  • I've created an essential guide for all new COH2 recruits. Whether it be to play the game or to watch/understand it, this guide covers everything you need to know on a gameplay level!
    If you like the video, please share it with other like minded people :)
    After my last COH2 video I thought I should train you guys up!

    Everyone's always making videos about the basic mechanics of games, but no one ever makes a video of how to actually WIN the game. What I'd want to see are the actual tactics and the "correct" order in which to build things at the start of the game, and what the enemy will try to do and how you counter that.

    • @RepublicOfPlay
      @RepublicOfPlay  Před 5 lety

      It's too complex that's why. The amount of variations and possibilities are endless, you'd be forever countering your own arguments. This is a beginners guide, sounds like you're looking for intermediate or advanced, but you'd almost need a guide for every unit and every situation. There are some dedicated COH2 channels out there, but they also patch the game every 3-4 months with big balance changes.

    • @rangergxi
      @rangergxi Před 8 lety

      The balancing is warped because of the various player modes, 1v1, 2v2, etc. OKW the "late game giant" is able to match SU man for man and usually is able to bring out high quality tanks quite early on in gamemodes other than 1v1. The US and OKW really throw off balance and so have quite a few rules attached to them in tourneys.

    • @RepublicOfPlay
      @RepublicOfPlay  Před 8 lety

      +Hat21 Yeah I can see why that might be valid. Lately over the xmas period I played many 2v2,3v3,4v4 games and would win some and lose some but never felt the enemy were OP, I only played as British, and beat players with max rank and small ranks etc. I was pleasantly suprised by the last couple months of gameplay. Haven't tried 1v1's in a long time though.
