Yes! Sweet lord yes! Cannot wait!

CoH2? Eastern Front? OMG! This is exactly what I needed after suffering through Condemned Heroes

That bad?

[Ventilaator]

I'm currently in the process of enjoying Dawn of War II, so if I'm done with that I should really play the first CoH.

[Valru]

No words can express my excitement.

[Derrick01]

Published by EA.

Well that's just not nice at all. Don't wish that on those poor souls!

[throwawayname]

FUUUUUUCK YEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!!!!!!

[Keasar]

Are these guys involved in this somehow?

http://www.moddb.com/mods/coheastern-front

Their mod is one of my favourites for Company of Heroes while also being what I consider to be the absolutely best one.

[NinajHeartless]

This is so damn awesome!

Finally the best RTS ever gets a proper sequel. ;D

[Bo]

CoH was one of my favourite RTSes of all time, and to see them choose the largest and most dynamic theater of the war as their setting, well, I'm quite intrigued. The gameplay additions sound brilliant, absolutely the sort of thing I loved the first Company of Heroes for. Please let me knock down more buildings with my tank treads!

[Cramoss]

I bought the GOTY edition of the first one a while ago and I still haven't played it. I may have to fix that soon.

[Lasthope106]

Thank You Based Relic.

Please stay afloat THQ. Please stay afloat.

[MyMyAxaco]

Awesome. My favorite RTS gets a sequel. Hopefully THQ stays alive.

[Ysiadmihi]

Excite!

Though I hope they tone down on some of the randomness in the series, at least in ranked games.

What do you mean by that? Relic's RTS's have never been straight up number fights like SC1 and SC2. Ever since DoW1, Relic has been using stats that have damage ranges and ranged weapons have hit % chances rather that "always hits on contact".

Some randomness is fine by me, but having your sniper killed by another even though yours fired the first shot or watching a tank spend 30 seconds mowing down your infantry while it's "Out of control" is infuriating.

[Hayvic]

Jesus, Conrad! Tie your fucking laces!

This is a good pick me up after Valve decided to poop on E3.

I prefer randomness to a straight-up numberfest. Gives the battles a chaotic edge to them.

[Enosh]

wanted modern warfare :(
oh well russians will do

Systems like that made the game even better in MP. So much fun was had.

I agree, but at least for ranked mode I wish there was a little more reliability.

[Saty]

There are scans linked in one of the PC-specific news sites.

[Lion Heart]

I wonder if it will look better than Shogun 2.

[wolfmat]

Ostfront? Holy fucking shit.

[derFeef]

I wonder if it will look better than Shogun 2.

Why would you say that, Shogun 2 looks great (in detail).

[Prophet Steve]

Why would you say that, Shogun 2 looks great (in detail).

Because Company of Heroes 1 looked great and he is hoping for an even better looking game than Shogun 2 I think?

[HoosTrax]

Jesus, Conrad! Tie your fucking laces! This is a good pick me up after Valve decided to poop on E3.

Now I do a double take every time I hear Brandon Keener's voice in another different game (he's the voice actor for the American sniper aka Boogieman, as well as Craft from CoH:ToV). I guess he's famous to most people more as the voice of Garrus in the Mass Effect games, but I'll always remember him as Boogieman.

[Ysiadmihi]

I wonder if it will look better than Shogun 2.

Given the smaller scale of the battles I would hope so. I guess it depends on what type of hardware they're shooting for though. It'd be hard to make it look better than Shogun 2 if they want older PCs to run it well.

[derFeef]

Sure, but it's a weird thing to say because Shogun 2 is not made by relic...

[Dakota47]

God yes! The first CoH was the game that got me into online RTS games. Can't wait for this sequel to come out.

[Arxisz]

Ohhh hell yes!

[nilay]

ohh yes my favourite rts gets a sequel

[Easy_D]

Relic has two surviving teams.

Would one of those teams have anything at all to do with Homeworld? :'(

Anyway, great news, love CoH!

[Femmeworth]

Fuck yes!

[Proelite]

This game better sell a million copies.

Russia, you better do your part!

Expansion would probably be American vs Japanese, although the lack of tanks of the Japanese side would be difficult to balance.

Maybe the Imperial navy will play a big part, or they can use some experimental Japanese tanks.

[FartOfWar]

Shawn Elliot just fainted.

Fuck yeah, folks.

[Houston3000]

Nice! Loved the original, probably one of my favorite RTS games - though I never got too much into the multiplayer.

[Corto]

Ok. I'm more composed now. FUCK YEAH

Hope it fares better than the first too. It will be my day one of 2013 and the only Special Limited Edition of the generation (if it has one).

[Teknopathetic]

I wish this was Elder Scrolls Online or Homeworld 3.

[witness]

Holy crap. FUCK YEAH!

Never thought I'd see the day! My absolute favorite RTS series returns.

[Proelite]

I wish this was Elder Scrolls Online or Homeworld 3.

Maybe they'll make Homeworld 3 in the next decade, or when Relic starts a kickstarter for it.

The good thing about COH is that it doesn't have to stick rigidly to realism, so I'd imagine a Japanese side would have certain bonuses attributed to them to balance some stuff out. No infantry suppression, perhaps, or uber booby trap and ambush capabilities.

[ghibli99]

This news will not be topped today. Good stuff!

[crazyjah2003]

If only they would ditch WWII and go toe to toe with Generals 2; I'll happilly settle for this however.

[Spookie]

ABOUT GOD DAMN TIME TOO.

[AdrianWerner]

That bad?

The laziest "game" I've seen in years. There are some good points about it, but every single one of them is because it was based on Men of War engine, the "effort" of the Condemned Heroes team didn't bring anything to the table.

After Vietnam, I decided to ignore the MOW franchise. I guess I was right. :|

[Jake Tower]

I missed out on the original CoH, but have heard great things about it over the years.

How was the multiplayer scene for CoH? I like StarCraft 2, but the hardcore competitive scene for it makes it an unappealing environment for me.

Does CoH have a good competitive community that isn't too up the ass of tournament focused/ranking meta play?

If it's good, I may jump in on CoH2.

[epmode]

Homeworld 3.

*wistful sigh*

Someday.

[beast786]

This is God Day.
