Cotw has such a steep learning curve... It barely explains anything. I watched a number of beginner guides to make sense of some of the mechanics. And after 400 hours of Cotw and 100+ Woth, some key differences are: -Animals spook way easier than in Woth. -Animal tiers go from 1-9 (birds-buffalo/predators) -Weapon tiers go from 1-9 (they cover different ranges, like 1, 2-6, 4-8, 7-9) -Polymer-tip bullets should be used as penetration matters more. -Star ratings go from 1-9 (although the max differs for some species e.g. Whitetail can go up to level 3 - very easy, but Red Deer can go up to 9 - legendary) -You have to pass a harvest check to get the full score (max. 2 shots, vital organ hit, no trophy organ damaged, and appropriate weapon tier used) -Animals do not age, diamonds just spawn (5-star equivalent of Woth) -There are Great One variants for some species (Level 10), which in theory can appear at random, but most content creators set up grinds to kill thousands of animals via herd management. -There is also a night vision bino and scopes, so you can actually night hunt, but thats DLC. That's the short version, and you probabaly figured some of it out for yourself (did not finish the video yet, just got excited seeing you play and started typing away 😆) Edit: C for some reason hides all in-game elements (like need zones, tracks)
Not too sure if animals spook better in cotw, it kinda depends on what difficulty you play on in woth, but even on the easiest difficulty on woth, I've spooked elk from 150 yds crouching and the wind was going behind me Also not trying to be rude :)
Excited to see this video! I personally enjoy playing both equally but they definitely fit their own niches and player base which definitely isn’t for everyone. I will say tho Layton Lakes is a hard map to start on/get into in the game, but once you find the cabins and can drive around and get familiar with the need zones it gets a lot better lol. (Also I don’t expect DLC content if you play again, but it would also be funny to see you hunt tigers in Sundarpatan!)
Hey hunt! The icons when spotting animals relate to the class of the animal. A moose is class 8. (Class 6 in woth terms) The likes of lions, tigers, and buffalo are class nine. (That includes most aggressive animals except for bears, kangaroos, and moose. ) for most deer , max level is level 5, (except for whitetail, musk deer and roe deer.)
I love both games, but I will say bird/small game hunting is way more fun in COTW. Especially with the hunting dogs they're adding. I don't know what it is, but I hope they improve the WOTH birds in the future.
CoTW is the most fun when you just run around and shoot whatever you find. It isn't all that realistic but it isn't meant to be It's my personal favorite hunting game, cool to see you play it :) I don't even play WoTH either, I just like your vids
i love this game so much! please play more! i promise the longer you play, the better and funner it gets! especially the DLC's they are totally worth the money, and they dont cost much!! keep it up, love ya, man!❤
I have both games. Newbie to hunting sims about 12 months ago. CoTW was on sale, ploughed 200hrs into it, added a couple of dlc and weapon packs. But then saw WoTH, for me they both have their place. One is more turn up shoot, keep shooting and a rare or diamond will be next. The other is a challenge and what I assume is more ‘realistic’ .. as I have never been hunting irl. Love your vids HUNT, keep them coming.
Its nice to see you trying COTW. I hope you will give it a try, unlock some guns, skills and perks and it will be more fun.. and more videos for us :). I played both, COTW and WOTH but i like COTW better. Im the max graphics type gamer and COTW has better graphics and that atmospheric look that brings the world to life in my opinion. WOTH is nice, more realistic mechanics but you need to spend much more time to have fun. Another thing that i like about COTW its that i don't need to worry about my trophy animals dying by their age. Something else will be the trophy lodge, in COTW you have a big common lodge were you can put your trophies from "all around the world" and i like that a lot more than the map-specific lodges in WOTH. And one last thing - much much more content (and i know that the game its older than the WOTH but...yeah), more maps (btw you can join multiplayer and hunt on the different maps without the need for you to buy the maps, its a good way to test the map and decide if you want to buy it or not) , more animals, hunting dogs and much more.. and this may be a good thing for youtube videos too. Have fun! 🙂
yes mate I really think you should give it some time, it becomes more fun the more perks and skillpoints you unlock. I have myself played more woth but i switched to cotw and i think there is more content to make on cotw because its an older game that has had the time to develop a bunch of fun stuff. Great video HUNT😁♥
i started on cotw but when i built my first pc i bought woth and have never looked back. the genetics system on woth is what pulls me back every time. last night i shot a %99.9 5 star red fox that scored 515.6.
The main reason I switched to COTW was because WOTH has a weird system where you can just change the dificulty so if you work hard in normal mode it means nothing to someone on easy mode. They should at least mark dificulty on the trophie lodge inspection information to make it fair.
