Not much about actual gameplay in the trailer :P

SU-76 being used for indirect fire eh? They've done their homework then :P

Trailer was meh... Relic have somehow got it in their heads that everybody is ignorant of the Eastern Front except themselves. It has smattering of a child who's just learned where babies come for two years too late, then when he asks classmates if they know where babies come from, he gets the answer 'Well duh, fucknuts', to which he becomes very defensive and insists he's known for years that it wasn't just storks.

I wounder if the germans will be using swaztikas in COH2 ?

They probably wont. They don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. I mean they didn't even use the term SS in the first COH which is basically what the Stormtroopers were

There were quite a lot of swaztikas in the trailer. But that werent ingame graphic ofc. I can think many people are going to get the famous whitetrash skinhead argument
- Why can we have the hammer and sickle and not the swaztika ? the commis were worse!


Dont start a flamewar <3 IMO I dont care <3


Hmm, Am I the only one who dont see the stormtroopers as SS? I mean I can understand if people get that view. But only because they wear camo and got the title stormtroopers ( that aint what ss stands for that some people belive ) doesnt mean they are SS. There was camo in the wehrmacht too. Not as much as in the SS. But as the stormtroopers are part of the wehrmacht ingame and they are of a small squad. Why not? XD Especially cuz the COH camo is madeupp ;3

KCH looks like more SS than the StormTroopers with their black jackets :D

German law... you cannot display symbols of organisations deemed unconstitutional, which includes the NSDAP. There's a lot of German CoH players, I mean I can tell just being on this forum, Relic's just making it easier for themselves, can't blame them really.

Here's the law and the symbols affected... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strafgesetzbuch_%C2%A7_86a

You germans and your laws <3 So, basically, the trailer is illegal in germany? XD

Not sure, I think it's alright in a 'historical' context, they have Tanks and Planes in German museums with Swastika's on them. Since WW2 video games are interactive media and merely imitate history, they aren't exactly historical in context... maybe in intent, but obviously intent isn't enough for German lawmakers :P

I see. So you guys have never experianced the great series of Wolfenstein? ;<

No, they do, it's just censored beyond all recognition :P

From some website -

QuoteAnd a friend in Germany tells me that their version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein is hilarious, with all the swastikas removed, and famous Nazis like Hitler and Goering renamed to things like Hatlo and Goran.

Wolfenstien 3D was banned I believe, and still is.

The forgotten front? Who forgot it exactly? I think only the crappy US education system ignores the EF. The rest of the world learns about it fine AFAIK.

I didn't learn about it at all in British (well, Scottish) schools either to be honest... I learned about the Blitz and the evacuation of children in Primary school with the Atomic bombing of Japan thrown in for good measure, then in High School I learned about appeasement and the conditions that led up to WW2, mostly focusing on that prat Chamberlain. That's all the WW2 I got over 12 years of schooling, pretty pathetic really, I had to get most of my education from reading encyclopedias in my own time as a child, school was just a formality.

Seriously, I somehow feel thankful for history being taught fast and briefly. If there are too much details it will be a very scary project with TONS of thing to remember and I think we're not going to graduate highschool anymore :P
The trailer somewhat disappoints me, I hope to see some small skirmishes rather than a short stupid lesson of history (again)

Only too true, here in India we learn not about how Indians fought in the War but how the GLORIOuS RED ARMY DESTROYED THE FASCIST PIGs

We had it about 1 year at school from reason for WW1 -> Treaty of Versailles -> stab-in-the-back myth -> Nazi regime -> Holocaust -> Downfall. The only thing we barely made was Eastern Front. In my opinion it's great how accurately we learned it at school. I hope they'll continue like this so a new WW can't happen.

As much as I am offended by this remark, I can't help but agree with it :P. We talked about the blitzkrieg into France but not too much about Stalin and his struggle to hold the line. That I had to learn on my own through books.

War in general is never covered in US schools. They will mention what kicked it off (in Europe, it was Hitler invading Poland for Lebanstram IIRC :P) and what happened afterwards (alot of ppl died, Cold War :P) but never what happens in between. US education considers the actual war to be "unimportant" and you should only focus on other events.

