I was disappointed(understatement) when I found out Barbedwire and Digitalmindsoft weren't the Developers of MoW2(Best Way), so I didn't buy it. I probably will one day.

I'm very curious too to know what either game does best according to players of both...
I don't own MoW2 (yet?) but I liked MoW Assault Squad 2, though not quite as I like Gates of Hell plus all DLCs, to be fair.

Gates of hell is great , but MEN OF WAR 2 is also very good I think.

Man at War 2 is more tactical Arcade than Simulation.
Artillery is 100% accurate and has an overuse punishment feature of being spotted map-wide for other artillery.
There is no field logistic units, you withdraw units from the map to have them rearmed, remanned, repaired, and refueled.
Medics are ninjas that save downed infantry. Also better have medics in your infantry deck.
Some Infantry squads are AI commanded and can't have soldiers individually ordered.
The deck system is more like Wargame or Steel Division, so losses do count.
There is a stealth mechanic and unit icons will notify if that unit is in view of the enemy or it has lost it's camouflage effectiveness.
The thing is you can totally modify combat balance of Gates of Hell to play just like Men at War 2.

MoW2 was quite fun as an arcade game in co-op with infantry but at the same time it's way too arcadey in the strategic game modes for my liking.

mow has robz realism this does not

MOW2 have a much more stable multiplayer and a scaleaqble interface. The only disadvantage is the too much arcade gameplay,but it is possible to change with mods and perhaps with better realism-patches.

But not possible for GOH is to change to a newer engine (MOW2 have it) and so the multiplayer will stay at the horrible state...same with the interface.

I can only hope MOW2 become a higher playerbase and modder they make MOW2 more realistic.
But both games are very good : GOH for singleplayer and MOW2 for multiplayert. But it is not fair to say MOW2 is not a good game because too much arcade. And for me the arcade-gameplay is not so bad in MOW2 vanilla....sure i prefer more realistic gameplay too.

But many player seem to forget that MOW2 have the newer engine and make the game more realistic is not such a big change like a game it use an older engine with a horrible multiplayer technique and a not scaleable interface (cant join a game with hurting eyes).

I own Men of War 2 Assault Squad but never played it. Maybe I'll give it a whirl. I just feel like Gates to Hell + DLC has so much content that it'll keep me preoccupied for a very long time.

No every one wants to play super slow strategy simulation gameplay , and not every one wants to play super fast rts game like starcraft , or company of heroes.I think Men of war 2 is perfect for some one who wants to be in the middle Gates of hell-Men of war 2 - Coh3,starcraft and so on

[Doggy]

Yes very well said !!! But the advantage for MOW2 is the newer engine so with mods you can have a more realistic game or even not.
But MOW2 need more player and when the playerbase is so low i think not man mod will be released and the devs from MOW2 will stop to support the game.

with such a low playerbase the devs cant earn money and to support a near dead game make no sense. But i hope MOW2 will be supported in future too.

For me a better engine and a working multiplayer is more important as a better campaign and more realistic grafic.

I have always followed this saga since Soldiers Heroes of World War II ( 2004 )
, probably the games i have loved the most in my life

The thing I like the most is having fun with the Editor , but I have less choice with GoH

I just realized you're talking about Men of War 2 and not Assault Squad 2. Looks like Men of War 2 is tanking hard. While I wish nothing but success for these types of games, it plainly looks like this game took the wrong direction on certain things. I think I'll stick with Gates to Hell, given the amazing mod community. And if I get bored of that (doubt it), I'll immerse myself into AS2 and that game's immense mod community.

I will take this opportunity to ask the developers a question , Does the DLC bring new infrastructure ( house )
