  Yikes. This has the bare bones of a good game, but it feels more like early access than a finished product. The score is incredible; definitely a candidate for best soundtrack. The addition of the campaign map is nice, but the unit animations are still rough around the edges. I'm seeing units low-crawling at super-speed, commanders doing the funky chicken in their tank turret, C-47 Skytrains defying the laws of physics, and tanks being hit in the front while reporting hits in the rear. I understand this may all sound over-critical, but with the pedigree of this franchise, for the budget this project had, and for the amount of money dumped into advertising it I expected something at least on par with CoH2. I want a functional product; not CoH3 branded 5.11 gear. I'd wait for a few bug passes before picking this up; especially at this price point.

  These are just my first impressions. I've played both CoH1 and over 2000 hours in CoH2. My first RTS I've ever played was Warcraft 2. Graphics: 7/10 - Good There's something still weird about the graphic art style, but it doesn't bother me that much. It does need some work and fine-tuning though. Audio: 5/10 - OK The audio is underwhelming. I know it's supposed to be more realistic but it doesn't sound as beefy like CoH1-2 audio. Gameplay: 9/10 - Great It's the same gameplay I love with a lot of quality of life improvements such as rebinding the horrid arrow keys to WSAD. I appreciate the strategic aspect and decisions of the campaign too. Story: 6/10 - Decent so far The Italian front is an often overlooked part of WW2 so the new setting is welcome. While I don't like how the story is told (so far), it's serviceable. Starcraft 2 has a much better story with better cutscenes and storytelling. This game looks really indie by comparison. Content - 8/10 Very good There's a lot more content starting out in this game compared to how CoH2 started out. CoH2 started with 2 factions with an underwhelming campaign. It took a while for them to add the Theater of War missions and Ardennes Assault campaigns, which are the real treat. I appreciate that this game starts out with 4 factions that have a large variety of units and has 2 better campaigns. Overall: 7/10 Good I can understand where the negativity is coming from. This game feels unpolished and cheap compared to the last entries, but I also feel as if people are judging this game too harshly off of how finished CoH2 is now and forgetting that CoH2 was really, really barebones when it was released. 2 factions, 1 bad campaign that I still haven't finished to this day, and bad skins on units. This game has a long road ahead of it and a lot of potential. Assuming Relic supports it, it should be worth it in the long run. Is it worth $60? No, unless you don't care about the audio. It's worth more like $40-45 in its current state. Because I had more positive things to say about the game and can see the potential of it, I guess I'll give it a thumbs up.

  Can I ASK why in the "F" do developers force us to a zoom level like this game.... one would think, with all of the tech, that gamer 's would like to see what is actually going on instead of guessing or looking at a weird map with icons on it..... what is it with zoom levels? Please create a level of zoom that allows us SOME field tactical intel. geez its not that much to ask with all the things you want to do ,,,,I just want to be able to see if from at least a chinese balloon level

  What a shell of a game. While it has some nice additions like towing, it feels like an early beta. UI is absolutely horrendous and had 0 effort clearly. No progression system like COH2 yet things like profile banners, icons, and skins for your infantry/vehicles are in place while the store is currently grayed out...we all know what's coming. Mtx :). All factions feel more or less the same while COH2 felt like who I chose really changed how I played. I have lost faith in Relic. I loved COH2 and they go and release this after 10+ years. What a joke. Edit: I also wanted to address the accessibility options here. They only have 2 which is for subtitles. No ability to scale the UI/text otherwise for example. This is an issue especially being an RTS. You also have to download a mod that the community had to make because they thought it would be a good idea to be stuck zoomed in fairly close to the map.

  Takes a lot of balls to release a game in this state when your last game was DoW3

  As a CoH veteran from years ago I must say I am really disappointed in this. The overall production quality is very mediocre. The art is bland and cartoon-ish. The sound is weak and un-immersive. The game is zoomed in so much and you can't zoom out (despite hundreds of community members requesting it). The lobby is a joke (you can't even host a comp stomp and label it as such, and no chat in lobbies). AI pathing is broken. Balance is pre-alpha. Unit abilities do not compliment each other or feel well thought out. Everything just feels rushed. It's like they just made a really bad console port of the original game, except the original game was in better shape. I WANT to love this. It's a real shame. My recommendation is to wait another 6 months to a year and hope they fix this rushed beta of a console port.

  Recommended with caveats. The unfortunate reality is that Company of Heroes 3 is not in a finished state. It's a large, ambitious game -- four starting factions, two campaigns, including a vast "dynamic" Italian campaign in an entirely new style for Relic, battlegroups that bring international allies to the core factions, and overall more abilities, units, effects and interactions than any launch product in series history. The cost of that ambition is a launch with unfinished assets, bugs, balance issues, and design flaws. I recommend the game because you can pick it up and have fun today. Since launch I've been playing the campaigns, skirmish, and multiplayer, and having a blast. This is an intricate, nail-biting strategy game that can turn on a dime. It can be a laugh riot in a group or a brain-burning duel in 1v1. If you're willing to play a game as it finds its footing, you'll find a very entertaining RTS here right now. If you'd prefer a more stable, polished release, check back in a few months.

