Maybe you finally will be able to select more than 10 units and those units will actually reach the target. Afterall it uses the same Engine as EiR (instinct, i mean vCoH xD) so Line of Sight and destroyable buildings are in question.

That looks sweet... Go Relic! If only they had added the Imperial Guard, then it would have been perfect.

To all you Relic haters:
-Did they make a bad game called Homeworld?
-Did the make a bad game called Homeworld 2?
-Did they make a bad game called Dawn of War?
-Did they make a bad game called Company of Heroes?
Now granted, those games aren't International Super Pro gamer balanced, but srew that sh!t, they are all amazing RTS games. They are not likely to disappoint.
The engine is probably NOT the reason for those changes, imho. There is nothing about the engine that would force them to change the gameplay so dramatically. I personally think they are trying to get the tabletop feel.
What does that mean?
WAAAAAAY more strategy, and the heroes....oh the heroes will PWN ASS

Plus in tabletop you don't build a base........ however, IIRC relic said that CoH was going to remove base building too, or at least minimize it a lot - it never did.
CoH has pretty tame "base building" compared to any other RTS. Look at C&C or Battle for Middle Earth games (nevermind Empire Earth, AoE or Supreme Commander) and CoH is very minimalist by comparison. |

There Patch and Release policy for OF and vCoH was horrible and makes me never wanna buy a game from them again. 3 times they made non-english versions of the game unplayable with patches.

Look at C&C or Battle for Middle Earth games (nevermind Empire Earth, AoE or Supreme Commander) and CoH is very minimalist by comparison. True but it doesn't feel minimized. Granted that one structure of each type is enough to supply you with the proper amount of troops to fight the battle, you still need to click build them and manage your base and the battle - and battles in CoH are much more micro intensive than in games like supcom and AOE. |

I just do it the same way i do with most games; Play Demo, if its absolutly fucking perfect, buy it instantly. If not, wait and get it when its 9,99 or 19,99 and has a ton of mods. |

No offense but, what the hell does that have to do? Thats a total red herring right there. While their patches may sometimes hurt non-english versions, that is no excuse to debate the fact that the game is GOOD. Hell, if anything, Relic is one of the few good companies that keep their support constant. Sure, I disliked the whole "login or dont play" move, but with today's piracy, its a must. Stand alone expansion packs, absolutely great single player experiences and constant support for their communityearns them 5 stars ON TOP of their excellent developing skills. Hell, they ARE STILL SUPPORTING COH! Theres a new balance beta coming soon. Have they made mistakes? Hell yes, but NONE OF THEM in the game-design department. |

I hope there is no base-building at all. That is why I love EiR. The progressive elimination of base-building from DoW -> CoH -> DoW2 is a step in the right direction imho.
