About
Men of War: Vietnam is a new game for the critically acclaimed series. The new, story-driven campaign lets you taste the explosive mix of the jungle, Hueys and rock-n-roll in 1968. The US campaign focuses on a team of elite special ops soldiers, and each one of them has a personality.
The unit includes Sergeant John Merrill, machine-gunner Jim Walsh, sniper Sonny Armstrong, grenade launcher operator Carl Dillan and combat engineer Bill Kirby. In some missions they can count only on themselves, while in the others they act together with regular US and South-Vietnamese troops. The North Vietnam campaign tells the story of two Soviet military consultants and two soldiers of the North Vietnam Army who are the only survivors of an ambush prepared by the US troops. The task of getting back to the North Vietnam territory is a difficult one – they have no means of radio communication, no wheeled vehicles, and it’s too far to make it there on foot. On their way these survivors get involved in a chain of bloodbath engagements and find themselves in the dead center of the well-known Tet offensive.
Missions range from special operations (rescuing a shot-down pilot, escorting a reporter, etc.) to full scale battles.
Key Features

Some Beug, but this game remains and will remain a super RTS.
Men of war: Vietnam one of the only RTS on the Vietnam war.
I advise for all fans of the genre (RTS).

Even on just way too heavy! You can't get Supplies like you do in CoH. That means you have to kill an entire Army of Vietnamese With a 6 Man squad. In addition, You have Black Afro Ammi Neger who meet nix And don't listen to Commands.

The Degree Of Difficulty is downright ridiculously absurd. How can such a Siel go on sale? Who is testing such a Product? This probably only works for Software, as it cannot be returned. Entertainment goes differently. If I offer three Levels of difficulty, the simplest should be easy, too.

Dont Buy! It is a complete MESS in comparison to MOW II. You wont find anything good that you remember from it. Physics broken, pathfinding broken,AI broken, Missions SUCK as HELL and the worst: you wont recognize ANYTHING of that nice atmospheric battles. I cant describe how dissappointed i was when i started this pile of trash which tries to incarnate the Vietnam war on an insulting way. I expected much more from this company but this game made clear that talent is not whats driving 1C Company.

Men of War: Vietnam is the 4th Game in the MoW Series and a successful Successor. However, the Game, like Red Tide before it, thrives on the interesting Campaign and the Fact that there is much more to consider in Men of War than with, for example, Company of Heroes. Unit Diversity is not as pronounced as in Assault Squad, but far fewer Tank models (and Tanks) were used in the Vietnam War than in World War II. The Game is not yet fully developed, but worth buying for Fans of Men of War.

A solid Game in itself, but due to some Defects is not Fun in the Long run. The Main Problem for me is the unfair AI and the absurd Fact that you have to stand up to hundreds of Enemies with a few Men. If everything were not so wild, your own Soldiers would not fall over so quickly.
Positive-Opponents usually behave quite well in Battle-Graphics, Sound and Music are solid-Many Weapons, Grenades and Vehicles-Soldiers can be controlled by yourself-You always need a good Strategy-running through is not going!
-Speed is adjustable Negative-Damage of Opponents in Some cases far too high-Opponents become aware of one despite Silencers, Hit through walls or don't see one when you stand directly in front of them-Greater battles too chaotic-continuous Crashes when loading- Voiceover partly ridiculous and too few Speakers-The obligatory "Sneak Into the Enemy base and alert no one" mission-Pitfalls that kill you immediately
