Aye, I would like to see more RTS games have better unit behaviour and such. CoH was and still is called the best strategy game of all time because of its innovation. A cinematic level of animations, cover system, semi-realistic armor, squad-ai, etc. The fact that the battles can look like a movie with just a little bit of camera-work is bloody fantastic. Most of that is still in CoH2, but some important things have been nerfed (less animations and near no squad-ai). It's still a respectable experience, however.
So many RTS games dont have these things that would enhance the experience. Even the Wargame series, which you would think would at least have something like proper cover, is sorely lacking. The only cover it has are forests and buildings, and buildings seem to be the only one that properly reduces damage. It makes sense, buildings are pretty simple to do. Bloody starcraft has the bunkers and such. In- fact, the Infantry element of wargame is just balls. They look horrible and behave like light tanks without any good weapons.
Oooo this turned into a rant, very sorry about that.

Thank you for your rant |
This game will have 1 second-loop fighting animations again. Infantry will behave like robots like it as command and conquer 1999. why does no RTS dev ever address that? |
Oh vasa...
you should spend more time playing the actual game and less time shoutboxing |
And they were very brittle strats. I dunno, I never stopped watching people play vcoh and haven't found sniper strats to be consistently reliable unless versus an opposing fronts faction, for which I have no sympathy whatsoever.
the question of reliability wasnt existent. you had to spam snipers to stay competetive because their bullshit design was just OP and lame.
the game basically consisted of defending your snipers with stuff and the right mine usage. |
You never caught on to how brittle sniper heavy strats are did you?
every strat in that game at its later lifecycle was a sniper heavy strat. |
HAHA, made my day
In my opinion, CoH 1 is much better game.
Strategic better game, and u need much more micro in high level play!
And with the most important strategic decision: "do i get 2 snipers, do i get 2 snipers or do i spam 3 snipers... hmm....?" |
Well JT is a OKW unit. They are always good, does no matter vs what
replace "OKW" with "brits" and you have a correct sentence |

What do i have to do for a AoE4 Screenshot? |
awesome mechanics of doctrines from CoH 1
"awesome mechanics of doctrines"
was usually for the fatherland spam with Heavy bunkers

howitzer tree from infantry company to counter bunkers |
i used the last survey in an attempt to tune down the mortar pit.
but the community wanted a 6 months penal battalion balance peview instead |
