Youtube videos will be your best to see what he game is like.

Everybody is different and likes different things.

Gates of Hell is more technical. So it's more realistic but its harder to learn.

Coh 2 is like an arcade version of this very different games

No, they are not really the same. Having played both myself, I have found GOH to be more simulation gameplay and COH has always been somewhat arcade with a trend towards very arcade-like in the current title. I skipped COH 3 after seeing its beta gameplay. It lacked any sort of punch that tanks and artillery had and looked almost as if they were shot out of a cannon in slow motion. GOH feels much more lifelike in its automations as far as vehicles are concerned. Infantry is a bit different and the models look better on COH but GOH is no slouch there either.
As Saxhorn has stated, GOH is much harder to learn and not so much about timing and there is absolutely no base-building elements to it. I've sunk nearly 700 hours into this game so far and I have only been playing it off and on since its second DLC. I really enjoy it.

not the same at all, goh has no base building and goh is a lot more slow paced and realistic, firefights take place at MUCH longer ranges and maps are MUCH bigger

goh is more comparable to men of war: assault squad 2

coh2 is arcadey and fast paced, goh is realistic and slow paced

in coh2 you control entire squads of infantry and theres not much micro you can do, while in GOH you can directly control each individual soldier, they all have inventories, with ammo and medkits and supply of their own that you need to worry about, you can pick up individual firearms laying on the ground

GOH is a lot more micro intensive and you have a lot more fine control

if anything they are polar opposite, the only thing similar is that theyre both WW2 RTS

Don't even think just buy. Seemed kinda weird at first but ones you stick with the controls you'll never retern to Company of heroes.

its so much fun. im new to pc gaming so im still a noob but its so freaking fun

[Nekorva]

Okay, thanks guys

Men of War Assault Squad 2 is a closest play albeit Gates of Hell is a greater improvement all around and much more.
MoWAS2 goes always on sales for a few dollars if you want to have a taste before committing to GoH full game package.
CoH2 has also different playstyle and commands than GoH that you'll need some time to adjust to.

WAY more micro, deadly, and the engagement ranges are MUCH further. Those are the 3 largest differences you'll notice right away. But this is the superior RTS. ;)

DOES IT HAVE INGAME STATS LIKE OVERALL k/D, played time etc ?

Gates of Hell is not that type of game. Those stats shouldn't ever matter unless you are playing Conquest mode. If you worry about stats and KD's then you are better off staying on CoH.

That's a bold statement considering Gates of Hell and CoH 2 are basically in 2 different categories of strategy games. CoH is just more of just arcade RTS and Gates of Hell is more of a Simulation strategy game with grand strategy elements in via conquest. I will also add to this that the biggest and most glaring difference is how terrible the unit AI in Gates of Hell is compared to other strategy games. Play Conquest long enough and you'll see how terrible the AI and your units AI is especially with the latest update making it even more noticeable at how much the units can get stuck on simple corners or take very weird paths that get them into bad situations.

it's not that bad if you pay attention and micromanage.
COH ai is non existant, can't compare these two games as one is arcade for kids and gamers who like multiplayer and a ruined genre (vanilla COH was gold) vs. the other is micro intensive game that tries to be immersive as hell and does a good job of it

[Zakalwe]

I play both, and I'd say that COH2/3 is a great competitive game. It's all about the match. GOH is more like a WW2 experience. The balance is much harder to define, objectives have to be carefully approached and in general it's a lot slower and more attritional.

Where GOH beats COH2/3 is the ability to play it as if it were Battlefield 1942. Giving yourself three AI team mates vs 3 enemy AI, and just playing as a single soldier/vehicle is an amazing experience!

If I had to chose just one though, it'd be COH2/3, simply because it's a more carefully balanced game and untimely more 'fun'. The big takeaway though is that you can own both, because they cover different types of gameplay.

37mm gun will bounce off tiger.
Does coh2 do that?

While 122 mm IS 2 will kill tiger like a small cat.

Goh2 = war thunder.
Coh2 = war of tanks
