It is a slow go, but I am figuring things out.

This game has its quirks, but overall I think it is a good game and I find myself repeating missions just trying to get better. I think a better compairson would be the men of war series. It can be paused to execute orders and create control groups in single palyer, not sure about multi play but I doubt it. That is not to say the novice will not have fun. The degree of skill to make full advantage of all your units is very high. I kind of wish I had never played any other RTS games before I tried this one, I have become spoiled by having my hand held to often by other games. Pure visual recognition of unit types is needed as there are no unit icons to differentiate and the camera zoom is limited making that tuff at the start.

This means you may have to deselect 10 or more units to get the three you actually want. Not easy to create mixed control groups as you have to eliminate the units you dont want from the unit bar, in the group, rather then pick them. It is definatley meant for the high clicks per minute crowd. COH is an easier game to play but still requires sound tactics. In my opinion SS4 has bigger scale, far better sound, atmosphere and general immersion.

SS4 is a much more slower paced and is stratergy based but with tactical elements. However I can say that COH is a solid tactics based game that is much more fast paced. Whereas SS4 is a more specialised stratergy game that makes you manage you units more. Originally posted by Joshuastr:I have both, like others have said it's hard to compare both games because COH is a generic reasource harvesting, unit and base building RTS.
