I love the editor and easy modability of these games. If I don't like something, I'll change it.
Could you please review Call to Arms too?
@@sirfanatical8763 Yes of course, it's on the list. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@twiglets2 Thanks. Not sure if you know the mods but I can give examples.
UAF Mod - New campaign missions & Multiplayer rework
Rise and Fall mod: New campaign missions
Vietnam mod: also campaign
Warfighter: Multiplayer rework
Reworked factions: also mp rework
@@sirfanatical8763 That's amazing, it'll give me a nice head start on everything - you're the best!
@@twiglets2 Thank you. BTW what else will come in the future of your channel? I really like your calming voice
True story,
So when MOW came out years back and they still sold them as physical copies.
None of the copies were sold at all in my local game store, just stuck there to gather dust.
A year later I decided to work full time for half year with the game store and decided to find a way to promote the game so that we can get rid of the stock.
I started playing the game on a projection screen during work to show somewhat of a demo for others to look at.
Customers started asking questions about the game with its unique inventory and direct control mechanics.
We sold the whole stock and had to ask other shops around for more copies to be sold after the demo.
Good times.
Happy days, sometimes people need a bit of a nudge to give a game a chance I guess!
You MADLAD!
Back in the days demo was the best way a game could be advertised to people. I got introduced to rts genre due to the demo of aoe 1 when I was a kid.
@@vru6431 An excellent point, it confuses me why they're so rare these days. Perhaps companies prefer to rely on marketing, and we know some use it as a way of hiding an unfinished game!
@@twiglets2 I guess it is. I played demo version of aoe1 thinking that was all the game had to offer but after growing up I realised I was playing demo version all these times. I have played nearly every rts franchise there is to play and I have been with mow since I was in middle school. Nowadays I have to watch a dozen of reviews and videos to decide if I even want a game. I will be coming back to mow again after I finish total warhammer 2 because it was the only franchise I haven't tried in both rts and strategy genre. Can't wait for mow franchise when I come back to it in 2-3 months.
Ah, MoWAS2. An absolute certified hood classic. This game is so good, many consider it the crow jewel and definitive game of the already beloved Men of War series. But, what I never could really understand, is why isn't this game MORE popular. Sure, the granularity and complexity of control systems is daunting at first, but if you have even some passing knowledge of WW2 arms and tactics you'll fall in like a glove into this game. Besides, there's other more "mainstream" strategy games I feel much more daunted by. Either way, this is a game that is VERY well liked by the people who do like it, and still play it to this day. It somehow still has more of an online playerbase than it's spiritual successor, Gates of Hell:Ostfront. Me, I love them both, but would probably play more GoH because of the technical improvements of the engine since then. As you said, the old girl is starting to look her age. But also at the same time.... Playing old games, is based.
A great summary - most players I've discussed this with simply like both games, it's not about which is best, which I think is a great way to look at things.
I'm actually quite annoyed I didn't discover this game sooner as the gameplay is quite simply fun. Some gamers begrudge older games simply because they're old, but I can entirely understand why players have played AS2 for many years and will continue to do so. It's just a great formula!
@@Red_R4ven Can't argue with you there! Out of curiosity have you ever tried Supreme Commander Forged Alliance? That one also gets rave reviews and is sometimes called the best of all time.
Honestly, none of it looks welcoming to a new RTS player as well as animations looking... extremely unpolished. The game looks like it was developed in the early 2000s, not after 2010.
@@dudeguybro That's because it technically was. Assault Squad 2 is the final development of the franchise came since previous games "Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2" and "Faces of War" which are from 2004 and 2006 respectively. The first Men of War title came out in 2009, and all of the sequels since utilized the same engine. AS2 did have better graphics, textures, more content and all, but it's still running in the same foundations. Those are, however, quite solid foundations, as the game is still being modded to this day.
