LOL??

If you don't like it, play starcraft, CnC or literally every(!!!!!!) other RTS there is out there

The only map I usually veto everytime is Minsk Pocket.

I don't get why so many people love this map. The northern spawn has an absolutely stupid cutoff on the left after the remake.

But the worst thing on the map is the collection of small trees and bushes that block every kind of vision for any MG or PaK. As Ostheer and Soviets, with only facing AT (no turrets or Paks), this map is literally hell.

Don't want to be offended, but it seems like you somehow misunderstand the usage of an OST with a regular album of a musician.
I assume that because of how often you wrote "Bad ambient song", "Another ambient song", etc.

First thing, an ambient song would be something where you only heard the wind, birds, etc. Second, only because something is "slow" and "atmospheric", doesn't mean it is automatically bad. For example the tracks where there is a lot of choir and marching music is something I personally do absolutely not like while you seem to enjoy it. That is not bad, only a point of taste.

But for example the track "Shattered" which I mentioned before is something you called "Another 3 minutes of build up song". I just don't know what you expect after the "build up". Some kind of euphoric Russian choir? Some orchestra? I think the track itself is perfect as it is.

vCoH was about the soldiers on the Western Front, a "Company of Heroes" - Much more connected to a specific company with a few soldiers, just like Easy company from Band of Brothers (which was also the main inspiration for the whole game). CoH2 is about a much bigger topic, not a small company but the whole Eastern Front in WW2 while Operation Barbarossa. While vCoH covered heroism and stuff, CoH2 covers the agony, fear and death seen from both sides in the time between 41 and 44. Were every soldier was more dead than alive and thus I think the "calmer" majority of the soundtrack is very fitting, because the war was not about storming areas but about waiting to die most of the time.

I accept your personal opinion but I think saying that the CoH2 OST is way worse is kind of unfair as both games have a way different atmosphere.

While we are at realism of explosions: What I always found funny in video games is how granades work there. Compared to throwing range of about 30 meters, real ww2 granade death range (aoe near) is between 5-15 meters and safe range (aoe far) is around 100 meters. Yes, over 3 times the throwing range if you have no cover. Imagine that in coh2

Additionally Elefants, Jagdtigers and ISU152 could simply stay in base and snipe every other tank on the map.

There is absolutely no doubt that CoH2 and vCoH had great soundtracks.

It sounds stupid, but CoH2's "Epitaph" and vCoH's "Shattered" (especially when the female chorus starts) are the two songs I would use if somebody asked me how a movie about the Holocaust should be Orchestrated.

Scary, very moving and emotional. Truly masterpieces.

CoH2: Epitaph



vCoH: Shattered
