Men of War, the sequel to Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2, takes place in Europe during the height of World War II. The story unfolds across three different campaigns played out through the eyes of Soviet, Allied and German soldiers. Each campaign has its own structured timeline bringing a different story of the war to life spanning across Russia, North Africa, Ukraine, Greece, Germany, Italy and the Pacific. The main Soviet campaign sees two student comrades, Smirnov and Kuznetzov, join the army and quickly become brothers in arms as they rise through the ranks and experience the rigors of war.
Men of War features 50 new units to play, including newly designed tanks, APCs and heavy guns. The single player campaign features a fully customizable user interface so players are able to set-up their command layout as they please. In addition to the in-depth single player experience, Men of War also unleashes all new multiplayer maps along with new �capture the flag� and �high-value cargo� modes, all faithfully recreated with stunning graphics and refined AI. A new rating system has also been introduced to ensure a fair fight in online multiplayer battles.

ok, I grabbed this last night because I was bored, and it was only 6 gigs or so, I didn't like the first one a whole lot due to starforce protection and all that bullshit, But honestly this game fucking owns.
The Direct Control is pretty awesome and the graphics aren't bad, this is what Sudden Strike 3 should have been, if you like WW2 Strategy games like Company of heroes, you will love this because its a whole lot more realistic and the hits actually register quite nice (for instance I was on the first campaign with the one tank, most of my guys died and all I had was 3 guys in the tank, I was on the lower edge of a hill, for them to attack me they had to slant their tanks downward, perfect angle for my AP rounds to break both their turrets 1 by 1 with my broken-engine/1 broke track tank)
needless to say, once I saw how well done the gun physics are, I'm really enjoying this so far... if you can get past the horrible voice acting and the shitty mission briefings this game is a real gem.
