campaign missions arent playtested, singleplayer or coop, base game or dlcs doesnt matter, you will encounter bug after bug, crashes and errors, if you play coop that is easily 2 hours lost if you or the host crashes because you cant save/load ingame, and the missions are structured in a way that you NEED to save/load if you want to finish without a headache

multiplayer becomes unplayable when theres more than 4-5k players online, 90% of the time youll be seeing "connecting" if you try to join a lobby, and dont let me start with the amount of bugs that you can get in just the lobby screen and pre-game, hope nobody has previously played with mods and didnt restart their game, otherwise the host will crash when loading in! good luck trying to figure out why nobody is joining your lobby, its probably not even showing up on the lobby screen, IF you can even host a game because its so buggy you need to try twice maybe even 3 or 4 times just to finally host it yourself

and of course, take a shot everytime you see "performance drop experienced by player ..." and i gurantee you will be dead from liver failure before the end of the day, that is if you even manage to get into a game lmao

conquest is a major time waster, have fun wasting 7-8 minutes everytime you have to defend, no option to make the enemies come earlier, you think AA units will defend against airstrikes? tough luck, ingame they will nearly always ignore any plane coming towards you so i hope youre prepared to lose your most valuable units once those planes come, no saving or loading in conquest either, restart from the beginning or tough it out.

the games been getting updates, but none of these issues ive described have been touched despite me playing for a year and half now, its only getting worse which is why im leaving a thumbs down, used to be pretty fun and finding a non laggy, non desyncing lobby in multiplayer wasnt as hard as it is now

something that has always bothered me in this franchise is just how good artillery is. It's fun for a while until you realise the best strategy is to send scout troops to find targets for your artillery. These games are still fun for playing with friends though, but on public online matches it really is all about who exploits artillery the most. I played the MoW2 closed beta and my experience was the same. Most people chose the artillery doctrine and just sat in the back of the battlefield nuking everything that was spotted by whoever was brave enough to actually fight in the frontlines. And infantry was very much useless in my short experience with MoW2.

all these idiots who can't grasp the concept of Steam reviews, that when you pick "thumbs up" or "thumbs down" it's not "i enjoyed/not the game" - it's for either recommending the game for other people, who still haven't bought it, or not recommending and for this case, the more time person has played the game - the more chances that their recommendation is worth to look into

there is no strategy or soul, disable direct control and what do you have? play 5 games without using direct control, completely disable it infact. you will not have a fun experience because you so desperately need to micro every single unit/tank in this game just to not tear your hair out at how bad it really is. this leaves absolutely no room for tactics. the only time you ever side shoot a tank is when the player doesnt see that their tank ai turned their entire tank sideways. you can't flank anything in this game. best thing you do is micro 10 smoke grenades, then micro spam grenades and you win

nukeman stfu this is no different than a person in war thunder or league of legends with 2000+ hours who reviews it bad, i might enjoy it and ill spend more hours but i don't want other people to get this game expecting a good multiplayer experience when the community despises new players (3 feedback threads in the discord that is just old players saying "haha skill issue, skill issue! new players should get good at the game, skill issue"
