COMPANY OF HEROES 2

looks good but then coh still looks amazing too.

also i see in the screen shot, tank warfare at 30 feet again. i know its not a sim but in coh sometimes the tank ramming and blocking from behind is a tad off. the tanks themselves barely have the range of an mg42...

or another way to look at it is that a pzfaust has a range of 35 and a panzer iv range of 40..
i understand balance and fun but was hoping fora slightly rangier affair this time.

To be honest in terms of balance that was the least of the problems for me the US Sherman was way over powered given that a Tiger could take out 3 Shermans before a Sherman could get into a positikn where it could attack the rear of a Tiger.

Do you mean underpowered?

I find it hard to imagine 3 Shermans going down to a Tiger (even at 3 Vet) without being able to move itself into a better position (unless you are not micro'ing enough). Upgraded gun Shermans will hurt the Tiger, especially 3 of them at the same time.
 
the effects of flame against snow and buildings etc is immpressive but i hope to god the dont make the game based purly on speacial effects. that isnt what coh is all about

I was talking about in terms of balance compared to what it would be in a sim game (which COH is not). In that regard the Sherman is massively overpowered, I can't help but feel that it was made that way to satisfy patriotic US gamers.

i think he means in real life 3 Sherman would not get close enough to a tiger to do that. but in coh as its hp bars not 1 hit kill the Sherman can maneuver around better to flank easier.

i play a lot of close combat and in that my tanks certainly never get close enough to the enemies tank to circle strafe it..of course im not saying coh should be that much more like a sim but sometimes id prefer a bit better scaling of weapon ranges.
 
I was about to pre order this but then I realized there's still no gameplay video... what's going on? £40 for pre order and no gameplay as of yet, what are you hiding Relic? What are you hiding indeed.
 
dont like what they are doing with all these different pre order skins, im not a believer of holding back stuff reguardless of how little and hopefully you can buy them on the side, but it appears they are doing the pointless DLC stuff too :/

obviously COH1 was amazing, best rated RTS of all time on metacritic i think, i still play the first one but in my opinion im just a bit worried about if they change the formula to make it easier for the mainstream. if they keep the formula the same this game is be amazing, i preordered it in faith anyway even if THQ did ruin dawn of war for me.

i think even a vet 3 tiger takes 3 shots to kill a sherman with 3 direct hits, it might be even 4 direct hits, we can 1v1 online and test it out if you like and ill play allied armor :)

I'm still worried they'll pull an EA and rip the guts out of it, make it F2P and charge heavily for DLC.

well i doubt it will go F2P because they are selling the game already on preorder :D but i also share your worry's COH was a masterpiece in my opinion because it was a well balanced game, if they lower the skill level the game will suck, all these leveling, xp, achievements etc are totally un-needed, just shows they are edging closer to that dark road of easy mode.
