COMPANY OF HEROES 2

The game has a steep learning curve and isnt forgiving for new players if they fight someone decent

I got FIFA from them and they were very good to be honest.

Think I'll leave it until it has rankings up and down and chat rooms etc

people are just gonna quit when it's a map they don't like etc with no consequence as there are no ranks etc.

so tempting at that price but running so low on HD space, what size is the install anyone ?

CoH 2 is terrible, avoid.

Barely any units, the commander trees are tiny, the tanks take way to much damage to destroy.

As arcady as an RTS can possibly get.

it's the same as CoH1. If you want a more real world experience try men of war assault squad, it's awesome.

I've never really been interested in CoH, but CoH 2 has really caught my eye. Unsure if I should go ahead and get it though.

TheMeekon · 25 Jun 2013 at 14:57

I'm enjoying it for the multiplayer.

Faster paced than COH1 I've found, can't dig in so well. To me its a different style of play to learn. For £24 thought it was alright, not the £40 on steam though.

Annoyances are no server browser, no stats and auto match has no real options so can't choose what map or mode you play.

As above really.

cheers!

As long as the campaign plays as good as the first and you can co-op in skirmish it will do me.

Tibbz2 · 25 Jun 2013 at 15:41

All I ever played in the first was single player skirmishes because the online never worked

I'll get this when it's cheaper because I'm crap at strategy games so will probably not get into the online

EdGey · 25 Jun 2013 at 16:23

It was £23 in the rain forest last night... damn missed it.

I played a lot on the beta and really enjoying it.. can't wait to get my hands on it now

Hopefully we'll see an expansion with the re-introduction of brits and americans for MP?

SmallestFrog · 25 Jun 2013 at 16:58

Its a fun game, but wow is it buggy. Wait for a patch.

johnny cass · 25 Jun 2013 at 17:10

I think I'm going to wait for the steam sale. Newish games may go down to £15. Patch will be out by then ftw.
