Big update is out.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt9X4gZjETYNow with more battalions and an offline mode for mudhut dwellers.
1. Did they make the game less arcade?2. Did they make the game fun?3. Did they make the game actually better than GoH / MoWAS2?
Is this game for multi player only? Does it have a good single player? I don't care about mmo.
>>18854541. It was never arcade, only retarded youtubers thought as much and if I asked you to explain why it's arcade you wouldn't be able to2. It was always fun3. Always was>>1885457It has 3 campaigns with plot/cutscenes and like 12 conquest campaigns
>>1885454This update includes a major alteration to the backend simulation intended to make it feel less arcadey. I don't know how much it changed, someone else will have to be the judge of thatI think it's fun personally but that's subjective Better than goh is a tall order but at least it runs better. I hope it will catch up in content over time.>>1885457It has 3 story campaigns, two dynamic campaigns and several dedicated PvE modes. This update finally added an offline mode so that you don't need an internet connection to play offline singleplayer, which was obviously a stupid thing to require in the first place.I'm in the process of clearing the campaigns myself now that offline mode is here. The Soviet campaign missions were great and I had a lot of fun with it, but the story was kind of weird and basically nonexistent.The US campaign missions were kind of ass and far less polished but they put a lot of effort into their weird band of brothers-esque story with lots of long dialogue exchanges and absolutely terrible voice acting. Slavjank kinoGonna try the German campaign this weekend, probably.
Any news about GOG version?
>take half a year to introduce offline mode>less players than its 10 years old predecessorLove to see them fail. It's well deserved after their greedy attempt with MOW: Arena.
>>1885503>introduce America for the 2nd time>playerbase skyrockets once againAbsolutely hilarious, and they haven't even touched the Pacific yet.
>>1885503>check it out the game that goes for two dollars on sale has more players than the full priced gameWoooooooooow?!!?I pity all the GoH cucks stuck playing their shitty, buggy, poorly optimized game because wehraboo youtubers lied and told them it was better.
>>1885503>Love to see them failNever understood people which take pleasure in failures of their beloved franchises.
>>1885515Barbedwire Studio is now carrying the torch of my beloved franchise.Meanwhile, those faggots wanted to turn Men of War into War Thunder-like F2P crap, and the lack of offline mode is one of the outcomes.
>>1885514nice cope, retardNow explain why Assault Squad 2 has more than double the amount of players.
>>1885526Because tons of cheap copies and being easier to run means more subhumans are playing it? Could someone please take this man away? He seems to have escaped his retard handler.
>>1885527>everyone who doesn't play my game is a subhumanlmao, your attempts at shilling are so patheticgo back to your discord server
>>1885531> The game's busiest hours are deep in EU times>N-noooooooo!!!! I swear the playerbase is not 99% broke, former USSR countries!!!!!Uh huh
>>1885539>game made by people from broke, former USSR countries for people from broke, former USSR countries>for some reason decide to ignore your playerbase>the game failsDevs seem quite retardedCan't wait for your next cope :)
>>1885541>durrr why new game no 10 bucks??Hilarious. Imagine pretending to be so dumb to try and win an argument. Your mom hates you, anon.
>>1885548>durrr why new game no 10 bucks??>Hilarious. Why not? GoH is regularly discounted at $10. Is Best Way too greedy to lower the price?
>>1885552Because GoH is a mod that has two factions with a sliver of content and like 5 DLC.
>>1885553And yet customers are more willing to play this "mod" than its competition, curious. Have you considered that the mod might be better?
I don't know why anyone in this thread is pretending like MoW or any of its clones aren't 6/10 AT BEST games.
Did they fix those god awful voice lines?
>>1885585nooo, you don't understand! Finally I can fight the allies fairly 1:1 with my undeadable panzer bunkers and mg42 spam! This is how it should have beeeeeeeen!
>>1885585>6/10 AT BEST games.4u
>>1885586A mod came out for it
>>1885558Cause StumFuhrer88 told them to buy it purely because it's ~hardcore~
>>1885647>nazi derangement syndrometake your meds, schizo
Why are these threads always full of so much shitflinging
>>1885674It's the same group of people.I came here to laugh at OP and his shitty game.
God I fucking hate AT guns so goddamn much. Whose fucking idea was it to make them anti-everything artillery that never reveals itself? You can't advance into them because they just murder inf with perfect accuracy without revealing themselves, you can't fight them with tanks because they're AT guns, and you can't shell them with artillery because they never need to reveal themselves to do their job, and come with a fuck load of availability for cheap even if you do kill a few.Shit is genuinely cancer to play against.
