I played a bit of HOI 2 back in the day but as a now 'casual' gamer I am incredibly disappointed with it. Its been out a year, its still really expensive and there is SO much wrong with it. The controls are counter-intuitive as heck and really awkward and dysfunctional, and yet you still cant just do simple straighforward things (Send my planes to bomb THAT divison on THAT island, make my ships protect THAT troop ship). The battle plan system is fiddly and awkward, I spend 20-30 minutes sometimes trying to get all the arrows going from the rigth army to the right place, then you hit "go" and it NEVER works anyway, they all just wander around completely randomly and get themselves ground up.
But then none of that matters because you get to 1939 and the war starts and the other countries jsut do....nothing. all that big army with all that careful planning and research and you just walk in like they're not at the keyboard.
I honestly thought I'd missed a setting or was still in the tutorial mode or something until I found this forum. I can't believe its this sloppy, unless they have plan to patch it really soon I'm refunding it.
