You wanna know what really scuffs me about this game? Mods. Relic said that they would allow for more flexibility and such in modding than the hyper-restriction that existed in CoH 2 with dedicated tools, and… Well, that was a fucking lie lmao. I’ve heard they walked back on it; if not, they haven’t done ANYTHING involving modding. Hell if anything it’s even STRICTER than CoH 2 from what I’ve seen. This is so fucking agonizing. We’ve seen CoH *devolve* in mod support, going from freedom to make true custom factions in CoH 1 to whatever the hell is going on in 3. I hope this vid shows SOME hope. Aaaand just as I finished this comment I got to the last section. User-made maps? Well, that’s progress I guess, but my main hope is a return to CoH 1’s sheer flexibility.

look, if they makke a company of heroes, but in their own universe, own lore, crazy weapons and scenes. i would love it. i feel like, sticking to historical areas is kinda.... meh nowadays. they need to do something that creates fun, to create new mechanics, they can then APPLY to real life settings. but I don't think you can impliment a WHOLE GAME nowadays based ona real life setting. and by own universe I don't mean goblins and elves. or a post apocalyptic earth. just something new, simple to understand. the confusion that comes FROM IT, is why i like and stay with a game.

Coh3 campaign is just a worst version of Coh2 Ardennes assault with crappier UI, AI, Graphic... You know what, everything about this game is worst than its predecessor which released a decade ago.

And i thought the AI in call to arms was dumb😂

am i the only one that started coh2 on mp matches, then did the campain and at the end played vs ai?

27:51 the awkwardly walking mark_tank.jpg got me laughing

"I'll be willing to bet my entire savings that the people that made that decision were not the ones that ended up getting fired" - Grant I'd make a T shirt of this

I used to be a die hard fan of CoH2, but I can’t bear myself to buy CoH3 after trying the alpha. The decision to have the “CoH development project” that were supposed to be a way we players can help improve the game, only for them to ignore our feedbacks completely is just pure disrespect. I swapped to playing SD2 afterwards and has been much happier ever since. It’s not like new RTS bring anything new to the table anyways

I can't play these RTS games where you can't zoom out to see the entire battlefield. SC2, COH and all like them just do my head in trying to control units to fight enemies I can't see with poor controls to move the screen around. What is the point of long ranged units that shoot further than the screen size even at max zoom out? I hate being forced to look right up the A** of my units for no reason. I'm here to control the marco part of the conflict, not check that each guy has his damned shirt tucked in. COH fell behind where games like Steel Divison, or Wargame or Warno race far ahead. So many other companies are doing a better job of what Relic started with DOW and COH. Also, why can't we control units? Call to Arms does it fine, and smoothly transitions from 3rd to 1st person modes. If the battle dies down or I want to park my tank 'just so', let me drive my units.

25:16 both battlegroups were free. And the naming of the patches is quite accurate to how they did name operations during ww2.

19:00 you need to adjust your audio levels

I mean, all-in-all the game played fine for me, but because the game feels less of a game as far as setting and factions go, I still play Company of Heroes 2 (although to be honest much more HOI4 for my WW2 fix these days). Isn't a WW2 game without a T-34 or a Katyusha. EDIT: Ah, there he said it -> 16:46 Yes thank you. My reason for not playing it as much and going back to Coh2

Where are the italians in this italian campange xD

Iron harvest had the same problem this kind of game just doesnt catch a break

Reign of Chaos campaign was fun, really liked it, but Frozen Throne came out and it was already falling apart. War3 was the first War I played (got the previous two shortly after), so I didn't have some big attachment. RoC was solid with logic progression and TFT was all over the place. First of all, Orc are just not involved. They got removed from the main plot for a side-story that was just a beta test for WoW. In Roc you kill the big blue evil dude and then TFT you see there's another big evil dude, only he's red (it was literally the same character model) and I was pretty much done at that point. Everything from the games boxart to all the promo material makes you think Arthas is the driving force behind the events, but he shows up 2/3 into the story, literally gatecrashing out of nowhere. If anything, Illidan is the main character, as he's the one with some plan and agency. He's moving the plot along and being proactive, Arthas just reacts to stuff and is always ordered to go here and there. And it ends with a big sequel bait which wouldn't pay off for the next game and two expansions. 1:08:15 Yeah, later on, not so much now. Same thing with how people were saying Arthas fighting Illidan in that one intro to that one Night Elf mission should've been remade in some big epic Dragon Ball Z fight. No. You're saying that cause you've got all the context that came later. I've been there in 2002 and the fight was next to nothing. If anything, Arthas should've stomped Illidan, cause he's the one we've been following for two campaigns and here's this random purple guy now who's only said to be strong (and is gone after one mission too). None of this "reflecting WoW" shoudl've ever made it into this game. Don't do retocons like deleting Furion Stormrage just to appease those have never even seen an RTS Warcraft. 1:24:31 I played trhough all the campaigns again just a few months ago and don't recall a single crash. I don't know if it may have something to do with having a new rig, but that part went smoothly. And while we're on the subject, yes, Reforged's budget and time got hacked, but then all the reviews and memes pretty much ensured Blizz would just bury it and not bother much with patches, not mention any possible Warcraft 4. It especially hurts seeing how good Diablo 2 Resurrected turned out. If they let Vicarious Visions get to re-reforging now with enough time and money, this could still be salvaged. 1:46:44 Yup, it's all WoW. Simple as that. Becaue all the kids who grew up with only WoW would be confused. 3:20:29 I just figured he got a promotion since he's the new druid authority after Cenarius. We couldn't have just gone with that, Blizzard?

