I'm just gonna type this out while waiting for the campaign map to unfreeze.

I am legitimately upset with how this game released. Relic, the studio that brought us the glorious CoH original, has fallen to whatever the hell this is. Yes, I shilled out for the $79.99 version. Yes, I had incredible hopes going into this game.

But what we got is... ♥♥♥♥, honestly. AT crews halfway out the back of a truck carrying a Flak 36, audio disappearing and reappearing when there's too much going on, as others have noted, incorrect shots being noted on tanks and vehicles, graphics that look like that toy soldiers game (I get it's the Mediterranean and thus ooo sun is bright), but it looks like a damn cartoon. At least the multiplayer is somewhat fun, even if the AI is more confused than a kid being sent to the store to buy "that blue package".

The Italian Campaign is disaster. Simply put. Heck, the game froze to the point I had to ctl atl dtl out to do anything. At least the skirmishes are fun, I guess. Haven't tried the North Africa one yet but I'm not holding my breath it'll be any better.

Point is, in it's current state, this game is not something I'd buy. Hopefully, with patches, it'll get better, but right now it has the feel of a game made by freshman developers for a project, while one of them was on the floor passed out, and the others just drank an entire bottle of fireball on a bet. If it improves, I'll come change my review, but it's not a good game right now.

The game still isn't the best, but, it's playable. Having gotten a few towns into the Italian Campaign, it has picked up a bit, and the AI does seem to be more aggressive, since every single of my battlegroups has been constantly attacked each turn. For the most part, the skirmishes/battles are fast, just rush the points and wait to see if the AI does anything or not (It's about 60/40). Have not tried the North Africa campaign still.

Multiplayer is still so far the outstanding part of this game, even with the incredible imbalance of units, and the British being... Bad, to put it lightly.
