Company of Heroes 2

Nice Drawing :D! I like how one has sunglasses XD

Boss! dude that is really good!
(you should make it your signature or something!)

KT will be in no doubt, IS-2 would be a match for the KT, not like the uber-nerf version with have in EF. If tanks are capturable, makes me wonder if they're going to add in stuff like crew members getting injured or killed whenever the tank is hit, would make combat much more unpredictable even in heavy tanks... no more, running in with a Panther, killing as much as you can, then running back to your Pio's for repairs. Also, if this is the case, is tank combat going to be that touch more realistic? Like Men of War... with health bars.

Actually the IS2 was far inferior to the KT, but slightly better to the Tiger (not at the distant though). The current ingame version is not so inaccurate as you think. However IS2 and panther could knock out each other from the same distance by being the panther much more mobile. Maybe thats why i get nervous when i face a panther spam :P

I would laugh so loud when Coh2 has EF1.0 conditions: No retreat, can´t capture weapons, weapon crews that kill full health volks, axis winning because soviets start to spam kats all the time xD

Thanks boys <3
Iam really hoping for something new on the german side, and not ostheer material . Something completely new! Might be hard to think up something that havent been touch before.
Hmmm, I want Maus <3

I wounder if it will have reward units? And if it have, if you start out with some or have to wait for some expansions : >

Really really great drawing, Sommarkatze! You have a PM by the way ;)

Was talking in game, where tank combat happens at about 5ft and penetration tables shouldn't really matter :P In reality, tank combat is much more than just a war of numbers (who's got the better gun, who's go the thicker armor), as anything is possible, a lot of KT's had engine problems, some of the time it come down to crew competence, the Tiger at Bovington was knocked out by a Churchill when the 57mm shell jammed the turret from moving, far removed from what a Chruchill's capabilities are on paper. Not that any of this affects the game, I still expect the IS-2 to be a a match for the KT, not saying the IS2 would win toe to toe with a KT in game, but it would certainly leave it a little worse for wear. IS-2 would probably be on par with a Tiger 1, the Tiger 1 can get off more shots in a shorter space of time that an IS2.

I'm looking forward to seeing images of a sexy IS-2 in game now anyway. I have until October Relic, and I want it to be pretty goddamn sexy... put it in a bikini if you have to.

Good lord

Meh, I could tell you every objects file path and name, except of the new Soviet houses and churches, spontaneously. Somehow Relic leaves me disappointed once more. At least some new environmental objects would have been great..

Cool pictures nonetheless.

maxi, you don't see the snow?

I'm not really that bothered about it tbh, hopefully less misc. environment objects means more urban and rural Soviet buildings. On that note, I can't wait to see some urban settings.

Yea im not bothered with Relic is recycleing some objects from coh1, if it saves them time and adds more variety into the game then wheres the problem?

Stalingrad will be so epic.  I can't wait for that.

New screens:





The ice on the second one looks just epic.  :o

Sturmovie with double flamers? :O


To be honest its hard to tell the ingame graphics. All pics ever posted look so comic like. Defenitly some sort of loading screen or something altered by a program.

I like the little fur hats these guys have :3

Hungarian PzIV? That's not a normal Balkenkreuz. I wish to fuck they'd show some different vehicles.

Animations haven't changed as I see. As well as the sandbags lol :P. Just the rendering seems to be better now including the alpha channel now working correctly. (Look at the window)

It instantly remembered me of Lord van Dalen xD

Customise skins pleaaaaaaaaaase <3

D you think it will be possibly to import all the work from EF into CoH 2? I'm asking only because some of us may not like the faction designs that Relic make.

I guess so, considering that Relic themselves are recycling CoH1 models. The engine really hasn't changed that much from what I can see.

I guess they'll still use .rgm/.rga/.rgo files so it's piece of cake.

*If* it is possible to import the EF work, wouldn't it then be possible to import the british, americans wehrmacht and panzer elite?

That would be neat! Then you dont have to spend money on expansion packs with the old factions DOWII style! :D

Yes but that's not our work so we won't do it I guess.

Of course, its a lot of work. But i guess someone would do it.

New Stuff!

Providing that this magazine is a reliable source, there are following facts:

- Direct control will not come back
- Changing uniforms (according to the seasons) are confirmed
- Eastern Front is being mentioned as a great add-on for CoH1
- You are able to recogize vehicles/infantry by the marks they leave in the snow
- AI is supposed to become smarter and feel less like it's cheating

Thanks to pariah for the heads up.

Finally? They also write that we influenced them! Another step forward to the world rule! :D

I believe they also mentioned larger squad sizes and the ability to vault over cover.

And I can't wait until I have a fleet of Soviet Panthers >:D

Oh and how exactly did they helps EF with their last patches?

I think it was nice of Relic noticing you guys. You done a really good work <3

Ask for work? :P

They made it possible for us to unlock factions without using Copes workaround... that's why the Soviets are locked if you try to play EF with older patches :P They probably did some other things, but the unlocking of factions sticks in my mind.

They'd have been mad to slap us with a cease and desist order... I've heard of people buying CoH simply because EF exists. It's nice to see that they 'love' the modding community, hopefully this confirms modding support for CoH2. 

According to the German Gamestar magazine, CoH2 players will be provided with DLCs just like in CoH1. They plan to release "Werkzeuge" (tools) as well.. ;)

Once again thanks to pariah.

Sounds like a bit of self-interest there. If people are indeed buying CoH just to play EF then they sure as hell don't want people to just pirate the game to play EF.

Of course not, but then again people rarely pirate games just to play mods - financial, judging game quality and Steam unavailiblity are much larger reasons for piracy. If anything, those who play EF, pirated CoH and have yet to buy it probably did so to play the CoH base game only to stumble across EF later when they got bored. Even pirates have the potential to become customers given they like the game and want to take it further by playing online and what not.

Well piracy wouldn't be so high if the developers would stop releasing unfinished bullshit. The latest thing was Iron Front, I should have download it first before I buy it because see: I spent 30€ and it didn't work? Seriously? I don't hide that I download pirated games. I only use them as a safety measure so I really get what I see on the pictures and what's written in the descriptions. There are so many crap games out there. In my opinion increasing the price of the game ("to get the piracy damage back in again") is just going the wrong way, higher punishment, too. A better way would a good legal offer which everyone can afford.
Steam already made a huge step towards it with the guest pass, so you are actually see what you'll get and not a fucked up never updated Demo.
