Company of Heroes vs Starcraft

Which RTS do you prefer?

Does Starcraft's infantry take cover?

Company of Heroes then!

i cant believe you are comparing two games that are like 9 years apart, just imagine what CoH would have been like if it was released in 1998...

i love both games, but they are completely differnet, although starcrafts all time greatness tops CoH simply because its so old and is still one of the most played RTS's online...

I think that just that fact that you're comparing a 10 yrs old game to CoH shows how well SC stood the test of time and how great of a game it still is. My vote goes to SC, the grandaddy of awsomeness in RTS games (no, not WarCraft II).Hoi-Yant

WTF guys, Starcraft sucks. sure it was great in the 80's but by todays standards it sucks real hard. with company of heroes you get engaging gameplay that requires skill but is also varied and interesting. the only thing you get with starcraft is a great nostalgic moment before you start up the game and decide if you are gunna carrier spam or zerg rush. the same two strategies everyone has used for the last 21 years. awag123

As it stands, being kind of pissed off by balancing issues in COH, Starcraft got it pretty much down pat. But at the end of the day, COH battles are still the most satisfying.

Different gameplay.

Make the call between Dawn of War 2 and COH. They are kind of similar.

Starcraft was released in March the 31st, 1998 (11 years, 5 months and 5 days ago), and what you are talking about are strategies that work well only on what gamers are used to call "noobs". Plus, for some unknown reasons, Company of Heroes' online is (by far) less populated than Starcraft's B.net, and we also have to consider the amount of gamers playing on LAN emulators (and that's a lot), and the Koreans playing on national network.

No other game managed to balance flawlessly three races with completely different plays.tyle mechanics and a very fast paced action, a skyshattering single-player campaign that makes modern games' single player (in general, not only RTSs) pale shyly in comparison, and a so simple editor that works so well (there are maps that can last you longer than most of the games out at this time, and they were FREE) with so many different genres (Battlecrafts, Tower Defenses, LotR & LotR-style, Madnesses, Ranchers, Evolves, Unit Defenses, RPGs, Snipers, Survivals, Offenses, I could go on but you get the point), and can last so long without getting repetitive (I clocked over 12,000 hours on it).

I plan to get CoH as soon as I manage to. But no matter how hard I try, in my spoiled and biased brains Starcraft laughs at the competition. And I hope SC2 will do even better with the editor it has.

Bumped thread is older than my grandpa.

Kind of similiar? CoH is practically just a WWII mod for DoW

I was more stunned by reading the "carrier spam or zerg rush" part :lol:

StarCraft.