>>1885655
>>1885674Gates of Hell fans are deranged and mad their threads always die.
>>1885732It's SturmFuhrerPK, not SturmFuhrer88.
>>1885733We are playing the game instead of making shill thread :)
>>1885515>take pleasure in failures of their beloved franchisesIf a company fucks up by being retarded, why not laugh?
>>1885733Gates of Hell has issues buts its a better MoW sequel than this piece of shit, no amount of dlc will fix it
>>1885797>runs like shit>awful AI that literally doesn't shoot enemies>bad planes>greedy DLC>shit campaign>shit netcode>betteryeah sure
>>1885641Why do they rely on a mod? They original voice lines are so weird, immersion breaking and bad it's the worst part of the game. Why don't they re-record them?
>>1885919Who says they are relying on it? It just exists for whiny faggots like you who don't like the original.
Smoked eel is waiting for us
ngl at first i felt like effort posting, but the HP bar shill is just raging like a manbaby. I will say that the reason people took a particular offense to the tank HP bar thing is that a large part of the player base came from COH because they liked the more realistic feel and style that MOW series has (for example no visible tank HP bar). Sadly for autistic retards like OP normal people don't care what's under the hood but how it feels when playing.
>>1886089Reading through steam reviews it's a mix of absolute mongoloids who refunded with 0.2 hours played joining the mob, and obvious astroturfing. It just wasn't a very good idea releasing a game targeting the russian playerbase while russia is currently at war with your country, especially when your direct competitor is a grassroots russian project. The shill melting down itt probably thinks he's doing his great patriotic duty shitting up threads instead of joining a meatwave in kursk.
>>1886112>a very good idea releasing a game targeting the russian playerbase while russia is currently at war with your countryTo be fair, GoH has a very diverse community, as well as the development from. Ranging from hohols, ztards, chinks and westoids. The harsh truth is that there's no reason to buy this game. If you want WW2 Men of War, then you most likely already have it, in the form of Assault Squad 2 or Gates of Hell.
>>1886123And the publisher of MOW2 is a Russian Fulqrum Publishing (previously 1C), now owned by Tencent.
>>1886123What a weird line of reasoning. If I wanted WW2 Men of War, why would I buy GoH when AS2 exists? Yet thousands and thousands of people--myself included--bought and play GoH.And as someone who has played it, I can assure you that GoH doesn't make other WW2 games obsolete. Rather its shortcomings are what pushed me towards other WW2 games in the first place. If I wanted to play multiplayer, MoW2 is the only real option, GoH's is somehow even more dead despite the larger playerbase and isn't worth the time unless you're just dicking around with friends.
Considering how long this game has been out now, how are so many people still so fucking bad at it? I still get so many matches where the outcome is decided at the loading screen since 2/3 of one team brings worthless units and no infantry, and then just play City Skylines at the back of the map all game. This kind of shit was to be expected on launch when everyone was clueless but some of these fucks have like 500 hours in the game and still play multiplayer like they don't understand the assignment.
>>1886137Oh, really? How come your line of reasoning, about calling everyone who didn't like a game a mongoloid, isn't weird as well? Haven't you considered, that when a decent amount of playerbase rejects your game, then maybe there's something wrong with the game? If you own GoH then you know the story. At first, I didn't have much to offer over AS2, apart from historical story missions and dynamic campaign (which is very basic). Some people, including myself, bought it out of sheer curiosity and relatively low price. For those reasons, for a long of time it had fewer players than AS2, but that started changing when they released Talvisota (June 2022). It was something new that AS2 didn't have. It caused a new peak of players and a gradual grow of the player base. The tipping point was the release of the Liberation expansion, after which GoH playerbase became larger than AS2.Now the situation is almost the same for MOW2. It's almost the same as GoH and AS2, but it has nothing that could attract players. I have to admit, I tried it out when there was a demo available, but it reminded me of things that I hated about Steel Division, like that weird wave mechanic, that "frontline" mode (or whatever it's called). Very simplistic vehicle behaviour made it looks worse in comparison to GoH. Nevertheless, not to be too negative, I liked the mechanics of the trenches and the control of the planes, but that didn't convince me to buy the game, which costs 40 euros. They could at least try being original and pick a new setting, like Korea, Vietnam or some WW3 alt history. Instead, once again, we got WW2 with USA, USSR and Germany. It doesn't even have Japan or UK and GoH is already working on the latter, while AS2 has all these factions.Keep in mind that the customer base of those games is quite small, so when you already have a competition, your product must have something to win over the customers. MOW2 doesn't have it.
