I've been thinking of picking it up.
Jesus, How many versions of the same dam game can be released... this is like the 10th one in the past 5 years..... So Sick of World War II games
Check it again....this one's RTS, not FPS. I'll get it if enough of us are playing, but I'm not the biggest RTS fan.
I'm downloading the Company of Heroes demo now. If I like it, I'll probably pick it up.
On a related note, I was going to buy Faces of War (sequel to the underrated Soldiers: Heroes of WW2). FOW is a similar RTS title with destructable environments. Here's a link to the demo that features two missions.
EDIT: I've been monkeying around with the CoH demo, and it's quite good, and offers a lot of content to try out. I'm not a fan of many RTS games, but I am thoroughly impressed, especially with the fantastic AI.
Got it and lovin it too!
I bought CoH today, and I'm looking for a multiplayer match or two if anyone is interested.
I'll probably pick it up on Monday. I'll definitely be taking some butt-whoopin' till I get my RTS legs back--I think the last one I played was Total Annihilation. :)
Let's do it, Fax. What's a good time for you tomorrow?
A 7pm est match would work for me. I'll to brush up on my RTS skills this evening for a bit to prepare.
Also, don't forget to patch up!
I forgot that I'm going to Sacramento today. How about tomorrow at the same time?
Sunday is no good for me. I can do Monday/Wednesday 9pm.
I'll likely have this by then--if 3-way or more battles work, count me in either/both Monday/Wednesday.
Checked it out browsing pc titles on friday and was impressed. Downloading the updated demo now. Sounds like a system cruncher! I dont want to commit to anything but i am enjoying bearing arms again on occasion so i may have a few hours here and there. :)
It runs shockingly well on my very average PC, even when there's a lot going on. I'm still enjoying this game, and I highly recommend it.
Yeah! i have this game as well it's a awesome game i really like playing it..
if you want link me up and we can have a big game going on
Ok i beat the demo and had that dam i wish it wasnt over feeling so i guess ill be picking it up asap! ;) Tons of fun for an RTS, very kewl.
Hey Guys I don't know if you remember me i played with you on BF1942 when it started, if you guys are ever on a server we can meet up.

I just reinstalled after formatting my gaming rig--the current patch version is 1.2, for the record.
Hey
I don't kno how many of you have CoH but if you like to get leveled in rank playing online i can help you out in that area?
Just picked up CoH tonight. I'll play as a diversion between my races. ;)
Awesome. Looks like we've got enough people for some large scale battles...
I was playing the single player through a little this weekend, and I finally won a 1000 point skirmish at normal difficult. I think this is a great game, but I'm finding it hard to learn all the little things such as wear you can place and build items, etc.Quote:

I usually play as the Axis in multiplayer skirmishes. A proven defense against air power is the 88 flak gun (available on the defense tech tree). The 88 will knock planes out of the air, and can punch holes in allied armor with ease. I also use Ostwind Panzers to round out my air defense, since they can shoot paratroopers out of the sky.
Yeah, I figured in multiplayer with real people it wouldn't work. I'd like to get on one night with you guys. I think 2 on 2 would be alot of fun.Quote:

But I'll definitely be around for Wednesday.
For the record, I usually play the Allies, and lose close ones to Fax. When I take a crack at Axis, it's sheer and utter pwnage. :cool:
Figures... I have races on both nights. ;) I have league events to run on Mon, Wed, Thur nights.Quote:

113 MB for the 1.2-to-1.3 patch--wow. I'd hate to see how big the 1.3 standalone is! Hopefully it'll have some new multiplayer maps or something--I love when developers include new content.
I believe I read that there was a new multiplayer map included.Quote:

$20 on sale at Best Buy, both CD and DVD versions. Available in store, or online for an extra $2.49 shipped. A great value for a great game. Enjoy!
Company of Heroes PC

Damn... I paid twice that for the "Collector's Edition". :eek:
I paid twice that for the standard edition. :eek:
Oh well, I've gotten at least $20 worth of entertainment out of it up to this point.
Time to buy a second copy to play multiple player with the kids`1
1.4 patch is out addressing minor gameplay glitches. THQ's site hasn't listed it yet, but you can get it here.
Thanks for the heads-up--I'm all patched and ready to play. Did you read the change log? Some funny stuff there. Apparently, in 1.3, light vehicles couldn't break through Allied barbed wire, but could crush the Axis tank traps...
If any one is interested in a match tonight, jump on ventrilo at around 9pm Est. Patch to 1.4.
