coh 3 vs Gates of Hell: Ostfront front

[coumba]

If someone played both games witch is better in terms of graphics, animations and sound? I know gameplay is different.

[NOBLE SIX]

At this point they are too different to be compared.

But I'd say if COH 3 is Battlefield, Ostfront is ArmA.

Well they play pretty different as you stated. I would argue that GoH is the better game in terms of overall game play.

CoH has a more cartoony look while GoH trys to be more realistic. I personally find both to be graphically appealing. Animations can sometimes be weird in GoH, but the same can be said about CoH, but CoH probably has the edge for animations. Generally you wont even pay a whole lot of attention to the animations in either (Multiplayer at least)

Really, I would get both if you enjoy RTS games. But as a budget conscious person I would say that $60 is way to much for CoH considering the amount of content (maps especially).

Ostfront has way better graphics and more realism.

At this point get Ostfront for overall better experience in all aspects. Maybe in a few months they can be compared to each other in terms of value and satisfaction, obviously not gameplay.

Ostfronts a much better WW2 game. CoH is fun, but it's Mr Magoo engagement ranges and cartoon art style don't lend themselves to a very authentic feeling WW2 RTS.

There's a sound overhaul on the way, so that side of it is about to all change. There's already more meaty FX in the game than you'll find here, but then you also have larger calibre artillery to use.

Graphics are grittier, much more realistic, neither game is ugly though. Ost can chug a bit if you dial up Pop cap settings, starts becoming heavily Cpu bound.

I prefer Ost, overall. It's much harder to break defensive lines, the pace is slower, there's a much greater variety in units. It's not as polished as CoH tho, with some annoying problems with vehicles getting stuck in buildings/trenches, and some other jank you'll get from a smaller development team.

Multiplayer = CoH3

Singleplayer = Gates of Hell: Ostfront

[Nekorva]

ostfront. NOTHING MORE TO SAY

[DRY SWINGING EVERYTHING IDGAF]

gates of hell by far, but for a competitive multiplayer experience COH3 will be better.

[Fact Checker]

Ostfront and GOH is great but asks you to micromanage your units even more than CoH. For instance the fire at will and return fire commands are bugged as hell, and your units will not attack people even when BEING attacked, unless you give the order. it sucks ass. But the game is fun. way more fun than CoH

Thanks a lot! That's clear enough for me

Ostfront's not the most complex, but certainly more so than this. But it supports mods as well, so there's that. More SP content I would definitely agree with. Ostfront = SP focus, COH 3 = MP focus.

And yeah, seemingly more micro involved in Ostfront, since blobbing is so effective right now.. Haha.

honestly GATES of hell AI is not even that great too its actualy wurse the CoH Ai lol

[GenericUsername]

if you play gates of hell be sure to be patient with the bugs present. Fun game and I really enjoy it. but if you aren't prepared it can spoil the experience.

Gates of hell is more focused on individual model control and inventory management. WHen played on easy / medium, you can play pretty casually. so its pretty approachable.

I would give it a try if you are interested. It has its place in the RTS world. Just be aware, some missions literally give you an hour of prep defense time and even that isn't enough time some missions haha..

GoH is getting an AI rework soon, so don't take this to heart.
