COMPANY OF HEROES 2

My first impressions of CoH was not great but it grew on me very quickly, same with the 2nd installment. Its not intuitive, your men are unable to do even the most basic of things but I know I will learn to be better. Its a little like life...
 
The game needs balanced still, I won 25 games as sov in a row today. So many noobs on here too even people at rank 67+ are pap.

Roll on when ranked gets started!

Poor germans though really need some love.
 
it must be quite hard to make a campaign that is engaging in a losing cause (certainly the first part I'm only on mission 5). It's not as engaging as COH1 or as atmospheric and i've encountered a couple of bugs that have been a bit ridiculous - an invincible soldier (mine) that took out the whole map and a artillery that never appeared dispite the warning.

it's ok so far, not as brilliant as the first.
 
Agree that this doesn't have the same immediate appeal as COH1 and it feels more like a fan based expansion rather than something they have had many years to work on.

It is a bit of a machine killer too - might stick this one on the back burner for a bit to see if it gets optimised or new drivers get released. Failing that I might wait for new hardware generations to catch up so I can play it at a decent framerate on my 1440p monitor as my [email protected] and GTX680 are struggling

I keep reading that it doesnt seem to be running very well on Nvidia hardware. Probably just needs an updated driver to be released. Its a shame about SLI / Crossfire support. Apparently it is supported but something with the cold weather system interferes with dual card configurations.
 
Interesting ill be at 1080p but i5 at 4.xx ghz. Are you running on max detail? I always get a replay and tweak settings with on screen afterburner fps counter and play with the settings until I hit my preferred fps. That includes fast scroll ing during intensive battles.

30fps with a 670 GTX FTW edition, i5 @ 3.4Ghz and 8GB ram...

at 1080p? What a joke, terribly optimised, the game looks like cack as well!

Old i5 or new i5?

What settings were you running in game.

I found this that should give a rough idea of performance but as I said earlier in the thread, Nvidia cards seem to under perform (despite their godly drivers :p)

Latest version (ivy? Or sandy, can never remember).

Either way, it makes mince meat out of 95% of games I throw at it, but this one, I have to turn off AA and physx entirely to get at least 45fps. It's silly.

It really has put me off playing.

I'm running a 6970 with an overclock and a 4.7GHz 2600K @ 1200p. From memory as I am at work, I'm getting around 50 - 60 fps most of the time, but blizzards tend to drop my fps to 30 - 35. Settings wise I think most things are set high, gameplay resolution @ 100%, physics set to medium and AA is either off or on a low setting.

Give it a few weeks and nvidia might release a new driver to improve settings. Even from the closed beta I've read people with nvidia cards not having great performance.

When I get home I will double check and post back.

One thing to check, are you taking the FPS figures from the in game benchmark or from actually playing the game. The benchmark doesnt use a traditional RTS view and tends to drop the fps a lot compared when in a birds eye view (or from my experience at least)