@nicokliko3587 You're right, but I also kinda get the same feeling as when you win a game and everyone who participated gets the same reward no matter how hard you tried. If I made the game, I would put the difficulty it spawned on and was shot in on the inspection screen. Otherwise when I show off my lodge my trophies mean nothing to someone who didn't see the work I put in for the ones on higher dificulty unless I just read through the taxidermy list.
I like playing way of the hunter more personally but I played COTW before and I really enjoyed it. It's worth playing and experiencing I like a lot of things about it
Way of the Hunter and theHunter Call of the Wild are my 2 favorite games of all time. When Ultimate Hunting arrives, so I gonna say: Ultimate Hunting, Way of the Hunter and theHunter Call of the Wild are my 3 favorite games of all time!
Hey Hunt, awesome you gave it another try. Things getting better and tracking becomes easier with leveling up and getting some perks. Don't let the negative people keep you from trying. There's a reason CotW content creators have multiple 100k subs and it's not because the game sucks. Just keep it in a good mix. 🙂
Call of the Wild is the best of the best you just have to learn it and kinda get good at it. And You need pretty much all the DLC to experience what this game fully has to offer. But once you get to the point of being able to locate animals and knowing how to hunt them It’s an amazing experience.
Your content is always good vibes and funny! The game doesnt matter as much. However, your videos and reading comments about WotH make it less of a solitary experience
The 8 thing is the animal's class. in COTW each animal has a class kinda like how each animal in WOTH has a specific tier. if you look at each gun you have it should have a row of numbers with specific ones highlighted. the highlighted number are the classes that gun can take down efficiently. the classes range from 1 - 9 in COTW. Hope this helps you 👍
The numbers mean level the moose is a level 8 animal which cant be effectively hunted by the 243 (starting rifle) there are many outposts on the maps where you can sleep,buy guns etc
CoTW has the least realistic animation for bolt action rifles. And shotguns too. Also 12ga looks like 410 and 20ga looks bigger than 12ga. It's like developers have never seen how a real gun works. Also scopes are stupid. 3 things I like in CoTW: animals actually leave tracks, while WoTH these are just permanent trails. Then there is a very nice winter map and then the wolves are actually much more realistic and scary. In WoTH a wolf pack look like a bunch of old stray dogs fearing everything and answering to a caller with a howl, like wtf, they must be silent when hunting. Btw both games did the scope view wrong. I'm really excited to see how Ultimate Hunting will compare to these two games when it comes out
It feels more arcade-ish than WOTH -- which is to say there's no consequences to just blasting everything relentlessly. When I want more strategy and thoughtful gameplay -- I play Way of the Hunter. Also, the render distance in COTW is horrible and so is the UI/UX. The one thing I do like more is the music in COTW -- which is a strange thing to say.
So like in way of the Hunter, it goes up to tier 6 but Hunter call of the wild it goes up to tier 9, so it’s a tier 8 animal so you’ll need a stronger gun
I got 400hrs on this game. All on the first 2 maps. But it started to feel too much arcady *if that is even a word*. After I install the Australia map, I literally had a boxing match with a kangaroo. Shot it in the face. Then, it feels the same for the rest of the new map so I UNINSTALLED it. And I never left WOTH since.
I’ve been playing this game for like 6 years and it never fails to disappoint. Somthing about going out and looking for a rare or a trophy seems new every day. WOTH is way more realistic and I have played both. COTW is definitely less realistic but in MY choice it’s a little better. No hate
For me WOTH is still my go-to game. If you use a bow in COTW you can just keep calling them back regardless of the hunting pressure and how many times you spooked them. The herd just keeps coming back and you can easily farm and get to end level. This is also what killed the game for me. Way too arcade ish. My eyes are also on that new hunting game that's supposed coming to PS5 and PC but i forgot the name. It has a yellow picture
You cant do this anymore and havent been able to for like a year or so, even now a 22 rifle can only kill 2 ducks before the rest will leave before you could snipe the whole flock. Animals will not respond to your caller now if they are in a nervous state and an arrow being fired into their friend does put them into a nervous state just before they would still react to calls in that state. So your not wrong, but your information is a tad out dated.
I once downloaded this game and played it but when saw way of the hunter my view completely changed ❤.well,i really love w of the hunter more than this game
Bro you cant say wotf has a better tracking system when you dont understand how it works yet😂 you thought u were tracking the deer and u were actually tracking the bear u just shot😂😂 give it a chance!! Its fun I promise
I feel like Cabela's Big Game Hunter had better graphics than this game lol. Woth blows this away and its not even close. Cotw just has much more content unfortunately
This game is arcade for sure . I literally hate that you have to set up and SHOOT thousands of animals just to get a G.O. not HUNT just shoot. Its boring to do and even more boring to watch. Stopped playing this year and half ago.
Give it a fair shake! I play a lot of Way of the hunter as well and love them both. It’s a great game with a TON of content. Enjoy!

