I feel that many issues are exaggerated because people are too used to Company of Heroes...

Not saying it's without problems. But many complaints seem to be against a lack of polishing and nuances, comparing it to a game that had 5 or so years of playtime for polishing and fixing.

Ye but with COH, the base concepts were right from the start, then i'm thinking about upkeep, capping system, HOW THE UI LOOKS etc ...

It was just the balance of units numbers which changed over patches and well a couple of (sometimes major) bug fixes.

Did anyone else notice that the upkeep was +99 in the new screenshot? So apparently no tweaks to upkeep yet, pretty much the most obvious and important change.

You are confusing upkeep with manpower income.


And ye change that damn interface or i'm not buying this game.
Just like, put the resources in the old position and your interface just improved by 250%.

Then there is a still a bit of small things, like that massive middle banner with information nobody gives a crap about, but resources is really the priority.

Siberian Platoon is N1.

Followed by Devm, then Mathieu and myself ofc.

So I played the game yesterday and I must say it was better than any expectations I had, although these were very low.

Coh 2 is a different game, there is no doubt about it. There is no way you can compare it with Coh 1. It looks more like Men of War if anything. Yes it definitely lost it's own character. (Maybe even just the player colors have to do with it. Red and blue feels so much more like 'toys'.)

Coh 1 had great voice acting, arcade feel of toying with units, the factions (US and Wehr) were so perfect matched for each other.

Coh 2 is more spammy, less intelligent when it comes to the (worse) resource system, still a very bad Hud interface, buildings almost have no reason of being there, bulletins will probably cost tons of time / money.

Despite that, it didn't feel THAT bad when playing the game. There are good gameplay elements and the game feels dynamic when it comes to flanking manouvres and back and forth skirmishing. I just hope they still tweak the UI here and there (especially how you read your resources is so annoying.)

Balance wise ofc I can't say anything, just yet, but there is time to fix. And it's not terrible from my first impressions.

I instantly preordered when I saw the news a couple of days ago. While I still haven't ordered Coh 2 yet.

It's quite sad. But at least with AoE 2 HD i know i'll be getting a quality game. (See people at Relic, u don't need to change much to have a great game. I bet a lot of people will buy it, since it was one of their first rts games (or second since it's the 2nd Aoe ^^)

Dat nostalgia.

Nuff said.
