Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

[BurroDiablo]

For something it's like World of Tanks (aaargh my tanks will be wiped on March  )

One reason I stopped playing WoT for now. I'm not wasting my time on a beta that's just going to reset in a month or so, it's not worth the effort. I hope they do a double or triple Credits/XP period for the first few days when they officially release, I would rejoin WoT quite happily if there were the case, but I do not want to spend a week playing just to get a 37mm for my nublet MS-1.

OT:

I've started to play about 2 weeks, I haven't superpower tanks like IS-7 or Maus; I have StuG, Wespe and today I'll take VK Leopard.
Maybe they wiped all on the first days of March (when my Premium Account goes down).

When I will have to begin playing for GOLD, like in CoH:O...Bye bye!
If the most that I can aspire without paying will be Pz III, I'll play everytime with Pz. III.

End OT

I'm not actually excited about a possible CoH2. Everything Relic has done since Opposing Fronts, in my eyes, has been an extra step away from what I want a game to be. I hated Dawn of War 2, as well. Would have been quite happy with CoH-style gameplay, rather than this silly Hero and 5 people on the battlefield nonsense.

I think they will try again to be really 'innovative' again, and try to 'reinvent' the RTS genre. Not what I want at all.

Fully agree with that!
Opposing Fronts rather ruined it with the Brits, and to some degree, the Panzer Elite. Tales Of Valor has this stupid "direct-fire" thing, and poorly-implemented reward units. I do very much hope that whatever relic does next, it fixes everything, rather than throw more stuff that doesn't work into the mix...

What Relic should do Before COH2
-Fix COH 1.
-Make another Expansion for COH 1.
-Start Listening to the community for ideas.

I would say that's what relic should do instead of Company Of Heroes II....

I'd rather see a fresh start then a new expansion. A new expansion will introduce more balance problems while some of the flaws inherent to the game wont be fixed. Doesn't mean I'm opposed to real expansion, though, I just don't think it'd yield much success.
Personally I'd love to just have a better CoH with CoH2, still with WW2 setting and with a lot of the gameplay from CoH, but I think if they make a sequel they'll probably choose another scenario as the market seems tired out of WW2 games. Regardless of the setting or whether it's a sequel or an expansion, what I think should be addressed is:
- Better mod support
- Custom map integration, i.e. the possibility to download custom maps in-game
- better map selection in automatch(maybe possibility to untick more maps?)

and some very personal things that won't happen
- No Brits or brit-like factions (complete redesign if still present)
- No High resources annihilate ^^
- no chokepoint maps (esp. the scheldt)

Yes. Fully agree.

But I maybe I can understand ToV with something new like Operations (Stonewall, PzKrieg, Assault) and units (totally unbalanced, actually the Kangaroos and before 2.601 the T17) but all other stuff over ToV it's just only for commercial reasons and profits.

I agree with this post. I didn't like Dawn of War 2 as well, especially because of this "silly Hero and 5 people on the battlefield nonsense". I don't want that CoH follows that path.

I was gutted in many ways with DoW2 where as I loved and was heavily involved with DoW until I moved up to COH.
Re-inventing the genre is something most developers want...an ambition. But relic should have taken a page from Blizzard's book and do what they've done with Starcraft2
COHO, I believed to be just a test bed to see what direction to take with COH2. I think it was almost 3 yrs ago when Buggo left relic that she said they were working on COH2 but didn't know what direction to take. That seems to be the case still. Possibly working on an engine in the meantime and testing the waters with products like COHO...
Remains to be seen I guess...

[pariah]

Why fix what's not broken? Vanilla Company Of Heroes didn't need to be 'reinvented', or 'redesigned'. I really hate it when developers leave fixing things to the modders...

[Analpirat]

Well that's because these people make a living making games. And they don't earn much,if anything, patching a 5 year old game, and make (probably) very little making an expansion for a 5 year old game.

[pariah]

So? It's their game, their responsibility. Company Of Heroes was fine, but they released Opposing Fronts and Tales Of Valor with much less polish, and they shouldn't have....

Sorry if this is off the topic that you guys were talking about but, I accidentally put my bros new gold edition on my account ( ). I contacted THQ and filled out their email thing, but do any of you guys know how do I take off a "Product" from my account.



Edit: Fixed some spelling errors

[Blackbishop]

Try making a new account an assing the new keys (it's said that you can migrate keys from registered accounts to newer ones up to three times before they get banned)... I had an issue 3 months ago similar to yours but i didn't get any help, neither from THQ nor Relic.
