Too slow for a RTS game imo

I love RTS games and really missed Warcraft recently so I started to get into some games I missed out before. CoH is praised as one of the best RTS games, but in my book, it's hardly real time at all. As someone who played wc3, sc2 or aoe 2 a lot, this game is waaaaaaaaay too slow for me. I guess it's very tactical and certain players like this, but I get bored and impatient super quickly. I play RTS to get the feeling I am doing a lot and am being very active, CoH gives me the opposite feel. It's a chill game to drink/smoke to probably.

One more thing: You can't control single units. You always control one squad, which means you can't precisely move single units which feels terrible, especially because you are required to interact with the terrain a lot. At first I thought: this is crazy, how could they do this! But if it works, well... In the end, I have to say that it still feels bad somewhat.

Inovador, Company of Heroes é um dos melhores RTS de sempre
This review is for the PC (Microsoft Windows) version

Se você gosta de RTS, e aproveitou os melhores momentos do gênero com Age of Empires II e Age of Mythology, esse jogo é para você.

Company of Heroes redefiniu o gênero, trazendo mecânicas bem diferenciadas dos jogos padrões, o que lhe rendeu alguns títulos como jogo do ano. O foco aqui é o controle de áreas e não simplesmente a coleta de recursos. Isso fez com que CoH se tornasse um jogo não só de estratégia, mas também tático.

Isso sem contar a ambientação, um caso raro nos RTS, já que em regra eles se passam em épocas antigas ou medievais, mas nunca na Segunda Guerra. A propósito, graças a ambientação incomum, as missões da campanha são únicas, é difícil comparar uma com outra; definitivamente elas não são repetitivas, o que agrada e prende o jogador do início ao fim.

A física do jogo (mesma responsável por Half-Life 2) dá um tom mais real, transportando-nos ao cenário apocalíptico de uma guerra.

Recomendo.

Four campaign missions in and I am not terribly invested in the gameplay.

The production value, particularly considering its from 2006 is amazing, sound, artwork, destructible terrain, destroyed vehicles remaining and creating new cover, all amazing.

But so far I have found the actual strategic choices and gameplay bland. The base building (at least up to this point of the campaign), if a bit nonexistent, and the units I have used so far don't really have a ton of variety in how to use them.

I like the command abilities and wish there was more choice behind which paths to take.

I also think the general play loop of needing territory to produce resources, but then needing more manpower to protect that territory, is something that doesn't click as well for me. I prefer something like Ages of Empires, where I can just build more workers and find resources to mine. I remember having similar struggles with Dawn of War which this is based off of.
