    Honestly, the health bar dictating a vehicles mechanical function is the stupidest thing they could of done. The helicopters are an amazing new addition, and this had so much potential. Honestly, this is such a shame. They'll learn that this isn't what people wanted by the lack of sales.

      Call to Arms had a campaign and first person mode, and improved graphics and engine. It doesn't suffer any of these stupid issues. I have no idea how they could go backwards like this. Surely a cold war expansion would have been a great addition to CtA? Or it could have been done in that series instead? It is just a better Men of War.

Like I can excuse not super high quality textures but like for a talking animation all you really need for super realistic one is to do face capture while you VA do their lines (face capture is pretty cheap nowadays, I mean hell you can do it with pretty much ever new cell phone and it isn't like I am asking for a photo realistic just a more realistic then everyone what we got) Otherwise it is still a fantastic game and I love it.

    thats really sad, i have really fond memories of being one of the best players on the 2nd one(and whatever red tide was, i think that was just a campaign), this was before assault squad one came out and that one was so great to lay ambushes for people, I would hardly use tanks unless I was covering a wide open area because anything a tank could do, one single dude with a Molotov can do better. Most games id kill 2 or 3x of anyone else in the game and lose hardly any points because the only unit id use was the super spammy light russian inf because every single dude had 2 molotovs which just one could kill a tank or an entire squad of inf and just spread them out Mix in flame throwers, a few at guns, and a couple of light vehicles that can plug gaps quickly was the most op strat ever.

    Also just to add to my last comment, I think giving the vehicles a health bar is meant to reduce the amount of times where in assault squad as an example tanks even the heavy tanks would be knocked out/destroyed with just one or two AP rounds but they did it in such a shitty way, they could have had the health bar but make it so that AP rounds did more damage not chipping away at it!
