While developer Digitalmindsoft has been generous with free content additions (new maps and units) for its recent WWII RTS game Men of War Assault Squad today the developer released its first paid DLC pack for the game via Steam, the MP Supply Pack - Alpha.

This $4.99 pack adds five new multiplayer maps to the game for the Assault Zones and Combat game modes. Each map has its own specific setting. The new maps include the 1v1 map Winter Fields, the 2v2 map Plateau, two 3v3 maps (Crossing and Saipan) and a massive 5v5 map titled Train Crossing. This will likely be the first of many such paid map packs for the game.

Men of War Assault Squad has only been available via digital download for a few weeks but the WWII RTS game from developer Digitalmindsoft and publisher 1C Company just released a massive patch via Steam that contains a lot of new free content.

The patch adds a number of new vehicles and weapons to the game along with three new multiplayer maps (two 1v1 maps and one 2v2 map). There's also been a ton of changes and improvements in this first patch including many game unit balance tweaks. Rock Paper Shotgun also has a new interview with DigitalMindSoft's Chris Kramer about the changes and hints about upcoming paid DLC content.

While Men of War Assault Squad has already been released via digital download, the WWII RTS game will also be released on April 15 in retail stores in Europe via publisher Lace Mamba Global. In addition to a standard edition of the game, there will also be a nice Special Edition available with lots of extras that will go on sale in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and other countries

In addition to the game itself the Collector's Edition will contain the game's soundtrack on CD, a t-shirt, a poster, a detailed color manual, and a playing card deck, all in custom packaging. There's no word if the special edition will be released in the US nor its price.

For the next six weeks, PC gamers will experience a flood of new game titles across many genres. The overflow of games begins this week with a WWII RTS game, a long awaited adventure title, a MMO expansion pack and a first person shooter co-developed by two well known FPS game studios.

Bulletstorm - People Can Fly and Epic Games collaborated on this sci-fi pulp themed shooter that has a bunch of ragtag soldiers stranded on a planet filled with enemies both great and small. The game has players perform combos with their weapons called "Skillshots" and is generally very over-the-top in terms of its violence and its sense of humor.

This is the playable demo for Men of War: Assault Squad, a World War II themed real-time strategy game. It includes a level set in the Pacific Theatre and beating it unlocks a skirmish level based in the European Theatre.

"Men of War: Assault Squad features a completely new cooperative skirmish game mode with access to five different nations (Russia, Germany, USA, Commonwealth and, for the first time ever in the Men of War series, Japan) as well as increased realism and accessibility."

Game publishers love to offer free goodies to entice folks to buy games beforehand. Today we got word of two such offers for the upcoming RTS game Men of War Assault Squad from developer Digitalmindsoft and publisher 1C Company and the urban transporation sim game Cities in Motion from developer Colossal Order and publisher Paradox Interactive.

People who purchase Men of War Assault Squad on Steam before it's released on February 25 will not only get instant access to the game's current beta test but also will get the original Men of War game for free; that's a $14.99 value. Meanwhile if you pre-order Cities in Motion before its February 22 release date you will get five exclusive vehicles to use in the game. It includes the Jubilee Blim bus, the the Skylark III helicopter and the Arnauld Porte metro train.

While Company of Heroes Online may be shutting down soon, another WWII RTS game is getting close to release. Today publisher 1C Company announced that Men of War: Assault Squad will be released via retail stores and via download sites on February 25. Previously this week it was announced that the game would be released on March 25 in a number of countries outside the US.

As we reported earlier this week the second open beta for the game is now live via Steam. This second beta opens up the Soviet Union playable faction and also has a number of other changes and balance fixes.

As promised a few weeks ago, developer Digitalmindsoft has launched a second open beta test for its upcoming WWII RTS game Men of War Assault Squad. This second open beta can be accessed via Steam and adds the Soviet Union playable faction to the game. If you didn't participate in the first open beta you can still get keys for the second at this web page.

Digitalmindsoft has also posted up a development update on the game at its official web site. It goes over the many changes that it has put into the second open beta from improving small arms fire to adding increased accuracy to rifles to making grenades work more realistically. The game itself will be released on March 25 in some European countries along with Australia and New Zealand but there's no word yet on a US release date.

Recently an open beta was released for Men of War Assault Squad, the upcoming WWII RTS game from developer Digitalmindsoft and publisher 1C Company. Today we received word that the open beta will start up again on Steam but only if the game's Steam community page gets to the 20,000 member mark. Not only will the open beta relaunch but it will also add a new playable faction, the Soviet Union, to the beta.

The game's development team has also issued a general update on Men of War Assault Squad, revealing that the team has been working on game balance issues with units and weapons. It also revealed some plans for post-release DLC packs, some of which will be free and some which will be paid content. There's no word yet on when the game will be officially released.

As promised a few weeks ago, the free open beta test for the upcoming WWII RTS game Men of War Assault Squad is now available to download and play via the Steam PC game download service. The beta test comes from developer Digitalmindsoft and publisher 1C Company.

The open beta has two playable factions from the full upcoming game (the US and Germany) as they battle it out on a number of different maps. In addition to gameplay modes like Assault Zone, Combat and Frontlines, up to four players can check out the new Skirmish gameplay modes on two of the beta's maps. There's no word on how long the open beta will last.