Anyway, if the old looks of the game turn you off, Men of War 2, the actual sequel, is under development and should release between the end of this year and early 2023. Or you can play instead Gates of Hell:Ostfront, a spiritual successor made in a modernized version of the engine.
@@dudeguybro The mechanics are definitely intimidating to a new player (which I was myself not so long ago!) but I think they're also the reason the game has a passionate following to this day.
Graphics wise - I see where you're coming from, but at the same time the graphics look pretty decent at times (compared to other similar RTS games). Just my opinion - it looks less refined than say, Company of Heroes 2, but if you're used to Steel Division 2 or games of that ilk it looks pretty good considering it's age (a lot of benefit of the doubt there though).
But each to their own, I guess I'm not that bothered by how it looks as long as the mechanics are solid!
I can not believe more games have not done the RTS/Direct control mechanic like in MOW and call to arms. It's just spectacular and the mudding. LAAWWDD.
I completely agree, it's strange. The direct control hasn't been perfect, it would be interesting to see how a AAA title could implement it with their bigger budget. I'm looking forward to seeing what Men of War 2 do with that mechanics but must admit I'm not expecting it to be much different to Assault Squad 2!
Are you sure? SpellForce entire premise evolves around you being an RPG hero controling an RTS army.
I've been recently playing MOWAS2 with a few friends and it really proves to be an age old classic, even when it freezes up due to continuous artillery barrages. The mods and workshop capabilities make it a keeper.
Thanks for the review!
Thank you I hope you enjoyed it! I'm annoyed I didn't find this game sooner as it's great with friends, I hope you enjoy for many years to come! If there are any particular mods you would recommend please share :)
@@twiglets2 You're talking shit .. this game doesn't look dated , unlike Men of war 2 which was release this year, also 2014 isn't that long ago... also you blame the medic and path finding down to being a 2014 game but some newer games , have path finding issues , it has nothing to do with how old a game is but people who program the game ,
It was also worth mentioning that the game has a DLC that adds three story campaigns from past games. They are significantly different from the template campaigns added in Assault Squad 2. Getting to know them will be more interesting, especially in co-op. I also recommends modifications that add campaigns from Faces of war, Red tide, as well as bonus missions from Men of War.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, great recommendations (that I need to try for myself!)
warms my heart seeing mowas 2 content in 2022. profesionally done
btw u sound like LEMMiNO
My only regret is it took me this long to discover this game!
I recently fired up S:HOWW2 and loved how good it still was, looks like this one will be next
This game is perfect for me and I have been playing since I got it around last year and the airborne dlc is a need cause ai skirmishes are always fun. I also love the modding community where I can play mods like army men, Cold War, and just more maps and units. The way tanks function is awesome and is way preferable then hp. The editor is endless mayhem and creating my own battles and watching the ai fight it out is great. It is also great cause I own a potato pc and this game runs great. The levels sometimes feel repetitive but are good once in a while.
Thanks for sharing! I haven't explored the mods in much detail yet, would you say Army Men and Cold War are the best in your opinion?
@@twiglets2 I can’t believe I also forgot Star Wars, ww1 mod, and a mod called valour that adds Italy and France. It is just my own opinion.
@@hunterjarman4728 Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check them out!
excellent review, thanks, subbed
Cheers Ray I hope you found it useful - let me know if there are any other games you think need this kind of review!
Thanks for the comprehensive overview :)
@RecordableID You are most welcome! Did you decide to purchase??
@@twiglets2 it's on a good sale right now, so yeah I'm gonna get it tomorrow I think 😊
thanks for the heads up i will check your guide for new players as i just bought the war chest edition on sale
I hope you enjoy it, let us know how you get on!
Loved the review! I remember my first game by the same developer, Faces of War. Is pretty much the precursor to all these similar games I believe. Played that all the way back when I was in grade school. Now, many years later, I'm a working adult, who's enjoyin the hell outta GoH Ostfront to satisfy that nostalgic itch. Will always love MoW style games!
