I have a good computer.

There are a lot of minor bugs.

Some of them are even silly, like a problem where the melee weapon became affixed as a bayonet to all weapons, the Engineer class has a shovel melee weapon. The engineer whipping out their sidearm pistol has a shovel attached to the front that lengthens the weapon by about 80%.

There are major bugs. Matches being broken and kicking you out. Crashes to desktop in the middle of a match. Social settings being broken and making cross play difficult. Etc.


Overall I am having a lot of fun. And it doesn't feel like dribbles of fun that im constantly seeking out while being blue balled by bugs constantly. I can consistently get two hours of good experience for every game breaking type bug I encounter.

That kind of bug experience is just not acceptable for a lot of steam users. I don't really blame them for that opinion. Its just not my opinion.

You'd have to ask yourself how much you are bothered by problems in a game. If you feel you are easy going and might laugh off minor issues, and easily get past major issues then I'd say the game is great for you. If major bugs infuriate you, then definitely skip this game.

Company of Heroes 2- arguably top 5 games of all time, IMO - required you to restart the game every 2-3 matches or else you'd get a crash from a memory leak. Matches were sometimes an hour long, and down to the wire when they'd blow up. They didn't patch it for 6 years I think and I still played a ton.

So, hopefully I'll be able to join you guys for a game here.

A lack of major bugs would be unfaithful to the source material.
