you are right, but still, the americans didnt do any major wracrimes in europe. i mean, hiroshiam and nagasaki were BIG warcrimes, but those are pacific.
There has constantly been a lively debate in the US, and other nations, about the morality of the use of the atomic bombs. I think that sort of thing is healthy, having this be out in the open and part of public discourse is healthy. |

The thread should be titled "Why Some Russians..."
That's like saying American's hate video games because of Jack Thompson and the people he represents.
To say any one piece of media, or opinion, represents an entire country diminishes the views of a lot of people. |

Thanks guys.
It's good to hear.
Every game community has a small negative faction, and they always tend to be the most vocal. So we all appreciate hearing good stuff, especially me who tends to be the one people yell at first. Though I think Quinn may have passed me in threats this week.
We're super proud of the game but everyone knows that we set a damn high bar with CoH. Our goal is to surpass it, and we'll get there. Be patient with us. CoH didn't get to the awesome place it ended up in a month, or even a year. That was a long journey, one I got to be a part of at the end.
I'm happy to be on this journey with Relic and with you guys.
Keep improving the game by giving us fucking great feedback and we'll do our best to live up to what you deserve. |

It's unlikely we'll be at Gamescom. |

Does this forum allow me to give CombatMuffin infinite thumbs up? |
Sure, the Soviets were very bad......I doubt Eastern Europe will forget for a long time...but frankly, the Germans at that time were in general terms, no better. And just as we should not hold current Germans responsible for the sins of their forebears, so also the same applies to the resident of the former Soviet Union.
To be clear, and I think it is to anyone who has played our games or knows anything about us, we have never and will never suggest or downplay the horrors of the Nazi regime. We have invested a great deal of time in dealing with a section of the fanbase who saw the first game as a reason to celebrate Nazis.
I was hired to moderate the chat rooms and watch replays for players with names like "JewOven". We take it seriously and have always done so. |
its a game. so it doesnt have to be realistic.
its a story that portrays a little tiny bit of a pice of WW2. dont expect it to show the whole huge picture.
actually, i can understand, that you are upset that germans arent shown to be evil in this game, but from my perspective, it is still clear ( im from germany, a day without hearing "the nazis were so bad" is a nonexisting day). and some sowjets, especially the generals were monsters, i mean order 227 existed! if you look at the actual numers of fallen soldiers, its like 20 million sowjets to 3 million german soldiers.
The point of view of the story is from the Soviet perspective, and in fact from a single Soviet soldier. It's not the sort of story where the POV shifts, so the Germans are kept at a distance as the enemies and their story isn't touched upon.
They're like the shark in Jaws. You don't get their view because the story isn't about them. |

A lot of that stuff is stuff we'd also love to see.
However we do have to prioritize what we do and ensure that we have the money to pay for it and still have the game be profitable.
But yes I do know that there are a few things on your list that is on ours, and hopefully one day we'll get them in. However none of them are super easy additions so it's not going to happen overnight. |
they really should improve companyofheroes.com website. Basically this website better than that. No description about units,how much dmg they deal etc..
Agreed. |
