Company of Heroes

WOW i got to watch someone play the SP game today for about 10 minutes and this will be my next RTS game for sure. It's a GOTY on PC for sure, hands down. MP beta has been out a while now, but the SP game kicks serious ass. It actually innovates the RTS genre pretty well and goes way beyond Dawn of War which I still think was a great game.

EDIT:

Now that it's public, PC Gamer gave it a 96%.

yes there was a lot of hubbub about it last May/E3 (2005) etc...but damn, it has come so far since them and is now totally sick.

I got to play it at Quakecon. A lot more than I expected. Of course, I'm still stuck on the command and conquer way of doing things...

Yeah, it completely owns. I absolutely love the beta. I've been playing the closed for about a month (FilePlanet subscription FTW! ) and I've had an absolute blast. It's always a different game, not a single battle plays the same way and that's what I love about it. The destructibale environments just add so much to it. I agree Izuno, GOTY.

True, thougth I think CoH is going to be very highly critically received. Wonder how gamers will react.

I wasn't really very interested in it since I've had a falling out with RTS games over the last couple of years. But after trying the demo I'm totally on for it, since they actually got some pretty impressive gameplay with cover mechanics that actually work, and just some really tight and slick flow in the way your squad responds.

Also it looks totally insane. I played it on my new work computer on the absolute max settings and it just looks breathtaking, especially their explosions. Mmmmm.

Mazy finally saw the light!

One thing bothers me about this game. The soldiers seem to be able to walk faster than bullets. Look at them storming omaha beach.... ridiculous.

Where can I find the demo. Looks like it's pulled off from the download sites.

Doesn't work, or am I missing something?
