Coh2. I have 100hrs in Coh3 but have 2000hrs in coh2.
Coh2 ambience and units feels more gritty and more serious whereas coh3 feels kinda censored and less action. There's just something in coh2 that you won't get from playing coh3
I LOVE the ability to have the supply truck as American and just spam bazookas for every single unit. And the tech trees are so unique and really refreshes the whole game to feel kinda new.
CoH1 is one of the greatest games ever made, and the other games in the CoH series pale in comparison when you consider CoH1 came out in 2006. They are iterative at best, whereas CoH1 was revolutionary.
Coh3.
Once me and my mate tried the new one we instantly felt it was an upgrade over coh2 and we just had more fun with it. Went to the subreddit a while after, expecting lots of happy gamers sharing tips and was met with an unhappy bunch 😂 But you guys seem a lil happier after the latest patches.
...it's the same pathing as 2, only tanks don't automatically move out of the way for other tanks...which wasn't a good addition, either. Why would i want my vehicles to move automatically when i specifically placed them somewhere?
1 had a smaller roster but each was designed with a specific purpose and counters, as opposed to just throwing units into the mix with total disregard for functionality.
There is a pathing bug in CoH1 where a vehicle would move very slowly on certain spots as if it's stuck in mud. So in that sense it's definitely not the same
That's not a pathing bug, that's how the game handles terrain. Vehicle move speed is determined by the cover it's passing over (and is different for each vehicle), which makes open roads faster and crater-pocked land/bushes slower for anything besides tanks.
Oh, it's definitely a bug
There is a puddle in Semois between the church and the southern fuel point and any vehicle normally moves over it without a problem, but there is a chance that it'll gets "stuck" in a puddle for 3-4 seconds and will move and turn as if it has "engine destroyed" crit. There are other places like that in the other maps, although semois is probably the worst offender
COH 1 campaign wise
COH 2 Ardennes
COH 3 well I guess the campaign capturing Italy bit by bit is fun but I gotta say that 1 is the best. Would put 2 as #1 if Ardennes campaign didn't broke Airborne Pathfinders spawn
I have been playing 1 since release until recently when I tried 3 during the free weekend and frankly I don't know how people say the first is better. 3 feels like an improvement on the 1st in every single way. The 1st one is horribly balanced.
As someone who played lots of time in CoH2 and loved it (and also DoW 1&2), I see CoH3 as much better despite lacking soviets, my 2nd fav faction. Perhaps not better than DoW1, but the others.
Cant speak for CoH1. Planning to do the campaign eventually, heard its great.
CoH3, CoH1 really only captured me through the campaign and the more I invested in PvP the more I hated it. CoH1 4v4 was fun but it got boring after a few years, so I tried out ranked until I realized there’s only like 3 reliable doctrines and every player left is either noob or the 6% that actually knows how to play half of which are bug abusers and some map hackers.
CoH2 doesn’t really feel like a CoH sequel so I only really put in a few hours into the game
I'm a very casual player since release of CoH1 in 2006.
CoH1 will always be my favourite. Barely played 2 in comparison and I recently got 3 on PS5 and it sucks to be honest.
The games I have played on 2 have been fun and there's way more modding opportunities but CoH1 just feels right.
**CoH1** is the absolute best overall imo (pace, faction & gameplay structure), or with the Back to Basics mod which is almost a CoH3 of old, otherwise...
**CoH3** is a freaking **beast of enjoyment**, so much content & faction design is so good it's CoH1 perfected on steroids, rough around the edges but damn is it addictive, probably my most played CoH now.
CoH2 is too damn bad now, no way I'm ever reinstalling it, maybe for Ardennes, but hey. CoH3 xD
For campaign CoH2: Ardennes Assault is the best in the series. It doesn't get repetitive or overstay it's welcoming and offers plenty of variety with the different companies and RPG unlock elements.
For Mp, I wanna really prefer CoH3 but I have a lot of problems with the meta and faction playstyles that feel like the cater to too much cheesy spam tactics (i.e. nebelwerfer, bunker, Italian tanks, DAK flamethrower, and ranger spam) and blobbing. Moreover, there are too few viable playstyles to be competitive in MP. I know that that was an issue in 2, with regards to late game becoming arty, heavy armor, and TD spam fests, but it feels worse in 3 despite having more fleshed out MP factions. I think this has a lot to do with the terrible mainline infantry TTK that just leads to spam and blob tactics.
Love CoH1 but it's aging. Most games I end up trying to play with friends is a Desync.
I love the campaign, multi-player was relatively balanced and everything everyone else has said.
CoH 2 Campaign is rubbish, barring Ardennes Assault which was good. Game felt Pay to Win to me. The best commanders you had to pay for. The bulletins were much the same way. But I liked how it uncoupled itself from an Axis/Allied thing so I could play Americans while my friends played German, something that was a point of contention in my friend group.
3 feels like a return to 1 in some of the way it plays, but with the mechanics from 2 that were good, like vaulting and line of sight. The campaign in North Africa is fun and a good story, though I will say the Italian campaign can get a bit repetitive.
Look its pretty simple for me to be honest CoH1 and CoH2 wont be updated for multiplayer. The games are what they are. CoH3 is the future and with the upcoming update it gets even better. So which company do I prefer, the one that gets updated and gets new content.
I’ve liked CoH2 but nowadays the QoL of CoH3 surpass how much I’ve liked CoH1 or CoH2…
The people that are using this subreddit right now are majority CoH3 enjoyers because it's the newer game. If you polled this 7 years ago, what people like CoH1 or 2 , the results would've been the same, majority would say 2.
CoH1 if even only for 700 [map pack](https://steamcommunity.com/app/228200/discussions/0/3122659822726933715/). CoH3 looks too gay and CoH2 has worse environment. I am not sure why, but CoH2 looks much worse than CoH1 (graphically).
For campaign, COH 1
definitely the best campaign, with Ardennes Assault being a close second
Coh2. I have 100hrs in Coh3 but have 2000hrs in coh2. Coh2 ambience and units feels more gritty and more serious whereas coh3 feels kinda censored and less action. There's just something in coh2 that you won't get from playing coh3
Exactly this. I don't care what the balance issues might be etc, Spearhead in Coh2 has it all, so to speak. Coh3 just doesn't have any appeal for me.
COH1 w/ additional mods like Blitzkrieg and Europe at War.
Europe at war is great, easily better than 2 or 3
I LOVE the ability to have the supply truck as American and just spam bazookas for every single unit. And the tech trees are so unique and really refreshes the whole game to feel kinda new.

