My top ten reasons why MoW is better than CoH

[martian1]

At least we can play coh online

Obviously we can play MoW online as well since there is several games running almost all the time. I suggest that you sit back, reinstall the game, then patch your game to 1.11.3 and then add the new 1.16.4 patch. By doing so, you can join every single game that is using the same patch.

Alot of guys have rated COH higher than MOW for graphics,but i with a faily decent PC system & card,am amazed at this conclusion as on my system MOW looks fantastic,& highly detailed,maybe you guys need a new system or card update or something,& the special effect's & realism are also fantastic,in a game as the japs the other night,i fired a shell from a Chi-Ri at a firefly's front armour,it deflected off & hit another firefly to the left & just behind it,damaging its track,with a lovely ping to it aswell,if thats not realism i dont know what is,& the sound of the explosions,on my 5.1 system is just amazing.

Where as what you get on COH is just to me average arcadey not terribly realistic graphics,& the sound of a rather annoying american general constantly going on at you to do this or do that or this is happening,i mean mate just shut up for 5 mins please.

My Opinion is:

COH wins over MoW because of it being much more enjoyable to play, not too much micromanagement, easier to get into, brilliant audio throughout, better campaign design, visually stunning.

Right that said, MoW is grand because:
The level of detail, customizable units, number of units, theatres and the visual component of the game in it own right, is ok.

With CoH I do feel like I've been had in the deal when you see the expanse that MoW is, but my points above certainly make up for it.

CoH will lose out as MoW expands, Relic haven't given us anything extra (except ToV, which was weak) for a while now.

These are my opinions

This is a one element of it's design. Don't play it if your not into the that style of a single player campaign, go back to MoW with the Russia equivalent of Cookie Monster telling you what to do...

But I'm going to get nailed to the MoW wall here because in the game forum world you can't like two games in the same genre at the same time

I think your right there,you either like arcade style games or you like more realistic,type of games,so its really personal choice,also with games like MOW you have to invest more time to play both with single & multiplayer games,where as COH is a game you can pick up have a quick uncomplemented game,then put it down again quite quickly.

I'm wanting to get into MoW but my first born child just won't allow any time for gaming.

Hints and Tips from me:
Complete all your games before having a child. Don't buy Empire total war...

A tear wells in my eye as these games are in my steam account but I've not got time to play them...

I enjoy both MoW and CoH.

I'm in the same situation. My precious son just turned 6 months, and started to sleep regularly after 9:00pm so then I have 2-3 hours for my war duties before my face hits the keyboard and snoring appears.

I prefer realism in games so CoH dissapointed me, MoW is actually my top wwII rts, despite of horrible iface and some smaller issues.

I totally loooove this game so much its like a ten times better then company of heroes
