Hi im new and i got something to say

[Mastix]

First of all, my english is kinda poor so i'm sorry if sometimes you won't understand me.
Hi, im Erez and i played both SHoWW2 and FoW, had a BLAST! but i never thought this games were good enoughs to compete with other games cause some of theire problems, I'm going to look at some Major critic sites reviews about this two games, and other reviews of the sites readers, and my own opinion, looking at the flaws of both games, so they won't be in Men of War, so it will sell a lot more and be the best RTS.
First im'a start with SHoWW2, i really enjoyed this game, made me remember Commandos, but even better, this game major problem was the lack of Multiplayer and Skirmish, and the controls wasn't really bad, but could have been better, it got a nice average score of 7.8 and a nice fan base,
Faces of War was also good for me, but the reviewers didn't seem to like it, and it really had some problems.
The AI wasn't really good, well... it wasn't THAT bad... but it was really really ANNOYING, interfering my commands is annoying as hell, and the soldiers did alot of stupid stuff.
the Campaign, idk, was boring, i know it's hard to do a WW2 capaign and make it intersting... only few games made it (Company of Heroes + Opposing Fronts, And Codename Panzers...)
and the campaign wasn't good enough so i just couldn't play until the end.
the Squade thingy was kinda weird... and annoying... Please find another solution.
What was improved over SHoWW2, the graphics weren't improved THAT much but still excelent, the physics engine was freaking awsome.
direct controll on both games was great.
so my tips for you: make a BETTER campaign.
BETTER and not ANNOYING AI.
BETTER controls.
if that will happen, this game will be the most fun having in the RTS gernre. (i think that SHoWW2 & FoW are REALLY fun but not as say... CoH... cause the flaws).

Hi Mastix and welcome.
I'm completely agreed with your opinion. The FoW single player campaign is more guided (like in a tunnel) and the level designers leave players very poor alternative ways to solve a mission.
The first chapther of the Outfront serie gives a more fun experiences due the multiple ways you could approaach to each mission. Moreover SHoWW2 campaigns have a better storyline.
But we should say that BestWay made great things with the phisics and the scripting.
FoW have a lot of new features, but they was not able to take advantage from this due the great ammount of bugs there are in the first release of the game.
Now it seems that Digitalmindsoft and BestWay would and should make better. And we are here to support them.

Welcome to the community! :)

Mastix, if you are bored :sick: from original games, then try some mods 8) . If not,wait for MOW. :punkl:

[Mastix]

I have really high exceptations for MoW, I saw the 6 gameplay videos on YouTube, but it's not enough to know the quality of the final product.
And i'm not so bored i play some HL2 mods, really good ones like Pirates Vikings & Knights 2 :punkl:

hello and welcome mastix,

correct me if im wrong but could the play in fow being guided like through a tunnel, not just be a way of taking you from 1 part of the mission to the next and telling a bit of story to go with each of these parts!
its easy to look at the overall map once you have completed a level and say "i could really have went through that way" but if you look at the way the missions play out, id say most were very en-joyable and were kept to the storyline as it un-folded.
we must remember that the maps have to be kept within strict size limits which makes it harder to do ex-pansive maps with buildings everywhere which make the physics engine blow a gasket and melt your pc down into a pile of slag!!!

i do agree with you about the a.i. being a bit flakey, and especialy the infantry a.i. (men standing up from cover then running to within 2feet of enemy to throw a grenade!!!) needing some attention though.

also and probably most importantly this game does not sell bucket loads, this needs to be adressed, i would say that the point of the magazines needing to be giving good reviews is spot on and why the mags dont give good reviews must be looked at, the multiplayer lagg issue HAS to be sorted completely as its the first thing any magazine is going to look for because the game has an issue with it!
other than that i would say that going by the dev updates, and the previous games that we dont have much to worry about, so long as the afore mentioned problems are dealt with and the game is advertised properly with the magazines give good reviews!!!

Hi mastix, welcome to community.

I agree with all you said, I love fow, still, but i like more showw2 (But i play more fow lol).
I loved the tank battles of showw2, just look realistic, but i can t say same to fow, even with mods, its a bit lame cuz theres alot of tanks that has bugs in armor and theres no angle system, The best thing improoved was the grafhics and new features, speciality on infantry.
But I just dont get it, showw2 tank models are much cooler, just look at fow kingtiger, it has almost no belly, and panther has something that does not fit righ too, i think its belly to, its like gonne.
If you dont belive me, just pick up a picture of a kingtiger hull, and compare to fow kingitger hull, a bit diferent, should be similar to jagdtiger.
And I think Fow single players battles some times are a bit confusing, just shots all over the place, si i normally play the calm ones like showw2 xD
And other annoying think is, the terrible sounds, im sry bestway but its true, but the sounds on mow, rocks so much.
Mow is looking a sweet game, i will buy even if its not very good, because i like fow, and a thing im sure, mow can t be worse then fow, for sure

Just wanna add that this game could really use some ragdoll physics in addition to all the physics already in.

Nicely thinked! I completely forget that, It would own have soo, and wen you hit with he the dude just flys with cool anjimation but wen hits the ground continues same anumation then he just go prone and dies, its lame
