I am considering making Youtube videos of my gameplay. I am ranked top 60 atm as USF in 1v1. I would love to make videos of my gameplay aswell as capture myself commentating this, with focus on my tacics and my thoughts throughout the game. The videos will be mainly for entertainment but also for new players who would like to learn. I have tried streaming but with my slow internet I can not manage to create high quality streams. Are there people out there who would be interested in watching this? give me feedback please.

Yeah, people such as myself have to spread the word to others about channels such as yours. I'll watch it and I'll recommend it to people who are curious about new channels.

Good castings are always welcome, and sooner or later, you'll get a good crowd. I'd advice you that you should watch on "how" you will talk - avoid fast talking, and avoid language crutches, such as the horrible "like" that people say amidst every word. Also, I think it helps if you think about who you want to talk to - experienced player, newbie, professional or the curious gamer that heard about this Company of Heroes stuff and came about.

The aforementioned casts were reminded because of some of these details. English is not my first language, and I think ImperialDane does a great job at casting, with good tone, cadence and the occasional cheering.

I'd advice you to watch some castings made by The Frontline Network ( https://www.youtube.com/user/TheFrontlineNetwork ), these guys were amazing and it's a shame that they never came back for more castings. The game was pretty new by then, so expect a lot of strange meta.

If you're doing any replays or live games, I personally want commentary. NorthWeapon, whilst the videos are taken on a good PC and the tactics are sound, doesn't do commentary on his live games and that puts me off. The more you have to say, the better.

I agree completely. I enjoy watching casts on Youtube and by "cast" I mean gameplay with commentary. A cast is different from just posting the recording of a match.
I really enjoy Magpie842 because he combines humour with tactical commentary that really helps to keep the casts interesting and fresh, without being disrespectful to the players he was commentating on.
There was one caster that I managed to watch for a few minutes before shutting down the video and never watching again. He spoke loudly and quickly, was disrespectful of the players and when something vaguely amusing happened he said "lololololololol!"

Sorry but no. Hearing someone say "lol" is bad enough, but that is just wrong. Either actually laugh or don't bother.

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 :clap:
