* {{Sequelitis}}: Men of War: Assault Squad 2 - Cold War, for being even less polished than any of the previous games and eventually abandoned with less content and more bugs than any other Men of War game.

to:

* {{Sequelitis}}: NintendoHard: Both ''Vietnam'' and ''Condemned Heroes'' are significantly more difficult than the rest of the series.
* {{Sequelitis}}:
** While it predates the English
Men of War rebranding, ''Faces of War'' (which came before ''Men of War')' has much worse mechanics and level design compared to both ''Soldiers'' and the later ''Men of War'' games and often feels like a bad attempt at an RTS Call of Duty campaign with the linearity.

* HilariousInHindsight: The fact that tractors are usable by troops in the games, combined with the fact that it has Ukrainian developers, considering the many videos of Ukrainian farmers stealing tanks from UsefulNotes/RussiansWithRustingRockets come 2022.

* MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales: According to [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110490/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv IMDB]], the film is a cult classic in Sweden, where the quote "Spring era jävlar!" (Swedish for "run, you bastards!") is pretty known among action movie fans there.

*DemonicSpiders: Flamethrower troops can be an absolute nightmare, they can arc their surprisingly far-ranged flamethrower over obstacles and getting hit by one causes your troops to burn to death with nothing you can do to stop it, it's even worse in certain missions where they respawn.

* BrokenBase and FandomRivalry: Between Men of War playerbase and Call to Arms playerbase, usually due to the radical differences to not only the setting, but the gameplay.

* CompleteMonster: [[PsychoForHire Keefer]] is a former Special Ops [[SociopathicSoldier soldier]] who once served alongside [[TheHero Nick Gunar]]. Introduced being in charge of a local police force, Keefer [[BadBoss shoots one of his men dead]] to pin a murder on Nick and goad him into a fight. Keefer has his men aim their guns at the villagers he was "protecting" as well as Nick's team, threatening to kill them all if Nick tries to fight back, using this opportunity to brutally pummel him. After Nick refuses to carry out his employers' orders to strip mine an island of innocent natives, Keefer strong-arms Nick's employers into hiring him instead, seeing there's money to be made. Teaming up with his former superior and father figure Colonel Merrick, Keefer leads an army of mercenaries to storm the island. He [[AxCrazy takes sadistic delight]] in the [[RapePillageAndBurn slaughter of the natives, women and children included]], as it reminds him of the glory days in [[NoodleIncident Angola]]. However, when Merrick decides to pull out his forces after seeing the futility of such carnage, an enraged Keefer deems Merrick's actions as cowardice. Keefer shoots Merrick with a rocket launcher before proceeding to challenge Nick to a final duel to the death, showing he's nothing more than a [[BloodKnight bloodthirsty sadist who can't live without war]].

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: If the fact that a very large number of mods in the Steam Workshop for Assault Squad 2 are made by Russians is any indication, the game is well-loved in Russia.

* TheyJustDidntCare: Some highly blatant examples, like mixing up British and American units in the final mission of the allied campaign (which, by the way would be the only mission to feature the British on your side in the ''entire'' game), and attempting to pass Wehrmacht (including the texture, model, weaponry and spoken language) as Vichy-French Soldiers in Allied Mission 2. A German officer serves as a stand-in for ''Admiral'' Darlan (who, firstly, is now German, and secondly, an infantry officer).
** Another instance is the fact, that the Italian frigate that supports backup fire in the final mission of campaign 2 is manned by ''German airmen''.

* GameBreaker: At least one realism mod allows for completely realistic weapon ranges and power. This can create some amusing scenarios, such as the Invasion of Crete: part of your squad's mission is to eliminate anti-air guns to faciliate the paratrooper landings, and players can take advantage of their ability to see any part of the battlefield to turn the massive cannons against the British, firing through buildings and across the map to wreck vehicles and smash fighting positions.
