Company of Heroes or C&C 3 ?

[imported_Kemita]

So I would like to hear opinions from you all if possible. I've played C&C3 (the demo) and the skirmish you can play gives you a clear sign of what is the game going to be: Build AS FAST AS YOU CAN'T and send your units in masse to the front.

I must say that I loved C&C but more C&C Red Alert (****, even I had to go to France to buy this game becouse in Spain it wasn't going to be released for a long time).
Although most RTS ask you to use a bit of high click with your mouse to be effective, the series of C&C have taken a direction with C&C3 that would pass the name of "Click Fest".

Company of Heroes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XoZl2IdhiM in the other hand, it's all about planning and thinking, trying and re-trying every strategy becouse the game online is really easy to get in and play but a hella harder than any RTS up to date to master it. It has awesome phisics (sp?), graphics and detail of all kinds. But I see this game hasn't get much attention by the PC gamers that like RTS.


What are your opinions about C&C 3? Will you buy it no matter what or think there are far better RTS?

To be honest, after the release of SUPREME COMMANDER no RTS even dares to compare.

But restricted to those two choices, you should go by your personal preferences. I thoroughly enjoyed CoH and the demo of C&C3. However just like you, I am a little uncomfortable with C&C3s ultra-fast paced game mechanics. CoH is much slower, but it requires just as much, probably more, micromanagement because battles are slow enough for you to coordinate individual squads and tanks.

The SupCom engine is far better, that's what counts. It's designed to be 100% moddable, meaning that someone could almost recreate CoH for it.

Comapany of Heroes no competition.

CoH is a nice break from typical RTS games like StarCraft, AoE, C&C, DoW, Empire Earth, etc. It has more of a storyline feel instead of, "We're going to give you the same basic Base v. Base gameplay on this level, but this time you have 2 or 3 more units."
It reminds me of the Commando's series.

But generally the consensus is that SUPREME COMMANDER is the way to go. It's a whole new scale of gameplay, and if your computer can handle battles between several hundred units it's awesome.

Fixed that for you.

Going with the SUPREME COMMANDER comparison again. A good combined arms assault battlegroup of tanks, missiles, AAA, gunships, fighters, etc. usually numbers in the hundreds. There is no "nothing can stop my tiger tank." (Except for the crazy fun experimentals) It goes up to battle groups and battalions, not individual units and they're short term battle tactics.

My truly favorite part of SUPREME COMMANDER is that there is none of that C&C, CoH battle micromanagement nonsense. If you're a general, you do not worry if your Sherman is in optimal firing position or facing the right way to take a hit. You coordinate massive assaults on a massive scale. Battalions engage and destroy each other very well with zero user input. In my opinion, thats they way a Real Time Strategy game should be played. Up until now, pretty much all RTSs are not really strategy, its all tactical micromangement.

Exactly what I was thinking. At least Supreme Commander should do away with that "APM" bollocks.

But still, look at how everything in CoH is, from how when you get troops to move to a place they use real tactics, not just running there, and when their is an MG or a Bunker you use tactics like flank and not just full on suicidal charges.