you cant compare the animal spooking mechanic when woth has differnet difficulties

I love seeing you branch out and play other hunting games I personally would like to see a series of them all

I play this game when i get tired of way of the hunter. And it makes me go straight back to woth
Yup dlc wise COTW is king, but realism, WOTH has the crown.
I love both games, but I will say bird/small game hunting is way more fun in COTW. Especially with the hunting dogs they're adding. I don't know what it is, but I hope they improve the WOTH birds in the future.
@@kevinmclelland3887 Yeahh but big game is dog crap in cotw. Not difficult in the slightest.
CoTW is the most fun when you just run around and shoot whatever you find. It isn't all that realistic but it isn't meant to be
It's my personal favorite hunting game, cool to see you play it :)
I don't even play WoTH either, I just like your vids
W!
agreed the game was built to be an arcade style hunting game with an open world aspect. way of the hunter is just all around goated
I actually enjoyed this from you a lot more than I thought I would. You should do another vid on it!
i love this game so much! please play more! i promise the longer you play, the better and funner it gets! especially the DLC's they are totally worth the money, and they dont cost much!! keep it up, love ya, man!❤

Seeing this video pop up in my notifications has made my day.
never thought i'd see this from you but i still love you HUNT lol
Just testing the waters 😂
I love your videos I’m trying to find videos I haven’t watch
i started on cotw but when i built my first pc i bought woth and have never looked back. the genetics system on woth is what pulls me back every time. last night i shot a %99.9 5 star red fox that scored 515.6.
Oh I just had to see this video! Started on this game until I saw a video of woh I never looked back
Hell yeah. Give it a fair try bro. It’s not bad. I like both hunting games
I do enjoy that you can get a ghille suit in this game makes one feel extra snipey! 😂
The main reason I switched to COTW was because WOTH has a weird system where you can just change the dificulty so if you work hard in normal mode it means nothing to someone on easy mode. They should at least mark dificulty on the trophie lodge inspection information to make it fair.
I miss WOTH but I feel like all my progress means nothing.
@@WothCotw On the trophie screenshot it has the difficulty tho. And what does it matter if the trophies are for yourself?
@nicokliko3587 You're right, but I also kinda get the same feeling as when you win a game and everyone who participated gets the same reward no matter how hard you tried.

The most fun you can have on this is silver rigde peak and chasing and shooting bison
I like playing way of the hunter more personally but I played COTW before and I really enjoyed it. It's worth playing and experiencing I like a lot of things about it
That eight is the glass of the animal
You can actually crouch and move while prone fast using the running button, and it doesn't make a lot more noise
This game feels so much better, I originally played cotw but I switched to way of the hunter when I converted to pc
I go back and forth between both games. Sometimes I just wanna run and shoot and sometimes I want a challenge
Way of the Hunter and theHunter Call of the Wild are my 2 favorite games of all time. When Ultimate Hunting arrives, so I gonna say: Ultimate Hunting, Way of the Hunter and theHunter Call of the Wild are my 3 favorite games of all time!
Tip... Don't go towards the opening of the cone on the directional map that is your wind go away from it
Hey Hunt, awesome you gave it another try. Things getting better and tracking becomes easier with leveling up and getting some perks.

