Ah man Company of Heroes. That’s a community of a kind. Used to be involved with patching and mapmaking. Lelic.
As I remember it the issue with CoH2 that BadComedian (and others who groaned at Relics attempts to make a campaign) had was more that the Soviet campaign focused a little too much on the Soviet Union being bad and not enough on the whole Nazi Germany invading.
Which was an awkward thing because the CoH series was pretty politically whitewashed as far as WW2 can go.
So when you have this sort of sanitized germany invading, and the campaign is all “grr atrocities under Stalin” it just felt off. Whatever merits the story might’ve had, it just didn’t work for a series that easily could’ve stamped a “patriotic defense of the nation from an invader” on the campaign and then put much needed time on fixing the design flaws with the commander system.
(Tl:dr the campaign was garbage anyway and the devs shouldve focused on multiplayer)
