This is one of my favourite things with Men of War. Watch the battlefield when the mission is complete and see all the vehicles and other destroyed shit... This was about 40 minutes of defending a small town. [media]http://i56.tinypic.com/ivjwjs.jpg[/media]

When I move up, I like to capture the disabled tanks I've killed.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;28422298]What mission is this?[/QUOTE] It's called "The Battle of Vernon" and is a bonus mission.

[QUOTE=Xbox;28422548]It's called "The Battle of Vernon" and is a bonus mission.[/QUOTE] Which game? MoW? I never checked out the bonus missions so I wouldn't really know.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;28422620]Which game? MoW? I never checked out the bonus missions so I wouldn't really know.[/QUOTE] Yes, Men of War.

I gotta actually get through the MoW campaign. I tried DCG and it made me so happy that I fucked right off of the campaign.

• Changed U.S. Marines to carry M1 Garands instead of M1903 But weren't the Marines the last ones to use the Springfield? The Army in Europe used Garands already but on the pacific they still had bolt-action rifles.

Men of war was like "tanks, tanks errywhere", but assault squad is now more like "infantry, infantry everywhere" along with kamikaze motorcycles that ram throught your lines and self destruct next to your artillery guns

The defeat of Germany was given priority and thus all new equipment was sent over there first.

in mind this patch isnt coming out for a few weeks so more will probably be added to it. Also they've actually added a new tank in this patch, and you forgot to mention they've added 3 new maps so far.

I destroyed a Flakpanther with a T-70. How the fuck did I do that?

I wish they re-added combat FFA. When I play with the people I usually play with we are never an even number which makes playing anything other then skirmish pretty much impossible as no one wants to be on the team with the pubbie. Some sort of assault zone FFA would be fun too, could work like the DoW 2 FFA.

Is Men of War worth getting? My friend has it and hey says it is pretty fun. Just asking for suggestions.

[QUOTE=Soap_N_Go;28430015]Is Men of War worth getting? My friend has it and hey says it is pretty fun. Just asking for suggestions.[/QUOTE] Try the demo.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;28430047]Try the demo.[/QUOTE] I did. I generally enjoyed it, but it's more the multiplayer that I'm after. I'm just wondering if the multiplayer has a large community and is fun to play.

Men of War Red Tide is annoying. Given 10 soldiers to take on 100 enemy soldiers fortified in with bunkers, machine guns, tanks, and mortars.

Find/get some friends to play the game with so you get a competent team. I'm part of a 10+ strong community of MoW + MoWAS players, hit me if you're interested in having some games with us. This goes for anyone. Although right now theres only about 5 of us with AS, though that will go up shortly.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;28430957]Flakpanther? man you best be shitting me[/QUOTE] I think it was a Flakpanther. It might have been an armored car.

[editline]5th March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Erebus.;28431286]I think it was a Flakpanther. It might have been an armored car.[/QUOTE] Flakpanzer then, no such thing as a flakpanther.

Why exactly does the Flakpanzer cost more than the Skdf 222 , when the 222 has armor and the same gun?

I'm thinking of starting to play mutliplayer Men of War Original, but I am rape-aphobic.

[QUOTE=Zocom;28432296]Why exactly does the Flakpanzer cost more than the Skdf 222 , when the 222 has armor and the same gun?[/QUOTE] It's a tank chassis, more costly to produce etc.
