Back to Basics is a full conversion mod for Company of Heroes and its expansions. The aim of the mod is to create an environment that respects the nature of the original Company of Heroes gameplay, while enhancing its core features that put focus on tactics, proper decision making, and player skill. Along with new units, abilities, upgrades, and command trees, the mod features an entirely new weapon damage model and hitpoint dynamics, as well as brand new gameplay mechanics. Back to Basics AI is proudly unique and advanced. All AI systems have been worked on and improved, to the point of creating a completely new AI battle experience. The result is an AI opponent that can be challenging and unpredictable, while also being both fair and enjoyable to play against.
The mod is very realistic and the models are goodlooking.
This is worth trying. I enjoy it, and i'm sure, hundreds of people with me.
introduced many new features for original company of heroes, it's like a balanced version of COH2
You can see the rifleman squad harder to beat a Volk squad , even with BAR in any range , The early game become a damn grenade war . Then the AI side group more and more . The balance is ******* crap AGAIN .
Friendly unit won't give enemy a finish because they are establish a goddamn line ! And friendly also give half territory to the enemy there they are too strong in nunmbers . AI works stupied and just know how to spam .
I give up this mod and back to play the vCoH .
Very good mod with great graphics for those who think vCoH is a great game but needs some fixes.
Pros:
+ great new skins and models
+ cool new units
+ way better AI and handling
+ improved balance
+ compatible with single player campaign
Cons:
- balance still could use some work (especially allied infantry, Riflemen suck)
Takes what was great about Vanilla COH then enhances it and balances it more.
It's a fun, uncomplicated mod for those of us who still like the vanilla gameplay and don't want a complete overhaul of everything.
A few little AI issues, but aside from that a great mod
Edit: The main little issue I have is with the Whermacht Leutnant, where "V" is for both Supervision *and* Nebelwerfer strike, so often I have pounded my own base with rockets, instead of increasing the production time of a unit lol
9/10
vanilla++ mod.
more range
more realistic damage (but still have COH gameplay spirit)
more tactic in command tree choice
more balanced than the vanilla
few new units but not too much
nice artillery
very good AI
well thats how i feel about it.
still need some improvement and gameplay polishing
but what is important is fun, and this is alot of fun. especially vs the AI :)
Not extreme improvement, so not great just good
gooooooooooooood mod but get it in desura would be a tip
Gotta say, expected more from this mod. However, mod is not bad.
