Men of War: Red Tide takes you back to WWII, again photo

Men of War: Red Tide is the stand-alone expansion to the original Men of War for the PC. The expansion will introduce a new story, new units, new upgrades, new weapons and there will be over 20 missions for the player to experience what World War II felt like for the billionth time.

There's a lot of ways to bring the pain to the enemy in Red Tide, but by now, I'm so tired of the World War II setting. How about you? Men of War: Red Tide will be out later this year for the PC. Check out the trailer and screens for the game after the break.

Men of War: Red Tide is a stand-alone expansion to the critically acclaimed RTS Men of War. The game introduces a new story driven campaign based on the writings of Soviet scribe Alexander Zorich and dozens of new or upgraded units and weapons. Men of War: Red Tide will not require the original Men of War to play.

Men of War: Red Tide is a stunning mixture of RTS and a third-person action that introduces a new fighting force known for its brutal efficiency during the height of World War II. Played out across more than 20 missions, Men of War: Red Tide has players take command of the feared “Black Coats", the nickname given to Soviet Marines, an elite combat group specializing in engagements near the shoreline. The player has direct control of new game units including the Black Coats, new tanks, self-propelled guns, armored trains, landing craft, artillery and new enemy emplaced weapons to capture and use. New air support options include new fighters, bombers, hydroplanes; cruisers, destroyers and gun boats which provide naval fire support.

Fighting during the Black Sea Campaigns of WWII, history buffs and WWII aficionados will recognize theaters of battle such as Odessa, Sevastopol, Theodosia, Eltingen, Nikolaev and Constanta.

23 missions - Soviet, German, Romanian and Italian forces

Six intense historical battles and landing operations during 1941-1945

Over 100 different military units: tanks, artillery, armored cars, planes (fighters, bombers, transporters), war ships and boats (cruisers, torpedo boats, gunboats)

If this has as much hat-stealing as in regular Men of War, consider me sold.

I failed to find a retail version in my area so I guess I'll be purchasing Men of War on Steam... I'm so hard for this franchise.

OH FUCK NO.

Inglorious Bastards just makes me want every single FPS in the world to be about killin' Nazi's.

Oh, I'm sure this game is good too....

The game's pretty fun and interesting at certain times, but is almost freaking ass hard if you so much as make a wrong move.
