Yes, and?
>>343186004
he wants you to buy his game
>>343185493
>http://store.steampowered.com/app/17480/
NO!
>>343186071
I bought it like two years ago though.
>>343185493
I wish there were people to MP with online.
For SP I have Yuriko's Revenge.
>>343186360
Hold the fuck up. there was a WW1 Company of heroes?
>>343186629
It's a mod, long abandoned now. British and Germans. It's on Steam.
It has it's problems, but it's pretty playable. One bug I've found is that after quitting the game you have to delete and reinstall it each subsequent time you want to play again. Give it a go.
>>343186629
Most likely a mod.
I remember one made long time ago.
>>343186853
I wish it had features of CoH2.
Smoke worked like random shit in CoH1.
>>343186957
It doesn't work great in this either. I've found AI games tend to become tank grindfests quite rapidly too.
I don't understand why /v/ shits on COH2, it's better in every aspect to CoH1.
>>343187580
>AI games
Who the hell plays those.
And Titanium trees existed in 1 too, often killed mortar operators.
>>343187580
Did you actually play CoH1, or did you just read a list of new features in CoH2 on the website?
>>343187580
I can't take CoH 2 serious, the fucking tank grenades are just ridiculous. The Basebuilding shady, the tech trees non existent.
It's like they tried to improve five things while making the rest way worse
Blitzkrieg mod best mod
Fuck, I really want to play MOW Assault Squad 2, is it really the best Men of War? I only played 2 of them so far, so...
>>343187783
I've played both quite extensively. I enjoy CoH2 much more than 1.
>>343187772
CoH2 has titanium lamp posts, My sturm tiger got cock blocked trying to wipe out his blob.
He must've been praising his lord ans savior well after the match.
>>343188098
i like MoWas2 with all the DLC and everything, then with Robz Realism mod. mind blowing experience.
i play CoH 2 when i feel like having fun with bullshit call-ins (Typhoons, Sturmtroopers) and arty handed to you on a silver platter.
the only thing that could make CoH 2 better would be desert campaigns and better use of airforce. the strafing shit is really underwhelming and the loitering is too short.
>>343187580
Except CoH2 is a $120 game if you want access to all the factions and generals. Fuck pay2win models.
>>343188181
I enjoy CoH2 more casually, it has some improvements no matter how small like vaulting line of sight, capping from minimap etc...
CoH1 had way more solid mechanics than 2 though. Too many abandonware commanders in 2. Relic can't balance for shit either they keep releasing broken shit.
In CoH2 flanking tanks from the side doesn't do scrap its the same as attacking front armour, you only get bonus damage for hitting the rear.
CoH1 had similar issues with balance as new factions were released but it was easier to resolve as each faction had only 3 doctrines to choose from with 2 trees to choose from instead of automagic unlock.
It becomes inherently obvious something is broken when you see a majority of players picking one faction in automatch for a long period of time.
Both CoH 1 and 2 suck as far as claustrophobic field of view is concerned, 2 more so than 1 because of the ridiculous range on some of the weapons.
>That rapid fire bug on USF tanks
>Everyone is fine with it, laughing and making new maymays
If German tanks could suddenly fire 500 panzer rounds a minute due to a bug, Relic's HQ would already be set on fire
>>343189735
The grind sucks but it's not that bad if you had played it for a long ass time.
I do agree however that their nickle and dime commander micro transaction model is horrendous, for fucks sake you pay for a full game and then you have to pay more for game breaking DLC?
Completely ruins any prospects of serious competition, I laugh every time I see them promoting it as an E-sports title with tournaments and such when their game is absolutely inundated with balance issues every time they decide to crap out a new commander or faction.
The game is fun though, so it must be doing something right.
>>343187969
This
I just bought the DLC for COH 1.
Also going to redownload Blitzkrieg mod.
This weekend is going to be a good one m8.
