hi, very good news. there is a thing, i cannot go to the new website of mow. i click on it and the page is not found.

[Instinct]

Try again a little bit later, the DNS might not be updated for some internet providers yet.

It's good news!!! +1 from me!!!

Please fix the Wikipedia and the stupid skirmish spawning! Skirmish modes are to conquer the map, but the AI is so ridiculous, even in normal mode you have to defend yourself every minute because the AI has unlimited tanks and infantry!

And even better: Why do you want to attack the enemy, if you have nothing at the beginning except infantry?

This is a fail from the beginning. Would be better if you could plan your attack more better with some armor.

[ZEBCEB]

After a few games, you will start to get it. Use smoke and grenades to clear out the first points, then you get elite inf. They can hold their own vs almost any unit. (They have zook's, RR's or P.Faust)

When you get the middle ish' points, you get your own armor, use it, but be careful, there is plenty of AT guns on most maps. The AI gets lots of inf and armor to give you a challenge, if you cant handle Normal, start at easy, then work your way up.

The new site is awesome!

Hi all ! especialy Intstinct. Nice news so far, great website (one of the best game sites i have seen so far) and i hope next patch will be soon (loby improvements especialy)...but, do you have in plans adding another nation ? In my opinion, Italy can be nice playable, with planty of artillery (even 210mm howitzer), great SPGs (Semoventes) and cheap and fast tanks (if needed, P43bis protoype, similar to Pershing with stats)...what do you think? Thx for reply from developers...))) Opavius

Excellent!

The new inventary models are nice. The old ones were obselete and ugly. I think that the new ones makes the mode more attractive.

LOL. There is a screenshot on the site, in a skirmish mission, were there is old sherman models. Not a well looking business card. :realbig:

Vietnam is not a interesting battlefield for me, I dont like the period or the proper theme, but those helicopters are starting to be irressistible.

Sad to see there is no changing in infantary movement. (As said one million times before, on of the weakest points of th game).

Sad, I still can't open new website :(

Does the new patch allow hosts to specify how units are distributed when they enter the map or is unit distribution changed at all? My friend and I have no problem with Normal Skirmish but on Hard, every time we have to stop to hand over a unit to the other player (like when the two man AT team are split), we have to lose a bit of focus on the actual fight.

404.
Although I can view site via proxy, but it is extremely slow.

[Ritterkreuztraeger]

404 too.
But looks like it is not a problem of ISP/DNS-stuff as Instinct noted - by some mysterious reason it is not working in Opera (Well, at least for me, I doubt if it is same for everyone), but does it in IE, Mozilla and Steambrowser. Dunno why it is 404, I have never encountered such issues being browser-depended.

[asureka]

Personaly I, cannot open via any browser, even proxy

[it068]

Will the patch alter the skirmish missions to make them more customisable?

[koliz]

New Patch Great

[psychopigeon]

How come in the background of the website there's White German uniforms but in MoW AS there is none?

And I agree with top posters, something needs to be done about Skirmish.. it is so annoying having the units split up or go to another player... why not just give each player a pop cap?

Sad, I still can't open new website :(

Try updating your internet browser

Because most of the community is abhorrently opposed to liking it because they think it's such a bad thing to do. Al you have to do is click. It doesn't sign you up for anything, or sell your soul or something. You just like a page on facebook. And you can revoke publishing rights on your feed if you so choose to, so it'd be like you never even liked it.

[ozka420]

Does lobby improvements include support for downloading custom maps ingame? :D

[Kastrenzo]

5000 Likes and we'll release a patch? are you kidding me? Not to mention the very small timeframe that you expected for the community to come on and like your page.

Men of war is a fun game but it isnt THAT Popular to pull 5000 hits like that in 2 days.

you don't need Facebook likes to do anything. not to mention to improve parts of the game that people have been asking about for a very long time

[GeneralJ927]

5000 Likes and we'll release a patch?

5000 likes and the patch will be released 2 days after its been reached, estimated date is the 30th september.


Not to mention the very small timeframe that you expected for the community to come on and like your page.


I wouldn't say about 5 weeks a small timeframe, still have to 27th september to get the patch one day early of the estimated date.


Men of war is a fun game but it isnt THAT Popular to pull 5000 hits like that in 2 days.

More popular than you think, guessing you got your 2 days the wrong way round. :D
