Company of Heroes

[Tagger]

Has anyone tried this game out? A friend at work just bought it and is in love with it. I'm thinking about checking it out.

Here's the website http://www.companyofheroesgame.com

If anyone has any experience with the game, please post.

heh, yeah...

it's farking brilliant.

I've been playing it slowly (2142 has got me hooked a little too much.)

But I just finished the "Destroy the V2 Rocket Facility" mission and now I'm on "Hill 809" or whatever.


it IS beautiful, tho... here, let me break the Hscroll.)





nice to see there's another RTS fan here.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm seriously considering adding this one to my RTS collection. Ever since highschool, I've been interested in anything WWII.

I use to play Squad Leader on those fold out mapboards with the little chits. I loved that stuff.

Now, it's only a question of my graphics card. I'm currently running a 1.8AMD (forgot the buss speed) processor. But, it's better than most Pentiums in that range I think. I've got 2G RAM. I'm burning up all my spouse-credits really early in the year already. I hope I don't have to upgrade the PC for this, lol.

it DOES demand a bit of juice.

You can zoom in so far and watch the action up close... it's great.

and everything is full of sick detail. Down to the mine flails on the front of the tanks (which you can add, if you need them.)

Yes, I played the Demo....just waiting for it here on base. But it is a great game! Worth the money I think.....man, there are just to many games to play.....

This has reached a very serious stage......sillysmile

I have no choice now but to follow through on the Whirlpool Quiet III instalation I promised my wife last fall. I checked my account and have found my spouse-credits to be somewhat lacking. bigcry2

Turns out that having a tower system installed just for online gaming is more expensive than my original estimate.

[Chenzo]

lol

plus there's multiplayer, you know? I'm not a fan of RTS multi, but there's a MASSIVE base of people playing it.

This game is fantastic every aspect of this game is awesome. I am also a C&C fan so I am in to these sort of games and the addition of a WWII touch made it so much better.

PS: The graphics are WICKED! toothysmil

LOL.... lemme know when you started playing it.

I gotta get back to it and atleast finish the next mission.

Altho, I hate those 'timed' missions. You only get 55 minutes to take hill somethingsomething.

Went to Best Buy at lunch. Strange thing happened.....some guy with a heavy breathing problem tried to bar the door. I stomped a new hole in his arse.

After clearing security, I snagged a copy and paid $5 out of pocket (after using all my rewards coupons).

It's my birthday, got my game, yea!dancingban dancingban dancingban

Chenzo, after getting a few scenarios under my belt, I'll give you a shout for some online action.

[Chenzo]

heh, ok...

I SUCK at mutli-RTSs but I'll give it a go.

[Tagger]

If not, cool. I'm really just excited at the prospect of online gaming period - I don't even care if it was a game watching paint dry. Lemme know if you ever wanna give it a go (CoH, not watching paint dry, seriouslyretardsmil ).

[Chenzo]

SO have you installed and played it?

The first mission was fun, but the SECOND one's where it gets full of awesome.
