Well hey, at this rate, Company of Heroes 2 will come out before this game is even finished.

[EliteGren]

I think CoH2 will come out before EIRR reaches 1.0 status

[nikomas]

Company of HEROES. In addition, "Company" means only "a body of soldiers" anyways, not necessarily implying that it is a lot of people in the first place.

Whut...?
I was pretty sure it was something along these lines...

"Company - 62 to 190 soldiers. Three to five platoons form a company, which is commanded by a captain with a first sergeant as the commander's principle NCO assistant. An artillery unit of equivalent size is called a battery, and a comparable armored or air cavalry unit is called a troop. "

Sounds just about right in contrast to the game, no?

[Vermillion_Hawk]

I'm talking about the etymology of the word itself, not it's military definition. Ths is, however, beside the point, you just happen to have a predisposition against hero units for some reason I suppose.

[nikomas]

Errr, yes, But I'm pretty damn sure that, given the nature of the game... they are refeering to a military company... lol

Besides, why did you assume I have something against hero units, given the lore of warhammer they make good sense there, but in a semi authentic WWII game like CoH they have no place whatsoever.

There is no justification for "This guy is badass cause he is a hero" unless you want to bring a winston churchill command tank on the field... or the Hitlertiger... I could roll with that

fuck hero units. where are we, in a comic?

No, but I'll mech an exception for Mecha-Hitler

The argument of realism is essentially moot in any videogame, especially Company of Heroes considering that

A) Most soldiers can take one or two bullets and function normally.

B) Tanks don't explode after one or two ATG or AP shells.

C) You can essentially make a squad of zombies with medic stations and Casualty Clearing Stations.

D) A grenade tossed into one building somehow manages to kill three guys who may be located in separate areas of said buildings.

E) Cloaking.

F) Despite the sheer number of bullets it dispenses, attacked squads seem to matrix-dodge most of the MG42's ordnance.

The list could go on. Compared to half of these things, Hero units seem like a trifle. Let's not pretend Company of Heroes is realistic. Or any game, for that matter.

fuck hero units. strategy game != RPG

btw, you dont need to make page-long posts to try to convince me of your point. im here to state my point, nothing else

[RikiRude]

lol, what are the odds of Relic NOT making a coh2 considering the success coh1 had???

Its about as likely as an Irish being sober on st.patricks day.

actually real irish people don't get drunk on saint patricks day, every single irish person i know doesnt drink, it's everyone who wants to pretend they are irish and get shit faced on green beer.

either way, i think we should bet money on when EIR gets 1.0 status and when coh2 comes out lol.

[TheIcelandicManiac]

You guys would have been so mad when you guys saw the 1 man Ami Officer, you could have around 3-4 of them killing stormtroopers in notime while still giving bonuses to everything, shit was so cash.

Strategy game != RPG || Strategy game += RPG. Not really an issue with combining two genres in a cohesive way to create a better game, now is there? But whatever, there will always be Purists in any community. And I'm not trying to convince you, I'm stating my point.

I agree with you

Only time it goes bad is when its done half assed, or just messily

[nikomas]

Yeah, you know what, Company of heroes does have hero units...
Snipers, Officers and Callins like the King Tiger...

Those are the equivilent of other games "Hero" units, but you know what. Giving these units a "Hero" title makes everything so much more silly, while company of heroes isnt that very realistic it does have a down to earth feel about it.

Or better yet, the sniper that have killed 30 men, he, he is a hero, no title needed because everyone in the game knows this already.

To be honest the best way in my opinion would be kind of what they did with the PE vetting.

Choose between attack/defence buffs and abilities, like smoke or a prosperous grenade. Just as long as they fix the mistakes that coho made lol
