Yeah looks like it came out in 2012. heavily outdated. People complain about bethesda. These guys have been using the same antique engine for 20 years and they have released the same game over and over with asset flips under different names. Faces of war, call to arms, 6 different men of war releases all looking the same almost. And the game looks so liveless. No wind effects, no light effects, no moving grass or plants, the infantry are statues pointing their gun like these old army men toys without idle animation. If no units move the screen looks like its frozen
Compared for CoH a much older game that did the Omaha beach landing so much better, cinematic, bloody, so much mayhem, explosions and bullets while this looks like a walk in the park.

@@Mornsun123 because the thing people love about Men Of War Assault Squad 2 is the endless amount of mods ranging from medieval to ACW to Iraq, and there doesn't really seem to be much innovation in Men Of War 2 compared to Assault Squad 2 the gameplay seems almost exactly the same with a different HUD, I haven't played the game but that's just what it looks like to me. and with maps there are tons of detailed mods developed over the past 10 years with huge realistic maps like seen in Men Of War 2, I agree with you I didn't like the narrow vertical maps in MoW AS 2 but mods easily fixed that issue for me. I feel like Men Of War 2 2024 will only be amazing due mods, Men Of War AS 2 also has GEM Editor where you can create your own missions, maps, scenarios etc.
I played this exact same mission 5+ years ago as a MOWAS 2 mod by Sir Hinkel. He now works for this games devs. Shockingly little improvement to this game over MOWAS 2 from 13 years ago.
They released the same game like 6 times and 2 copies with different names Faces of War and the 2015 one. The devs are cashgrabbers not interested in improving their game and just put in the minimal work to charge another full price
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti the passion they had with the sir hinkel mod and the realism mod were such an inspiration. So sad that this is where it ended up. I still play MOWAS 2 modded to this day and there is no reason to change at this point.
This is even less intense than that Omaha mission from Medal of Honor Allied Assault. First Andy’s Take, now Apollo is selling their souls to the dollar bill.
I remember sitting in In School Suspension In the 6th or 7th grade first finding Pixelated Apollo video and couldn’t stop watching after that🔥 I’ll be 20 in November🎉 time flies watching your vids are nostalgic man💯🙏🏾
Nah get MoWAssualtSquad2 this is just a downgraded carbon copy with old voice lines with worse UI with the same graphics for quadruple the price. The only good thing about this would be the updated mod support. The co-op campaign is equal to the other versions though and there are some new mechanics that make microing less troublesome
@@cassu6 Yes GoH has a lot of mods, from Vietnam to cold war to star wars to Iron harvest or even just simple missions for the base game. There's a lot!
Disappointed in what I’m seeing. Units are still basically statues when stationary, it feels more like you’re controlling mobile turrets than people. Units still have the same voice lines from 2008 Units still pivot like they’re on a rotating platform Units still bunch up and conga-line when under fire Still no panic/moral feature Units still don’t path through trenches, they just walk through them. Still using the dated GEM engine UI Elements somehow look worse If you’re interested in this game, just play the old ones until this goes on sale lol
I mean cmon the voice lines are the only things worth keeping. They're iconic. The rest I agree with. Absolutely shameless. They're charging 50€ for this shit as well.
This game looks like GOHs little brother who was dropped on his head.the graphics are worse, the voice dialog is just awful, and the whole experience of D-Day was so under whelming, no artillary or planes flying over barely any resistance this was like tge worst representation of this battle ive ever seen. "I got grass all over my pants from sitting here doing nothing" just terrible...
I don't think the graphics are any worse than GOH. The mission reminds me of a similar tutorial from company of heroes, it would be difficult to make a tutorial style mission that would do the landings justice
@@MisterMick113 Are you blind? The graphics are way worse than Gates of hell. There is also a dedicated Tutorial mission. This isn't even one of the story campaigns... its just bad
@@MisterMick113 its not that the graphics are awful i just think GOH looks way better on my dumpy PC than it does on pixies super PC. Also why choose D-Day to do a mission like this then? everyone knoes you either have to do D-Day right or not at all
Nope. Men of War (2008) Men of War: Red Tide (2009) Men of War: AS (2011) Men of War: Vietnam (2011) Men of War: Condemned Heroes (2012) Men of War: AS2 (2014) They also made Call to Arms (2015) but Men of War 2 will release tomorrow.
Long time fan of the series. I’ve said this before. This game has an identity crisis and does not faithfully carry as a sequel. I won’t list my grievances again. Disappointed and saddened by the absolute state of the game.
It plays smoother then goh, but Graphics and sounds a little bit of a back step. That was also kinda bs AI when your whole squad got wiped out in the bunker. I'd like to know what happened cause the camera wasn't facing on the troops when they all got annihilated. At least you could call in more.
Time to see if they finally recorded new voice lines, or if they’re still using the same ones from 2008 lol Edit: They’re still using the 2008 Voicelines. So tired of this dev studio.
@@Timoruz I guess not everyone finds the same things fun. For me and my friends like half the fun is playing this game tired or drunk and just shouting the nonsensical voice lines. Even my usermane (not the @ one on yt) is a mishearing of a german voice line. Personally i find them to be the most charming part of the game lol
@@cassu6 I wouldn’t mind a refresh of the same voice lines with modern recording equipment. I think the reason I get annoyed with them is because I make a lot of custom missions and I constantly hear these lines over and over.
Idk I’m not a fan.. At first glance it seems to unlock newer more advanced units you have to win and gain essentially research points to unlock later units, and the game modes are confusing. I miss MoWAS2 where you had to capture enemy points but you could use points to buy whatever units you wanted and pursue the enemies.. here you basically only get what the game starts you off with. For me a waste of $45 Oh big issue: enemy AI can lob grenades at you from farrrr away and even on easy they spam it and one grenade has killed 5 of my people and they weren’t even close together. Infantry are useless.. and if you try to lob grenades your soldier runs basically right up to the enemy and doesn’t get the same range
Its insane how lazy this dev is re using the same tired ass voicelines from fucking 2008, units just stand around when under fire, units still cant figure out how to enter a trench or that they have to back up when they throw a dynamite etc moreover how does the UI look worse then it did 10 years ago. lmfao
Don't want to be mean or something, but the game looks like a time travel back to 2010. Why don't they use EU5 or Unity? Instead of reinveting the shovel and wheel, spend your time and money on the game and its mechanic.
That voice acting and dialogue is absolute cheese. No seriousness at all. Its like a really bad comedy show you went to for cheap drinks and salad bar. the first CoH has better lines than this. Imagine getting shot at by an mg42 and you just stand up and yell "for freedom," before charging into machine gun fire.
It just looks so lifeless...across the board. I mean the vehicles don't even make tracks in the dirt while moving, the soldiers are stiff and everything just looks bland :/ Such a shame
Pretty lame Normandy beach landing mission, for how intense and horrific the actual event was, this looks like it was designed for a toddler. I understand it's a tutorial mission. A) pick a different tutorial setting, similar games used "basic training" themed tutorials. B) even tutorial missions can offer an intense experiences. The map is just dead, empty beach, ai that just runs aimlessly around the map, where's the enemy? No artillery? Mortars? MG's resistance? This is lame AF.
This absolutely poor effort of a decent normandy beaches landing has literally just stopped me from buying the game right. That has got to be the worse looking Normandy landing ever no mass landing with tons of boats dropping troops it llooks shit sorry but they really screwed up here in my opinion this should have been much more explosive theirs bo german air support, artillery fire, no naval offshore bombardments its just to empty no men storming the beaches jist your four sappers and a handful of ncp allies i get its a tuturial but they couls have made it look how poeple would expect in a brand new game
What Shit Game, just bought on Steam and asked for a refund 10 minutes later, it is just a waste of time and money...have been waiting for this game for a long time but what a bag of shit....
Lmao what was that beach landing. Might as well just have fell asleep. No explosions no gunfire just casually walking up the beach that really makes sense. Stop playing this garbage.
no one was even shooting at you, lack of troops on the beach, no explosions, nothing cinimatic, looks like a game from 15 years ago.
Easy difficulty...
MOW1 is somehow better than the sequel.
Even the deaths look stupid. Like flying back like they were hit by a marvel hero.
Yeah looks like it came out in 2012.

