    I fancy another RTS game, the only one I've really played is Dawn of War Soulstorm and a bit bored of it now.

    The only other game I play is BFBC2 and occasionally BF2142.

    Anyone got any thoughts? I'm up for trying any really.

    Cheers.

    COH COH COH!

    Company of Heroes Online will be available in a few months, so if you can find a cheap copy of COH, it'll give you a good idea of what to expect.

    I remember it was as low as $5 for the gold edition at one point on D2D.

    +1 for Company of Heroes, it's gotten pretty cheap now as well.

    I also quite like Perimeter 2: New Earth.

    If you want the complete Company oh Heroes games then Steam has all 3 plus a lot more for a pretty damn reasonable price!

    Company of Heroes already is online and always has been?

    But yes, COH is the one to get :)

    Star Wars: Empire At War - it's on Steam for £3.74 for the next couple of hours and it's massive fun.

    So, downloading CoH and Star Wars EaW, 'cause they're cheap.

    yeah but tbh you're missing half the awesome by just playing the multiplayer only.

    Ah, sounds interesting. Are there any new features or will it just be a lite version of the retail?
