theres a few other bells and whistles but the main content is just one more army. they just offered 2 new armies for 20 a few months ago and i think that's charging too much for a band-aid on their lovely rear end broken game

is this game and its representation of Russian/Soviets illegal in Russia?

If it isnt, it should be

Heh heh, man gave myself a chuckle-ulcer from that one.

There was that bigass series of complaints from Russia about the Soviets being portrayed in a bad light in a bad game's campaign. It was banned from stores, or at least not sold in protest or some such bullshit.

The game itself is still pretty broken apparently. And $40 for a new army is just loving retarded.

Frankly it's not enough, IMHO. We should be honoured that they would allow us to field green doughboys into battle, leading them to a devastating victory against elite SS troops wielding 88s and MG42s.

CoH1 was actually really good, although the OF armies (well, at least the british) are bad.

I really don't like CoH2 though, it's a mess with stupid poo poo such as AT guns beating infantry squads and free to play mechanics.

CoH2 multiplayer as allies: if you don't win in 15-20 minutes you have already lost because they are calling in their I WIN tanks

oh yeah, the allies also have to do way more micro than germany to win so good loving luck dealing with that while every balance patch keeps torpedoing allies because some axis player managed to lose his king tiger to a really stupid mistake

That's what I liked about the first one though? It felt like saving private Ryan the video game.

CoH1 was also designed by competent people who actually made some good decisions to keep both factions viable thru the whole battle

wouldn't a more lucrative business model be to charge their players forty bucks for an ustashe army that lets players hack serbs apart with agricultural tools

They make up a significant portion of every multiplayer game set in World War 2, to be quite honest.

i had 16gb of RAM and Soulstorm requires 128mb but it managed to hit the 32bit limit from a memory leak and explode. and it always does that. no matter what.
