The company’s five internal studios are developing games aligned to several of THQ’s key franchises, including the upcoming launch of UFC® Undisputed™ 3 and Darksiders® II, as well as Company of Heroes, inSANE, Saints Row, Warhammer 40,000, and the new title from Patrice Désilets and his team.
[...]
THQ will discuss its new streamlined business model that reflects this strategy in more detail on its third quarter 2012 conference call scheduled for Thursday, February 2, 2012.
Look what I found guys :P :
http://www.gamereplays.org/companyofheroes/portals.php?show=news&news_id=860786
Any authenticity to this? Anyone think THQ will actually develop a new faction that could alter the COH gaming field or are they just blowing smoke and are going to release another stupid TOV ::)
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD

Feel free to post an announcement of you like.
Ahh, well how come he hasn't posted here in ages?
Might be wishful thinking. If DoWIII is anything to go by, a free-to-play type game supported by micro-transactions, CoH2 will most likely be the same. It could work, you never know, but personally the prospect of having micro-transactions in game bugs the fuck out of me. It'll no longer be about skill, just who has the most money to burn.Likely will make CoH from the third person(face) or from the first person. ;D
...I'd rather be reading patch notes and doing more shoutcasts rather than reading some useless shit about SOPA or CoH2.
indeed
im worried about the inet future. SOPA is realy dangerous :(
@robotnik
i realy realy REALY hope CoH2 will not be like CoH:O
but plz dont get me wrong, coh:o had some nice ideas
i would like to have customization in coh2
but not with heroes...
the heros shit was pretty crappy :D
It is said the servers will shut down by March

I hope its like SC2 for Starcraft.You mean:
Starcraft2 did add only slightly more units to the factions, bug fixes,... . It mostly improved the graphics. Thats what i want for coh2 too.
Ofc the Worldbuilder would be very happy about some new objects aswell ;)
...I'd rather be reading patch notes and doing more shoutcasts rather than reading some useless shit about SOPA or CoH2.
Because of SOPA your shoutcast would become illegal and you could be fined and face jail time for them, not to mention they'd be deleted.
Now unless I've been misinformed, the balance was already done 100% a while ago, with no further changes needed. Someone must be wanking.
[...] Someone must be wanking.Undoubtedly this is something I won't want to hear, it is ugly indeed but no where near of a "fact". If the patch is delayed everyone should suspect what are the reasons behind it, especially if everyone knows that we were working to release the patch at Eastern Front anniversary.
I'm not here to nag. Do I sound a bit over-aggressive? Probably, but that's just the way I am. But the truth is, I'm just stating the ugly facts that no one wants to hear. Someone has to do it.Here's another ugly fact you might not want to hear: You don't pay these guys by the hour and probably haven't even made a donation. So the truth is, you need to fuck off.

I just hope the next CoH will have better modding support :).
No, it's not. It's taken years to get where we are now. Compare this to other games that are easily modded and have actual mod tools released by devs and the progress is extremely slow.

Something wierd happened today, I was looking around on the apple app store and discovered that THQ made the game for mac. But keep your pants on before you start nerding all over the keyboard. The game includes no skirmish or online multiplayer for some reason. Just thought I'd let everyone know.
OH MY FUCKING GOD :o
Good news every one. ;D
THQ are started making a COH 2, and guess what - it's with soviet. ;D
Only one bad news which is that it first comes in 2013. but then we can just play some more eastern front while we wait. ;D

I hope that CoH 2 will be not like the Dawn of War 2. Anyway for now it looks pretty good.
New Feature called "True Sight" You can only see what your units see.
I really hope they don't just rip off this mod :-\
I hope CoH2 will bring a worldbuilder - then I'll be the first to try it ;D

The tractor from the original reappears in its old shape :D :D
BTW that German tank looks pretty much like a Panzer III..
Nope....its the same Pz4 model as in vCOH...not changed(no extra details and same down to the J type exhausts) apart from the colour scheme which is white :)
Which brings up the very interesting point of...can you import all vCOH models into COH2 so you can play the same vCOH in the Essence 3 engine? No need for re-modeling and re-animating what has already been created for COH?
What a year.. CoH2, GTA V.. ;D
might piss people off [...] like some seem to be doing over EF. (http://community.companyofheroes.com/forums/company-of-heroes-2-discussion/topics/I-have-to-express-my-excitement)
To me, that's just a slap in the face for those who made the EF mod and is essentially redoing lots of hard work that went into it. And no. I'm not one of the devs of that mod. I'm just someone who enjoys COH but finds this decision to be a bit boneheaded to say the least.
Hitman Absolution, C&C Generals 2, SimCity 5, Wasteland 2, Splinter Cell Retribution... Anchorman 2. 2013 is a good year, but fuck, I'm going to be broke by 2014.
There is coming a Wasteland 2 !? Well put peanut butter on my owl and call me Freddy! Praise the lord! <3

Then again, no matter how much you want the patch to be released right now, that we stop working on whatever we are doing right now to finish it ASAP, it ain't going to happen. Real life is always priority, so no matter if the patch is 200% ready, it will need to wait a little longer until someone has some free time to pack it up. That's the general rule of EF and any other mod.
Looks more cold imoXD hilarious. ;D
It's there. Awesomeness 8)
1st official trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5j0cBqhm3A)
He will always be Danko to us :D
too old to be a brother, only make sense if his family has about 10 brothers and sisters
Far too much realism for my taste. Sounds like crap to me :'(.
From all I read - flamers can burn tank crews ; tanks can go under the ice .... I will not build tanks in CoH2 ;D
I think that are campaign features not MP features.