>>343189735
>he didn't buy it all for 10 bucks
kys
>>343190340
I saw that in a match, haven't played in a while so I thought it was some retarded ability that was added to the US faction. Not too far fetched seeing how completely and utterly blatantly broken britbongs were when they first came out.
remember the early ass wasp flamer with Mc LARGE HUGE damage
remember the brace without cooldown
remember the insane multiple squad wiping bofors and centurion AA damage
Fuck me man
CoH is always best after the first two factions are patched and balanced to appropriate levels, every new faction they add brings it down the shitter balance wise. Sometimes I think they purposefully make their new commanders and factions overpowered to entice people to buy them.
Color me surprised if that is the case.
>>343190364
It also makes the commanders sameish unlike COH1 where the trees were all differentthats why i play with a mod with all units unlocked and buildable, fuck that shit
>>343186495
It has about as much as FA.
Which Company of Heroes is the best lads
>>343187969
>Not Europe at War

>>343191956
>tfw they have to remove a bunch of shit from the battle of the bulge maps because someone from the botb mod team is butthurt about them using his models
>>343191956
Isn't EaW that shit where you can basically spamm off-map reinforcements for manpower only and win the battle? I remember someone doing a detailed review on it and got banned from reviewing and discussing the mod by the devs and later unbanned by Steam support because the devs abused the ban system?
Or am I mistaking it with another mod?
>>343192718
Took me a few minutes to find it:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Arashenstein/recommended/342370/
EaW is cancer for PVP and only good for compstomp
>>343192894
said nobody ever
>>343193172
Keep telling yourself that.
Not sure why would you defend EaW unless you're one of the dev's friends
>>343192894
>M26 pershing has been removed from the game and it is replaced with some sort of off map armored reinforcement
Unless i remember wrong, that depends of the map, doesnt it?
>>343186360
>no Age of Mythology
>>343193929
>He wants "extended" edition
>>343193484
becauseI've actually played it
what you said actually applies more to vanilla
>>343194245
>Dev's friend confirmed
>>343194430
>liking sapper rush
>>343191859
both are good, 1 is better
Any good RTS game that's not Age of empires,c&c or company of heroes on the steam sale?
Has anyone else played 8-bit Armies? I find it surprisinglyfun.
>>343191859
1 because of the blitzkrieg mod
Blitzkrieg feels more compstomp'y
Literally mass sherman spam everytimeBut now im playing MOW AS 2 for AI battles with Customizable skirmish mod.
>>343195484
planetary annihilation titans or the dawn of war games, rise of nations is also pretty good
>>343185493
>garbage
garbage
Age of empire 2 or 3 ???
>>343196645
AOE2 with the Age of Chivalry mo
Is deserts of Kharak any goood?
>>343196131
Is Titans actually worth getting?
It's like 5 bucks for me on steam
>>343197234
Titans is just fisher price Supreme Commander with space.
>>343197371
How no?
>>343196131
>>343197234
does Titans run well on a somewhat dated pc? (GTX 750ti)
>>343196645
AoE2 >>>>>>>>> AoE3
>>343197304
Is that a no?
Assuming I already have supcom, should I get it?
I never finished the campaign of RA3. Every year or so I reinstall, start from the beginning and give up in disgust due to the forced naval gimmick.
Am I missing out?
>>343197585
That's a no, sup-com still has a playerbase, PA doesn't.
>>343197507
I play it on a GTX 480 maxed out just fine. It's a good game, different enough from SupCom that they can coexist imo. The level of destruction you can cause with Titans and other super weapons is really entertaining.
>>343197474
Low player base and the main campaing is basically using the tank tanks to bait the enemy into your sniper tanks range
the difference between factions is minimal (1 or 2 units play differently) this includes the DLC factions btw
And personally i think the story in single player was a mistake
Is been a while since i played it
>>343186004
>>343186071
Buy his game
RTS with regular base building is so rare i'm tempted to get something for this sale,
are AoE games HD edition fine or just "HD" as in, more bugs and paying for fan patches?
