Company of Heroes 2

[Andreas]

Yes but that's not our work so we won't do it I guess.

Of course, its a lot of work. But i guess someone would do it.

New Stuff!

Providing that this magazine is a reliable source, there are following facts:

- Direct control will not come back
- Changing uniforms (according to the seasons) are confirmed
- Eastern Front is being mentioned as a great add-on for CoH1
- You are able to recogize vehicles/infantry by the marks they leave in the snow
- AI is supposed to become smarter and feel less like it's cheating

Thanks to pariah for the heads up.

- Eastern Front is being mentioned as a great add-on for CoH1

Finally? They also write that we influenced them! Another step forward to the world rule!

[neosdark]

I believe they also mentioned larger squad sizes and the ability to vault over cover.

And I can't wait until I have a fleet of Soviet Panthers

Oh and how exactly did they helps EF with their last patches?

[Sommarkatze]

I think it was nice of Relic noticing you guys. You done a really good work <3

Ask for work?

[BurroDiablo]

They made it possible for us to unlock factions without using Copes workaround... that's why the Soviets are locked if you try to play EF with older patches They probably did some other things, but the unlocking of factions sticks in my mind.

They'd have been mad to slap us with a cease and desist order... I've heard of people buying CoH simply because EF exists. It's nice to see that they 'love' the modding community, hopefully this confirms modding support for CoH2. 

[Max 'DonXavi' von B.]

According to the German Gamestar magazine, CoH2 players will be provided with DLCs just like in CoH1. They plan to release "Werkzeuge" (tools) as well..

Once again thanks to pariah.

Sounds like a bit of self-interest there. If people are indeed buying CoH just to play EF then they sure as hell don't want people to just pirate the game to play EF.

[BurroDiablo]

Of course not, but then again people rarely pirate games just to play mods - financial, judging game quality and Steam unavailiblity are much larger reasons for piracy. If anything, those who play EF, pirated CoH and have yet to buy it probably did so to play the CoH base game only to stumble across EF later when they got bored. Even pirates have the potential to become customers given they like the game and want to take it further by playing online and what not.

[Walentin 'Walki' L.]

Well piracy wouldn't be so high if the developers would stop releasing unfinished bullshit. The latest thing was Iron Front, I should have download it first before I buy it because see: I spent 30€ and it didn't work? Seriously? I don't hide that I download pirated games. I only use them as a safety measure so I really get what I see on the pictures and what's written in the descriptions. There are so many crap games out there. In my opinion increasing the price of the game ("to get the piracy damage back in again") is just going the wrong way, higher punishment, too. A better way would a good legal offer which everyone can afford.
Steam already made a huge step towards it with the guest pass, so you are actually see what you'll get and not a fucked up never updated Demo.

Trailer no. 1 is out!!!

Enjoy!

+ SU-76 pic:

[Pac-Fish]

Not much about actual gameplay in the trailer

[BurroDiablo]

SU-76 being used for indirect fire eh? They've done their homework then

Trailer was meh... Relic have somehow got it in their heads that everybody is ignorant of the Eastern Front except themselves. It has smattering of a child who's just learned where babies come for two years too late, then when he asks classmates if they know where babies come from, he gets the answer 'Well duh, fucknuts', to which he becomes very defensive and insists he's known for years that it wasn't just storks.

I wounder if the germans will be using swaztikas in COH2 ?

They probably wont. They don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I mean they didn't even use the term SS in the first COH which is basically what the Stormtroopers were
