Africa campaign

[Rincewind]

played it today... quit after 10mins..
Wow... I really can´t play this campaign with that really really bad voice lines. I´m from Germany and no one is speaking like this.... It´s so horrible to hear them speaking that "english". Holy crap...

let them speak english or german but this denglish is just such shaming

[ComradCommodore]

Idk why they didnt do something similiar to the Italian campaign, with the whole above the map play and whatnot

I think im about 3 missions in and I cant bring myself to play it anymore

I played the italy campaign some hours and i´m a little bit more okay with the voice lines there. But what makes the italy campaign bad for me is the non existence AI there. Just planes every round which is more annoying than immersive because of that too long animation.

Only played Italian for a couple hours , but so far I like the idea of it lol

Yeah if I had it my way the German factions would just be speaking German.

Inevitably the Germans end up sounding like the stereotypes held by the English-speaking world. I thought at least the German unit voices in this game sound human, whereas in COH2 they all sounded like psychotic fanatics.

Rommel sounds ridiculous, though. Flat delivery, bad lines, and the lines are obviously stitched together.

As a Brit, I also cringe at the British lines. Terrible, whereas in the last game, they were excellent.

Rommel's voice acting. Actually the entire Afri-- THE ENTIRE GAME has ♥♥♥♥♥♥ voice acting, it's literally insane. Especially the DAK MG34 and PAK. My god, the voice acting.

My way would be a german speaking english with there good german accent.
Like how the US sounds US, but the germans sounds like someone make a parody, anyone can do that, it just gets old.

The Germany campaign is absolutely the worst ever German campaign in game history. They present Afrikakorps in very bad way lying about soldiers and Erwin Rommel . I think someone will sue developers for this. They should be hold accountable for this.

I liked Rommels voice, being old it was evocative of all the films i watched in my youth.

No one now talks like the 1940s. Should i have said 1940s Hollywood/Elstree

Imaging what russians hear in every game and movie since the dawn of time =))

I guess for germans Rommel sounds exactly like every soviet character in CoH2 for russian speaking community.

I think they are still haunted by the Russian accents of Harrison Ford & Liam Neeson in K-19: The Widowmaker.

At least Relic nailed, "The Canadians, eh?" For the upcoming Canadian Shock Troops.

British are second best.

Americans and Germans are the worst.

German player here - those accents are giving me ear-cancer, too. But besides of that i'm having fun in the african campaign. Not everything works as it should and it was very easy so far, but it's fun.

I've done a fair bit of study on Rommel over the years, including reading his books and diaries. He wouldn't speak like that and it was just so cringey. The missions are boring and generic, and don't really capture his tactical brilliance or the desperation his army faced in N.Africa. I also think there was a missed opportunity of having him as a hero unit in a scout car.

I think the British voice lines are actually pretty well done. The Taff Engi's are great, and there's a nice mix of regional accents, outside of your usual cockney geezer. We're not all from ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ London....

I thought the lines were a lot funnier in the last game and felt like there were even more regional accents like the West Country Churchill driver. Preferred the Welsh engineers in the last game - this time they sound out of 2023, using words like "buzzing". The retarded and angry Scottish heavy tank voice is too over the top in a Groundskeeper Willie sort of a way.

It lost me as soon as I saw the first cut scene of the story...
