I'm glad I'm not the only one who cares about the voice acting. With all the work they put into CoH2, skimping on the voice acting is like throwing a huge classical concert but making the orchestra play on broken banjos.

Relic really chose a poor company to do it. The Soviets aren't voiced by English-speaking Russians and the Germans aren't voiced by English-speaking Germans.

It sounds cheap. It puts me off playing Soviets because they just sound so damn awful. It's a shame too because Russian voices can sound fantastic and add a lot to the atmosphere. Instead they feel like the game's dedicated comic relief. Designed to look crappy, fight crappy and sound crappy

The Germans don't sound much better but they at least have good core inf.


Relic, if anyone there is reading this - I work in game localisation in Russia, I can give you a shortlist of Russian sound studios that can provide Voice actors who work in Russian TV/Theatre. Please, for the love of God, find a company that can offer native-speakers for Russian and German sound files.

And I recommend hiring an actual translator to write texts with Russian language instead of google-translating. One glaring example is "Kholodnaya Ferma", not "Kholodnii Ferma".

Or because you can't get voice acting right without native speakers speaking their native languages.

Every impression will sound awkward or lacking this 'something'.
