    Men of war 2 è il miglior titolo di questo genere su piazza, ben superiore ai vari Company of Heroes e giochi del genere, quasi una simulazione del campo di Battaglia.
    Io preferisco giocarlo in Single Player, con le sue tantissime MOD, GSM su tutte e sono arrivato oramai a 1.600 ore di gioco.

    First off, this game is best described as a simulation RTS. The gameplay is so detailed you can edit individual soldier's inventories and pick up ammo/supplies from fallen friends of foes. Tanks have fuel, and they can get stuck. You can shoot the tracks off a tank, or you can shoot right through it with a Pak anti-tank gun. The realism is really what separates this game from other RTS's,First off, this game is best described as a simulation RTS. The gameplay is so detailed you can edit individual soldier's inventories and pick up ammo/supplies from fallen friends of foes. Tanks have fuel, and they can get stuck. You can shoot the tracks off a tank, or you can shoot right through it with a Pak anti-tank gun. The realism is really what separates this game from other RTS's, such as Company of Heroes. In COH, it takes about 5-6 shots to kill a single guys at point-blank range. In MOW, it takes 1-2 shots.

    However, this game requires CONSTANT micro-management. You cannot send your troops to a position then forget about them. You need to manually put them in prone, crouched, and standing position. You manually must tell them to throw a grenade. With all the mm, it is very hard to manage multiple units.

    As a WW2 simulation, this is the closest to reality you can get right now. As an RTS, it is painstakingly tedious to manage every one of your units, it truly is a burden. If you want to truly experience commanding war in a game, this is a great game, But if you want to send about a squad and forget about them, they will die and you will lose. Your units have no AI on their own and can't really do anything for themselves. It is really up to you everything they do.

    The micro-management is the worst part about this game, but it's realistic features still make it an amazing RTS that I recommend to hardcore strategy and war game fans.    … Expand

    Solid RTS with some flaws which you can tolerate if you're really into the WW2 genre. We played CoH in MP for a long time until we tryed out MoW:AS2 and then finally switched to it because its much more detailed and realistic. For large scaled WW2 battles with demanding micro management there is currently no other game that offers nearly an comparable experience.

    Great game, only played skirmish so far and loving it!

    You don't need to farm resources (like in COH) but instead you just deploy re-enforcements when you have enough "points".

    The graphics and effects are very nice!

    I Give 10, not because the game is perfect, but because this game is far the best in it's genre. The game is very realistic, you have limited ammunition at each unit, every unit has it's on inventory, you can loot the dead corps or disabled vehicles (vehicles has inventory as well) Because the game is very complex, to get familiar with controls of it takes some time and patient, but whenI Give 10, not because the game is perfect, but because this game is far the best in it's genre.

Basically you have so many options you will never do the same thing in this game, you will always try something new... The single player mode is more like than an overcomplicated and extremely hard Commandos, which can be fun for some people, but the real juice here is the Multi-player, where you have to put some time into the game to feel your self competitive... I suggest to watch some tutorial videos online, before you give a shot, and try skirmish missions alone to practice what you've seen... I definitely recommend this game for buying, it is getting updates/patches constantly, so it will be just better, and the number of players are growing as well...… Expand

    This game should be rated way above COH people only voting it to low because they got early-access Alpha version of the game when it had all the old models sounds etc.. game has been massively improved now and is way better game than COH which is arcade-y and DLC crazy. Relic is not relic anymore.

    its still being upgraded and will be the difinative Replacement version of the game for    This game should be rated way above COH people only voting it to low because they got early-access Alpha version of the game when it had all the old models sounds etc.. game has been massively improved now and is way better game than COH which is arcade-y and DLC crazy.

    While in it's graphical form, there hasn't been * a lot* of chance. The engine has been mostly reworked to improve the quality gameplay it has to offer.
    When looking at SP. You're doing it wrong. Multi Player is one of the better things out there. And you'll find it a tonne more amusing.

    I love this series, I'll agree there is not a lot of change from AS 1 but regardless it is still an enjoyable game. The Single player campaign is small but having the ability to add mods is a huge positive. I did finish the game a while ago but found Sir Hinkels mod and a realistic mod that completely change the game dynamics and I am hooked again.

    If you are a fan of strategy games where you have to think how you do battle this is a must. Using cover and concealment is a must when attacking dug in troops, keeping you army filled with munitions so they are always prepared and utilising tanks and artillery support are just small parts of many this game has to offer.

    If they ever released a sequel I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase it.    … Expand

    Playing a fully patched up version of MoW:AS2 is a joy compared to many other offerings in this genre. Action is good and fun. Missions are on the whole are well designed, although pretty samey with each nation.

    Played it through twice in single player, which shows it has some re-playability. Some great Steam Workshop additions and missions to. Is it ground breaking or revolutionary?

    Is it ground breaking or revolutionary? No. Graphically amazing? No. Still, its gameplay is fun and the range of units is good. Also the detail for units actions and resources like ammo, fuel, weapons make it the most interesting for me. Being able to battlefield scavenge anything from new weapons and ammo to repairing partially damaged tanks/artillery/APC etc make it really fun.

    Not played multiplayer, which is where a lot of people say the game shines even more so can't comment on that.    … Expand

    I have thus far enjoyed playing Men of War: Assault Squad 2 to an alarming degree. Most of my fun however, is with the various well-made modifications and addon's for the original game, as well as the editor, which is absolutely superb. This is no Company of Heroes but it is an amazing platform for grown men like myself, to get away with playing a sort of virtual 'army men'.

This is no Company of Heroes but it is an amazing platform for grown men like myself, to get away with playing a sort of virtual 'army men'. You can take control of all the forces of Eisenhower's US, Hitler's Reich, Churchill's Commonwealth, Stalin's Russia, and 'Yes' you can play the French. These units are well detailed and simply pitting the AI against itself in a simulation of your own creation is part of the games main appeal. Think of this as a creative engine. If you desire, you can even speed it up 70 years and play as modern day forces. The possibilities and low price point, along with graphics that aren't too hard on the eyes, make this a fun experience with a large amount of replay value.… Expand

    A great entry point to the series for those who have not played it before and also makes a solid addition to the collections of all longtime fans as long as they have even the faintest interest in playing with other humans rather than only the Artificial Intelligence.

    Solid realtime strategy focused on multiplayer. You'll enjoy it - unless you've played the first one. Almost nothing new has been added.
