Company of heroes 2 review3/19/2024 This makes directional cover, while having a huge effect on your troop”s survivability, a somewhat intermittent tool. Many occasions my squads would be appearing bewildered, firing in all directions, while having a decent-sized Wild West brawl develop around them. The game has a “human wave” mentality which is in keeping with the myths of the period, but does lead to masses of AI controlled units charging across cover, and keeping on going, sometimes ignoring your own men, as they thunder on to somewhere undefined. With CoH2 I found I had a grab bag of everything that was to hand at the time, and while obviously you have your favourites, there were several missions where I was just throwing units at the enemy to attain the upper hand. Most other RTSs in my experience tend to refine down to you finding the handful of most efficient units for your playing style and concentrating on them. The multiplicity of variants leads to a rock, paper, scissors game with every tool and material in the world ever invented or discovered. Got too many men on the map to allow you to call out that T34? Well, those shivering recruits over by that wall look like they fancy “scouting” the darkened area ahead at a full charge. The only restriction is the storyline availability of units and the headcount cap which is ever-present. Relic have managed to marinate some of the Russian front into the program so, as the Russian player, you often find that your only single-player tactic is to keep pushing out those poorly armed recruits, massing them and then rushing at the machine guns and tanks of the enemy.Īs with the original, a lot of the flavour of your group is defined by what equipment you find lying around for your units to pick up. Whether that”s an improvement seven years after the original, I find hard to state. When somebody starts a review with “I was looking forward to…” there”s a fair bet there”s going to be some “buts” rising into the conversation somewhere.ĬoH2 is only a small step away from the previous version in look, feel and play. I was looking forward to getting to grips with Company of Heroes 2 from Relic Entertainment, being a big fan of the previous incarnation.
