Good for a lark! I think I only played through the campaign once, though the DLC normandy campaign design is better than the launch one, though it's Russian infuriating narrative is awesome. I find it hard to go back to COH, COH2 has some quality of life stuff that is real nice.
But I will forever be disappointed that they rested on their laurels and gave us more of the same instead of pushing the anachronistic, tepid genre forward like they did with that first game, where they pretty much rebuilt the genre from scratch.
Hopefully the third game, if it happens, will get us to the next level. Something on the scale and detail of MOWAS2 of even TA but with Relic polish and UI would be amazing. Did not like DOW3. Too much going on with too few tools to deal with it.
COH2 felt like an incomplete game and looked like it was geared towards microtransactions so heavily that it pissed me off.
I bought a while back some game of the year package and it *still* didn't unlock all of the DLC campaigns, which *really* pissed me off.
I have their battle of the bulge campaign and was enjoying the hell out of that until I got to a mission that I literally could not win. Within 3 minutes of starting the mission I'm swamped by a dozen tanks and a bajillion dudes. I'm still waiting for the research on my bazooka to finish. Literally impossible to win.
I quit and haven't gone back since I'm assuming that the rest of the game will just cheat that way.
