About the plot.
The plot of the game Men of War 2 sends the players completely during the Second World War, where the allies fought with the machine of the Third Reich. Heroes and comrades will go all the way, from defeat to the capture of Berlin. Battles will take place in the snow-covered territories of the USSR, on the fields of Europe and in the destroyed cities of hostilities. Historically reliable military equipment and weapons will take part in the fighting.
About the features of the game Men of War 2.
Construction of facilities and independent building structures for each technique.
Men of War 2 has many interesting features that players can use in battles. One of these functions is the construction of facilities and structures in the process of conducting hostilities. The construction of facilities may require special infantry, engineers who can build buildings such as the “Bunker”, mine the field and other opportunities. By themselves, the “engineers” are quite weak in direct firefights with tank vehicles. If you successfully use engineers using their functions, then they are able to deliver a lot of trouble to the enemy.
Players have the opportunity to build defensive structures near a variety of military equipment. For construction, it is enough to interact with technicians, for example, with a tank, and then select a construction object. In this case, all construction objects are built around or in the nearest radius of military equipment. Such objects include “Burial in the ground (mainly near artillery)”, “construction of a sandbag fence”, “Installation of camouflage”. All construction objects of the equipment are built gradually and in a stationary state. Defensive structures allow you to increase the survivability of military equipment in battle.
Guidance system for artillery and tank guns.
Military equipment in the game Men of War 2 has interesting features of shooting at enemy targets. The sight, which the player controls, can twitch like a real vehicle when moving. At the same time, the aiming line directly affects the terrain under the military equipment. For better aiming, military equipment must be stationary, in which case the aiming line and the sight itself will be stationary. To increase the accuracy of the shot, you need to wait for the convergence of the ring around the aiming point. But, even with full convergence, the hit may not be accurate and the projectile will hit the radius of the reduced gun.
Inventory.
All infantry and vehicles in the Men of War 2 game have their own inventory, which contains the squad’s equipment. Each type of infantry unit has its own set of equipment in the inventory. The equipment in the inventory can be used and, if not needed, replaced with the equipment found. Other equipment can be found on fallen soldiers on the battlefield or in found crates. At the same time, the squad is able to use on the battlefield a weapon that does not belong to its type, if such a weapon was found.
Infantry shell shock.
Infantry is one of the weakest armored units that can be destroyed with a single shot from heavy weapons. But, there are times when some members of the squad manage to survive if the projectile hits at a short range. In such cases, the detachment is scattered in different directions, and the surviving soldiers fall into shell shock for a while. It looks very realistic and believable, and for the duration of the shell shock, the detachment is absolutely defenseless.
Gameplay in the game Men of War 2.
Players can take part in battles by passing the company or in multiplayer, where up to 5 players from each side fight on the battlefield. Passing the company for one of the three sides, the players will play the role of commanders and manage the units issued for the mission. Each combat unit has its own characteristics and capabilities in relation to other combat units. Therefore, it is very important to set the correct priorities for combat units when passing the company or fighting other players.
Company.
As players progress through the campaign, they will notice that not all of the terrain can be freely traversed. There are places where areas are covered with mines that prevent the safe passage of tanks. To identify the mined areas, you will have to send infantry ahead of the tanks, and cover the infantry with tanks. At the same time, the infantry does not have good armor and can easily be destroyed by other military equipment. Therefore, it will be necessary to let tanks in front under the cover of infantry.
The enemy, when passing through the company, likes to set up ambushes and fire on advancing echelons with artillery. Due to artillery ambushes, tank vehicles are not always effective. Tanks often have caterpillars torn off, the vehicle becomes immobile. When the caterpillar breaks, the tank can continue to provide fire support and fire from various guns. But, under aimed artillery fire, most likely, it will be destroyed.
In such cases, you can make a breakthrough with all the tanks at once or find a safe way around. The benefit of tactical maneuvers in the game Men of War 2 abound. It is important to keep most of the combat units intact in order to increase the chances of completing the mission. When carrying out breakthrough actions, it is absolutely not necessary to accurately indicate specific targets for attacking. All combat units themselves attack enemy opponents if they fall into the field of view and the zone of a possible attack.
Battles in multiplayer with other players.
You can play multiplayer in 1v1 and 5v5 modes. Each player, upon entering the battle, chooses his main role and side. In total, you can decide on one of three roles, it can be an artillery commander, an infantry commander or a tank company commander. At the same time, commanders have their own sets of military equipment and infantry. For example, an artillery commander’s set of subdivisions differs from the set of military equipment of a tank commander.
When playing with other players, the player must build on his type of features. The artillery commander needs to have time to cover allied tanks when pinning down the enemy flank or to hold the defense during an attack. The same applies to other types of commanders, at one point a swift joint offensive or joint defense. Of course, this applies to players on the same flank.
Front line.
The main feature of the game Men of War 2 is the game mode “Frontline”, in which the map is divided into 2 parts between the fighting parties. In the process of advancing and pushing through the front, the front line shifts in the direction of advance. With the offensive actions of the enemy, the front line also shifts, but already in favor of the opponents. The frontline can also reflect incoming units in the nearest radius. If there is military equipment or infantry, then the front line will shift to the range of combat units.
Conclusion on the game Men of War 2.
I must say that the game is designed very impressively and includes a large number of mechanics. Players can control a lot of vehicles and even navigate in first person. The game even has an inventory function for infantry, where you can put various portable items or replace existing ones with others. Not only can you collect items with infantry, Men of War 2 allows you to build a structure on the battlefield. Objects such as the “Bunker” are available for construction, where you can hide the infantry.
The graphics of the game is also implemented at a decent level. The camera can be moved and moved to different positions, with the possibility of close approach to objects. This allows you to take a closer look at military equipment and infantry. The position of the camera with a top view gives mobile movement between different positions on the map, which allows you to control and control equipment in different directions. As a result, the game turned out to be very good.