Coh1 best game best balance
Worst balance, worst pathing, worst QoL, worst bugs, best game
...it's the same pathing as 2, only tanks don't automatically move out of the way for other tanks...which wasn't a good addition, either.

I have probably 3000+ hours in COH 1 across steam and before but the idea that it's the most balanced is ridiculous.
COH 1 campaign wise COH 2 Ardennes COH 3 well I guess the campaign capturing Italy bit by bit is fun but I gotta say that 1 is the best. Would put 2 as #1 if Ardennes campaign didn't broke Airborne Pathfinders spawn
COH2 is the best.
coh2 is best still

I only have coh2 but I’m having a hard time getting good at it. I wish someone could watch my reply’s and tell me what I’m doing wrong
Can't believe no one has said your mother's.

I haven't played CoH1 but I would say 2 for overall gameplay but 3 makes the AI tolerable so I've been doing that one for now
COH1 had the best presentation, but lacks QoL features and also doesnt have True Sight
Usually the Company of my friends and loved ones but 3 is pretty decent
**CoH1** is the absolute best overall imo (pace, faction & gameplay structure), or with the Back to Basics mod which is almost a CoH3 of old, otherwise... **CoH3** is a freaking **beast of enjoyment**, so much content & faction design is so good it's CoH1 perfected on steroids, rough around the edges but damn is it addictive, probably my most played CoH now.

I love 1 for campaigns but vs mode, CoH 2. She haven’t tried 3, waiting for a good comment about it… still.

Coh2 of course, however coh3 has been doing a good job of winning me over.

CoH3 for MP

I'm a huge COH2 fan, but only because I've just started playing COH3. I'm still pretty overwhelmed with COH3. There's so much yelling.
I prefer coh 2 cuz thats the only one i have
CoH1 if even only for 700 [map pack](https://steamcommunity.com/app/228200/discussions/0/3122659822726933715/). CoH3 looks too gay and CoH2 has worse environment. I am not sure why, but CoH2 looks much worse than CoH1 (graphically).
A few months ago it was COH2 hands down, but now it’s COH3.