It's great to see the same formula is still working! I actually did it backwards, starting with Ostfront, falling in love and taking a look back at the previous games, and very happy to see that this game in particular holds up to modern standards very well. If the formula is good, it'll be timeless!
You should check out Soldiers: Heroes of WW2 also, the first game of this series,still very playable today
Just popped up on Steam sale so I went looking for an overview. This was a perfect balance of detail and brevity. Thank you!
@SilverElf4 Thank you, I'm glad it was useful! Have you decided to purchase the game? If so, please let us know how you get on!
@twiglets2 Yeah, bought the Warchest! I'm a long time Steel Division/Wargame guy so the UI wasn't as bad as I feared. Enjoying it so far!
@@AytchZero Excellent news! Out of curiosity have you been tempted to try Warno at all? It's been sat on my maybe list for a while and it's difficult to know when to pull the trigger on it.
@twiglets2 Bought it on day 1 and regret it. If you like SD44 with its low unit counts and armor being few and far between, then Warno is for you (a single Abrams or T-80 will set you back 250-400 points), but if you are a fan of SD2/Wargame it's been really disappointing.
@@AytchZero Thanks for the insight, very useful!
First played it on a school computer in 3rd grade 😄. I was hooked from the beginning and i still play the game with my friends. Never gets old.
That sounds like many years of happiness, if only all games had this much replayability! Do you play co-op? That's one thing I wasn't able to try but I've heard it's popular.
Thanks for the Review! I recently just bought it with COH 2.
No problem I hope it was useful and would be interested to hear which game you think is better once you get a chance to play both!
I’ve got men of war assault squad 2 when it was on sale a couple months ago, and the controls were difficult to understand at first but as I played I got more into the game and started to even create battles and almost got 100 hours on it. I really do recommend this game for people who haven’t tried it yet as it is filled with strategy. (I also can’t wait to play men of war 2)
@crusader3652 I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm curious if you've also played gates of hell ostfront, and if so, how you think it compares to assault squad 2?
Faces of War, which is the precursor to Man-of-War, is the only one with a proper tutorial. It teaches you the basics.
I wish I'd had that in Ostfront, my first experience of these games. I still have a lot to learn but finding out how to look at a truck's inventory and share the relevant ammo out to the soldiers was a great experience and very satisfying to be able to do it more efficiently now I've had some practice.
Although a thorough tutorial is appreciated, I also don't like being spoon fed, finding it out for yourself is rather satisfying in its own way!
@@twiglets2 To be fair, there's a manual that gives you the basics; it's on the steam store page for the game. If you scroll down, you will see the view manual. I'm old-fashioned; I have the printed manual when I bought it back in the day in a physical form. But now with digital games, you pay the same price but you don't get the poster and you don't get a printed manual, let alone a complete game that is cut down into DLCs or barely functioning on release.
@@TheRealSpeedWolf Fair play, I did give the manual a look on certain subjects and found it useful, but I've never been great at reading manuals, to me detriment :D
I like your voice. Very calming
Nice review, as usual.
I had just watched your Gates of Hell review and bought Call to Arms during the last Steam sale. I was considering getting GoH but the sale price still wasn't too great.
How do you think MoW:AS2 holds up against CtA and GoH? I bought CtA expecting a similiar mod scene but was surprised a number of workshop pages mentioned CtA support being dropped and instead heading back to MoWAS2.
In my limited experience with it I think the greatest pro CtA has over this game is its campaign mission variety - especially between faction campaigns, given that MoWAS2 missions are the same templates across each faction.
I haven't played CtA for some time but from what I recall, the first person control is a very cool feature, especially with choppers! But after that initial excitement faded it became a bit...boring? Maybe As2 just has better content as a whole which gives is more longevity?
I agree entirely about GoH campaign mission variety, I found myself excited to play the same mission several times by approaching it in different ways, loved it! I suspect that if GoH included as many factions as As2 it would be more popular, oh and GoH has the Dynamic campaign nearly forgot about that!
