Company of Heroes Game Coordination thread

Post by Lonestar »

In the vein of the DoW thread, post your game-coordination's here!
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I'm usually up for a game when I'm on AIM, however I've noticed that, from day to day my ability to host changes, its very strange.

A queston about Company of heroes.

Is it in anyway like Jagged Alliance? Or is it more like DoW?

Try it yourself and see :D

The single player in the demo has a little... problem with the narrator's voice, but rest assured its a problem that only exists in the demo.

*casts greater thread necromancy*

Since this has a whooping 7 posts in in, rather than making a new thread I'll just post in here.

Anyone up for a game in the next 15 minutes or so?

The game is just Dawn of World War 2. I was to be honest, disappointed as it featured resource management and base building rather than being a truly tactical game.

I'd say its similar to DoW, but a huge step forward in just about every direction possible. That being said, I would welcome a mod that did away with base building.
Despite all that, it is a very fun RTS. It has some micro management, but not too much. And the whole free wire/traps/sandbags thing is just fantastic.

Well, I played a 4 hour game with JerisFlame over on SB last night, it was on one of those maps with the river bisecting it. Me and him were allies, other guys were axis and across the river. Degenerated into arty-fest real quick.


anyone up for a game? IM me if so.

If you want a game like Jagged Alliance, you want Heroes of WW2, not company of Heroes.

Heroes yes, but NOT Faces of War under ANY circumstances.
