EPISODE 2 IS OUT NOW - th-cam.com/video/IkmqR_3z00E/w-d-xo.html ! Buy it here with the promo code PARTYELITE to support the channel when you buy: link.xsolla.com/D7jZsVcH ! Been waiting for this one for quite some time now! Really excited to check out the dynamic campaign map and exactly how the implementation here feels. I'm thinking we do an episode every other day? Let me know what you think!
I absolutely love the reference to the original Company of Heroes with the presence of Sergeant (currently Corporal) Joe Conti. I know it's a small thing, but.. I have thousands of hours on that game, and the campaign is still one of my favorites of all time. It still feels like the units are on fast forward, though. I really wish they would've fixed that for the game.
Tanks won't fire while you have troops embarked on them, that's why you were feeling frustrated from how long it took to fire.( you can also see the circle indicator on your tank showing it isn't firing) I wouldn't want to be riding on a tank that fired its Main Gun either...you'd feel the shock something fierce.
This is excellent I really struggled when first playing having now realised I missed the initial post Siscily campaign somehow .. I can restart with far more confidence, have subscribed.
Looking forward to the full game tomorrow and to more of your commentary ! Buckram's pronunciation is aggressively American, and Norton got Tropea (the stress is on the E) wrong, but overall they're not so bad at pronouncing Italian names. On the other hand, you pron is really quite good. You got Chiaravalle wrong, but that's objectively very difficult. As a rule of thumb, CH+E or CH+I are always hard K sounds, SC+E or SC+I are always SH sounds (as in shoe), and in general (exceptions apply) you tend to pronounce every single letter in every word.
Recently found your channel 2 days ago with your Ixion vids, was already enjoying your playthrough of it then I checked out your other playlists and I was so happy that you have so much content that I know I'll love even though I don't have time to watch them all (I'm still only on episode 3 of your Ixion vids). Keep up the good work man!
As much as I'd like a return to Victoria 3, especially after all the new updates, you really don't miss with these new playthroughs, whether it's IXION or this, really enjoyable watch!
I am all in for a Company of Heroes playthrough, especially since I finally decided to finish CoH1 campaigns. So happy to recognize names like Conti and MacKay. Also, PE picking the UK Indian company? Surprised Pikachu. But in all honesty, after reading Gurkha company and Self-propelled artillery, I'm more than on board (and I usually like to play artillery and tank heavy in most games). Also also, about pronouncing the towns, I would not sweat it, especially since you will have a Brit and a stereotypical Yankee general pronouncing Italian towns in their respective accents, so... while I wouldn't take them as guides on how to pronounce stuff, what's one more commander butchering the name? I guess the question is if you want to pronounce the names in English or in Italian 🤣 (full disclaimer, I speak zero Italian, but I speak Spanish, so... slightly close, I guess, but I HIGHLY DOUBT any of the generals are doing the pronouncing any justice.😅)
It weird that you didn't try the new Pharaoh A New Era remaster, let me tell you that is as hard as you were a kid, I have a love and hate relationship with economy sims, with supply and demand, sometimes I great at them, but other time I always miss something.
This is very likely my strong english ancestry, but disregarding the British command requests smacks highly of arrogance when they've been fighting the war since day one and the American's only decided to get involved in 1941. The English *know* what they're doing - especially by this point.
I see the comparison works well. Patton an arrogant and aggressive sob and Montgomery was more cautious and needed to preserve his forces. The UK was nearing the limits of their manpower whereas the US was able to take more casualties and could replace them. The friction between the two generals was a serious issue for the Supreme commander.
It is Nyanko. BB3 is crawling with bugs right now. I have yet to be able to complete a match without it freezing or crashing, and the server lag is appalling.
How do you mean? LOS plays a role in the real time battles, and height advantages help grant greater line of sight, and better lines of fire too. In the opening mission our allied troops were granting us line of sight at times.
@@PartyElite Yes i saw that. But it appears that the devs returned to the old CoH 1 "perception circles" for lack of a better term. These simply uncover fog of war in a certain radius. Whereas in CoH 2 devs introduced real time LOS, like proper sight cones and relatively small awareness areas around a unit, depending on type. That was a great tactical feature that made CoH 2 a great deal better imho.

Personally, I'd much rather see more Vic 3 than an RTS or bowling alley survival game.
More campaign videos!

First, you give us an awesome Rouge Trader series, and now this!!! Get out of my brain!! Haha!!! More of this campaign please!
It's not a real party without Party Elite!
I knew immediately that you'd pick the UK Indian Artillery. I mean... it's you.
Excited to see the Gurkha Rifles in action. The most unit of units.
Had no idea this was coming out already. What an awesome surprise.
I still remember when I play for first time Close Combat [1990s] and Close Combat - A Bridge too far! Still love the stile of this games!

So excited for this playthrough! I'll be here for every episode Party

Appreciate the kind words and I'm glad to hear there's a lot here you're likely to enjoy! Thank you! =)

I miss Victoria 3 too
I kinda want them to extend time we play a run for
flame thrower that can fire through walls... goddamnit...
Omg this snuck up on me! So pumped, it looks great
I always enjoy a Party Elite series always a unique video or series to get invested in
Dam flame caster deal alot of damage, maybe too much :)
Damn , I wish flamethrowers were as long range in other videogames as in this one :D

im even more psyched for this game! i love the campaign map!
the push at 16:00 caused me to get distracted and lose a diablo 4 hardcore character as I watched the entire thing.
i never played CoH before, but it really looks great. looking forward to the next episode
I wish if germany had their own dynamic campaign
Does this game come with an AI? Or will units always charge right in front of your tanks? 😀
Been looking for a good watch of company of heros! Liked the first game too much, but never got into the others.
Loving your professional commentary and great mic quality. Game looks promising but clearly has bugs that need fixing.
That intro reminds me of world in conflict
New COH?! Hell yeah!
The in-game sounds fucked up. There are missing explosion sounds everywhere...
Im just stunned this game actually exists and is a real thing
More campaign videos!
Can someone help me and explain how to unlock the bomber and fighter planes in the Italy campaign?
The side/front amour thing isn't new, it's just displayed better for new player to see
Side armor is new. Before we just had front/back
So your units are OP and enemies are dumb as bricks on high difficulty.
More likely prologue and first missions are heavily scripted, the ai could pose a sensible threat in past betas, no reason for that to change
@@cardinalvarsen5781 Ah yes should've thought of that.
what do you think of the Company of Heroes 3? compare it to 1 and 2 and also steel division 2?
I miss medal of honnor sun and rise or airborne aha

In battle, morale and loyalty are very important... day to day, the people you are around are the ones who you live and die with... =D
Cant you move the boat? And can you only move one unit at the time
Never mind. The second I wrote this they told you to use the boat.
So...Buckram = Patton. Norton = Monty?

The UK was nearing the limits of their manpower whereas the US was able to take more casualties and could replace them.

It's just for me or the gameplay is much faster this time than in the original CoH.
Thanks for the playthrough. I intended to buy BB3 at first but it seems such a complete mess atm that I will rather get CoH 3.
It is Nyanko. BB3 is crawling with bugs right now. I have yet to be able to complete a match without it freezing or crashing, and the server lag is appalling.
The enemy AI seems very bad.
Am i seeing this right? Is there no real time LOS anymore? I hate it.

Sorry for asking but maybe think about bringing back the elite zoo company
Any recent gameplay vids without moronic commentary?
hey what happened with MARVEL>??
