COH 2 Special Advice

Alright, I have seen Relic destroy the most amazing game ever in COH 1 with the release of Tales of Heroes taking a great game and making pretty much unplayable for 2 months.

After that, I promised myself, I would stop supporting Relic but have still been following my man on this website.

I see a special on now so I'm hoping that they haven't failed COH 2 as bad as they did and I'm ready to take the plunge.

Can I be so bold to ask for some advice on which ones I should buy while the special is still on. As far as I can see, its $12.50 but does that give me all the armies, i.e US as well? Is that on special?

What do you guys recommend.

Thanks in advance guys.

Good to see COH 2 still trucking along, hope Relic have been smart enough to look after you guys.

(no need to purchase CE as it's not worth it)

(only buy the package)
As for DLC it's not mandatory since there is the war spoils system but many commanders just aren't worth it. This was discussed in another forum post recently.

CoH2 base game gives you Soviets and Wehrmacht. USA and the second German faction (OKW) can be purchased together for $20 or separately for $12 I think. IMO buy both WFA factions and decide whether you like the other 2 factions enough to buy the base game.

Can I be lazy and ask for a brief breakdown of the DLC? I saw a very brief thread about it but it didn't really clear it up for me.

Does anyone miss COH-O? That was a lot of fun if you excluded the horrific balance they had going. Loved just jumping on and getting 4 v 4 matches, still can't believe they just shut that down. That could have been great if they managed it better.

Automatching works in a very similar fashion as in Coho.

DLC includes skins, singleplayer missions, coop missions and Commanders. Basically commanders are the same as vCoh companies and doctrines. You can pick 3 commanders before the match then select one of them during the game. You have some commanders by default and they are mostly decent enough. There is also a small chance to get drops after you finish battle ( in same way as in Counter strike:GO). Random drops include skins, commanders and intel bulletins (Coho had similar things too, small buffs you can apply to your army but they are not as imbalanced as they were in Coho).

Would be pretty good if the 'leader' could swap.
Not absolutely necessary to survive though.

SHOUT IT OUT!

aerafield: @LimaOscarMike I would say nowadays is a decent time to try CoH3. If you loved CoH2 however, there is a solid chance you're gonna dislike CoH3

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.

Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

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
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

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.
