YES, loved COH. Relic RTS multiplayer is so much more appealing to me than Starcraft as it emphasizes tactics over micromanagement. Not worried about the THQ situation, Relic and Volition are guaranteed to be picked up if THQ goes under.

In the 40K fiction the battles are like 100 times more massive than WW2 battles, so I don't think that necessarily means anything regarding gameplay..

In fiction? Sure, but the game was just WH40K, not WH40K Epic
Personally I think they will keep the large battles in COH2. It doesn't make much sense to create two similiar RTS-es, only in different settings. This way both COH2 and DOW2/3 can have their own identities.

So is Relic doing DoWIII and CoH2?

All things point to exactly that.

I wonder what they plan on doing with unit movement. If they'd like to offer CoH as a tournament product they'll have to take on official stand one way or the other.

Are they going to keep the classic movement or will they incorporate more advanced options into the game?

This is exactly what I wanted. I'm glad they didn't waste time doing a Cold War "what if" game.

Also, we already have one of those, and it's really good.

Well DoW2 and CoH were pretty similar in unit numbers. There's enough other stuff to set them apart. Also, I think having masses of units doesn't really make for a good RTS.

There was a great mod for COH that already covered the eastern front, and did it quite well.

Whatever, still day 1.

I haven't actually played the Dota 2 beta yet (too scared since I've never played a Dota game before.)

What are you talking about?

YES YES YES HOW DID I MISS THIS.
Please don't DoW2 this, I liked DoW but would hate that no base system in CoH.
Fuck I WANT VIDEO.
