In part one of our "From History To Gameplay" developer diary, Lead Game Designer Quinn Duffy talks about some of the historical context surrounding World War II, and the key role Britain played.

Quinn is a great spokesman when it comes to connecting the game to its historical references.

Fricking Emplacements

The Voice acting is pretty good though.

The voice acting seems to be awesome.

Too bad they are going to fuck this up in the German version.

Dont worry coh2 brits will not be campy like coh1, and at least in alpha Bofors wasnt so meta.

Can't be any worse than OKW's lol-flak emplacements (I Hope)

most maps are in Holland, and still brits have Comet that never fought there and barely had seen fight in Germany, makes sense, why don't Germans get Maus's or E-series tanks

Why even bring this up?

There were piddling few of many of the German vehicles ever produced but somehow they are all over the game.

And a lot of that limited Germnan tech somehow gets to 1941 and 1942 battlefields?

1100 Comets were produced and more were in production. That is a whole lot more than the 40 Ostwinds and 0 Maus'.

Likewise there were only 3 engagements ever recorded in which the US faced Tiger I's, so should they be banned from Ost when facing USF?

If the war had gone on the new Allied tech would have faced and overmatched the Germans. They just happened to defeat them pretty quickly without the advanced tech (of course in reality Allied late game was much more powerful than Axis late game).

Thats why I play in English/French. I mean, even the German voiceacting for the Germans is incredibly bad.

Barton, Avny, this is a videogame..."authenticity", to whatever degree this can be realised in the first place, should not exactly be at the forefront of priorities.

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

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

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

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

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.
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.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM

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