Company of Heroes

So, did anyone else buy this game? I finally bought it the other day and am absolutely loving every moment of it. I suck at the game, but I love to play it and was wondering if anyone would like to play online in a week or so, need to get my skill up. I love fully destructible environments in RTS's.

On Saturday, my nephew loaned it to me and I installed it yesterday. I've played a few matches that were the same as the demo to get back into it.
Valar has it too.

[betasoldier]

Awesome, maybe all three of us could do play it some time.

Alright Beta, I must urge you to try playing the Germans. After playing the Americans this week and learning how to use the Company Commander Abilities, it is a whole new ball game on the Axis side. Just to make a frickin' tank takes 3 upgrades to your HQs and you don't get any indirect fire weapons until the 4th level of the Commander tools.

In the scenario I played as a German, I found that I was always in need of Infatntry. I never had enough. The AI produced a number of AT guns while I was able to get Pzkw IV and V (Panthers) out. Those AT guns were deadly to my armor. When the game ended, I had mostly Infantry, Engineers and Mortars closing in on the American HQ area. It was at that time that I got my Indirect fire capabilities--A battery of Rocket Launchers.

A battery of Rocket Launchers = Total Death, Destruction and Chaos to anyone where the Rockets land. That was the end of the game.

I will try to play the Germans some more because if we play a head to head game, someone has to do it.

I got the game and a no-CD crack to the latest patch at a LAN last weekend.

[betasoldier]

Let me reinstall and patch my game today, maybe I can catch you guys on vent tonight and we can play a game.

I got back into this game after the expansion was released. Anyone still play it?

Its a decent game, but did they ever take the unit cap limit away? I don't care for cap limits. Thats why I have always been a fan of C&C when it comes to RTS games.

[Anger]

No. Thats still in place. But doesn't it make it a little more tactical when you cant just amass thousands and swarm?

The British and the Panzer Elite armies are very different to play. Completely different tactics required.


Just a pity that Relics online servers suck.

I will be getting back into it Anger, with the expansion when I buy it. Sorry, just been gone forever. Graduated from AIT to become an MP today, err.. yesterday I guess technically.
