About the title, in the end, the main character is very much portrayed as a hollywood hero which pretty much still justifies the name Company of Heroes. In classic story structures, the hero always has to make a sacrifice to achieve his goal. In this case the sacrifice is the gulag. Yet he eventually achieves his goal in showing how bad his commander and his decisions are, and that's what it's about. And the bad commander eventually changes and becomes 'good' by not executing Lev which might even suggest that the Soviet army is a better place/army at the end. And the men who died during the war are still portrayed as heroes during almost the whole campaign, their commander is just not.
Also, Bad Comedian is completely biased too in picking some parts of the campaign. He completely ignores the parts where the Russian soldiers actually act like a company of heroes; saving the civilians in M01, saving their commander in a heroic counter attack in another mission etc.
I stopped watching halfway. I agree the perspective on the campaign doesn't really improve the image of the Red Army and the USSR, but the way the video is made is just as misleading. He is also using incorrect facts and linking mission descriptions with video's from other missions that had nothing to do with the original mission and just misleading the audience. Like completely ignoring the first part of Guderian's quote which actually proves the opposite of what Bad Comedian is saying. This video is just a blatant way of bashing relic after he was discontent with the campaign plot.
Relic stated from the beginning they wanted to show the brutishness and cruelty of the eastern front. And to achieve that goal they used a story that could show all that yet it would not give a representative image of the Red Army. Once you accept that this is not their portrayal of the whole Russian Army it shouldn't be a problem placing the plot in it's right perspective. Not every partizan got shot by the Russians, maybe this happend just once and I agree that this is cruel and portrays those Russian soldier/their commander as cold killers, but relic picked that story since they thought it supported their plot. And you are free to like the story or not, just like a movie, but a lot seem to ignore that this is just one story of a few people that does not represent the Red Army in general but in a way in which relic is able to tell their story about the harsh east front.
Ok strafe did need a fix but alls they had to do was double the ammo cost! Now it is totally usless! One of the best things in the game made pointless now :\
Relic really cant balance for shit can they!
Opel i agree nerf it, half the time i dont even use it, strafe did get spammed so 240 ammo would solve this but now for 120 ammo its really shit and useless, even make quads rape it atleast it forces them to spend ammo vrs it to balance it but nerf it into the ground like this? JOKE!
Germans still OP though lol.......
If you could just talk about balance in a normal way for once. Instead of the OMG OP NERF BAN RELIC SUX! style.