Let's be honest here, the 4X style of campaign doesn't really work for Company of Heroes because it just doesn't fit the overall theme of the game. The game is focused on small unit tactics, COMPANY of Heroes. This is why I think the Ardennes Campaign on CoH 2 is FAR superior than the Italian CoH 3 Campaign, as it is more of an XCOM mixed in with some roguelike elements where every decision matters because your company strength is persistent and veterancy carries over.

Russian military strategy in the nutshell

1:06:16 This part feels especially bad for folks who have read the novelization of Arthas' journey. To quote verbatim: "It had taken a while, but eventually they had crossed the river. As he (Arthas) pondered the solution, something had twinged at the back of his mind, a tingling sensation he couldn't quite figure out. Annoyed, he dismissed the strange sensation and instructed several of his unfailingly loyal soldiers to create their own bridge- a bridge made of rotting flesh. Dozens of them waded into the river and simply lay there, forming layer upon layer of corpses, until there were enough of them that the meat wagons, catapults, and trebuchets could make their lurching ways across." After seeing that ice bridge, I wondered: instead of giving him powers he didn't have at the time and making a cutscene for it, would it have been simpler to just make the mission have you either drop corpses by way of meat wagon into a drop point at the bridge, or have you train a ton of ghouls and position them near it? It feels like it would've been an easy win-win flavor and gameplay wise, but I'm no programming expert so I can't say if it's easy to actually implement. Would've been hella cool to see that bridge of corpses though.

The PS5 version of this game kinda feels forgotten. Hopefully they actually improve it along with PC.

Half the reason I love Battle for Middle Earth is definitely the scale

Nobody has told this guy about the other campaigns beside the main game campaign and the expansion? There are like two more in the base game...

the voice acting is also dogshit

Just: Steve, increase your keyboard repeat rate!

In my eyes, the first game is still the best one. If they patched it with a few quality of life updates, some pathfinding and networking fixes, it would draw more people in and it'd be perfect.

Honestly I like the idea of choosing where to attack first. Imagine you take the port first but because you didn’t take the other town, the enemy brought in reinforcements. The whole open thing is. Idk the mechanics is kinda boring.

Dune spice wars, men of war 2, broken arrow

I only clicked on this video because 3:33:33

I got this on console last year (yes I regret that) never finished the dynamic campaign as playing the same ~5 maps every time was boring, especially with how many batlles would happen

CoH 3 is still not finished in my opinion. The game is still using placeholder icons from CoH 2, the sound design is way worse than both of the CoH games, so are animations. Lots of other issues with balance etc, but they ruined the recipe.

What's up with the terran command center from StarCraft on the screen @ 20:18

Maybe they could learn from this game's mistakes and make Dawn of War 4

Starcraft really needed real scale, and maybe simulated projectiles next? (That can hit obstacles instead of all of them being homing missiles.) Could be a good idea for Starcraft 3

I think it would be cool to see Relic do a Korean War or even Vietnam game. The scale they're going for, roughly company-sized units (whoa, weird) facing off, would be perfect for Vietnam. Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention the North Africa campaign. In my opinion, that was the highlight of the game, which is sad considering how short it is.

The community made maps/missions are way better than the ones that came with the game and the dlc.

I really hope this video has done well bc this is actually a massively thought out video beyond the focus on the actual gameplay he has to describe going on.

Ahh, I am not the only one with Dog issues. Good to know.

What a cool ass video. I love the way you explain and review essentially every mechanic and unit in the game through the narrative of going through the missions. Also i totally get why Rexxar's adventure only gets about a minute of the video. Its long as hell, its not really relevant, and the video is already huge. But man, I'd love to see something on that at some point. I think its fascinating to see all thr proto-WoW stuff, the quests, the way they reuse enemies and creeps to make special enemies with sizing and coloring and mixing abilities. Theres some really interesting mechanics throughout, and i love the scale, starting as a random guy in the desert, playing detective about the human attacks. Then gathering different forces together through different missions before the final all out assault on Jaina's dad. Also the choice to just play the final cutscene in full, chefs kiss

Illidans crime was in the manual, I read it several times. Well the one he gets imprisoned for.

gaming DLC and "early access" killed gaming in general. personally f*** relic and blizzard, greedy mfers

Pretty sad reading the comments from losers here who don't know how to block ads in 2024 yet lol

why would "real scale" only have like a 4 meter range on a marine's gun

Love this age of game so much i stil hope for a remake

Release this game for XBOX game pass already pleeaassseeeeee!!!

The Warcraft CK3 mod is amazing.

lot of people were also not fond of the "cartoonish" esque graphics and the pg tier voicelines

How do you manage to release a game and make it worse than the literally half-finished CoH 2 from 10 years ago?

The yamato gun is marked with a ¥.

I thought their was an Axis Campaign?

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Before i continiue past 4:20. Didnt they do that in coh 2, i dont remember it right
