Company of Heroes 2 official announcement
I must have played the first eight missions of the original a dozen times. Always getting massively stuck on a very specific mission after taking and then defending one of the French cities I cant remember.

I'm extremely excited about the prospect of an 'HD' Company of Heroes. Dawn of War 2 justÂ didn'tÂ do it for me, despite sinking around 15 hours into it. It was just tooÂ similarÂ in each mission.

Hopefully they can add some variety here without the need of ramping up the difficulty to crazy levels.

First one was one of the few rts games I could be bothered with. Loved it. There's something great about all these little guys throwing themselves around the scenery.

And those little guys bled too. Â One of the few RTS's that made me think twice before I sentÂ my forces to take out a machine gun nest.

I dont think it's any coincidence that the industry started throwing the term visceral around the time this game was released.

Oh i'm in love. Eastern front. Here's hoping they include the multiplayer game modes from Tales of Valour. Especially Stonewall.

CoH was pretty visceral indeed. Some of the firefights my men went through looked a bit farsical though.

I'm stillÂ regularly playing the originals. Â Can't wait for number 2.
I found the overly scripted missions of the expansions a bit annoying but overall COH is up there with the Total War series for best RTS game.

I love Company of Heroes. One of my all time favourite games ever! And still play it now.

I knew CoH2 was coming but wasn't sure when we would see an annoucement.

For the record, when Company of Heroes: Online was cancelled, I actually did shed a tear. I still mourn that game! RIP CoHo!

I hope the sequel caters to turtles a bit more. Â I always wanted to dig in and let the AI flounder against my entrenched position. Â But the reality in most multiplayer maps was that if you didn't wipe out the AI's base before it found yours, you'd beÂ overrunÂ very quickly.

There's a Steam sale on the originals now, if anyone missed out the first time.

It's a cracking deal.

This also made me laugh.

One of those teaser trailers that manages to show nothing.

I'm still excited though.

I still have my anthology despite not having anything to play it on.

Right once we have this out of the way it's Homeworld 3. It has to be.

Howdy, Stranger!
