Just been in the beta for men of war and i must say it freakin wicked.
Its like SHOWW2/FACES OF WAR but better, it uses the tried and tested direct fire system that made SHOWW2 a great game, but made me think COH TOV coming out around about same time, now ofc COH will get more sales but from the feedback in the beta and game it seems people do prefer a lot of men of war features over COH.
COH has a great graphics engine due to being able to afford such a great engine does give it advantage, but i must say men of war is very realistic, which in turn probally wont get most people into it a lot, sinse company of heroes is more about fun gameplay rather than hardcore 1 shotted by tiger from far away.
i wonder though if men of war had COH graphics engine could men of war beat company of heroes TOV as a better game?
i think sales will be ofc high for COH TOV due to the marketing budget of the game and much more freindly towards novice players, but still men of war does put in a good fight, with its realism.
personally i love how real it is ie MG42 will not supress men but actually kill them, if you run towards mg you will lose a squad and not get a supress icon above unit and lose maybe 1 or 2 men.
also love tanks with the ability to choose HE or AP, then choose where to shoot using direct fire, also love the realism.
earlyer today had great game, i lost:) but still...
i had STUG hiding in bush tree line, covering road, we see infi moving up to try attack our position in the town, we hold fire, wait for armour, whos slowly moving behind infi.
tanks in range.FIRE, 1 shot 1 hit bang, sherman gone, fire again, another sherman bites the dust.
then perching comes shoots me but misses we return fire with a tiger sitting way way way back off the map and destroy the perching 1 hit men running out of tank on fire burning alive.
this what i miss from COH the pure hard cold realism.
sorry for long thread :) over to you guys
