that looks good, im going to have to get it at some point...
thanks for sharing that

 

is that going to come out for any game systems, ps3, xbox360? etc.

 

I think it'll be alright.

I can't stand all these WWII scenarioed video games coming out with you portrayign either a Airborne Paratrooper or a Ranger, it sickining. I mean for crying out loud how hard is it to make a WWII video game where you fight in scenarioes as a regular ole' infantryman?? They did most of the fighting anyways why not honor them for once, ya know?

As for me, I refuse to play these games until someone comes out with a game based on the regular infantry...not these so called "elite" units...pfff...

Well other than that. The game it's self..does look good.

I'm pretty sure it's not being released for console games. YOu never know I guess tho

 

It looks good, but i like more FPS games

 

It's just a RTS, with a WWII aspect.

It's really good in the RTS family, it has most of the gameplay of the previous RTS released by the same editor (Dawn of War serie), adding breathtaking graphics.

People who like RTS should really try this one, because it's one of the best on the market.

But still, it's a RTS, it lacks any kind of realism and is far from being a simulation (although they added some interesting features,like tanks have better armor in front than behind)

I am really looking forward this one, which looks like a real time WWI tactical simulator : http://simhq.com/_land2/land_055a.html

 

I got Company of Heroes. I like several features it has that other RTS dont have.

For instance, each soldier in the squad thinks individually. They will spread out to find cover behind walls, wrecks, rubble, slopes, and the like. Pretty intelligent. When you have a squad occupy a building, they dont just all stay on one side of the house. They spread out, covering all approaches. If the house has been damaged, then some of them will take cover in the holes or rubble. When attacking a house, nothing beats watching it take more damage from grenades and other weapons. If a house takes enough damage, from big enough weapons, it will become completely destroyed and even block roads, which adds another element to the game. Infantry squads can also be equipped with Sticky Bombs.

Vehicles can take all sorts of damage. The gunner can be killed, disabling the gun. Engines can be damaged, causing the vehicle to run out of control and crash into something, causing it to blow up and send bodies flying. All sorts of things like that. The game seems to combine elemets from games like Combat Mission (where such things occur in the turn-based combat) with RTS games.

I also like how vehicles can be upgraded. I like how that one tank can have the spinning contraption on the end of it to blow up mines safely, yet also be used to chop up any unfortuneate infantry that get too close.

And the enviroments are totally destructable. And for supplies, you have to capture little zones and make sure they connect all the way back to your base. Which adds a new thing to combat - cutting off the supply line.

 

that game looks great, i will definatly go out and buy it sometime the trailer makes me want to get it more

 

buying it tomorrow !

 

one thing to say here: the game is AWSOME!

PS. you spelt it wrong

 

You do play as the normal Infantry-70% of the missions you play as Able company infantry people thingys

 

Hehehe...I just see that now. I didn't spell it wrong..just typed it wrong

 

This game is just the best ever. (I am a fanatic for it) A sequel comes out soon, called opposing fronts, you can play as the British around Caen or the germans in Holland in 1944.

 

Yeh it does look good only problem is its comin out in september BUT and this is a big but spore is comin out a month before evryone will be on about that and forget about coh opposing fronts

 

Just read that the next part called "opposing fronts" let´s you play as the Germans. It seems every "Hans" has a panzerschreck and playable are Königstiger and Jagdpanther.

Company of Heroesâ„¢: Opposing Frontsâ„¢

 

The King Tiger is available for the regular whermact (the one in the Original game, it was playable in multiplayer) instead of the Tiger ace. The Jagdpanther is available in the tank destroyer doctrine, but only one per game. If it is destroyed, there is no more!

 

I have the game and it gets 5-stars in my book. Excellent gameplay with different enemy strategies all the time. For all the platform gamers out there, there's a game by the same company, Relic Entertainment, called The Outfit. I don't know what systems or how good it is, but the graphics looked quite similar. I don't think it's a strategy game, but I've been wrong before!

 

The only reason games are focused on "elite" units is because almost all the public wants is the daring, out-of-the-norm type missions. That's why SEALs, paratroopers, and spies are great starting characters for games.

 

The game(s) are fantastic. From what I understand, their goal is to release a new expansion title for it every year (Opposing Fronts came out 13 months after the original). Rumor has it they will do Eastern Front next time around. Although, I'd love to see the Pacific war...
