What do you guys think? Do you think it will mean no Company Of Heroes II, at least for a long time?

[cephalos]

They must be kidding us... me at least...

[Blackbishop]

I remember reading in Kotaku about this too .

[pariah]

So... You guys think a Dawn Of War III is a bad thing? I'm no T.B.S. fan, so i wouldn't know.

[Blackbishop]

Well, i like DoW games but if they delay CoH games it's a shame .

[RedGuard]

omfg coh back of the bus as usual

So you're hoping for a Company Of Heroes II, blackbishop?

[neosdark]

Truthfully we are all hopping for a CoH 2, a game in which Relic doesn't listen to any "pros" or "noobs", but just makes a game, just like when they first released CoH, that is balanced and bisected fairly to the point where one faction doesn't have any particular advantage over another, but still looks different enough to say that they don't look like the same unit with a different name. We all share that dream (and i personally hope that such a game will be more mod friendly and take place in Vietnam)

...Why would you (or anybody, for that matter) want a sequel to Company Of Heroes?

...Why would you (or anybody, for that matter) want a sequel to Company Of Heroes?

Because there are plenty of conflicts which won't take place in CoH we know.

Because CoH gets stale from time to time, it's time to change disks. THQ has a largely untapped fanbase when it comes to CoH, so a sequel is somewhat inevitable.

CoH II I imagine is cooking, but they will need to put some thought into it to keep it from becoming stale. Personally, WW2 will be acceptable but will get boring without vast amounts of content. Anything to do with the future or modern warfare would be pants since the market is saturated with this shit at the moment. Vietnam or some alternate Cold War WW3 type scenario would be ideal... for me anyway.

I'd enjoy US vs. Iraq  2003

They might as well just take the rights of C&C Generals from EA...

Actually, a remake of the original Red Alert in the essence engine would be hella sexy.
Mod idea? *troll face*


But yeah, apparently their going to announce a new game in August... we'll have to wait and see if it's a CoH sequel...

According to Relic Entertainment, the reason for the servers being shut down is the developers' new unnamed RTS project which will be unveiled in August 2011.

I hope that we are indeed on the verge of the next CoH Burro, i really do hope so.

[Rikard Blixt]

DoW3 was (unofficially) announced over a year back. No news here.

Relic have confirmed (I think) that their "major announcement in August" is related to CoH.
