CoH Expansion....The Russians and Japanese....
(Shamelessy ripped from SA.com)
Are not coming

Players take command of the German Panzer Elite as they struggle against the might of Operation Market Garden, or lead the British 2nd Army in the vicious battle for Caen, France. The standalone title features two unique armies with full length campaigns, new multiplayer modes, Microsoft DirectX(R) 10 support, mission persistence, improved vehicle and soldier AI, enhanced physics, and a dynamic weather system. Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is fully compatible with Company of Heroes, allowing players to wage war with four unique armies.

hey but at least you can play as the British and...
Germans...
again...

While any CoH expansion is cause for great jubilation, I am profoundly dissapointed that it is not on the Russian front. How much more of a no brainer can it be? The Japanese I can live without easily enough, but the Russians offer the best option for diversity. You know you want to spam conscripts where every other guy has a rifle. I like playing as Germany but would much rather have an entirely original faction added. Works for lazy developers as well, just add new maps and Russians to fight the existing Germans.

Mmm, it makes sense. Adding those other sides would require tons of new artwork for landscapes and such. But what kind of side is German Panzer Elites?
This is what really excites me. Mission persistence, in multiplayer? Does that mean we'll get to play mini-campaigns? That would be amazing...new multiplayer modes, Microsoft DirectX(R) 10 support, mission persistence, improved vehicle and soldier AI, enhanced physics, and a dynamic weather system

Some kind of unit and situational persistence between missions would really benefit almost every RTS type game. It would be a good way to take resource management off the board and still make it interesting and vital to gameplay as well.Tanasinn wrote:I maintain that CoH would have been superior if it had forced you to manage your manpower and heavy metal in a manner similar to Mechcommander.

I, personally, am pretty damn bored of seeing the same sides over and over again.
Bah, some Poles on horses fighting tanks? Color me uninterested!*

"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."
We're talking the first Blitzkrieg - the testing of German strategy and tactics for the first time since versailles. Acts of heroism worthy of any other war theathre to come, the last cavalry charge of the war (no, not against tanks ), heavy use of armored trains, nasty city fighting, a small garrison holding out for 7 days with nothing but earthworks and little brick buildings against a battleship, dive bombers and a heavily armed batallionLonestar wrote:

with armor. Evolution of infantry tactics on both sides. A desperate struggle for survival against ovewhelming odds (a theme that makes any story ) Little things like these.
Also, they never fought German armor mounted. Just making sure you don't have the brainbugLonestar wrote:*Yeah yeah, I know that they were more like Dragoons or recon rather than Cavalry. Just messing with ya.

I think the reason we are getting the British instead of the Russians or Japanese is that both those sides would require entirely new terrain sets and completely new maps to be played on; by contrast the British (and new German) side will both be compatible with existing maps and terrain.

Well, it happened once, but that was when the cavalry routed German infantry and then got ambushed by panzers. They never deliberately fought armor from horseback.PeZook wrote:Also, they never fought German armor mounted.

Yeah. There were two camouflaged halftracks there who supported their infantry with machine-gun fire, and so the cavalrymen retreated. No charge with swords against tanks - Polish cavalry had Bofors anti-armor guns and AT rifles for thatThe Dark wrote:Well, it happened once, but that was when the cavalry routed German infantry and then got ambushed by panzers.
