[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;38660805]A huge part of the Pacific Front was Naval and Aerial battles and raids, which you can't do in CoH which is based around small scale engagements.[/QUOTE]
Yeah and the battles that did take place on land were brutal drawn out events, which I don't really think that is a thing you can emulate well with a RTS game (especially on that scale).
just bought 3 COH games from humblebundle.
doesnt look like any kind of game ive played before but looks pretty neat.
anxious to try it out
never played an RTS before..?
Looks great, will buy this for sure. Don't care about the engine.
I wish other major powers would be drawn in like Japan.
[QUOTE=Polaco202;38657057]Kind disappointed that it's eastern front. Like everyone else has said it just looks like the eastern front mod with some tweaks.
What really irritates me is this shit.

I can only choose 1 of those tanks and then know that i'll never be able to play the other 2. It's not like they're obscure tanks either. It's between the KV-1, Tiger 1 and a T-34? I just really think this preorder things are really getting out of hand.
And that's only for the regular retail version, if you want what seems to be a variant of the stug you need to buy the digital collectors edition from shopTHQ.
I'm paying the full game price, I should get the full game.
Just looked on the steam store and it says something about XP and Unit boost
"Company of Heroes 2 Commissar Chest*
In-Game Currency Gift to be Used Towards Purchasing Future Content
XP Boost
Unit Boost
Commander Archetype"
More unbalance between players. More fragmented player bases.
I loved CoH1, but I hate pre-order things a lot more. All these pre-order bonuses tell me is that they have no faith in the actual gameplay and reviews they are going to get so they are trying to rake in as much money as possible from the start. (Yes I know THQ is on the verge of bankruptcy But 3 different pre0order bonuses is stupid)[/QUOTE]
Those tanks aren't pre-order bonuses. You will be able to use them in game. The Pre-order bonus is the texture on them, you get the German Rotbraun and Russian Leningrad Pattern Bundle which gives Two Medium Weight Vehicle Patterns. They don't mention anything about the KV-1 or Tiger 1 and there is a picture of a Stug on the steam page as a pre-order bonus pattern.
I expect the XP and similar things means the game is going to have multiplayer similar to how CoH: Online was.
It looks a lot better if you compare it to original company of heroes videos.
The only parts that look bad are where the camera is really really close, but you can tell the lighting, models, environment, etc are a lot better than the original in the other parts.
Who cares, more COH.
I would've been OK if it was another expansion, really.
Any word on how the gameplay mechanics will be? I know they are going for a Men of War-style field of view for units, but what about tanks and such? Still going to have health bars?
