The engine has been tweaked with some very cool effects – I really like the weather (the lightning flashes look beautiful, as do the rain splashes) and there are new heat distortion effects (watch a flamethrower or a vehicle exploding in slow motion). Compounding the balance issue is the fact that Both the Panzer Elite and British play far differently than the original armies.įinally, there is the graphics issue. PE players tend to spam Marders (think StuG but much faster speed/rotation and better main gun). In particular, Allied players tend to go American Ranger/British Arty spam, which gets old fast (at least, if you're playing Axis). In terms of balance, the original rock-paper-scissors of CoH has shifted to more of a rock-rock-gun approach. I have crashed to desktop upwards of 4 times in the past week, multiplayer games often freeze, and multiplayer matches are not currently ranked. The game also has some severe bugs and balance issues. Opposing Fronts is now locked-down, requiring online login for single-player and even LAN play. In addition, you could do LAN games w/ just one copy of the game. The original CoH took the bold step of allowing play without the CD in the drive (which was great). For starters, Relic's new authentication scheme is really disappointing. I've had this game since release, and have a few thoughts.