  Game's new features: - elevation advantage - auto vaulting over fences - auto reinforce button at HQ - towing of weapons (tho really poor pathing and setup time. better just to actually move the ATG regularly) Game's missing features: - changing mouse edge panning speed - ability to veto a map - many hotkeys and settings are in the interface but do not work - legacy/classic hotkeys (currently no way to go back to classic hotkeys in coh2, so all that hardwiring people had learned for coh previously is gone and for the worse) - in game replay system - in game rank system - in game spectate system - post-game statistics with any sort of accuracy (cant keep track of how many squads you built) - surrender button (there is still a hole near the minimap where it supposed to be) - crushing infantry with vehicles - ability to zoom out - camera locations Features that have been changed from previous titles: - tac map (worse in every way) - red cover removed (replaced with elevation advantage) - infantry engagements are slower and less lethal. - unique colors are confusing and you can end up being red - cannot distinguish who controls a unit by simply clicking on the unit because all the information is missing on the bottom hud. everything is hidden and requires you to scroll over them to see how many kills for example. - vet system is there but seems less impactful than previous games - shift+number feature in coh2 does not exist - control clicking feature in coh2 does not exist - you can accidentally select retreating infantry and be unable to issue command - selected tanks and infantry have different command priority than previous title, thus requiring many more actions to do the same task. - unit focus fire while moving and auto attack priority is different - all weapon team AI have been significantly nerfed to where you have to baby sit them to make sure they are doing what you want them to, and even then they still will resetup in the exact same place to target something already in their arc. - arc of weapon teams are a lot less detailed and there are less dots showing where the end of a weapon's arc is. - engine damage from at grenade and satchels require a lot more damage - you cannot repair your hq - units that you expect to have abilities, or win at certain distances because of their weapons are all different and you have to relearn what wins where Additional things that I believe are weak: - the sound in general is worse than poor, weapons do not sound like you would expect them too and many sound like they have some awful echo to them - the announcer cannot be turned off and is really annoying to me. he will constantly tell you to do things that you may not necessarily want to do at that moment. they make you sound like you are losing stuff when you arent. - the squads all sound really annoying like they are constantly shouting the exact same line over and over in your ears ( with the announcer telling you to spend your CP it becomes really annoying) - shift clicking barely even works - pathing is horrible in this game - breaching is a pathetic feature, and once you initiate it you cannot stop. towing does this too. - allowing the players to see what the enemy's commander is by clicking a button - skill plane 1 clicking is back in a big way, and its even bugged to where it doesnt disappear sometimes Game's balance is like if you took all the bad things Coh2 had and brought them back on purpose but made them even worse. All-together this game is not something I would recommend for someone else that I know. I feel it is not a completed product, and should not have been released in the state that it is in.

  Company of Heroes is probably one of my favorite franchises out there. I've been playing it since 2006 (old man alert). I gleefully pre-ordered CoH3 for $80. How could it be bad? CoH and CoH2 were basically masterpieces (tho CoH2 had some issues at launch). And Relic in general; remember Homeworld? Homeworld 2? Dawn of War 1 and 2??? This is definitely a studio that produces masterpiece games. Frankly I'm stunned. I can't believe how they massacred this. I'm confused and saddened at how bad this game is. It looks like an iPhone game (genuinely, I think CoH2, a 10 year old game, looks better), and the cinematic and bombastic sound design is gone. There are larger problems, like lack of replay, and numerous bugs... but they even got the small things wrong. Why are enemies showing up as friendly colors? Why do light vehicles have heavy tank icons? Why oh WHY is the voice-over guy harassing me about what I should do with my resources? The campaign, which in previous CoH games have been stellar, is pretty boring. The campaign map gimmick just feels like a poor imitation of a Total War game. And the characters feel like cartoons, instead of human beings trapped in history's deadliest war. I've decided to return the game. I figure I'll give it a couple years, watch the reviews, and maybe try it again if it goes on a deep, deep sale.

  As a CoH veteran, with over 4000 hours across the titles on Steam, and hundreds more on the original CoH/CoH Online, I am advising you to avoid this game. Sega's acquisition of Relic almost destroyed CoH 2, launching with buggy code, limited gameplay options, and an esport focus. It was only after a year of fan pushback that the game was saved, made playable, and made generally enjoyable. With the development of CoH 3, Relic doubled down on their 'community involvement', and had done a fantastic job of hyping up this game, selling us on aspects like major mod-abilty, and all new game mechanics. Then it released. -Unfinished content -Game breaking bugs. -(arguably) The worst ingame Ai of the series -Content unashamedly ripped from CoH 1 &2 and pasted in jarringly -A weird departure from long established game controls -A base building system that makes Halo Wars' seem like a better idea. -Limited maps, with limited replay factor -A modding system so locked down it makes CoH 2 look open source (with the general consensus that this is to prevent modders adding content they wish to sell us in battlegroups later) And to show that they have been thoroughly corrupted by Sega, the first real update and bug fix comes wholesale with a predatory ingame real money cosmetic system, which is a far cry from the way it worked in CoH2. On top of the £50/70 asking price. Don't get me wrong, the game introduces some really nice new features (new to the franchise at least), and can be fun to play - just not for long sessions or even daily. Come back in 3-4 years, and pick up the 'complete' edition during a Steam Sale - maybe by then it will be worth the price you pay. Rest in Peace Relic.