>>343195604
>symmetrical factions
What is this, 1992?
>>343197609
Em. Naval units are quite old in C&C
>>343197609
>due to the forced naval gimmick
What the fuck?
Red Alert 3 was a mistake.
>>343195604
Petroshill get out.
Is that Microsoft RTS bundle good? It's got AoE2, AoE3, AoM, and RoN for $20. I've actually never really played any of those games, so I'm thinking of getting it.
>>343195604
Yeah it's pretty good.
The ai is literally unbeatable and so is the multilayer community.
>Get rushed by tanks and helos while I'm still busy building my first motor pool
>>343198224
Age of Mythology was pretty shitty, but AoE 2 was decent enough and it has some new expansions if care. I would suggest Grey Goo if don't mind mediocrity or the same old with newer graphics.
>>343197609
Actually naval units in 3 are far more fun and diverse than in 2.
Especially japs sub that turns into a plane.
>>343187580
>playing skirmish against the AI
>>343189735
They rolled out a new spoils system and basically everyone who played the game for some time had so many duplicates to transform into currency to be able to buy all commanders and still have some left over.
For vanilla factions stock commanders are the best anyway.
>>343190340
It's really amazing how relic can be so fucking incompetent.
>basically just copy paste balance changes from a fucking modder
>they somehow still fuck up and make the USF mortar have vet 3 bonuses at vet0 and the same range as a 120mm mortar
>volks lose their panzerfaust at vet 4
>the already mentioned combined arms bug
Jesus Christ.
>>343199440
>For vanilla factions stock commanders are the best anyway.
Maybe outside of OST.
Elite guy and Osttruppenman is just too good to pass up.
>>343199883
>>they somehow still fuck up and make the USF mortar have vet 3 bonuses at vet0 and the same range as a 120mm mortar
>>volks lose their panzerfaust at vet 4
They already fixed those but that Combined Arms shit is actually the effect of "fixing" other ""fix""
>>343199943
>using commanders that don't have the spotting scope upgrade that basically gives you a legit map hack when you put it on a vet 2 sdkfz. 222
It's like you don't like winning. I basically don't need anything other than grens, mg42s and a stug, I see fucking everything the enemy is doing.
>>343200143
The USF mortar still has ridiculous ROF and accuracy.
>>343198387
They've added a new faction and will be adding more.
>>343198705
Make me
>>343198765
The hard AI is difficult, but it's not unbeatable. Once you get used to a particular map you'll never lose on it against the AI. The multiplayer community is insane though.
>>343195604
It's shit and would definitely not recommend it.
The AI is shit.
The single player is just skirmish over and over again with no story.
The coop missions are just skirmish over and over again with no story.
Multiplayer is just 'who can spam build more of the best unit faster?'
Anyone here played Executive Assault?
http://store.steampowered.com/app/331500
How is it?
>>343185493
Do people still play online?
>>343195604
Playing it now. It's shallow but I find it a lot of fun. Still feels like it needs a ton of work. Guardians are complete trash.
>>343199883
Fuck German players
>>343198519
>>343198556
RA2 had naval units but you didn't have almost all maps being 75% water.
SELENDIS A CUTE!
A CUTE!
![header[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/1EUGbDR.jpg "header[1].jpg")
this game has ridiculously good looking cutscenes
so much time, effort and cash they should have spent on the gameplay instead
>>343203759
Actually, I'm primarily an allied player but shit was getting really ridiculous when 80 % of people were searching as allies.
who /FAF/ here?
>>343204098
RA3 added ground only maps later IIRC
Anyone playing Planetary Annihilation? Recently bought the Titans upgrade to play with a friend. Normal AI is retarded as fuck but I'm not good enough for PvP. Any tips? I like the game and I wanna get more into it
>>343185493
>that one British cunt that would do nothing but build bombers
commanders challenge was less challenge and more tedious cheese
