Hi, ive preordered this stonking game from amazon, and Im wondering what the release date is? some websites think the 14th, some think the 29th? I want this thing in my mitts friday!
company of heroes uk release date?
- Thread starter spacegrass
- Start date
Yeah 29th UK
Played the demo lastnight, a hefty 1,8gb dload (thank god for 10mbit)
Initial thoughts - beautiful grpahics amazing detail, good single player but multiplayer??? Hmmmmm
You can see the Dawn of War influence Relic used.
If it wasnt a ww2 genere i was thinking to myself would i even bother playing this? (i lub ww2 theme games)
Still all that said, bring on the 29th
4vs4 etc could be serious fun, but 1vs1.... i think would be slightly poop.

kola said:Do u think this spec would play it ok @ 1024*768
2600 Athlon, 512 Ram , 9700 Radeon .not my PC my dad's
My system is this
512 ram
Celeron D 3.06
Nvidia 5500FX 256mb
It runs perfectly fine at 1024*768
You will have no problems, youi will just have to have settings on low.
Anyone know the Australian Release date?
I've preordered this 
However had some thoughts about it.
COH (RTS) Vs Suddenstrike 2 (RTS).
Strip both games of graphics and Suddenstrike 2, comes out better playability wise imo. In COH you cannot hold fire in a building to setup ambushes, you can not set the layout of troops in a building. Battles are more build and rush to choke points in coh.
Suddenstrike 2 is bigger and battles are more messy, especially stale mate situations and moving units.
Graphic wise COH wins and the strategic points and being able to manufacture units is a bonus, I am still buying it for all its worth and flaws as SS2 struggles abit on XP.

This was really laggy last night on the beta servers. How is it now?
I pre-ordered the game too, shame I will be on bloody holiday when it arrived at my house 
*sigh*
I tried the beta server last night too, unplayable. Lets hope they change that, but I have a feeling they may switch off resources to the beta now the game is released in the US... Was working fine before that
This game is very addictive and wonderful to play, certainly has my attention grabbed all the way through. Strategy wise, people will soon discover that just building a heap of tanks really will not get you very far at all.
The single player campaign demo is fantastic where you have 15 mins to plan your defensive before a huge onslaught of German panzers and troops come rushing through. Awesome!
I urge anyone to at least try the SP demo, its like a game in itself!

How sweet is that!!!!
OMG I want that boxset! There seems to be a collectors tin also (not that one) going on sale through a lot of Aus and NZ sites. Looks like we'll have to settle for the standard version here.

Like you I like the old WW2 theme so I will give this one ago. Have you tried the Faces of War demo yet as the game will be released this Fri. I sort of tried out the demo but could not figure out how to select invidual players & squads and I found the controls a bit wierd, so I gave up. I don't want to go off topic so I may just start a another thread.