On reflection, I'm happy we have the choice of such good games!
They're all great games and my opinion if you buy this game you won't be disappointed it is a step up from company of heroes for me and the mods are incredible and I have been playing Gates of hell it is a better quality game but for me it's a bit more complicated but they're all fun!!
@@sleepingrabbit4011 Absolutely thanks for your opinion! Why choose when we can play them all? Muahaha!
I just want to say thank you. After watching your vid I decided to pick up the game and after a few weeks I've pored over 200+ hrs in this game.
@nizmo6364 It's amazing! You are most welcome.
It takes a bit to learn to play but once you do this game is excellent. Some of the maps are very hard to get through, but you learn as you go and figure out how to win. Its just a great title.
Be honest, do you skip the stealth part of the missions???
It was a pleasant surprise to have the choice!
@@twiglets2 You mean the sniper missions? No they are interesting and enjoyable as well. At some point I learned that you can throw a knife to take out an enemy soldier, who knew.
@@DylansPen I have now also just learned that you can do that, I'm going to give that a try, thanks!
I ve played this game soooo much ten years ago. Excellent WW2 RTS
Men of War 2 should be coming out next year - are you tempted?
Same , came back to playing it couple of months ago , great game
@@twiglets2 excuse my ignorance, since im not a gamer and men of war is the only game i got hooked on , dont know why maybe because im very intrested in world war 2 in general . Where do you see when will the new MOW2 will be released
@@eliehabchy8601 No problem! They haven't provided an exact date yet, they have only said "2023" with no further detail.
I believe it was originally meant to be 2022, but was then delayed into 2023, but I might be misremembering that!
My guess would be the second half of 2023, because if it was going to be the first half I imagine they would have marketed the game. Whereas at the moment they have shown us very very little of what the game looks like or will include.
@@twiglets2 thanks mate
i see men of war as2 like i see skyrim, its a great game but the mods keep you coming back for more. that and its fun making your own battles,
Is 1C still around? I see that the steam store page has changed the developers and publishers.
This game is seriously wonderful, and what makes it so much better is the modding community keeping the game alive if you don’t like or get bored of the base game
Do you have a preferred mod for MoWAS2? I'm glad to see there are so many!
@@twiglets2 robz realism is amazing, mixed with a mod called ostfront, he has many great mission mod
@@junxinggames555 Thanks for the heads up! Definitely going to give it a try!
설명이 아주 나이스 하군. 넌 곧 최고가 될것이다.
I love MoW, one of the best games I ever played, I would never regret buying it.
I have bought it because my dad gave me Men of War: Vietnam and Faces of War, I fall in love with these two so I decided to buy MoW:AS2.
Mods are amazing thing too, like cold war, dying word, born in fire america, valour etc.
And thanks to detailed equipment, mods, options to holster weapon, just tell unit to hold fire and multiplayer test mode, me and my friends were able to do roleplay, like taking big map with village, one team is germany, second is for example Poland (thanks to valour mod) and team playing Poland are just taking units that looks like civilians, then unarmes them and send them to village as civilians, germans are occpuant, they choose building as command, put officer there, tell units not fire or return fire and we are roleplaying things like riots, guerrilla warfare, where for example german patrol unit get ambushed by some guerrillas hiding in forest, this is fun.
@czarnywilkgaming8255 the level of detail and flexibility is crazy!
Are you looking forward to Men of War 2?
Hey there, nice review. Should i buy this right now in 2024? Just wonder ing
@civilian2925 if the game is on sale then the answer is "probably". But definitely don't pay full price!
Anyone know a way to play it on the mac?
As a person who has close to 600 hours of mowas 2 i still really enjoy they game i tried making a few map mods and even right now i'm working on a map
the game it self can get boring but the mods bring it to the next level
I have respect for those who create mods as I have no idea how to do it! Are you looking forward to Men of War 2?
