Anyone up for some coop? Add me on Steam - David29.

The question often asked but never answered. Who wins 10 T-34-85's or one T-72....

I have decided to make an Arnhem map. The only annoying thing is there is no bridge similar to the famous John Frost Bridge in Arnhem, so it will probably look a bit weird.

[QUOTE=Angua;25491501]The question often asked but never answered. Who wins 10 T-34-85's or one T-72[/QUOTE] Is that Enduring Freedom? It's out?

[QUOTE=Raiskauskone V2;25485478]Does it still employ the stupid "hurr rifles only squad, smg's only squad" system? It's just fucking retarted. The basic squad in the real life was usually consisting of 7 riflemen, squad leader with an SMG, support man with an light-machinegun, and 2 other guys working as scouts with smg's or rifles, or both. Of course every nation had their own squad style, but I'm not going to list them.[/QUOTE] This system will be in MOW:AS

Anything that they have in the Assault Squad has been done in the mods, why the hell people are buying this?

[QUOTE=Kallemort;25492092]Is that Enduring Freedom? It's out?[/QUOTE] No, no, no. I have currently three mods running i belive that T-72 is from Afghanistan mod. And the gunners are from pot...

So does AS remove meds and heavy tanks entirely?

Wow, I have just realised how much the editor for this game is made out of win and awesomeness. I set up a battle between a Panther and some British paratroopers and, although they needed some initial prompting, it was awesome to watch them have at each other. The only bit that let it down was when the last surviving paratrooper took cover next to the (still functioning) Panther - which couldn't hit the paratrooper - and so the two just sat there doing bugger all.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;25495290]So does AS remove meds and heavy tanks entirely?[/QUOTE] If you chose to do so, yes. They completely removed super-heavies from the game though. No more Tortoise and T-29. The server unit-restrictions go like this: All units No special units No artillery No super-heavy tanks No heavy tanks No medium tanks No tanks No infantry Sniper Duel [editline]18th October 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Raiskauskone V2;25492989]Anything that they have in the Assault Squad has been done in the mods, why the hell people are buying this?[/QUOTE] Wrong. Newer engine version, graphics have improved quite noticably, performance "upgrades" and skirmish.

[QUOTE=dezztroy;25496349]If you chose to do so, yes. They completely removed super-heavies from the game though. No more Tortoise and T-29.[/QUOTE] They... removed my turtle and king tiger? :frog::respek::frogdowns: (The KT is on the same level as the T29, so yeah) What about things like the sturmtiger and jagdtiger?

wait wait wait if SHs were removed then why is there an option to remove SHs in the server settings

King Tiger is still in, actually. So is the Jagdtiger. Sturmtiger is also in, but is now a hero unit, and the most expensive one for the germans. (It costs 10 points, and you only get 10 points per match)

Sturmtiger is shit anyway. :frog:

[QUOTE=the_killer24;25496520]wait wait wait if SHs were removed then why is there an option to remove SHs in the server settings[/QUOTE] I suppose the unit restriction counts for the top-tier heavies. Like the KT and Pershing.

Is the Karl still in?

[QUOTE=the_killer24;25496577]Is the Karl still in?[/QUOTE] No idea. It's probably in, but not available for MP like with regular MoW.

It should be :colbert:

[QUOTE=the_killer24;25496556]Sturmtiger is shit anyway. :frog:[/QUOTE] But... it's so awesome. Even if it does take like 5 minutes to reload.

O HAI GUISE LET'S ASSAULT AN ENTIRE ARMORED DIVISION WITH SIX STRATEGIC MORTARS. :frog:

It seems really rare to get a good game online, virtually every game ends up with king tigers and hummels behind or UK just about holding their own whilst saving up for turtles and then dominate.

US and Japan make for the best battles.

Japan is kind of awful. Had an extremely excellent Frontline battle with 2 friends vs the public on that one pacific map with Japan and USA though.

So I haven't played this much, and I still don't fully grasp it, but anyone up for some multiplayer? If so, add me on Steam.

Seriously, right now it's retarded to even try playing, either what i said previously happens or its 600+ games played team vs <20 games played team and its annoying too.

We need to all play some time. Men of War is only fun anymore for me when I play with groups of friends, if not consisting of the whole server at least my whole team. 2v2 is fun, as usually 6v6, 8v8 etc etc turns into a coordination nightmare, if anyone listens at all.

Shit was amazing.

Add me if anybody wants to play. Hopefully we'll get a host who's NAT compatible with everybody. It seems everybody can join some people, only some people can join others and nobody can join others.

So this game was on sale on steam for 75% off and I'm like, hey, why not, I thought it was a pretty alright demo, I'll get this and the expansion for $8.50. So I press the buy button, and right after, I leave the house to go to a football game. I come back, and the steam window has an error with the payment. I figure instead of writing a support ticket, I might as well just try it again, maybe it was a one time error. So I reload the page and press buy, and Voila! it works. Only, as the transaction goes through, I look at the price I paid: $35.00. The deal expired in the few hours that I was gone. So I write up a support ticket, asking them to be reasonable and give me a refund considering I tried making the purchase while the game was still $8.50, but with no avail, because they reply with the reason 'We can't because our purchasing system is automated'. Instead they refund the $35 to my credit card. So now I'm stuck with no MoW because I got cheated out of it by some steam error. Fuck :sigh:
