Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition

This game gets pretty intense after the first few missions, meaning: the enemy will relentlessly send infinite numbers of tanks and troops in your direction while you try to keep up with the pressure. your units will yell at you from several places at the same time, all requiring micromanagement. I guess that's realistic warfare, but it just doesn't feel like you're accomplishing anything despite working hard. Also, your tanks will move like idiots and willingly present their soft A$$ES to the enemy so they get shred to pieces. At the same time, the enemy tanks will attempt to show you their fronts so you have to circle them. Again, more micromanaging. After a few missions, I got slightly afraid of getting burnout+PTSD from this game, so I guess it's not for me. The narration in between the action is pretty good though. If you like constant adrenaline and stress, this might be your game.

No recomiendo comprar esta version del juego, compren la normal, esta bugueada esta version. Ahora con respecto al juego, es frustante la cantidad de micro innecesaria que hay que hacer, por ejemplo, un antitanque no girara y se defendera de un enemigo que le dispara, no se puede poner en fila que se despleguen nuevas unidades a medida que vas perdiendo otras, otro ejemplo, un peloton de ametralladora no girara en el sentido que el enemigo le ataca, no entiendo para que es esto. La microgestion me encanta y es muy buena, si te dan las herramientas, este juego no te las da, y lo que te quiere dar es muy pobre. La camara es tranquilamente una de las cosas que son mas molestas, yo puedo entender que en 2006 no se podia alejar mas por la cantidad de recursos que consumia alejar y cargar las texturas, pero las versiones de ahora podrian haberse tomado los minutos de modificarlo (ya que cobran una "legacy"). El hecho de no poder alejar mas la camara te jode todo. La mayoria de gente se queja de lo mismo, a partir de la mision 3 o 4 (de normandia) ya el juego se vuelve frustante, y es que el hecho de tener que controlar alrededor de 15 pelotones de forma completamente manual abruma a cualquiera, el principal caso es que uno captura un objetivo de recurso, plantea una defensa (1 peloton y unas minas ejemplo), va a capturar otra bandera mas adelante y ocurre que en el camino el enemigo te captura tu bandera porque tus defensas hay que indicarlo todo manualmente, si no, no hacen casi nada. Los edificios en el juego son una mecanica que pudo haber sido mejor, por ejemplo, no se puede ver que rango ni alcance tienen, uno coloca un peloton en un edificio y resulta que no "llegan" hasta donde uno piensa ni tampoco tienen rango. El limite de unidades desplegables es horrible, no entiendo porque tan bajo, incluso hablando historicamente cuando jugas con los aliados no podes tener mas pelotones o recursos que los del eje. Tampoco es justo que la IA siempre sepa donde estan mis pelotones. El juego no me parecio dificil, solo agotador con respecto a las carencias que mencione anteriormente, tal vez la IA te gana las primeras batallas, pero luego que la conoces y como responder ya esta. No lo recomiendo si esperas una experiencia casual.

(I've played the original version, before trying this one; it's basically the same game, minus Steam services for multiplayer) While I'm not the biggest fan of RTS games, I cannot deny that Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition was a very immersive experience for me. Diving into the WWII history, this is the original game that was unique in the battlefield aspect when most of the strategy games during the early to mid-2000s were Fantasy and Sci-fi. You play campaigns, and the mission itself vary based on which faction you start with (namely between Allies to Axis). There's also special Commander sections within the faction that you can choose to upgrade, and deploy (i.e Artillery, Engineer or Commandos for British) and your game-play itself varies on the faction and Section you selected at the start of the game. While progression does end up being more streamline, at least the experience will be different based on your faction and unit picked. Resources are generated passively as you progress in the campaign so you don't have to worry to much on that. The units themselves are fairly balanced as well, as they use the rock-paper-scissors mechanic with the units; you're guaranteed a good counter against a differing unit, but there will be a unit that counters yours. So you do need to plan out carefully, and early game how many, and of which units you can deploy. The graphics are what you'd expect for a top-down strategy game - it's the best AAA graphics you can get in the mid 2000s. Sounds and audio effects are there too, adding to the atmosphere and realism of the game. Overall, it's worth trying a classic RTS like Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition, especially if history and/or Strategy games are something that's up your alley.

Графика и музыка создают ощущение настоящей битвы. Если любите стратегические игры, это ваш выбор.

10/10 would bang... This game is amazing. Every ounce of detail poured into it is easily seen. This game was released in 2k6, and still plays and feels amazing. Steam even hosts the new servers, so this game isn't going down anytime soon.

in a world where RTS games were not only successful but dominant, CoH showed whats possible. You didn't need hundreds of units exploding and splashing blood on the screen. you didnt even need 20. In CoH, a couple squads of 5 guys each results in some of the most intense and tactical RTS gameplay you can find. Where starcraft and its imitators tried to expand mechanical skill, CoH kept its focus on tactical decisions and resource management. More than anything else, CoH understood how to be fun. Machine guns in any house, to be countered by flamethrowers and snipers, who are then countered by vehicles, who are countered by anti vehicle emplacements. really a wonderfully made game.

Over the years, & I'm talking since Co of Heroes came out, this has been my all time go-to game I can never get enough of.
