Commentaries 1 USA Overlord

Men of War Assault Squad Commented 1 is presenting the coming stand alone expansion Men of War Assault Squad. This expansion will feature many change that are noticeable both visually and gameplay wise. The gameplay as been completely rebalanced and now provide a believable and intense world war II battle experience.

This video present the Skirmish mode that constitute the major part of the single-player and coop side of the game. This mode offer you to fight an enemy that will constantly try to push you back to your starting position. This lead to a gameplay that is very intense and randomized. You will rarely experience the same event each time you play. Each difficulty level also change a lot the experience you will have in the game.

This video is recorded on easy difficulty. An interesting aspect of this game difficulty level is that is also help define how long you want to play. On easy you can certainly have a 30 min long battle, while on normal it probably would take you an hours. As for Hard and Heroic it can take a while!

As for the presentation it was recorded as i was playing so I do make a few mistake, but it should be survivable. =)
Commentaries 2

Men of War Assault Squad Commentaries 2 show a 4v4 multiplayer game. The map we use is the same as the one from the original Men of War, but as you will see if you actually played the original Men of War, the action is very different. This videos show a defeat and I would like to point out the fact that even if that was a defeat it's was very fun and didn't have any quiet moment. Both side committed a lot of troop at capturing flags and it really was an intense battle. I hope you will enjoy it!
Commentaries 3

This is a Frontline multiplayer game of Men of War Assault Squad. Usually the timer is set for 25 min but that host in this case set it for 40 min, but his ally had to leave before the end so i stopped the video when it clearly became unfair for him.

So The goal of frontline is to either attack of defend flags. In this case I was defending with Kyle and being fairly experienced at front line we managed to hold the first zone from the adversaries attack attempt.

Enjoy.
Commentaries 4 Germany Caen Outskirts

Men of War Assault Squad commentaries 4 show you a german skirmish mission. I recorded that a couple weeks ago. The commentaries are made live at normal difficulty so my brain lagged a little. Doing live commentaries has the merit of making me explain how i think as i go along. But it's very challenging for me so enjoy it.
Commentaries 5 Soviet Union Smolensk

Men of War assault squad commented 5 show the Smolensk skirmish mission. In this mission you command the soviets army and you need to push the german back in a industrial environment. Once again I played on normal in order to have an acceptable size of video. If normal is too easy for you make sure to give it at try at harder difficulty the action can become much different.
Commentaries 6 Introduction

Men of War Assault Squad Commentaries 6 Introduction show you the tutorial/introduction mission that allow you to learn the game principle of the game in a progressive way. It's a very fun mission even for coop and i highly recommend everyone to try it out. Once again it was recorded on normal difficulty. Enjoy!
Commentaries 7 USA Carentan

Men of War Assault Squad Commentaries 7 Carentan is a walkthrough where i show and explain how to finish the Carentan skirmish mission. I play at normal difficulty since playing on hard or heroic would take way too much time.

Carentan mission is a hard one (even at normal difficulty). The the first and second line of flag offering very little hard cover to advance make it very tricky when facing light AT guns. Then when you enter the town the urban environment is fill with anti tank defense. It also provide a lot of cover for the enemies. So it's very dangerous. Fortunately in this video i show how effective airborne soldiers are at destroying important enemies defense and even if it took 48 mins i would say it went well. So enjoy the show.
Commentaries 8 USA Battle of the Bulge

Men of War Assault Squad Commentaries 8 USA Battle of the Bulge explain how to finish quickly and effectively the skirmish level. Battle of the Bulge is a fairly easy mission even at normal difficulty. This is mostly due to the fact that many of the AT guns on the map lack infantry. to protect them. This mean you can use you airborns like i did to destroy most of them. Also this map is fairly open and doesn't have much building for infantry, this make is a good map for tanks. Once again i give many trick so enjoy. =)

This is mostly due to the fact that many of the AT guns are position at hardly reachable positions. They are also well defended by infantry and russians light tank. This banzai charge is probably one of the most effective way to advance against such enemy defense and you long range rocket launcher are useful as well. This is a one hours video... good luck watching it! =D

Commentaries 18 Philippines

Men of War Assault Squad Philippines show one of the DLC mission. In this mission you need to hold the line against Japanese attack on 3 side for arround 30 min and once it is done you need to counter attack the enemies. As you may notice the units you can call are fairly different from regular skirmish and the kind of action you get as well. I hope you will enjoy all the tips and trick i will give during this video.
Commentaries 19 Crazy Scientist from the Northern Arctic Cycle

Men of War Assault Squad Crazy Scientist from the Northern Arctic Cycle is a kind of parody level where you need to save Chrismas. It's not your regular level but still is kinda fun. Since it's not really serious as a level it's not too hard either at least at normal difficulty.

Well this game unlike most games propose a true challenge at higher difficulties, not only a feel good experience about oneself because a player defeated a namely harder difficulty level.

For the average casual gamers, i would say it's fun at easy and normal. Above those difficulties is only fun in coop or for very motivated players.

In the end the focus of this game and the main interest is the multiplayer players vs players that remain one of the best for that kind of rts, the only issu is the lack of major noticable change between each new version of the game other then better texture, a few more maps and improvement to the engine.

I finally was able to beat this mission after another one hour attempt. This game is so far beyond anything realistic it's barely enjoyable. It's no wonder these developers and this franchise died. It's fine to make a game very hard to beat, but if you do that and want to keep your users playing, you need to get the details and mechanics and strategy close to sim-level. In this mission the AI artillery will literally murder hundreds upon hundreds of their own units and armor just to kill a Panther or Panzergrenadier unit. You can even trick the AI into killing for you if you move fast enough. But it's no problem for them because they literally get infinite reinforcement points. LOL.

Fun game, not worth the hassle. Don't even bother with AS2 - these developers still couldn't get it right.

Well the best way to do it is to use assault units and sneak arround.

I think it should be noted this guy is playing on Easy difficulty here. On Normal/Hard you cannot and will not be able to even APPROACH the third line of defense without the two artillery cannon absolutely crushing you and every building/tank/gun/object in the city area. I have spent 20 or so hours on this particular level and I haven't even gotten NEAR the two artillery in the rear. You have to have the Sturmtiger to even have a remote chance of beating the AI artillery.

So do not use this guide on any difficulty above Easy or you will regret it.

that would be over achieving =P

Mount & Blade certainly deserved it's success. Lets hope Mount & Blade 2 will be as good and innovative. =)
Attila  [author] 27 Aug, 2013 @ 3:16pm 
Oh yes that mount & blade video of likely what made tons of people buy the game =)
