Comparison with COTA

Command Ops: Battles From The Bulge takes the highly acclaimed Airborne Assault engine back to the West Front for the crucial engagements during the Ardennes Offensive. Test your command skills in the fiery crucible of Airborne Assault’s “pausable continuous time” uber-realistic game engine. It's up to you to develop the strategy, issue the orders, set the pace, and try to win the laurels of victory in the cold, shadowy Ardennes.
Command Ops: Highway to the Reich brings us to the setting of one of the most epic and controversial battles of World War II: Operation Market-Garden, covering every major engagement along Hell’s Highway, from the surprise capture of Joe’s Bridge by the Irish Guards a week before the offensive to the final battles on “The Island” south of Arnhem.

Comparison with COTA

Post by moet »

If I compare the list of features of BFTB and COTA, I read a lot of "enhanced features" and "new codes".

I don't own COTA, but I'm interested to know how the player can see the differences between the two games. In what concrete situation can we notice the "better IA", the "better route findings", the better "formation movement code" or the "advanced force allocation algorithms" ?

I certainly don't have sufficient experience or deep knowledge of both games to answer this, however if you have a look at this thread it should at least partially answer your question.

What I do know is that I've had more 'ain't that cool' moments watching my BftB units move than I did with CotA ... and hopefully it'll get better [;)]

I played COTA for around two years after it's release, and I only came across this by noticing the screenshots were the same. I'm buying ASAP but am wondering the same. COTA was (is) hell of a game though!
