Players' Feedback

Game's StrengthsGame's Weaknesses
  • Long campaign (About 10 hours)
  • Eastern Front setting
  • Graphics look great
  • Great cutscenes
  • Challenging and intense missions
  • Multiplayer is still solid
  • Skirmish
  • Soundtrack is quite good
  • Snow system (Slow walk in deep snow and your units can even freeze to death)
  • Expansive collection of guns, grenades, armors, daggers, and other items
  • Toxic players
  • Some campaign missions are boring or not well executed
  • 3 Paid factions for multiplayer which are overpriced (13€ each)
  • Tutorial can be broken
  • Keybinds cannot be rebound
  • Limited gameplay compared to CoH1
  • Bad AI pathfinding
  • NPC AI is script-bound and defeats the realism
  • Cannot get all achievements (3 were available for only a few days in 2014 and have been unavailable since then)

The intention behind these pros & cons isn't to establish a balanced evaluation of the game, but rather to assist developers in identifying enhancement opportunities. The game's rating of 80.5% should be taken into account when assessing them.

Take into account that list was generated using AI on a small sample of Company of Heroes 2's Steam review data, it is not meant to be exhaustive. You don't always need to solve every issue. What some players hate might be what your fanbase loves.