Now ppl are just going to wire the ice with demolitions and blow it when its convieniant. LIke a bridge
Burns Danko.
So perhaps calm down and think things through a bit, perhaps take time to read some more articles ?
You might actually want to read some of all those previews as you're rather spouting a bunch of half-truths.
And i find the idea that people will just wait at the ice with a solitary unit just to shoot at it in case something crosses it to be a bit silly :P "Oh Hi Fritz, yes you just cross the ice. What all of these grenades and munitions here ? No, i wouldn't throw that over the ice.. Surely not, and this campfire indicating i have been waiting here all the time ?.. No.. that's for my brother Boris and his mortar crew. Yeah i know it looks silly, but why don't you cross the ice instead of just going around it ? Nothing's going to happen here. I promise !"
Usually you only hear about multiplayer and all that. But the people who just play singleplayer are far from a minority. I believe that was more his point :)
Yes, in fact, somebody mentioned that fact a bunch of times in this very thread, CER10TY...
Well just weather in general can effect troops. At least thats what I thought. Maybe it is just snow.
Afaik there's only snow in CoH 2 as possible weather which can evolve into snowstorms and all that. Seems like an interesting thing.
Replying to Apemen:Its clearly a stugIII if you know your tanks ;). The PzIV, Panther Tiger tanks look to have the same models as vCOH and there is even a wreck of a recently destroyed Sdkfz250. It's interesting to see that tanks like the T34 have different skins/stowage although the question is how that is controlled. As for uniform colours, the pre-release vCOH pictures showed many differences to the released product, so I'd wait till we see the final ones.
The StuG could be a III or a IV, we cannot accurately tell from this picture. That means that it could very well be the same model as the CoH StuG (like the other German vehicles will probably be). Also, the gray-top troops in the first picture are seen exclusively wielding kar98s. However, in the second one, they are seen with a mixture of kar98s, mp40s, and what looks like either a PzB39 or an MG34. This is in contrast to the brown-tops, who are not present in the first picture, and present in the second only wielding kar98s. This leads me to believe that the brown-tops may well be the new volks (tier 1 infantry), while the gray-tops are the gren replacement (tier 2) and can purchase weapon upgrades.
lets take a look what the new pics tells us^^
(http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/122/1225779/company-of-heroes-2-20120816052754055-000.jpg)
we see in the front a german stug III
around the stug there are many german solders (i think they are the main inf of relics ostheer)
so lets call them for now landsers^^
behind them are 2 panzer IV
but when you look in front of the first panzer IV there are on the left and the right something that looks like an officer
maybe a new 2men squad? or an upgrade for existing squads? we will see XD
(http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/122/1225779/company-of-heroes-2-20120816052755483-000.jpg)
what we see here?
first of all we see one of our nice big cats XD an ostheer panther :D
what we see next?
2 kind of axis soldiers
the ones on the front with k98, the ones at the right side looks like close combat units with mp40
Is that suppost to be like.. Furr collars? Look weird ;S And panthers? I thought it would be 1941 ?

Snipers (Team of 2) cloak like Fallschrimjägers
Yay, finally we get back our 2men sniper team xDQuoteSnipers (Team of 2) cloak like Fallschrimjägers
Oh joy...
So basically they're trying to duplicate some of the major mistakes of 1.0 ::)
The Sniper-team was never really broken. The only problem was, that only Soviets had them, while other Sniperz were single. As long as Axis and Soviets both get a Sniper-team in CoH2, I dont see any (balance-) problems.

As long as both factions have sniper teams...I don't know if this fixes the problem. Will there be a Spotter and a Sniper or 2 Snipers? If it is 2 Snipers, there is still something wrong with that.
Im sure its a spotter(http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/article/122/1225519/company-of-heroes-2-20120723044211426_640w.jpg)
You can put the reinforcement cost of the sniper team to being the actual "buy price", making it 1-1 in Cost VS Risk for a sniper/spotter combo vs single-sniper, for both persons. As long as you can ensure that the sniper in the sniper/spotter combo will always be favored as a target.
I swear this sounds like a total EF rip-off.
I feel like somebody robbed my campaign map... big city, railwaystation :P.
No he didn't - and AFAIK it won't be released until the campaign comes out ;)
I can't believe Relic is so dull to use the same fucking buildings for a new game! They didn't even care to create urban Soviet ones.. copy and paste of CoH1 basically. Very disappointing.
2 boxes behind that T-34! Why? Why they put those boxes there?vodka storage ;)
Disappointed by the lack of new urban world buildings... and the lack of new Axis units for that matter. 90% of their budget must have went on ColdTech which is probably just going to piss off competitive players and never be used anway, rofl.
Yeah, we should keep playing EF instead of CoH2 to avoid future butthurt like that gif guy :PQFT
Thats a trailer, not a gameplay video :P
Well looks like EF mod to me tbh

