THQ will develop a new Company of Heroes game

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

I really hope they don't just rip off this mod

My greatest fear..

I hope CoH2 will bring a worldbuilder - then I'll be the first to try it

looks good, but you guys know, if it does take one step back, (aka, not as good as CoH) then i will still be playing this game and mod.

[Alexander 'ApeMen' J.]

my biggest worry is atm that they will cancel the base buildings and change it to something more like men of war
i dont like the only call in shit^^

[stealthattack1]

that would suck

Edit: teching is an integral part of the game, and it is best when there are buildings to do it from. also, relic did such a good job with the previous buildings, such as seeing sparks from the tank buildings, the new units roll onto the field rather than just popping up, the flags waving in the wind, lights flashing, etc.

If they do, I won't purchase the game.

At least, the interesting thing is that CoH2 allow troop to jump through wall, so no lazy soldier any more.

<rant>Sorry to say, but as an innovator, I feel this mod is nothing new than ripping off from exist races. The modding capability of the game isn't that limited. And I don't satisfy with this mod content such as sound, building, tech tree and exist race changing. I still judge this is good mod, but not the one it could deserve to be.</rant>

They won't rip us off, but since they want to keep it similar to vCOH but improved...and they are making soviets...they're bound to have some similarities.
It also depends how much different the combat system becomes as they are talking a lot about 'realism'. It could be that (like the weather effects) they're enhancing 'troop moral' mechanics where as squad that takes too many casualties automatically retreats and so on...

The website is on now :0

Seems like an old friend wants to come back:



The tractor from the original reappears in its old shape

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?

and they plan to release in early 2013

What a year.. CoH2, GTA V..

[stealthattack1]

seriously.

Pretty much why I think Western Front mods will be everywhere. If Relic are just ripping assets from CoH1, nothing is stopping modders doing that either. It wouldn't surprise me if Relic simply barred CoH2 from modding altogether... might piss people off, but when it comes to expansion packs nobody will be complaining about Relic 'ripping off' modders, like some seem to be doing over EF.

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.

Essentially this:

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.

Hehe sorry, I listed only those I already know about - though the games you listed sound thoroughly interesting