Best hunting game ytber
I’m downloading it right now
So like in way of the Hunter, it goes up to tier 6 but Hunter call of the wild it goes up to tier 9, so it’s a tier 8 animal so you’ll need a stronger gun
Hey hunt the 8 is the clas😊
Nr like 8 next to moose is just the animal class
Try silver ridge peaks that maps way more fun bc there's alot more animals

Way of the hunter is more realistic, but i personally like Cotw better because of things like great ones, species diversity, and maps.
And guns. More guns.
Number 1 youtuber
You should do more bow hunting on way of the hunter
I’ve been playing this game for like 6 years and it never fails to disappoint. Somthing about going out and looking for a rare or a trophy seems new every day. WOTH is way more realistic and I have played both. COTW is definitely less realistic but in MY choice it’s a little better. No hate
I gotta say both are good waterfowl hunting is so much better in call of the wild
It'll be funner if you buy high caliber wepon pack and modern rifle pack and a couple of maps
It has happened ladies and gentlemen
Call of the Wild is animated it’s alright way of the hunter is way better just needs more guns
The number is the class or size so like in woth a moose is a 6 in here it’s an 8
What made you want to play
Don't get me wrong cotw has it's issues but I absolutely love this game. I play the crap out of both this and woth.
I played it some weeks ago again after a long time. It is kind of fun but the animals are so stupid 😂 Its much more Arcade then Way of the Hunter
For me WOTH is still my go-to game.
If you use a bow in COTW you can just keep calling them back regardless of the hunting pressure and how many times you spooked them. The herd just keeps coming back and you can easily farm and get to end level.

11:39 that definitely wasnt a great one those take thousands of kills
Nooo he fell to the dark side
😂
The animal is class 8
first time!! thats crazy, Hope you like the game going further. But dont sink 800 hours into it like I did lol
Trust me I will not get sucked into this game lol
@@Huntgaming25 Complete opposite for me, only sunk 100 hours into WOTH but I cant really play it for long before i get bored
@twiitch_polar1119 I'm looking forward to Ultimate Hunting! Can't wait to see what that game has in store for us.
Bro how do you like the game I love it the way of the hunter is more realistic though
I like Way of the Hunter much more!
Bro you cant say wotf has a better tracking system when you dont understand how it works yet😂 you thought u were tracking the deer and u were actually tracking the bear u just shot😂😂 give it a chance!! Its fun I promise
Its all for the views next thing hes doing a lead charity to the local woodland residents irl
I was asked to play it, so I played it 😊
Another please
Its ok, i like woth more because it is more realistic
I’ve played both extensively. WOTH is way better, IMO.
Oh God no! It's so arcade like....
It’s class 8
Calling cotw an arcade hunting game is absolutely insane considering the hunter sense BS in woth lmao
Hey bro, check out kg gaming. He plays cotw and gives a lot of advice in his videos
I feel like Cabela's Big Game Hunter had better graphics than this game lol. Woth blows this away and its not even close. Cotw just has much more content unfortunately
Animals dont spook at all super arcade
COTW is better than WOTH in my opinion
this game CAN be fun sometimes ngl but from a realism standpoint, it's a straight clown fest straight up
Way of the hunter is way better
Get it?
Why do you think pretty much all my content is Way of the Hunter
Got it?
@@Huntgaming25no

What is this 😡this feels like betrayal…
😂 just testing the waters
Toss this game in the trash, absolute garbage game I only subbed to you cause you play woth
I just wonder why woth never took off like cotw it’s astounding how much better it is
@ it will, they will add better DLC in the future the game has a great foundation to build off of
Keep dreaming @@SkyScapeAlberta
This game is buns
No it’s fun later on
