I can't understand why they can't make a single movie where it shows actual conventional millitary tactics being used. All movies have to have some kind of hollywood bullshit in them.

But it's a Russian movie...

I'd love a Band of Brothers style Stalingrad movie though, or hell maybe even Flags of our Fathers / Letters from Iwo Jima style telling both sides. And name one of 'em Rattenkrieg

I've yet to see a realistic and unbiased film from the Soviet perspective... very sad...

When I saw that part the first thing I had to think off was 300. The slow motion fighting looks pretty similar and it's probably just as 'historically accurate'.

look it's the MTV version of stalingrad! I love ww2 movies but could watch anymore after first 15m 0/10 movie indeed. Better grab a clip from "Brest fortress" for close combat russians...

On topic:

The absence of close combat doesn't bother me with coh2 - the added lethality of close range firearms makes up for it

Bayonets, melee fighting. Gotta be kidding me

While I don't think melee fits in as well as DOWII which has jump units, I would like to see a Sergeant as a squad upgrade on some infantry units especially Combat Engineers to bolster their dps, life total and model count.

I was also thinking "No Land Beyond the Volga" for the Soviet side, but that works better, it fits with the theme of 'this was an awful battle from all perspectives'. I like it.

Melee combat? This is something I see aplicable between players, not in the game

The invention of firearms made all forms of melee combat increasingly obsolete. That is not to say that there was no melee during world war 2 but the numbers of casualties by melee weapons just pales in comparison and should be rather negliable.
