So I've been playing the COH 2 Beta recently and have really been loving it. The Russians have really been a breath of fresh air compared to the original which had Germans, different Germans, British, and Americans. The cold weather and blizzard mechanics have been really interesting to play in. I was worried it was going to be nothing more than a gimmick, but it does change the flow of battle when a blizzard kicks in.
My only real complaints are that the Germans still seem overpowered. That the German infantry is better than the Russians? Ok. That their armored cars still seem to kill everything in their path? Fine. But Stugs should not be able to nearly destroy a SU-85, and a T-34/85 before going down.
I really wanted to know how everyone else was feeling about the beta though. I know I've seen some people really upset that COH2 is too similar to COH. So how do you guys feel about the beta? Do you like the new mechanics? Do you prefer fighting AIs or people and what would you say your favorite small thing is? For example, mine is that when calling in a sniper or T-34, you get a random chance to get a female sniper or female tank crew member. I just thought that was a cool little thing they did.
I don't know what happened to the poll, but the top two options are
"It's amazing!"
"It's good"
