Company of Heroes 2 - The Western Fronts

[Leesin]

Tot just mad that no one plays Men of War with him. 

[Casimir]

my entire time on men of war is spent collecting all the tractors and civilian cars on a map and lining them up.  If that means blowing my way through enemies to get them so be it.

Puny mortals, fear my HT-flamer!

Tried it out yesterday. Quite intredesting and some nice changes from the old CoH. I prefered the old commander selection UI though.

Last time I I played MoW I spawned a single Russian officer and spent most of my time shooting my team mates when they refused to advance.

Anyone playing this? I'd love to have some skirmishes, have not dared automatch yet 

[Casimir]

Yeah I've played a bit of campaign and some automatches against players and AI. 3v3 is my preferred game size but im happy to play others.

Lmao "Bljeeee davai suka! Blyat suka!"   and then you insert the subtitliski, so also non-Ruski can understand.  Subtitliski are very important

Add me on steam to play; Toronado

[Jacko]

Haha, played a lot. The campaign was okey. Mostly play 2v2 as german. I dabble in the occasional 3v3-4v4, but those are much much more random. If anyone wanna play you can poke me on IRC.

Anyone play this after release?

I love the original and have the 2 expansions, but when i saw the fifty billion DLCs there just after release it turned me off.  The skins is one thing but it sounds like 6 of them are actual leveling paths which should of been included in the base game not a damn day one dlc.

So whats the story?

[Casimir]

Although the Commander dlc can be unlocked via levelling, buying them simply unlocks them early.

All the commander paths are pretty well balanced as well and the starting three for each faction are as good as the other ones.

For the skins there is one winter and summer set for each faction that can only be unlocked via purchase while there remains others which are unlocked via levelling.

As i understand it the DLC game design options were put in place while the game was under the direction of THQ (who as well all know was struggling seriously), once sega brought relic there was really no point in changing it as they were happy to take the cash.

Biggest complaint about the game is the small amount of MP maps.

[Tor!]

No dedicated 1v1 maps, I really miss Angoville, Langres and Semois. 

After just a couple of games though, I have to say that I liked the first better for 1v1 aspect atleast. Allied v Wehrmacht in old one just felt so perfectly balanced, and the focus flanking / defending flanks was great fun. In CoH2 vehicles just pop out to damn fast in my opinion, rendering the german t1 pretty weak.

What's your thoughts? I only play 1v1 so I have no clue about how the other gametypes feel like.
