Personally, I believe they are going to go for the Eastern Front - frankly because of the massive demand for it that they've been having for it from the CoH community.

I also believe, after seeing DoW2 and CoH:O that what they are doing is going for something rather EiR-esque in gameplay. Perhaps this time around they will actually manage to do it right, but one can only hope.

aslong as it involves hot asian girls during the cutscenes i dont care

Wrong franchise bro

Anyway, I doubt it's even COH.

[Smokaz]

Dow is still funz, you get what you pay for.

As long as you dont buy it early.

COH2. Woah.

[PonySlaystation]

If they make CoH 2 they will use the DoW 2 engine and probably remove some base building parts and focus on more combat like DoW 2 and use some improvements from CoH:O like the interface/automatch  (I dunno if it's better, maybe CoH:O just had more players). Most likely it will take place on the Eastern Front or in North Africa/Italy.

If it does take place on the Eastern Front then you should not compare it with the mod. The mod does have some nice skins, sounds and animations but everything else is crap. When they created the mod they were thinking of lots of awesome units and then decided why not give every single one of them to the Soviets. Resulting in some horrible balance problems which still exists.

It's still more likely that they are working on Homeworld 3.

as long as they dont make coh 2 much easier and with less units ( good example is the way from dow to dow2 ) and have a certain deep in the gameplay i am looking forward to coh 2.

[deadbolt]

need coh 2, so bored of normal coh.

You guys do realize how badly CoH2 will fuck with CoH's balance if set in Africa, right? The PzKpfw 161 (P4) won't be a 'meh' medium tank, those things were the be all and end all in africa. Say hello to the Pz III with a high velocity 50mm gun that buttfucks everything in your arsenal too. Kiss your overdrive cromwells goodbye, you now get to use the Crusader Mk I and II Cruiser Tanks--lighly armored and armed with a 2pdr (40mm). Churchills are out as well, you get the Mathilda II tank; fat-assed IST with a 40mm gun and a shit ton of armor. Oh, and if you play as the americans, you're more then likely to get stuck with a crapload of shite Stuarts and, if added, even more shite Lee/Grant units. German infantry is going to rape even more face too ^^.

So the Eastern Front devs work their asses off and make a proffessional mod with a new faction, and Relic goes to Africa. Wtf!! xD Oh well, at least they can (try to) redeem themselves after CoHo.

If you want Relism go play MOW:AS not this ffs.

[TheVolskinator]

How else would they balance it? The new units will be smexy as hell (AfrikaKorps fanboi!!) but I dunno how Relic is going to balance the 1943-esque units.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

Crusaders, Crusaders everywhere.

[Mysthalin]

How else would they balance it? The new units will be smexy as hell (AfrikaKorps fanboi!!) but I dunno how Relic is going to balance the 1943-esque units.

They'll balance it by not strictly adhering to realism? Just like they didn't in CoH1?

[TheVolskinator]

Crusaders + overdrive...those things are going to fucking zip around the map. Make cromwells look sluggish ^^

Myst, thx for the crack, it was really neccissary. Fuckers..

Africa would be kind of boring to be honest, doesn't have the same depth to infantry combat that the Western theatre has.

[Mysthalin]

Indeed, is why I figure Eastern Front.

Or, failing that - Pacific theatre but focusing only on the larger engagements where tanks were used.

Or, failing even that - it might not be WW2 at all.

[Unkn0wn]

It might be vietnam, lord save us.

[Mysthalin]

With Relic going for smaller scale in DoW2(compared to DoW1 anyway) - it's not exactly unreasonable for that to happen :S.

You'd take charge of an elite commando squad, lalalala...

[PonySlaystation]

Africa would be kind of boring to be honest, doesn't have the same depth to infantry combat that the Western theatre has.

Italy would still be interesting. They could have both Italy and North Africa.

[Tymathee]

DoW2 failed didn't it? I doubt they'd repeat that but don't be surprised to see things we saw in CoH:O (and in that regards, things we see in EiR) make it into CoH 2. If they go Pacific, I can definitely see Hero Units make a huge appearance but ground engagements were largely american focused, not so many tanks, lots of infantry kind of boring, which is another reason why Africa/Italy/Middle East makes much more sense, way more vehicles.

[Killer344]

My bet is on Homeworld 3, without a second thought.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

I will be happy both ways tbh.