>>1886193cont.Many use HP bars as an argument. Yes, when you know how the damage system in Men of War games works, it's quite stupid. However, if it works the same as in previous games, then why change it? They could keep it hidden, so haters would have less material to dunk on the game.
Instead of autistically ranting about those GoH players, take a minute to think why your game failed.
>>1886193>autistic wall of textWho pays you?
>>1885446buy an ad
Never understood the arcadey complaint. The game has more depth than Gates of Hell and the exact same damage model.
>>1886207kill yourself then
>>1886232Literally just a talking point. When pressed they'll tell you vehicle health but when someone points out that vehicles have always had health in these games, including GoH, they'll abruptly change the subject, or slink away and repeat their spiel in another conversation.
lmao, you have the same retards crying about GoH fanboys on steam forums
>>1886232>The game has more depth than Gates of Hellhow so?
So how are the new decks they added this patch? I hate playing the AT decks so I don't want to go through the trouble unlocking it unless it's worth it.
>>1886458Air supportMany more engineering optionsLots more vehicle typesRetreatsCamouflage Better garrisons Custom battalion composition
>>1886512Don't forget >AI that actually shoots opponentsand>crewed guns don't kill their own crew by driving over a bump in the road
>>1886328They need an excuse for why this game is shit and blaming le boogeyman group is all the rage these days whether its russians or GoH fans(they also accuse all GoH fans being le evil Russians)
>the game is flat liningLAMO
Uh oh. Fedor Fedorovich Ihbrahmovich woke up and he is going to poo poo the game instead of providing arguments why GoH is better!
>>1886542The game isn't shit tho. It's the best RTS released this decade
>>1886593If it was good, it would have more players ;)
>>1886623Gacha games have millions of players so they must be good.
>>1886631So at least it has good reviews? Oh wait, it does not!LMAO
>>1886542Da xopow it's russophobia those darn xoxols are blaming us tovarisch surely Russians are never obsessive, autistic and petty on the internet it's all a conspiracy blyatYou glow, Ivan.
what a schizo
>>1886641So do you have any arguments?Have you even played the game?
>>1886659No and I won't :)
>>1886542>le evil Russianswhat exactly isn't evil about perpetual war crimes and artillery shelling civilian districts, hospitals, schools and kindergartens?>it never happened muh propaganda xoxols attacked themselves we're just defending ourselves from nato by attacking a neutral state and torturing their population
>>1886542Idk, ziggers must die.
>>1886660So why are you here?
>>1886679Why don't you tell us?
>2nd to last german mission>struggling in a protracted urban firefight, machinegunner runs out of ammo and needs to pull back to find more>3 american smg vets run forward as my last 2 grenadiers are reloading their STG44s>rifle recruit I completely forgot about fires 3 shots, hits 3 heads and drops all 3 in the span of about a second, saving the grenadiersI will never doubt the kar98 again.
Just here to laugh at MoW2cucks and their dead game, shouldn't have tried to target the arcadey esports shit retards lmao.
>>1885515>their beloved franchises.sorry, i don't participate in McDonald's culture. I simply enjoy quality products, the brand name is meaningless.
>>1886212Ignore this cock muncher OP.I'm glad you made the thread. Been thinking of getting this and am enjoying the comments.
This runs so much better than gates of hell what the fuck
i think gates of the hell SUCK
The biggest problem of MoW2 it has nor soul neither war atmosphere, it feel like MoW Arena multiplayer asset flip. Just some fun matches.
>>1891048>it feel like MoW Arena multiplayer asset flipBuddy, that's what it literally is. Just watch this video. Why do you think it launched as always online game?https://youtu.be/UPu_4M7grcg
Do you think devs will drop this game after they received no new blood after the patch?I just don't see them adding content to MoW2 considering low interest to the game.
>>1891214Prior to this update the game was consistently sub-200 on steam and afterwards it's above 300 at most times of the day and peaks above 600. Grim numbers but the patch clearly did something.I think sooner or later there will need to be a free weekend to try and boost playercount.
This feels a lot more fun than GoH. I don't get the reviews.