Lebanstram = Lebensraum im Osten -> living space in the east -> ideological Nazi bullshit

This. The US education system gives more importance to westward expansion in the 1860's than a war that killed 70 million people. >:(

One thing to mention aobut COH2 they better fix the pathfinding..................espcially when retreating

Some new info:

Ha! Told you all COH is based on 1944 ;)

Seriously? Ostheer? I mean.. Come on!

Just like our Ostheer? :P

Wats a Ostheer?

I think he meant Obstheer

Quite a bit of memory came back with that pic. Hey Seeme remember the bridge and the Kubel?

Yes.

fuck :@
DLCs and other bulshits  :-X

Doesn't surprise many of us I'm quite sure. People want money, that's just the fact and gaming companies are no different

Yeah but there is a fine line between making a little extra pocket cash and milking your customers. It gets to a point where ppl no longer care about the consumer

Last one looks like it's for MP. So what, are we seeing aspects of CoHO being shoved into CoH2? Also, I fucking hate the idea of in-game currency, I seriously hope MP isn't going to become some 'Pay to win' cash grab.

Hopefully, those buyables are only skins or other cosmetic changes so that wallet warriors can look as elite as they want and still get their asses kicked by regulars.

Don't tell me THQ and Relic are following the big-name groups like EA.

In a sense they already did this with Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War II no?

So online matches aren't going to be fair because someone spent a little extra money? That's bullshit.

Whatever gonna happen in CoH 2, I will try it anyway. ( '_'  )
But I think, if anyone ever enjoyed EF mod, will have "this CoH 2 is not as good as EF" feeling in the 1st time they play CoH 2 but it will pass eventually (or maybe not :P)

Oh yeah, I'm still willing fall into the CoH2 honey trap as I'm sure the game itself will be fun. But given how important balance is to Multiplayer, it seems strange to have added in-game currency. Hopefully it's nothing more than something to spend on non-game changing additions that Relic fart out to keep the game somewhat interesting as it gets older, but I wouldn't put it past them to let you buy 'XP boosts' or 'Unit Boosts' with in-game currency like they've added to the preorders just to make a little extra cash on the side from idiots lured by the illusion of More XP = Better Units = Moar Winz!

Did what? Warhammer never appealed to me so I haven't played it. :P

What coh made so great were the guys that made vcoh. Then the staff got changed and they pooped out OF crap. Since coh2 will be made by the same guys that ruined coh, i have not much faith in it. Maybe coh2 will be good, we will see.

I hold my faith in the modding community on this one. CoH2 really doesn't look like that much of an improvement over vCoH. A few new additions here and there, but mostly the same, just different armies. If they don't open it up for modding I am going to be seriously pissed.

Added DLC and expansion packs where mods would have done 100X better

In-Game Currency Gift to be Used Towards Purchasing Future Content

I really don't like this phrase but I hope Relic will not do the same error of CoH Online. We will see  ;)

I hope for this.

Maybe we will can buy DLC where we can have Rewards Units, with the same concept of balance of vCoH.

Оr/and  for things that will help us in campain.
Maybe they wont do any mistakes and they are creating this ingame payment method for players that love to play single player and capmains.

And for multiplayer games they will provide only different skins.
It is not clear enought at this point, but I hope soon it will be.

Reward units in Vcoh actually balance breaker, so don't be hopeful about it. Check Roos, M18, Gwagon, T17, Staghound etc.

Hey, they did fix them in the end... that's always a plus, even when the fixes were long overdue

I said that because was the first possible idea comes in my mind.  :)

Anyway I don't see COH a game maded for DLC like can be a FPS game, where we have DLC with "Weapon Packages" or other stuff.

Considering what the game is starting to look like, we may be able to customize weaponry for our troops. Thus I imagine that they maybe adding rare and experimental weaponry (maybe like the AVT-40, AVS-36, MkB 42(H), MP43 MP40/II, G-41(W), etc.) Hell maybe we will even see Silenced M1895 Mosin Revolvers with some Soviet NKVD teams XD

What is this? Red Orchestra 2?


lol...
