COMPANY OF HEROES 2

I bought the game over the weekend, I must say I am not impressed. No anti-tank or MG nests... I much prefer the original with Blitzkrieg mod, I prey Blitzkrieg saves CoH2.
 
Anyone fancy joining up for a few games sometime?

Was pretty active in COH and enjoying the beta so far :)
 
GMG25-FHALS-8SG7H

25% off at Green Man Gaming (not sure if it's for all games, or just this game)

Just got it for £30
 
As a huge coh fan since it first came out I am not sure what to make of this beta it somehow feels like a step down fom the original game.Cant put my finger on why I think it's not as detailed nor has all the neat little touches coh1 has ?
 
I've only played two skirmishes versus the CPU so I can't really comment on the gameplay, but the GUI is horrible in my opinion. Everything has been made really cartoony and the information bar along the bottom takes up approximately 1/3 of my view. I do like the notifications which pop up on the left hand side though, warning you of various things such as mortar bombardments and units entering the battle. I'll have to play a bit more but right now I feel like I spend half the time scrolling into a position where the camera is semi useful due to the massive obstructions of the GUI. The information about the history of your units and the information about selected buildings would have been better presented as a mouse-over, or as a separate codex type thing in the menu, instead of being ever-present in the bottom centre, in my opinion.

Agreed, after a few games it seemed like CoH + snow + horrible UI. Also the camera is way too close to the battlefield, makes me feel a little claustrophobic.

CoH + Blitzkrieg mod is 10x better than CoH 2
 
Give it a few games I've been critical of the ui etc too but I'm level 11 playing online 2v2 and I'm really enjoying it. Its a larger more loose game than coh 1. You have more space on the battlefield
Tanks have longer range. You can steal abandoned enemy tanks!!

Coh is tighter more constrained so easy yo lock down areas with mg42 or bren carrier volks down. Coh 2 is different.

It does need tyding up a bit and more people on 2v2 so get on it!
 
Panther's are crazy strong. Can out gun anti tank guns and any Russian tanks, nothing seems to beat them