@@twiglets2 I do but i have no idea when will il be able to buy it
Please talk about the mods in one video apart
The mods are cool, warhammer and star wars i think the nexrons got a full roster now as well only ones that need work are orks really, but they do have alot
@justjoshingya504 I didn't realise there was a Warhammer mod! Does it still work do you know? I've seen several mods are out of date now and don't really work
@@twiglets2 check out iron gaming 40k he has all that info that's where I watch it
Will you ever do a Unity of Command 2 review?
Yes! It's on the list and I purchased the game in the recent Steam summer sale. It's always difficult to know in which order to look at the games as some take a decent two weeks to get enough info to make a video on.
I don't know if you've played Panzer Corps(?) but I'm assuming Unity of Command 2 is similar to that? If so that will speed things up a bit!
I love this game! I used to play RobZ Realism a lot, but there was a different realism mod I found called Deaths WW2 Realism that I think is better than RobZ. It changes a lot of mechanics for the better, I think!
@lafayettekirkegaard4495 awesome, always up for a new mod!
@@twiglets2 I can post a link if you’d like! There’s also a really cool WarHammer40K mod too!
@@lafayettekirkegaard4495 I've already found the Deaths Realism one, thank you! What's the 40k mod called? Anything 40k also gets my vote!
@@twiglets2 Hope you enjoy it! I think the WH40K mod is called ASV Warhammer, it needs two mods to work. They just added Necrons a month ago! Hope you enjoy that too!!
This sounds very promising - is Men of War 2 a kind of sequel to it? If so, is the older game still worth it or even better than the newer one?
@theosisius1 yes men of war 2 is essentially the sequel to men of war assault squad 2. However if you are unsure about the game I highly recommend trying men of war assault squad 2 when it's on sale. You can get a very good deal to see whether you like the game. If you do you can then choose between men of war 2 or gates of hell Ostfront as the more modern equivalents!
I wish they would make a new game, I love this style!!
@bobflemmet7454 Men of War 2 is on the way this year! Though many have tried the free preview and weren't too keen...!
I played the demo it was awesome !!
There is nothing more satisfying then taking the control of a Puma! GREAT GAME!
@mrnuckle9584 Puma Puma Puma!
The difficulty is insane, I can only win in "normal", when playing in "hard" after capturing the second flag position, it's like you stirred a hornet nest, they counterattack aggressively with tanks and infantry, and you can only get bazooka soldiers so you are stuck in a deffensive stalemate because it takes 3 captured flag positions to have access to antitank guns. The only times I can beat it in hard is the covert missions when you have a dozen soldiers infiltrating behind enemy lines, when you rely on intelligence more than brute force
@cernismirtkamennoeserdce9221 They don't make games this hard anymore!
too bad there is no pause mode , or slow motion option in skirmish mode.
Y'all put the interwar mod, it is absolutely worth it
Thanks for the suggestion!
I think calling Men of War a mix between Steel Division and Company of Heroes is probably the funniest comparison I`ve seen for the Men of War series lol
I'm glad you found it amusing!
Is the AI good ?
I have over a hundred hours on this and I love it
Do you play any of the mods or the vanilla version?
@@twiglets2 If you mean both types of mods like the ones made by players or the ones made by the game then yes I did.I play the campaign first then the modes made by players
@@spikyfish3709 Thanks for clarifying :)
@@twiglets2 you are welcome
Ignoring the fact that the game it's poorly optimized, like arma III, yes is worth it.
I'm a huge fan of company of heroes. I really want to like mowas2 and games like ostfront gates of hell.. but I suck so bad my tanks infantry and anything else I call in gets annihilated. Ugh
@forrestperkins6237 Have you tried Iron Harvest? The gameplay is very similar to company of heroes, but it has mechs instead of vehicles. If you're playing on pc you could pick it up in a sale pretty cheap!
