So, is the ultimate edition worth it?

[Starkiller]

The game is barely 4 euros right now, and I don't like to purchase incomplete game, so I tend to go with all out editions. But is the ultimate worth it? Are the Russian and German campaigns complete and worth it or was the season pass just a cash grab?

[Odzianna]

I'm still quite new to the game, but what I can say after a short conquest with germans against russians... Man, the russian tanks are bonkers.

That aside, from what I can gather, is, that the factions mostly play fairly similar, with minor differences like the russian standard infantry unit having 1 less member than those of other factions. The Germans standard unit comes with MP's while the Americans have shotguns.

I would carefully say that more factions don't add more cake to the plate, but sprinkles to the cake that is already there. So while it is nice and looks pretty, ultimately you could do without just fine.

I would say go for it. If noone else can tell you more, i will dive into the german campaign soon and check that out~

hey man whats your discord i loved to play

If you mean me, unfortunately I don't use discord~

A smol update: I played the first german campaign mission and... yeah, it's bad. There is no voice acting, not from the guy giving you instruction, nor from your units. The map is HUGE. Which might make you think "Hey, that's nice, plenty of room for maneuvers!"

Yeah, no. It's a air field, so most of it is flat ground. The enemy starts right away with several hundred units, all defending and not moving an inch, and you have to defeat most of them. And once you managed to break their first AT-units? the map actually epands even further!

Now do the same again, but this time the Ai is kinda broken und you can just... drive a vehicle between their lines to murder them all. Check this...

They all clump up...

Yeah, your vehicle murders them until one of them has a molotov or an AT launcher and your vehicle just gets murdered without you having a chance to do anything, it just detonates.

Naw, in this mission the enemies were absolutely lobotomized and didn't move an inch, even if the entire squad gets mowed down. You can see it from pic 1 to 2, they were even looking at me and still didn't move at all

Download Warfighter mod and it becomes a whole new game. Thank me later.

Yeah, I guess Warfighter is like Blitzkrieg mod for Company of Heroes 1. i tried it and it's awesome, thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah the AI have 3 settings: Hold Move, meaning they wont move an inch no matter.
Zone, which is basically a set patrol distance
Free move: Basically what it says on the tin.
