COH vs WIC?

[QUOTE="Rattlesnake_8"]better visualsbignice12

I disagree, have you seen a nuke go off in WIC?

Yup i have. Have you seen a massive battle in COH involved infantry and tanks.. infantry hiding behind a low wall to have a tank shell rip through it sending body party flying. See a Stuka rocket barrage lay waste or a Hummel send in it's shells and see the devastation it cases to the troops and environment in its way..

CoH is propably the best conventional RTS game.A little bit of everything,in the proper amounts.Very complete gameplay and very good visual result.WiC is a bit different though.It`s a RTT game(no resources) with an online teamplay orientation and amazing visual result.The whole campaign is actually a tutorial.For the RTS genre fanatic the comprison is of no point.The others must decide whether they want resources or no,and also whether they prefer massive and fast multiplayer battles(WiC) over (usually) longer, more micro-strategic MPskirmishes(CoH).Personally I enjoyed them both very much,SP and MP alike.If I had to choose one I would pick WiC for the simplicity and the graphics.

2:1 vote result, lol...

I played the WIC demo and while it looked great, it just didn't grab me enough to purchase it. COH on the other hand is a game I've been playing and enjoying for years. I've replayed it several times and have to say it's one of my favorite games. I can't wait for the new expansion!

I may purchase WIC someday on the cheap

You people are all crazy!!!!!!!

WiC is the better game, but admittedly not by much.

Anyone who says that the MP is NOT the main attraction in WiC obviously hasn't played the game. I played the SP for 3 days, had fun, played solo skirmishes against the AI for about a week, then moved into online and have been playing for over a year now.

It's probably the best online startegy game on the market, hands down. Company of heroes feels too limited in its scope. The game can't be played from more then 30 or so meters in the air. In WiC, you can zoom out to more about 300 meters, so you can get a good idea of what's going on with the battlefield. Also, at any one point there is a bunch more going on in a game of WiC. And once you know where to focus, you can zoom back down to earth and marvel as wonderfully detailed models fight in beautifully imagined combat.

The special ability in CoH where a plane flies through the sky and shoots with its machine guns is pathetic compared to WiC, where anything from a fighter jet to a stretegic bomber can roar overhead and smash the earth with missles and bombs. The best part is that while it all looks amazing, better than CoH no doubt, it's actually an integral aspect of gameplay - not just some auxiliary move you can do every once in a while to show off. Indeed Tactical Aid strikes are as much a part of the battle as the treads and boots of the men slogging it out on the ground.

The fact of the matter is that WiC is a game with the same intimate tactics of CoH recreated on a grand scale. With more units and diversity. End of story.

See a battalion of tanks wade through a heavy artillery barrage firing at targets along the way. See a helicopter dodge a missle only to get hit on its second pass, and watch as it falls through the sky, bellowing smoke, and witness it crash into a power line bringing down the metal station holding it up. See a laser guided bomb slam into a suburban home, sending debris and smoke everywhere. See the magnificance of a column of fire and smoke rising up miles into the sky and zoom in to appreciate the destruction it wrought.

CoH has better graphics? rrrrrrriiiiiiiiggggghhhhtttttt....... :roll:
