Try Men at War. It's CoH without the lego feel.

WiC loses its novelty fast. With only a few maps and not to much in the department of strategy going on with most games its one of those hit it and quit it types. Atleast it was for me.

Edit: When I say strategy its mostly Teams who play all the time beatin on a bunch of pugs.

It was fun for a few hours, but IMO it has no staying power as a game. Sins is a much better purchase.

That being said, its a bit of fun, but rarely do you get to pull a nuke off in a decent match. Let alone a triple nuke. Its haaard.

If you do go ahead, PM me and I might install it and have a game with you. (I bought at release)

Lego? Why? Really, why? I always thought CoH was quite realistic, save for the slightly more masculine than average somatypes the soldier models had.

Personally I found the environments to be a bit too fragile, kinda like trying to hide behind a lego building, with bricks flying off at every moment, which added to the urgency a bit too much. Men of War allows for bursts of action with some welcome moments in between when you can have a look at your surroundings and make a plan of action instead of having to rush ahead because the structure you're hiding behind is about to collapse...

I mean a blown up tank is a fairly solid defense against bullets...

Plus, you get Direct Control mode, where you can control an individual soldier with pinpoint accuracy.

Men of War I'd played at a friend's place and it's haaard! I couldn't get past the first level even.

Out of CoH and WiC, CoH is longer, but I found WiC a lot more interesting.....for one it seemed to move faster, gameplay-wise, and playing online was fun.....though I didn't play it for long.

so basically if i immensly enjoyed CoH id like WiC?

I dont know, I love CoH and play it all the time, if it ever freaking installs... But WiC I only played for a few hours max.

I played the WiC MP demo and wasn't moved. It's part of the recent trend to shrink RTS' and the amount of units you command, while giving you special powers to use. Some are ridiculous- I remember that you have to specifically order Heli's to shoot rockets.

I was a little bit cool to CoH (it was alright, not wonderful in my opinion), but I loved WiC. I still play it, and the multiplayer is still fun. The storyline is a one time playthrough, that much is true, but the MP is what the game is about - and it works well.

No, they fire guns and missiles on the ordinary attack command (which do work on tanks). If you want the heavies to fire Hellfire missiles, on the other hand, you do have to order them to (since it is a special ability and Hellfires are very powerful).
