I saw an earlier post on this forum about Men of War Beta. Well, the 1.0 is out and this game is rts gold, the only issue is the European studio that released it, 1C/Best Way, didn't do enough advertising in America. MoW has an older brother called Faces of War which was picked up for N. American distribution through Ubisoft, I don't think it did very well because it looks like Ubisoft either passed on, or was never offered the opportunity to distribute Men Of War. After Direct2Drive picked this game up there were a few more American players, but not near enough...
I'm trying to spread the word about this game. It's World in Conflict meets Company of Heroes, but it was done EXTREMELY well. MoW offers an option somewhat new to RTS's called direct control, I have mine setup where I can control single units using w,s,a,d. In direct control it plays somewhat like a 3rd person shooter.
MoW is imho an RTS classic that will hopefully pull off a sleeper comeback like Sins of a Solar Empire. I did a couple of posts on my blog about the game w/ screenshots, I'll link them here. IF YOU LIKED CoH, YOU'LL LOVE MEN OF WAR.
