Company of Heroes 2 Releases First Trailer

Unread postby News Portal » 2 Jul 12, 4:32 pm

Relic and THQ have released the first trailer for Company of Heroes 2, and it's unfortunately completely footage-free, stitched together from old war photos and some impressive visual edit work. Still, it's a compelling piece, with some truly horrific statistics. Take a look.

Soviet = Zerg? :P

I can't say I ever read up on the numbers of casualties in WW2, but looking at those stats I think Einstein was onto something when he said
I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.


Looking forward to this game however, loved the orignal.

more importantly... since the soviet seems to have a heavy emphasis on numerical advantage, the pathfinding AI from the essence engine better damn well be improved...

or else it's gonna be a repeat of the nightmare from CoH when tanks and infantries get stuck in choke points like bridges and create a pathfinding chaos.

Well, infantry can vault over obstacles now, that will alleviate some of the pain... :)

I really hope this looks and plays more impressively that is looks to now, because it essentially sounds like a mission pack for CoH, not a fully fledged sequel. I'd like nothing more than to be wrong, though...

Cracked me up watching this video on youtube the morning it was released. The comments were choc a block with Americans who were phased that the Russians were made to look glorious and not them for once. How dare a country other than America be shown to have made sacrifices!

Sneeky ingame rendering toward the end there?

Sounds like its going to be fun.

Essence Engine 3 should be ok, but most likely buggy on launch, DoW2 was and CoH was back in the day, but they are very good with their patching.... just hope its a lot more slipstreamed, but patching in DoW2 isnt too bad...

Hopefully they have done away with the horrid multiplayer joining/username retrieval services from CoH and DoW2... multiplayer was great, just a PoS when it came to joining a mates game etc...

Apparently base building is confirmed to be in. Sounds like some really nifty things with the snow too.

not like there was much of base building at all to begin with in CoH,

mostly just the defensive structures, since the rest of the base building can't even be built anywhere else but the HQ zone and there aren't exactly that many different path to the Build Order.

The bigotry frankly is shared on both sides, but the proportion on the US is more significant.

common counter ignorant insult includes,
'the US didn't do anything beyond sending paltry supply'
'the US were merchants of death profiting money from the war'

both of which are just as retarded as the US **** insults that either discount or ignores the major battles in the eastern front.
