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 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.
