[sihmak]

If you like WWII games and RTS you'll love this game. Maybe the greatest RTS I have every played

www.companyofheroesgame.com/

The game has a 17+ rating for violence and swearing.

I'm confused is it a FPS or a Warcraftish like game? o.o

[Goero]

RTS means Real Time Strategy.

I looked at the web site.. interesting Idea.. and RTS that will bring you THAT close to the actual field and changes with an actual battle field damage

[taru]

Can you say new graphics card?

[Goero]

I just got done playing through the demo missions for this game. I like... a LOT..

The soldiers are great too..

"If i see one more bag of dirt!"'
"If as much as a mouse sneezes in this mine feild i want it to blow!"
"Welcome to France Boys"
Note... some of these are edit due to language ^^

The first mission starts out on D-Day in the demos.. you see this Cutscene of the first company chargin the beach and gettin shredded.

Then your company hits the beach and you gotta get "Atleast" 25 men to the line... which is actually quiet easy.. its just a pain keepin track of all the units because they keep streaming in and kinda just wanderin around and getting slaughtered. Once you make it up off the beach, the First Mission is cake..

The Second mission.. yea. harder... much harder.. Not impossible.. but my little army got pushed back after i kinda push a little to far forward.

Note.. this happens throughout history.. commander over pushes. stretchs his lines of support and supplies.. get pwned -.-

I had all these freakin units at the max upgrade and vetern lvl.. that got mowed down when all of a sudden it seemed like EVERY single Nazi unit switched from the two other fronts and beared down on them with a vengence. one HUGE blob of red circles and triangles against like 3 or 4 blue circles....

Hey >.> they told me to go secure the two strategic points. i tried.. i really did.. i even had one.. (that was the one with my uber units that got slaughtered ; Everything went down hill from there.. lost my main base of command.. fell back to the church.. my remaining units retreated there.. put up a good fight.. held tough.. then a MIRACLE!!! Reinforcments from the front lines!!! TANKS! MORE SOLDIERS!! Silly Nazis! you now know why Americans PWNED you in WWII! ^^

Ahem!

Yes >.>

I will be buyin this game and finding time to actually play it >.>

i just bought the full version.. and i retract my statement about the "2nd" mission not being impossible to hold until your backup comes.. its FREAKING INSANE!

I was holding much better this time.. then all of a sudden like 30 freakin tanks appeared.. well.. maybe not 30.. but it sure felt like it. That and they started pinpointing where my soilders were putting up the most fight and hit em with artillery ; ;

/em sniffles

Those boys never saw it coming ; ; they died honorably though!

Though i did find out that if you get a paratrooper unit with a enough guts to do it, you can use a satchel bomb to blast a tank to kingdom come... ^^ That soldier even LIVED! he was part of the final push to retake my lost ground.. if he survived that i don't know.. Most likely though, it was pretty one sided at that point! ^^

anyways.. i just finished that mission again and this is a AWESOME game as a whole!

if you haven't tried the demo.. you should..
