I don't get one thing... We made such a big leap in terms of gaming and technology. From 1 core to 16 cores cpus, from 1mb to 24gb cards etc. Why are there still no games with good destruction, good gameplay with real improvements. World in Conflict was a beast, we had Tom Clancy's EndWar, Ground Control, Supreme Commander and many other games that still hold on pretty well. Why RTS games just frozen in one place, Total War series included.

coh1 had actual passionate devs

I can't believe CoH1 is nearly 20 years old. It was ahead of its time. Such an incredible game. They should have made a modern era themed game just like the modern combat mod.

Sounds and especially particles from CoH1 are much better. When firing at the ground, you have the dirt shooting up and raining down again with sounds of it hitting the ground. CoH3 has a little mushroom and some ground fog or whatever that's supposed to be and that's it. Really weird. I don't understand why they went with this Sims-esque artstyle.

It's just embarrassing when the effects and audio in a 17 year old game is better than a 2023 release. Apparently there are no talented people left at Relic.

The sound, man The sound in Coh1 and 2 are incredible. I remember my first experience with the Arti in Coh1, I was scared as shit. Coh3's sound doesn't feel right to me. It needs more BOOMs, and SHOCK

The terrain deformation in 3 looks more like the moon than a field after being blown to bits lol.

I personally think the artillery effects in COH 1 is still better. Its like you can feel its explosion upon impact when hitting a terrain.

Newer version may be realistic on visual but older one still has more realistic vibes

I miss the dev team b4 THQ got disbanded. Now, the CoH title feels just stagnant. Improvements feels like 'degradation', despite the upgrade in engine. From what I see in CoH3, idk if the team really trying at all, or just least experienced.

CoH3 needs a little more “oomph”

I think the initial upwards mass of dirt settles too quickly in COH3 which makes it feel a bit underwhelming. I do love the shockwave effect in COH3 though. I think if they made it so stuff disappears less quick in COH3 it would be an improvement.

It says alot that we're comparing a game made in 2006 to a game made in 2023

It's just unbelievable how COH1 is superior to its successors in aspects like graphics, sound and gameplay. Unfortunately, the focus in newer COH parts has not been placed on realism and optical details. People want to experience a realistic, historically accurate and detailed WW2 scenario in strategy game format. In my opinion, COH1 mods like the Blitzkrieg mod are one of the best developments, mainly because of the good sounds and optics. Future game developments should build on this.

5:37 just look at those bushes at the bottom lmao

COH 1 certainly wins in the audio compartment, the artillery is really beefy on the impact

0:55 That rocket actually repaired a part of the wall !

the coh1 explosions and sounds are so much better than coh3, i get they tried for more "realistic" approach but man i just want big booms and nice base sounds

I actually thing the soil being churned up into slowly settling dirt and debris is actually really neat. Though no one here would admit that.

Imagine being 17 (!!!) years older and still holding up. Same with other older games from different genres. Modern gaming is stagnating at best, i hope it will improve someday. There were no major improvements/revolutions in gaming since pretty much crysis from 2007.

Now i can see what is your disappointment

HOW is it possible that a game made over a decade ago still looks better than the new ones... its honestly sad.

"i told mama we see Elephants, Tigers, Panthers, she thought i was visiting Moscow Zoo..." - that man

Some things are a little better, some a little worse, some suck (the smoke from the explosions on the 3 are 2D splashes taken from 98). And one might even think that he can go; after all, 17 fucking years haven't passed from one to the other.

Do you notice how in coh3 sound of rubble falling is suddenly stopped XD Like commoon

sound wise they are weird too , it feels not that impactful like COH1 i don't know what is the word for it but instead of being more harsh and real it's more like "arcade" ish.. hopefully they fix it in near future or at least a mod that could spice those sounds up like before

iron harvest has some really nice destruction effects

When you click attack ground on coh 3, it doesn't recognize the building as target and only tries to shoot at ground level unlike coh 1. Maybe try putting some enemies in the building on cheat mode and try like that. I think the results will be more realistic. Keep up to good work btw. I'm rooting for this kind of comparisons

Building destruction in COH1 is like Men of War: wherever you hit, wherever it fall or break. But COH 3 is like Call to Arm, it has no such responsive destruction mechanic: Wherever you hit, the entirity of it turn into ruin immediately. It felt unresponsive, and such great downgrade as a sequel which it suppose to be a step up fron prequel. Very sad.