haha yes i 100% agree with you :D
and in the end i guess we have the better ostheer^^
Finally. Remember this was the pre alpha version, but setup looks like men of war to me. Im curious how long this youtube channel will be there.
would be amazing if they added ANZAC's and Japs in a DLC
Not sure if im gonna preorder it though, i'd prefer a physical collectors edition more than a digital one.

There will be only digital version of CoH2 (I heard a dev say this in a video).

last weekend there was a 50% deal on origin (europe) were i was able to preorder coh2 for only 25 euro
but afaik this works like a normal shop so i will probably get also just a key from origin to activate in steam and download it there
Wait what? You can only play coh2 if you have steam account?
Yeah, your account is tied to Steam, so no more smurfing
i hope you can use your Relic id from COH in COH2.

You bought it over Origin so... you use Origin to log into Steam and then launch the game.
Jesus do I miss that time before you had to have a account for everything and logg in to everything :C

hm i dont think that it will work in this way^^
imo origin users will get just a key for steam
or they will start coh2 in origin
but to start origin and start the game in steam makes imo no sense :P

Huzzah, we got so see a totally new vehicle for a split second! :P
Oh, Panzerwerfers, StuGIII Ausf.E's and B-4 203mm Howitzers. I'm pleasantly surprised, and I got my Alpha key in an email today.
Someone realized the ridiculous proportions of the Pak43 model vs. infantry? It looks like a fucking railgun!
Balance shouldn't be a concern at this stage, but that UserINterface, that buttons, so much information popping up, italic fonts, rounded Tank forms, grrr. These will stay I guess and will be like a cartoon.

AND no WorldBuilder for CoH2. I smell DLC's I smell moneyprinting!

The fact that it only has a soviet campaign also smacks of DLC tbh, as they can then sell you a Axis campaign followed by an allied and commonwealth one. Then they can mess around selling you north Africa followed by japanese and the pacific, each one in turn deteriorating in legnth and quality as per usual. Walki summed it up just about right i think. Just a lisence to print money for themselves, they couldent get coho to make money so now they will force you to buy maps and vehicles ..... or be at a distinct disadvantage when you play.
I for one shall not buy it untill it has been proven to me in a dozen replays ive watched, and deffinatly not until they half the price :/ . For one game with only a one sided campaign, no matter how long the campaign is, it is not worth the money they are asking. Starcraft 2 i could understand as you had a choice of 6 factions, Each with a campaign. But to just play one faction in an rts games campaign, and then be expected to play online with the other faction, when they didnt even have the decency to give you even a short campaign for it is rediculous.
Thought they might go with a release that coincides with the beginning of Operation Barbarossa. Dat cheese.
And exceed us, Relic?
(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/Elburro/ui/buryyou.jpg)
:P
It is like what I have been suspecting for a long time: it is essentially this mod recycled with better graphics.
Indeed, Walki! But why the need to pay for it? EF is for free and the community can influence it to a considerable degree!To get better graphics and epic campy snow maps which will be pleasing all those Scheldt Compstompers :D

There was 2 months difference between the initial CoH release and Worldbuilder being patched in. If they're that swift this time around, I'll eat my own farts.
I'm really disapointed at how they made the soviet's in COH-2, they feel like a copy of the Americans from COH-1, except worse. Lets just say more than half of the soviet tanks half trouble penetrating the REAR armor of the german ones, and the IS2 and ISU-152 are just a disappointment :(
Cool :) Could you deliver some screenshots? :) // Curious
Well, since SEGA is dropping the written NDA today, i can give you specifics regarding what is broken right now in COH2 (still cant post video or images though regarding the COH2 beta)
Cool :) Could you deliver some screenshots? :) // Curious
I've also had a go on the CoH2 beta, and i get graphics issues :-\ flickering and such, but anyway.
I think its pretty wierd that the elephant is a non-doc unit, its just....wierd. The brummbar is also pretty heavily armored, i had 2 T-34s flanking one but most of the shots were bouncing, which is also something that happened when i attacked a stug III with a IS-2, the first 2 shots bounced >:( i destroyed it shortly after though with a Zis-3.
hope they tweak the damage, because as it is right now, it heavily favors the germans( tank damage/pen that is)

Yeah, you can mirror match in CoH2.
settings =
{
mirror_match_allowed = false,
mixed_teams_allowed = true,
yes but they locked it in automatch games
