Windows Company of Heroes 2 announced - It's time to get very excited

you have to sign in then click on each lock icon to unlock them by entering your key.

i think it's time to actually play that CoH i rebought on Steam........

 

I hope they allow you to zoom out a bit, I always found playing COH that I was far too zoomed in to be able to see what was going on on the battlefield.

 

or do what sup com did and allow you to have the minimap on a 2nd monitor

that would kick ass

 

Thanks, I understand now , that's how mine looks (except fully unlocked and en anglais)

I have black bars surrounding my screen when in the main menu and in the game though, despite setting the res to 1920x1080 (my monitor's resolution). Anyone know why this might be?

 

For those who are missing any of the games or want to see what the fuss is about Steam have it 80% off this weekend:

COMPANY OF HEROES 2 DETAILS


Company of Heroes 2 takes the fight to the snow-filled fields of the Eastern Front as players command the Soviet Red Army during the World’s darkest hour. It is the year 1941, and the forces of Germany have just begun Operation Barbarossa, as they push East to conquer Russia in what would become the costliest conflict of the war. It is up to you, commander of the Russian Red Army, to push back the Nazi invaders and free Mother Russia!

Company of Heroes 2 raises the bar of the standard in PC Real Time Strategy. Powered by the new Essence 3.0 Engine, Company of Heroes 2 features incredible graphic fidelity and cutting-edge technology. With the unprecedented new TrueSight™ system, fog of war is no longer a guessing game as unit visibility on the battlefield relies on true and proper line of sight.

The tactical and dynamic combat system that strategy gamers know and love from the original Company of Heroes returns, and now it’s bigger and better than ever. With the new Commander Abilities found in Company of Heroes 2, players will develop and utilize their abilities in intense new tactical warfare situations. Players will get to experience the up-close moment-to-moment brutality of the war on the Eastern Front through new Dynamic Battle Tactics.

One of the most intense and competitive online experiences returns with Company of Heroes 2 multiplayer! The vicious online combat that thousands of gamers enjoy every day with the original Company of Heroes is bigger than ever featuring competitive and co-operative modes that deliver the intense experiences that fans have come to expect.

 

These are the best bits for me, can't wait for proper engagement distances and such, for I'm not a fan of fog of war...

Also, Eastern Front!

 

I prefer the eastern front!
And some more news: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/22/company-of-heroes-2-small-changes-big-differences
Looks like there are are a couple of awesome new features being added that change everything!!

 

Aaaand there's a film....

 

Not so sure about using Tom Sizemore, he died already i saving private ryan. I will probably as I have wasted so much of life playing the game.

 

its not wasted COH is an awesome game, especially with blitzkrieg mod / europe at war mods

might go for a game tonight acually ^_^ comp stomp is quite fun ( although me zin and cei almost got our butts kicked last time we played )

 

For anybody who doesn't know. Get CoH 1 + all expansions at www.humblebundle.com in the THQ bundle.

Pay $5.61 or above (Or around £3.80 in real money) and get the entire bundle

 

Lies, that game was in control the entire time! They were just pushing a bit hard in the middle that's all. Hence my hook on the right flank that ruined their day.

 

yeah an my awesome base defences
2 AT guns, 2 snipers 2 morters 3 M18s and a Calliope ^_^

 

*pre-purchase gets beta access, which is released shortly after new year.

*new trailer and footage coming next week.

 

Currently playing the alpha. Very impressed but NDA'd.

 

New multiplayer trailer.

 

Not a particularly amazing trailer (in my opinion)
But the game is looking good, and I recently got all of the CoH games on steam in the THQ Humble Bundle so I'll be getting in the mood
