So it is coming finally, Its going to be set on the eastern front of WWII And will feature an enhanced cover system that can be vaulted by units, aswell as snow maps where the terrain, primarily being snow will slow units movements. They also say that snow can provide cover from fire that one I'd like to hear more about as its very vauge. It's only known so far that the main campaign will feature Russia vs Germany.

Edit: I am still unsure who's publishing it with THQ nearly being bust in that forum linked there's mentions of EA... If they do publish it and destroy it, many tears will be shed.

 

2nd Edit SCANS!

Buying

I'm keen!

But CoH with the EF mod looks to do the same...maybe not as pretty, but the same nonetheless...

well, theres some interesting details in it,

I will pick it up or give it more of a look into.

 

i think it be a good sequel

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw9hvR8ukFw]Company of Heroes 2 Teaser Trailer [HD] - YouTube[/ame]

just preordered mine on steam

Definitely getting this. One because it's CoH and two because showing the Eastern Front during wwII is always interesting.

10/10 will buy.

Considering the original still gets some playing time with the great mods it has i'll probably get this one.

 

Anyone read about modding for COH2? is it going to be able to be done?

Will wait for a new computer before I get this.

 

Was surprised my laptop could run the original fairly well, but I'm not so sure this one will work...

live in sydney ? go down to EB Expo 5th-7th at sydney showground

 

HUGE NEWS FOR AUSTRALIAN COMPANY OF HEROES FANS:

 

Not only is Company of Heroes 2 PLAYABLE at EB Games Australia's EB Expo next weekend, we also have 1000 BETA KEYS to give away!

 

We'll be giving away keys to the first 200 people to play the Company of Heroes 2 demo at the THQ booth each Expo session (5 sessions over 3 days), so make sure you swing by early!

Bought this on steam, the Bonus content from steam... ROCKS but only if enough people buy... still fairly awesome!

Ya, pretty sure Steam pre-orders get beta access + extra content on release

If anyone with facebook is interested, a beta key can be found here. (Anyone without could probably find it elsewhere with a little digging.)

Installing now.

Yeah me too, been seeing people in steam playing for a couple of weeks, didn't realise pre-orders had it, oh well I wasn't paying $90/130 for it anyways, not unless it came with a real damn tank especially with US base price being $60 still. Guess it will tide me over until its on sale for a reasonable price. Kinda annoying its through facebook though, my usual people i play CoH with won't be getting this if that's the case :\ will have to try and get them keys elsewhere

cdkeys.com has the game for $45.. thats where most people i know have been getting it.

 

Its a steam code for both the finished game and the beta.

So what's it like those who have tried it?

Its like the first one with a bit extra, as Shady said, if you like it on facebook you get a beta key

nda means you shouldnt talk about it

The mortars are such bs. Sometimes it feels like they are heat seeking missiles and then at other times they are as shonky as a wonky donkey.

If you have COH 1 installed on steam there is a new steam version but you can't transfer account, all DLC included, boots and loads faster. i bought mine through the humble bundle pack.