Men of war 2 will release soon which looks like itll be more hardcore than mowas2 and more like company of heroes. Might be worth a look!
That game is the dark souls of strategic games if you ask me
@PhilippBrandAkatosh ooo, interesting comparison!
@@twiglets2 seriously you cant imagine the fun i had when my SAS team broke thru the line with their half track and then they unloaded and wrecked havoc behind enemy lines blowing up artillery taking down tanks with the PIAT the game rocks but the multiplayer is hardcore expect to die a lot
@@PhilippBrandAkatosh Awesome! It's moments like that other games struggle to create but this game delivers time and time again.
Have you ever tried Gates of Hell Ostfront? Different players have their preferences between the two but both games are very good and Ostfront is newer so has a few benefits to it because of that.
@@twiglets2 tried call to arm´s but i was disappointed with the AI like solders bug in out etc.

One the best games of this type. Fun as F.
@harbinger200 A classic!
an option to skip stealth!? hell yeah!! maybe I'm in the minority, but that was always a downer when I hit those missions in the OG game
@BwCquigley Call me fussy, but I like having the option to skip them or the option to play them depending on my mood. I thought it was a nice touch!
Let’s be honest everyone got this game for the Star Wars Galaxy At War mod
@McLegend13 omg I've not heard of that before!
@@twiglets2 it’s amazing it has all the different factions from Star Wars and all the different skins for the factions for example the different storm trooper variants and many of the clone trooper legions/battalions/corps. Plus so many of the vehicles.

@@twiglets2 Super QL
It's a great game but it's lame when they cram in stealth missions of all things into some campaign missions. I don't play these games to play mf'ing stealth. Quite ridiculous.
I'm not a fan myself, I was happy to see the "skip stealth mission" button though, wish every game had those!
@@twiglets2 Mind telling me where this option can be found? I can't seem to locate it.
this game is better then gates of hell ostfront tbh.. Mostly cause ostfront doesnt let u skip missions
I do appreciate being able to skip the stealth section of a mission, sometimes it's nice to get straight to the fighting!
@@twiglets2 yeah the stealth isnt always fun
I play robz till this day
I've heard a lot of good things about Robz, I confess I didn't get round to trying it (had a quick dabble to see if it worked for me). I get the impression more players are using Robz than are not these days, that's quite an achievement for the modder!
@@twiglets2 most people like it for the realism but I like it for the historical accuracy. They get the equipment for squads down to the very last detail. For all factions. As a lover of history I can't have it any other way lol. To be honest tho thanks to your review I think I'm gonna get Gates of hell

No it’s not the game crashes to much and the mods does to it is a waste of time because all the developers want a your money
That's interesting, I can't say I experienced the game crashing on me but I may have been lucky. Did it make it unplayable for you?
@@twiglets2 will the game version is 3.262.1 and even if i charged the game version and it still crashes the game and the mods its a waste of time
Meh, CoH1 better.
Two games that are so similar and yet so different. Each to their own!
I thoroughly disagree with opinion that this game is deeper or more complex than company of heroes, it's not, and it's actually the opposite!
@Ejsnes In Men of War you can move the precise kit between your soldiers down to individual bullets. You can split up squads into individuals and form them again. I'm not sure how you can argue that CoH2 is more complex than that. Unless you're referring to overall strategy in the CoH2 skirmish?
no save your money bad game Source: trust me bro i have 2.7k hours on this game
Really? I just bought the game and it's on sale
Just bought the game. 99% of the hosters and the playerbase is Russian with 2000ms ping, not worthy for multiplayer in 2023
That's a shame to hear! It's worth exploring some mods, Robz Realism in particular as I believe many players are using that, might improve the multiplayer experience for you.
DO NOT BUY MOW AS2 if u want to play MP!!!! CHEATS RUINED EVERYTHING and DEV DON'T GIVE A FUCK...
Assault squad 2 is 80% off until the 22nd