I've been playing Men of War Assault Squad 2 the last week or so. It's one of my favourites. I'm so glad they are coming out with another MOW game.
If the editor is as well rounded then it will be fantastic!
Narrator: It was not in fact fantastic.
@@joemancool 🤣 oh no is it bad?

i think this beach invasion was supposed to be some stranded US dudes reading the wrong plan and invaded norway
Wasn’t men of war 2 released like 10 years ago…?
yeah lol im confused
they released a few games thats men of war assault squad 2 very confusing
Nope.
Men of War (2008)
Men of War: Red Tide (2009)
Men of War: AS (2011)
Men of War: Vietnam (2011)
Men of War: Condemned Heroes (2012)
Men of War: AS2 (2014)
They also made Call to Arms (2015) but Men of War 2 will release tomorrow.
They are releasing the game again with a few tweaks. Squeezing the juice out of that orange 😅
Men of war 2 came out last year
Will we ever escape the Saving Private Ryan pillboxes?
CtA: GoH - Ostfront is the better game. And it's still improving.
Looks great thanks Apollo
Sappers!! I was one of those!
YOU ARE FINALLY PLAYING THIS
Really cool. :) Willbe looking for more. :)
i recently started messing with the save game files and turned all enemy to allies pretty simple stuff
"we've been briefed and debriefed" - US Infantry. How???? The battle is still going on how were you debriefed? Lol
Hey Apollo sick video this mission is a bit like the first mission in Band of Brothers TV series!!!
Day 1 purchase can’t wait! Such a good and unique series along with Call to Arms
Thank you 🙏
Thinking a playthrough Apollo?
Why do I have a feeling he hasn’t play MOWAS2 in a very long time?
Bro forgot about reinforcements, lol 9:43
The units barking "freedom!" and "to victory!", make it all seem comical and cheap.
How could you just abandon steevin like this pixie
Love how the armour was useless, absolutely not needed

Need to do more episodes
apollo i cant wait anymore i have been waiting the last beta test thing
...what the fuck happened? this is not the Men of War i fell in love with.
i do hope there is editor in this game, maybe someone can make an actual dday landing mod/mission lol
Game looks fun to me. Thats all i care about, i'm gonna get it.
You should do operation bagration next.
Game forces you to play each Nation!?
