"This is a game that is more than the sum of its demo. I’m certain we’ll be talking about Men Of War a lot more in the coming months, because it’s one of my favourites of the year so far. You should definitely play this demo." Rock, Paper, Shotgun
High praise indeed.

Demo is great but there isn't any big differences from the old one. And the voice acting is terrible.

The default controls are a bit strange. No controling the camera with the mouse for one thing.

SP Missions will probably be mush better in Co-op. Anyway MP beta is a blast.
As for controls i don't remember having any problem but i´m used to Fow/ Mow being the only rts I´m playing in the last year - when I tried Dow2 demo i didn't get used to the controls eider, so maybe in MoW they are a title different:
Vaifan1968 - Have´t tried the new demo but controls must be the same. Hold down mouse middle button (scroll) an you get a free camera, scroll can be used to zoom in and out.
Volidon - You can group normally (drawing a square) but theres a cap on how many units - this is probably design to be a Tactical squad based game - additionally you can click the units on the left panel and holding down the control key (or Shift) bind them together. usually i select units using the left panel all the time

This is going to be fucking awesome. Loved the demo. I didn't really like FOW, mainly because of the bugs, and whilst this still has that Russian 'polish' - and yes the voices are ridiculous - it didn't spoil my enjoyment one bit. I just hope the netcode stands up well as there's a lot of physics going on, and based on FOW the scale and number of units dwarfs that of the original - so it's a bit of a worry.
Can't wait personally.

Loved FOW, and loved this. It has more polish and better weapon sounds.

Cartoon - you should have joined the MP beta, I couldn't/ cant play Fow anymore after tasting the betas for Mow !
MoW is developed by the same company - BestWay on their same engine - Gem2 . Graphis wise their are almost identical ( shadows have been improved on MoW). In fact everything built for FoW can be put in to Mow and it will work with small or none alteration off the files
The real difference is in little Big things - tank combat as evolve from the point damage system to a realistic system taking account of real penetration values, armor thickness and angle of impact.
Aesthetically they look the same but in game MoW is mush more polished and tactical.
