DOW3 vs COH2
DOW3 vs COH2
I've been craving an RTS title for a while now. With the latest Steam user reviews and the growing criticism, I'm questioning whether $59 is a fair price for the game. I'm eager to end my recent FPS streak with something more strategic. What do you think would be the top choice at the moment? Anyone who played Warcraft 3 can share their thoughts. A bit of context: I used to play Warcraft 3 heavily and still check it out now.
My opinion here is solid. COH2 offers an excellent gaming experience, particularly for fans of the WWII setting. It's clear most people are aware of that. As for DoW 3, I don't have much to say about it. I really enjoy the original version and keep playing it, though I notice it seems a bit off from the look of DoW 3.
Avid COH fan here. played quite a bit of the original/blitzkrieg mod and the second. COH is what I would call "small" scale and detailed. You order a squad of riflemen, and they come onto the field. you command them to a point, and the map shows 5 dots of where they will stand, with red-yellow-green based on the level of cover. every click is important because its the difference between your squad getting wiped out or defeating a stronger unit. Then theres factors like mg supression, occupying buildings for advanced defense, leaving tracks in snow, and a slew of other really tiny details that make it a true war game. I tried DOW3 and have seen how starcraft, AOTS, and other RTS games of the sort play. its just order a mob of unit, put them here, and hope they win. It's a completely different type of "strategy" that I dont enjoy as much as COH's slower detailed gameplay.