3:27 poor pioneers💀

The truth is that explosions, particles and sound in COH1 is still much better! :) Explosions in COH1 are looking spectacular.

If the building destruction activated on every hit I think it would be vastly better

90% of game studios today be like "how simplistic and lowgrade can we make and get away with and how much money can we get out of it"

In my opinion, as someone who’s played the previous installments in the series (in fact CoH 1 got me into the RTS genre), I couldn’t help but notice that the graphics and art design in the latest release seem outdated and neglected. It’s as if the developers didn’t put in as much effort as they did in the past. While the game has its merits, this issue is definitely worth considering if one is considering to buy CoH3. I didn’t order a refund though since I am naively optimistic that the state that CoH3 is in is still salvageable. This can be smoothed out in next patches if we don’t abandon this game and show that players are interested in playing under the condition that the bugs and graphics issues are resolved. Just my two cents on the matter (two cents nowadays isn’t worth much considering inflation).

The difference is one building is from France, the other one is from italy

CoH3 is a great new edition to the mobile game market

Battlefield as a franchise has single-handedly spoiled gamers to the point where if they see any sort of HE payload hit a wall and it doesn't get absolutely obliterated they cry its unrealistic.

So accuracy was better in 1?

CoH3 looks like an early 00s game with sprite dust clouds from the bombs, placed at each corner of a box, and with chunks... shrinking and vanishing, that feels so cheap. Would think there would be far better advancements than that.

I'm not a stickler for graphics but this game looks like army men rts just with more polygons

looks like I'm going to install COH1 again

I am enjoying the campaign of CoH3 much more than I expected. Most battles feel more strategic whereas in the Russian Campaign of CoH2 it was really scripted, tells you where to go what to do which units to use. The battles I have fought in CoH3 give you a few early units and a starting base and let you decide how to take the map.

I've been playing CoH1 since it's initial release. Hard to believe nearly 20 years later it looks and sounds superior to it's successor. I'll eventually come around to getting CoH3, but I'll wait for a good sale price.

explosions and sound in COH 1 far more immersive and realistic compare to COH 3... Thats why i can conclude, we are going backward...

the building destruction in coh3 is pretty impressive but i dont think your test did a good job. the rockets were shooting so low. tank shooting center mass or a rain of mortors would show it off better I like the explosions from coh1 so much more tho its so surprising for me to say that.

-CoH 1 or CoH 3 ? -Men of war!

I wish they made HQ like in coh 1 I like the way the structure build in 1 when I played coh 2 I felt like everything is simplified

I actually prefer the terrain deformation of 3. It's really subtle, and they gave it a unique look.

Call to Arms has great destruction in it and it’s about 40 bucks cheaper than CoH3 and a damn site better with first person mode and weapon sight views

Graviteam tactics minus front is a based game with good vehicle and battleground destruction

Sad, just heared good things about it, but seeing this makes me wonder why.

All the game making tools and access to software we have has made developers lazier as things can just be patched at a later date.

Whoever designed the audio for CoH3 should be fired. How does a game made 17 years later sound significantly worse?

Also where is the vehicle destruction comparisons or expositions on buildings such as artillery, where windows explode outward or ammunition cooking off and breaches billowing fire/smoke or cooked off munitions from the turret ring?

The units are like a cartoon and they float on the map. Coh2 was much more organic. Coh3 had problems from the jump and everyone was like “it’s not finished yet” Ppl need to learn to identify core issues baked into the fabric of a game and realise some things won’t change down the line

It's been 11 years since I played COH1 and I really like it. The sounds and movements are very good. I don't like COH3 as much as COH1

Valentin you need to try the closed beta of The Finals!

The building was pretty bad getting hammered by a bazooka and only stucco is coming off till collapse :/

2 out of 3 ain't bad. The building destruction is a downgrade, but the terrain and vegetation work for me. CoH is one of my favorite franchises, but I still can't justify the 60 dollar price tag right now. Hope we get a sale soon

1>3 Wimpy sounds, like this whole generation. Nothing beats CoH1+Blitzkrieg mod after all these years. I wish the original Devs would continue to develop it.

coh 3's building damage made the incoming projectile look so ineffective and weak, while coh 1 cracks open the entire window coh 3's terrain damage looks much cleaner than coh 1 as if they were shelled but also painted with coal however coh 3's veggie damage left some of the bushes alive, which still looking pretty good but wee bit nasty, while coh 1 basically turns tiles of grass into a tile of dirt like in no man's land in ww1 poor grass

Stop preordering and buying games…it’s very simple it’s called self control

It's not the technology it's the talent the first game when it was made was made by talented people with a massive investment in the game. Now it's maid by some kid who's pass his uni exam who had nothing to do with the original sad but true

Could you check out Last of Us Part 1? It’s coming out on PC at the end of this month.

