Did anyone run this on a 6600GT? My mobo is coming (my older one fried), so I'm excited to try this game out.

Or you can get Vent, Teamspeak. It's less trouble and more convenient.chespace said:

I'm still waiting for console RTS gaming to take off. There have been some good efforts (Goblin Commander, LOTR) but hopefully more are on the way now that a few developers have balls.
I would buy the game but my PC is crap. If I had the power in my PC, I would swipe this game up instantly. Sigh.

Can't you use XBL headsets on the PC? I know you can use PS2 ones because they are USB.Trasher said:

Snipers work so well almost everywhere but a nice and high position works very well, according to the game. I use Snipers to hold heavily contested strategy points most of the time because they'll pick off enemy units in the middle of capturing and then go into hiding again making mincemeat of enemy soldiers.

I think Coot, Drinky, Che, and Wasabi need a 2 vs 2 match. That would be the sickness
A few of the BF2 NeoGAFfers use them.UncleGuito said:

Hey, it was in Saving Private Ryan right? Can't be too wrong.WasabiKing said:
Damn it, I keep popping into this thread even though this game won't even work on my PC. I'm torturing myself.
For snipers I put them on camo + hold fire. That pretty much makes them invisible killing machines/scouts. I then manually tell them shoot one target at a time, giving the snipers some time to go back into camo.
It helps a lot to have a couple other units ready to move in immediately after using the snipers to clear out though.
Snipers are pretty much great for specialized killing, like picking off an officer or clearing anti tank batteries.
Two snipers on opposite ends of an anti tank gun picking off their crew one by one is hilariously awesome.
Such an awesome game, on one mission I actually saw one of my guys run out to an injured guy + give him a shoulder to lean on to get him back to base.

Well they caught me, later on in the game when they introduce anti-sniper units (bikes for germans, jeeps for allies I think) my sniper team is getting shredded.
Back to the drawing board for a new tactic I guess, having snipers scout was such a good tactic while it lasted too.

the level when you have to defend the hill 192 and keep the mortain, that is the hardest level so far.
It's tough because your tanks are disabled and they get tanks themsevles.
but I beat it, yes.

I have a headset. And I have the game. Paid $0.14 for it (traded 3 old games in at Gamestop). I am doing the tutorials. Will be able to play tomorrow night.

ohhh yeah, you get rangers..
but since you need quite a few command points to get them. by then the full scale attack launches. but the rangers did help considerably.

For reference:
I have a P4 3.4ghz, with 2 GB of RAM, and an X800XT (256mb) card. My performance results using CoH's performance test was "Good" with an average FPS of 35.1, the high being 95FPS and the low being 17FPS. I turned on anti-aliasing, but otherwise, the settings it set for me are working fine. I was hoping to run it at 1280 X 1024 (native resolution of my monitor) but alas, the average fps was 27.
Most of the settings are on high. A couple were on medium. The game animates very well and the framerate appears to be holding (although I have only completed the first few tutorial missions).
I am anxious to start peeling back the layers and really getting into this game. So far, it has a ton of promise.

Picked up the game last night before I fly back overseas. Really awesome stuff!
I have everything maxed out, running at 1920 x 1200, but no AA and it looks great and is very much playable
I'm running on a Dell XPS M170: 2 Ghz Centrino, 2 Gig RAM, Nvidia Geforce Go 7800 GTX.
Thank god for this laptop!

Nice, found this on Relic's forums -- lets you slowdown the entire game so it's less hectic and maybe more strategic. Also, for those of you with shitty framerates, this allows you to crank up the visuals and still retain a smooth framerate.

Rangers at the ready! The best part about this game is that I don't feel that I need to micromanage. I hate doing that at work, I don't need to do that shit for my games.
che, that screenshot is a disappointment, you need the crab flail!

Completed my third mission. I'm taking it easy, 1-2 missions per day. Carentan.
So...
Goddamn...
Amazing...
I love how the game makes one think tactically big time, in terms of what type of units you need to get the job done, and how to place them. I had 2 snipers in that Carentan mission that were placed ini ideal locations, with 2 heavy gunner units, and 2 mortar units just destroying the enemy.

I love that it sort of captures the fun that we had back as kids playing with army men (or at least those of us that were around when army men were considered fun). Between the cover, the environment destruction, and the general sense of military bases and such, I get almost a sense of nostalgia from it.
It's not similar to army men per se, but like the evolution of it. Sort of like if you ever looked at the battle field for your army men, or perhaps a Warhammer tabletop, and you imaged how that would translate into detailed virtual reality - the game is grasping at that.
Very few RTS games really established that level of immersion and presence. Most of the time they don't feel rooted enough; like they're simply an electronic table top game themselves, rather than a [virtually] living world.
It's hard to describe, but it's a fun regardless.

I know it AA stands for "ANTI-AIRCRAFT," but it's still not a good idea to try to parachute some troops behind one for a "sneak attack."
I'm on the Hill 192 mission now and it is fun as hell.
I wish this game had a mode where you could turn off tanks and artillery to focus solely on just infantry combat. That's where this game really shines, imo.
Nothing like getting 3 squads to converge on a machine gun next and flanking it with diversion tactics and mortar suppression.
Love it!
