Age of Empires III??? Why? That was a good game. Age of empires online is the one that sucks.

If you play CoH you might as well go play Dawn of War. It's practically the same thing with a different setting. And I'm talking from the opinion of somebody who plays a lot of strategy games. From that standpoint the mechanics of CoH are just plain dumb.

Me too. I've played MoW, CoH is more fun to me.

I'm sorry but even if its matter of taste, and some people may like it; CoH is a bad game. The mechanics of the game don't make sense. Hey lets run at this machine gun placement but don't worry, we won't die, we are bullet sponges. Hey a tank battle, lets watch the tanks just shoot at each other for ten minutes and take the same amount of damage from all sides; what the tanks just blow up? It's like what actually would happen...oh wait..This part isn't a really big deal but it makes more sense for units to be called off map rather than constructing building to recruit. Oh yeah, the part of about infantry being able to survive a tank shell is rather stupid as well. As far as I see it, CoH is just lazy game design. WW2 is not the same thing as Dawn of Wars setting so the game mechanics shouldn't be remotely close to DoW, beyond simple things like path finding and gui and what not, but the game plays like DoW with a WW2 skin. And I'm not saying a game should be as difficult as MoW can be but CoH is a little too easy, all you really have to do is wait at your capture points, build units, attack and then you win. Not really too much strategy in between. I'm not attacking you in any way, I know you said you liked MoW, I was just saying my opinion on the matter.

Well, you probably don't like the settings but the game mechanics are basically the same. All you have is MoW: Vietnam which isn't a good example because even for MoW, Vietnam is ridiculously more difficult and there is no competitive aspect to it. But if you have more fun with CoH then by all means have fun with it, I won't stop nor will I tell you it isn't a fun game.

"$80?

I'm seeing $59.99 and $99.99 for the standard and collectors respectively."

Yup. Eighty US dollars for the basic version. You are evidently lucky enough not to be paying Australia/New Zealand prices.

Here is an old thread about it. Weird how the CoH price is AU/NZ but the rest is American for me here in SEA.

Anyway, I do find this disturbing. CoH2 looks like its trying to be an MMO, and I don't think thats a good direction to take a full priced AAA RTS title to.