Trees in coh 3 got real hard. Daaamn.

I used to think that the arty effects in Coh1 were the best. But man coh3 with those shockwave effect and crawling smoke that forms on the ground is awesome! I got the game from pre order and I knew it wouldn't be so awesome for at least a year but when you stop to check this little details you can tell that this game is better than the predecessors in vanilla comparison! And if the mod tools really get as much support relic said they would try to provide than this game will be the best in the series by a long shot! So long as the devs are worth of their word that is!

Rename the video to "talented developers vs lazy good enough developers"

Only Coh 1 in my heart

Perfectly fine

People saying CoH3 sounds are unrealistic like they've heard examples from 1943. C'mon

AAAAAAAAAAA TAKE ME BACK!!

while the building aftermath in 1 is better, I think that the pre-generated areas popping in place of each other and 'fixing' holes from an old damaged spot is silly. COH3 is a big leap in comparison, but the rubble aftermath is really inconsistent with some buildings. terrain damage is a little nerfed, but in comparison to everything else it's not such a big deal.

My only complain about COH1 is the horrible inaccuracy of the Handheld AT and AT guns. Even with vets they annoy the hell out of me. I wouldn't mind if its about getting Veterancy and keep them alive but even Max Vet has horrible accuracy for the Bazooka. Another think is Tank combat is bugged. Due to the 3 "Critical damage" parts,tanks can outright survive on 5% HP while taking 3 shots from AT guns bcuz it kept activating the "Engine Damage","Main Gun Damaged". Not to mention,if the tank already has Critical Engine damage,it will spun around slowly. Here's a thing,IT CAN STILL FIRE AND ATTACK that way. And it takes a while to finally explode too

How you force units to shoot a building?

Men of War and Gates of Hell exists...just a reminder.

looks like they scaled down the spectacle to make concessions for gameplay consistency. I'd imagine modding would allow you to scale up building and terrain damage in coh3.

one I gotta say, the barrages on coh3 feels more heavier than coh1. Like goddam

Если не секрет, сколько с партнёрки зарабатываешь? Хочу тоже начать делать контент для запада

did you do a gore test on trepang 2?

Watching this, it seems a lot of care did go into CoH3 in certain departments. The texture work looks good, but it's blurred beyond recognition in most areas which is more of a rendering/engine issue than an artistic one. The same can be said for the lighting, a lot of CoH3 feels very washed, and there's no occlusion around buildings which gives them the cartoonish look. It's sad such oversights can reduce the visual impact of the game so much.

Seems perfectly fine to me. I dont get the hate for this game

Coh2 is kinda colorful to play like I'm using discord on light mode

I was hoping theyd chart new territory i.e. Pacific and add Japanese or even make a modern day company of heroes.

COH1 is just the best out of the three.

Dmn, COH1 is still better looking and more realistic. How did the manage to make explosions small in COH3? Bazooka hits are disaster in COH3.

Why on earth a game from 2006 have a better destruction mechanics than a game from 2023? Did the game developers got worse in their training&work experience? 🤦

Arty sound in coh1 is just poesy

RTX, DLSS, 4k, $2000 video cards with 1 million gigabytes of video memory... No? Shouldn't this be used? I'm going to get my Voodoo Rush 6mb out of the garage. Welcome to the past.

Coh 3 colour palette is more suitable for Sims game

COH offline against CPU, omg baby :)

the decadence of COH :( 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

your graphics settings for 3 look super low.... if youre going to do comparisons - run on comparable hardware for the time... my COH 3 looks waaaay better than this

Man of war has some really good building destruction

17 years apart, still no progress, i mean they could do wonders, but insted they did this ... not gonna pay for that, CoH1 still owns after 17 years later ...

Terrain effect is more realistic in 3 -- just look at

And Men Of War Assault Squad 2 still beats Company Of Heroes 3.

Coh3 looks like it was released five years before coh1 😅 I was really going to buy the new game but after seeing gameplay videos Iam not sure at all.

try Gates of Hell: Ostfront its everything COH3 should have been

COH3 is a fucking joke, i dont know but it looks like they were making destruction system more than rest of the game.
