I dont like RobZ and GoH, will I like MoW2?

I was really hoping MoW2 would be a return to the more fun, less "realistic" style of the original MoW, but the forums and game-play videos look an awful lot like GoH. Can anyone share their opinion on how similar the play test is to GoH and RobZ vs the original MoW?

It's a slightly more "realistic" CoH so you'd probably like it if you like the extreme arcade style CoH. Personally that's why I'll stick with GoH and AS2 as this is just too arcade-y

IMO this is nothing like GoH

This doesn't play at all like MOW/GOH. Whether modded or not.
It plays like... well, kinda like command and conquer 4 or something. Hell, it LOOKS like red alert 3 with the cartoony graphics.
It has a SUPER limited army you can "build" - mind you, certain slots only allow certain units, so it's not like you can even make a decent "loadout."
Then you can only bring in a set amount of stuff at any given point based on your CP and what tier is currently unlocked. If you run out, lol go f*ck yourself. If you find the enemy is using something you didn't account for, lol go f*ck yourself.
It's SUPER limited, and you're only gonna field a handful of things at a time.
If that sounds fun, then yeah. You'll love it!

Thanks for the replies, it sounds like the game is not at all like the original MoW, which is a real shame for me.

Well, its more dynamic than MoWAS2 or GOH, its more team play orientated. With batallions and decks, you must play with your teammates, push with thanks, give vision to your arty and etc.. if you play as infantry.
There is echelon system:
That gives tempo of the game, first you dont have much units in 1st echelon its more likea recoinsaince fights, then Command points increasing and on 3rd echelon its full scaled fights.
So if you like dynamic and tactical team games, you`ll probably can find interesting and engaging in MoW2

Ignore Leigh and Mcdoll, they are dumbasses. This plays like MoW and it is great. I'm one of the few people that thinks Robz is crap because the maps are not designed for their comically long ranges; This doesn't have that issue and if you are not a dimwit you should have no problem building a good battlegroup. I think this is easily the best MoW has ever been.

Resorting to name-calling right away for no reason I see, why be an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for no reason?

It is Men of War Arena repackaged with a new name... Not good at all, equally bad and disappointing as CoH 3.

Sorry but I have to agree with Detrian, insults aside. I don't see literally any similarity to Red Alert 3 with this game. It's more comparable to Company of Heroes than anything, but it still retains that Men of War feel, for better or worse.

I do agree Robz leans way too hard into the realism bit, but GoH is way better IMO. I do expect MoW 2 to have more content, however, so I'll probably be switching to it either way even if it's inferior in some ways.
