For those of you who don't know, Steve Blum is an extremely prominent voice actor. He's in some ridiculous number of games and animated tv shows. In Company of Heroes 1, he was the "Faction voice" for USA as well as doing several American unit voices.

The guy's voice is aweseome and I used to love lines like "One of our units was.... anihilated". It would be awesome if he could fill this role again in CoH2 Western Front Armies now that we'll have the American faction again.

That'd be pretty awesome, also the original German faction voice was a beast

Judging from the trailer, sounds like they got the same people who did rising storm for the Americans. I mean the actual units.

My dream would be for them to get Kiefer Sutherland. The man was epic WaW, but Relic probably doesn't have the money for that.

Based on Steve's IMDB list I can't imagine he turns down a solid paying role. Fingers crossed, but it's too late to change now anyway - content is about to launch!

Does anyone think the current German voice actors for Commander and Grens sound like old men with dysentery? Only the pios sound German really. Coh-1 guy was much better. Although the German phrases there were also mistranslated and mispronounced.

Also, the soviet voice actors aren't Russians. They mispronounce everything.

They seemed to go more for comedy and ignored drama.

With the German commender I believe you mean the announcer. The one who says a panzer 4 has arrived and you lost etc. he's actually native German (this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcMk85ZsBh0) and I personally think Wolf Kahler is better than the one in CoH1

Nothing really wrong with current voices. I do miss a lot of the personality and flavor stuff from coh1, units randomly chatting when you had the camera near them and stuff. I might be crazy but I don't recall any of that in coh2 :(

The German commander voice is actually a pretty famous typecasted actor. He played lots of german soldiers.

He was the main Nazi commander in Raiders of the Lost Arc.




We are not worthy!

I want André Sogliuzzo back too, he was great as the Engineers, and he was also awesome as Major Strickland (Crysis).

Engineer unit was probably my favourit voiced unit, after that both snipers. "Heart or head, either way, jerry's dead." - "I could have been a luftwaffe ace you know?" :D

Honestly a lot of the writing and even the actual voicing in coh2 is sub par compared to coh1. Its not even nostalgia talking, a lot of the lines are just uninspired and boring, not to mention indian sounding grenadiers. Then again I don't meet many people with german accents so I guess I'm not the best judge on that, v0v.

Here's hoping western armies are more interesting, and better cast.

Quinton Flynn voiced the American sniper in CoH. He is more famously known for being Raiden in the Metal Gear Solid series.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

20 Mar 2025, 10:16 AM
Rosbone: @Nickbn No, I am just saying people should not be using any Relic owned forum since they have proven they ban anyone who says true things about Coh3.
