This PC Gamer reviewer should fired. He clearly can't write a good review of game. I mean, he bashes game for 3 pages, then mention multiplayer mode in one paragraph (with I would think it's crucial for an RTS game) and then give game 80%. Score should be much lower based on his review.
Not saying about few of his "examamples". He didn't have ammunitions to spam flares and on-map arties, rolf.
Still, this review made me more sceptical about final game. Strongly considering if I should buy CoH2. I guess I'm just waiting for somekind of glorious revelation. I mean, I play mostly multiplayer but campaign in CoH was very entertaining. And current multi is just, meh. Soviet faction deseign with gimmick abilities like ram, buttoning and units like scout cars with snipers or "instant flank" flamers. On top of that not so great UI, lack of interesting 1v1 maps and almost zero support for competetive play. Have to wait and see where Relic is going with CoH2.I wish you the best though!
EDIT:
I've played all the campaign and all TOW and I am going to give it around 9.5/9.6 on my Italian review (the SP and coop are both almost perfect). After I read the PCGamer review I'll tell you how much they fucked up.
And hope is slowly rising
