THQ will develop a new Company of Heroes game

QFT

CoC2 is looking less and less original. They have said, however, that there are improvements that cannot be captured in a screenshot. Like better sounds and better AI pathfinding. I am a little disappointed at this point, but gameplay videos could (not will) bring back some hope.

According CoH 2 FB page, they have a multiplayer version and closed beta is coming.

Finally. Remember this was the pre alpha version, but setup looks like men of war to me. Im curious how long this youtube channel will be there.

I like the new death sequence for tanks, combusts for a second before exploding, satisfying to watch.

Tanks don't bump when get a hit which is weird after COH. That IL2 strike animation was very much alike EF IL-2 strafe btw.

The things i loved the skins of infantry especially flowing jackets with wind and the Active Squads info which shows the cover, danger etc. You can react more faster.

Flamethrower actually now looks good.

Well... not bad.

At 0.25 . Nice to see that they got the camo right and didnt made something up like in the previous game :>

Nice to see some new stuff!^^ German arty, Soviet 122mm guns, the IS-2 and ISU-152s looks really good too.

Not sure if im gonna preorder it though, i'd prefer a physical collectors edition more than a digital one.

would be amazing if they added ANZAC's and Japs in a DLC

Bleh, another annoying trailer filled with 1 second clips, it's nice to see a glimpse of an IS2 but holy shit it's taken them long enough.

Uh, that would be a little more than just DLC and would likely require more work to make than CoH2. ANZAC is pretty niche, they'd need to add in the US too for it to be viable commercially.

I can't say I agree Burro, WWII buffs would go nuts (name 5 WWII games where they are playable, other than Paradox Interactive games) and most CoH players would be interested, even if slightly.

ANZAC's is NZ and Aus so because of the Aus part it would be quite big commercially, and a rather unique change in the gaming industry. i dont think i can name a game where you play as or command anzac army's.
Italy would be a nice addition too.

There's a reason you don't see them in any games, because a game focusing on the ANZAC's isn't commericially viable. Big budget titles like CoH need to sell big, and without the ingame infrastructure, Pacific assets, units models, animations and voice acting for Anzac/Japanese units, we'd be talking about a game with a bigger budget and with a longer development cycle than CoH2. I believe CoH sold the vast majority of it's copies in Europe, if you think most European CoH fans would want a game focusing on Anzac in the pacific then you must be pretty goddamn high, it's far too niche to have it's own game dedicated to it and they is exactly why it doesn't. Anzac forces added to CoH at all in any way, shape or form would be part of the Brits, as they are in MoW. But again, if Relic made the entire infrastructure for a game in the Pacific and it looks fantastic, they might as well add America first and then do Brits/Anzac's later, since US vs Japan would sell a shitload more copies.

Blame money. :P

too true, but like i said it would be nice. but would as in it wont happen haha.

but why would the anzac's go under the brits? i know they were collonies of great britain, but as far as i know they didnt fight alongside the brits during the war. i know that the brits were meant to send something like 20k - 40k troops to gallipolli's flank to aid the anzac's but that didnt happen xD

maybe on sicilly or something, but im not sure if the brits were involved in avalanche, i think that was just USA and anzac's

Australia and New Zealand (and Canada) are part of the Commonwealth and fought under British leadership in both wars. I believe Winston Churchill came up with the idea of the Gallipoli landing. In WW2, the Desert Rats had a significant role in the North Africa campaign under Monty, and ANZACs fought the Japanese probably in concert with British and American troops (after 1940).

Saying they were just colonies of GB is putting it mildly. The King was still Head of State and all Commonwealth countries still fall under British leadership as independently governed colonies.

An ANZAC specific game won't happen. The role in the war was not large enough and is not commercially viable. Additionally, equipment was British or American manufactured and offers nothing unique.

There will be only digital version of CoH2 (I heard a dev say this in a video).

I don't know about that, PCDVD version is availible for pre-order on various sites. That said, I preordered the PCDVD version of BF3 and I still needed to download the game via origin which was fucking stupid.

last weekend there was a 50% deal on origin (europe) were i was able to preorder coh2 for only 25 euro
but afaik this works like a normal shop so i will probably get also just a key from origin to activate in steam and download it there

origin is just the same as steam, just from a different company. so it works exactly the same. you'll need to download it from them and use there program (origin) to start the game

not realy
relic said already that it dosnt matter where you bought the game you will always need steam because its a steamworks game :P

Wait what? You can only play coh2 if you have steam account?

Yeah, your account is tied to Steam, so no more smurfing

hmm that will also reduce cheating and playing without a key. Nice idea but also annoying if steam is offline, which happens often :P

of course? whats wrong with this?
at least if you cheat and steam notice this you will not oly loose coh2 you will also loose all other games you have on steam

so bad times for cheaters and hackers :P

That's a GREAT GREAT GREAT thing!  :D :D :D

this was actually a really great idea by the coh2 dev's, this should also help with connection problems when you have a perfect connection c':

This seems very similar to DoW2. I just hope they have a logical ingame account rather than that Games for Windows shit.

i hope you can use your Relic id from COH in COH2.

You bought it over Origin so... you use Origin to log into Steam and then launch the game.

Jesus do I miss that time before you had to have a account for everything and logg in to everything :C

hm i dont think that it will work in this way^^
imo origin users will get just a key for steam
or they will start coh2 in origin

but to start origin and start the game in steam makes imo no sense :P

what will probably happen is you'l get a cd key and download the game, but you will use your cd-key to register the product on steam.

2 new screens of coh2 where you can see the new ui

Female snipers. How obvious!
