Nice! Might be buying it, but I want hardcore reviews based on the real game not the beta. Games coming out on 12 Sept I think. Which is 2morrow! Weepee!

Looks good, the game play seems to be like RTS mixed with full spectrum warrior.

Actually, Airborne isn't a very good company, Infantry seems to be the most well rounded- with rangers that come with 2 AT soldiers armed with a bazooka..AT stuff is crucial in multiplayer, as a Tiger or Panther can whipe out basically anything. Airborne can do 57mm AT gun drops but it usually takes a while before you unlock that, and by the time you can afford to have enough of them it's too little too late.

Airborne is decent, however on large maps, but not for 2v2 sized maps.

I've played about 70 online skirsmishes so far and have to say that Infantry is definately the most powerful company

[goat89]

I like their hit and run tactics. Will try to 'rush' LOL. Really want to buy it. After we finish campaign, maybe we can host a MP.net only COH multiplayer? :)

[Ballistic]

Yeah this looks great. A definate buy for me.

[RomanS]

Guys PLEASE BUY more than 1 COPY of this game

THANK YOU

[Hypno85]

I got my beta key the other day played it today and loved it! i lasted for an hour against 3 people the other 2 on my team got destroyed! it ended up me fighting till all i had was a HQ which had 6 crocs burning it down!

Honestly the goodness that is this game wore off really fast, I don't play it anymore at all its a coaster.

Something oddly annoying watching a standard Sherman Tank duking it out with my Tiger, while shooting at frontal armour and having my tiger loose that just doesn't wash with me.

Its cool for a WWII ( done to death subject ) RTS, I would of liked a follow up to Dawn of War with the same game dynamic much more though, at least I cant be off put by the silly balancing that was created for this game, that in some aspects makes it far sillier then its Sci-Fi/Fantasy Preddessesor

can some1 say that again in plain language, cause i dont know what he means.

I just played the demo here and i love it but the skirmisch are rly hard, i dont know if ill buy it (i just played the demo for an hour or so) but even against a easy computer i loose.

the germans are so good in a ealry rush, the computer always places a sniper near my base killing the infantry (cause thats the only thing you have in the early 3 minutes). This is cause of the baracks of the allies wich dont support snipers, you need another building for that while the germans can build any infantry out of 1 baracks

[Johnny_H02]

For the Benefit of the slow, I shall translate.


Honestly the goodness that is this game wore off really fast, I don't play it anymore at all its a coaster.

What Mr._H was trying to say here, is that although the reviews are excellent and the graphics are certainly nice looking. He doesn't play the game that much and it has become a static inanimate object which has something normally on top of it which obscures it from vision....which for example resembles a coaster which is placed on a table so that the glass no doubt containing liquid does not leave a watery ring of condensation behind after the said liquid is consumed.

Something oddly annoying watching a standard Sherman Tank duking it out with my Tiger, while shooting at frontal armour and having my tiger loose that just doesn't wash with me.

In this paragraph Mr_H's message would be, that there have been multiple situations and scenarios where a Standard Sherman Tank with a low velocity 75mm gun came into contact ( had a fight with ) a Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. E Tiger I the said sherman would destroy it with a low velocity shell into the frontal armour of this tank which in reality would be quite impossible.

Its cool for a WWII ( done to death subject ) RTS, I would of liked a follow up to Dawn of War with the same game dynamic much more though, at least I cant be off put by the silly balancing that was created for this game, that in some aspects makes it far sillier then its Sci-Fi/Fantasy Predecessor

Wow how cryptic Mr._H really isn't getting his point across, perhaps he is speaking in a language other then English, which is against forum rules BAN HIM!!!!!!!

He states in his last paragraph, that World War II games have been made quite a bit over the last 10years. A massive amount of WWII games have been produced ..... and that they ( the developers of COH .. ooops Company of heros ) had made a previous game Dawn of War which took place in a Sci Fi realm. He says that if there were to be a follow up game to this he would not be angered or dismayed by unrealistic balancing such as "Tiger VS Sherman 1 on 1 = Sherman Pwns Tiger with low velocity shell "

I do aplogise for Mr._H's seemingly normal language which you had trouble comprehending, please if you have any further queries please direct them to www.whothehellcares.net (http://www.whothehellcares.net)

Thank you good sir
Please enjoy the show
