New features like Full Tactical Pause offer gamepad players a level of tactical control over the pacing on the battlefield. Furthermore, the user interface has been adapted for gamepads to ensure a fun and immersive experience for all. Console players can expect a custom UI, full controller support, and special features that allow them to play at their own pace. CoH2 is stripped in that regard, and commanders add a bit of flavor, not really define a play style(That's why I loved Mechanized Assault).For the very first time, Relic Entertainment is bringing its universally lauded Company of Heroes franchise to console players, offering fans around the world the deepest strategic experience yet.

Then, add in commanders and you have a ton of options. There were a lot of units with plenty of utility. The only things I miss about CoH1 is how much stuff each army had. There was also some really cheese tactics such as invincible gren producing bunkers and flame pio spam. CoH1 the game was pretty much over after a certain point. In CoH2 you always stand a chance in coming back, even if it's very slight. If Wermacht got to vetted grenadiers you basically lost the game. 75% of the british army was worthless, Panzer Elite felt really uninspired. You can still perform it in this game with certain vehicles, but it is no where near as bad.īalance is suggestive, I prefer CoH2 more. Don't forget jeep and bike pushing, man that was lame.

Add in the fact the unit AI loves to jump out of cover, you get a game that just feels akward. Strange hotkeys, reinforcing one at a time, no fence hopping. There are some small things that start to add up to how clunky it is. I went back and played CoH1 recently and I was kind of surprised at how much I looked at it through nostalgia glasses.
