World in Conflict or Company of Heroes

[Pelu]

Which one of this two games World in Conflict or Company of Heroes is better... for multiplayer...

 

[Maximilian]

I think company of heros is the best, ive had the most fun with it anyways but to be honest they are both excellent multiplayer games.

Company of heros if you enjoy complex strategy (or just tank spamming newbs) and are in it for the long haul (games can last from 10 minutes all the way up to 5 hours sometimes). Also its worth mentioning CoH has one of the best multiplayer interfaces ive ever seen, it has a lot of features and they are all easy to access, good stuff.

World in conflict for a quick pick up and play type game, thats fun as soon as you fire it up, no waiting around for a game. It uses the server model thing that games like battlefield 2 use, you join a server, pick your units and go trash the enemy. If you are good at the game you will have more fun as the better you are the more powerups you get (like nukes and nuke x3) which are a lot of fun to drop on the enemy.

Depends on what ya like really, like i said i enjoyed CoH more.

WiC is very fast paced and battles last the entire round without stopping for a minute. Battles are more spectacular overall because of the constant barrage of ordanance.

 

[Kromis]

CoH can rape your computer in DX10 mode.

But yeah, my vote goes for CoH.

 

[Dorkenstein]

One more vote for COH, I play it at least every night.

 

[Pelu]

wow.... sounds like CoH is much better than WiC

 

[Infohawk]

I've played both. Both are fun but COH is better with a better community.

CoH is a bit more of a 'real' RTS, where WiC has no basebuilding. It gets you into the action quicker, but, I've also found it less rewarding. Enemy's will just as easily respawn with fres supply's of new weapons. I also think that WiC can be frustrating if your team isn't working together well, especially if the other IS working together. Because alone you can't do jack, with tanks you'll get raped by air cavalry, but if you have a player with you that has AA support, you're good to go. In CoH you have everything under control yourself instead. Oh, and graphics wise, WiC is equally intensive if not more intensive. Both games look very good imo.

ok... after playing both i have to admit that CoH story development is much better lol... and in general CoH > WiC ... but, WiC is more Fragfest like lol... thats what i like of it at all... dunno if is becasue I only like UT3 in the FPS... pwning tons of mobs and so on, no wonder I get annoy when you take long to get rid of a single mob...

I haven't played either of the multiplayers, but COH single player is the best IMO. They both look great

I haven't played CoH, but I'm really enjoying WiC in single player. Haven't tried multiplayer yet, don't want to get pwned right away. CoH is next on my list of games to buy, but from what I've heard you can't go wrong with either.

COH is limited to 2 players in a multiplayer match, where World in Conflict can have up to 16 on a single battlefield. I find WIC much more fun and addicting.

COH = Superior single player
WIC = Superior multiplayer

The official website says 2-8 players, not 2. Is this incorrect?

MP has 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 depending on the map.

For me World in Conflict's quality resides in its single-player campaign, it is truly a spectacular experience to have, but the on-line and off-line skirmishes are somewhat lacking, I prefer to have base-building elements for such a purpose in a so called "RTS", and that WiC doesn't have any. So for on-line and off-line play, outside of the campaigns, I have to say that Company of Heroes is better.

Haven't had the chance to play WiC yet but CoH is a really great RTS. One thing as with all online games - 4v4 is a lot of fun but it has its problems of people dropping out and this is one game in particular where that can really hurt if the other side knows what they are doing.

If you have played Dawn of War, you will be familiar with the capturing nodes aspect. Oh and there have been some awesome moments in it (took out 6 tanks with a well-placed air bombing that ended what looked like a loss into a win )
