Good use of Dhsk to counter assgrens, and T-34 to finish off the game.

My hero has spoken! MVGame


I just thought it was funny because it was a noob fest by both of us, pretty bad play all around. LOL

I think what you're saying here is quite typical for all those of you non-russian who question Relics version of the Red Army.

Basically you have no beef with any russian. You may even know and like some. You side with them and see no reason to offend them.

That's a natural and good attitude towards other humans. I like that.

But you must try to divide your relation to present russians from your attitude to the russian history. Understand that condeming stalinism is not an attack on your russian friends (unless they belong to the minority of present stalinists ofc.).

It's exactly the same as with germans. Noone fears or hates germans today, but it doesn't stop us from condeming holocaust and make movies and games about nazism during WW2.

It's the same thing with the SU.

I don't feel it's the job of an RTS to lecture me about the ills of the soviet union, especially when faced with the nazis in a fight for the country's survival, let alone the regime's.

Please, take your cold war nonsense and piss off. We know Stalin was bad, even worse than hitler, we know the soviets did terrible things, but in the CONTEXT of this game, as in, the struggle to remove an occupying invader who's sole desire is wiping you from the planet, I think a little outrage from russians is quite well placed given the inordinate amount of nonsense in the single player. Killing surrendering soldiers? Fine. Killing german civilians or have rape and pillage scenes? Sure, w/e, but to make it the MAIN theme of the entire single player that russians are;

1.) Cowards
2.) Criminals
3.) Murderers that want to lose the war by killing friendlies all day

or even dumber that

4.) Russians just died for pictures and propaganda instead of, say, idk, repelling an enemy invasion....

This all throughout the campaign, not just a single mission or too, that's overboard and nonsensical, unrealistic, and unbefitting CoH and any historical RTS focused on BATTLE.

It is hard to align the actions you display in your own stream with your indignant response to the Single Player Campaign. Your appeal does not feel genuine. Especially since Relic had a proper response months ago, which makes your upset overdue, mean-spirited and interlaced with other intentions.

...which are?
