game. Despite the small size of the consistent and active community, the games' Developers have continued to support it and provide new content since its release in May. My only word of advice for new players is to buy this game when it's on sale. For the size of the active community, the lack of mods, and the short-list of singleplayer content, the game is certainly not worth it at full price.

I wanted to love this game. I really did. But despite this, I still prefer Gates of Hell. But it is a pretty close call. I'll break my review up into bullet points to address what I can, comprehensively. Here is why I didn't like MoW2: -The fighting between infantry feels more arcade-y; however this doesn't seem to be the case with vehicles. -The graphics look more cartoon-y -The always-on DRM can be a bit annoying, i think However I did like a couple things, namely: -The dynamic campaign mode feels good and the random generation is interesting -The vehicle movement tends to be a little smarter, with less pathing issues -The UI, while being different and having a different feel vs GoH, is largely unobtrusive to the gameplay. -The matchmaking and ranking systems are interesting choices. While I feel this is somewhat in the direction of Company of Heroes (which is more arcade-y), I personally like the competitive and progression based aspects to these game elements. -The AI is largely improved on all-fronts, and there is some nice QoL with the AI vehicles (target indicators, etc) I think fans of the series might be a little disappointed, but by and large I think the devs have done a good job all-round, with some areas that could be improved. I'm looking forward to future updates.

[Updated] Things I'd like to note for potential buyers: 1. This is micro management intensive, deliberately, because you manage just a section of a large army on most game modes. 2. [The game now has an offline mode!] 3. There is no base building, however you can construct fortifications with certain units, such as towers, trenches, bardwire, lay mines etc. 4. There are lots of modes and missions, and you can play all of them with other players and/or AI. 5. Although the base price is quite high, there is a lot of content included. If this gets discounted its 100% worth snapping up. 6. There aren't many mods at the time of writing. 7. Devs release an update on average about once a month. 8. It's realistic, especially when enabling the realism mode. Poorly positioned units get punished, hard. 9. You can manually control each unit in 3rd person or 1st person depending on the unit type. [infantry won’t have the traditional 3rd person perspective until a later date, although you can still manually control them] 10. PvP community is slowly dropping, but I play more PvE so this doesn't affect me so much. The fact that the developers created quite good AI means that there is a lot of fun to be had, even with no other players around.

Really don't understand the negative reviews at all, there is a lot of content and pretty good models, the AI is the least jankie I've seen in this title. The game modes are fun and offer endless replay-ability, and streamline a lot of stuff that was annoying in GoH. Always needing to be online IS annoying at times, but I've only had one issue with this playing single player, and I'm literally in a place that needs StarLink in order to be online, So I don't really see the issue here besides people just not having a good internet connection, and also, the devs HAVE said MULTIPLE times they are fixing this mistake. which I agree with, it's a mistake. I play on realistic settings, so I have no idea what people are talking about when they say there are health bars. The sounds are terrible, they sound bad, I highly recommend the BattleField sound mod, its so much better. Combat feels fun, I actual can use scouts to scout positions without the AI just immediately seeing them and sniping them. also the garrison in building options is A LOT better than having to place my soldiers in the perfect position in a building in order for them to have a good shot at the enemy. and being able to have those troops fortify a building is great for holding locations from other infantry. The trench function is great, the only problem is having it cave in on troops and they just die, which is very annoying. but something you need to realize that will happen when you are the commander of troops in The Second World War. I've also seen a complaint about constantly needing to move artillery around because counter artillery and aircraft can track where they are shooting from and fire back at them. Ya, that is how real artillery works. Like look it up. ask a artilleryman what its like shooting and moving all the time. its a MoW title, its hard, you are gonna lose. Learn some defense in depth and hasty ambushes to counteract that. that is what the title has always offered. All in all its not perfect by any means. but I am having an absolute blast playing. and do not believe it deserves the ridiculous, Purist hate it is receiving right now. Its the same as most titles: "It needs to be exactly this way in my head or its a bad game!" Don't listen to them. and try it out
