Company of Heroes Out

I know the WWII genre has been beat to death, but the game looks like a fun RTS

I'm downloading the enormous demo right now (7 hours remain ) to see if my 5950Ultra can take it.

Dont think your gfx will handle it to well.

And the game sucks, to little realism for my taste.
It take like 2 min for a MG42 to kill some soldiers, common.... Or look at the tank ranges, something lik 10m

Its like Warhammer DoW but i WWII settings. In DoW i wrked here it dont.

the game is supposed to be fun, and not realistic...
and in my opinion it IS fun, and maybe the best WW2-RTS game i have ever played.

its hard to make a RTS realistic... i mean... an MG has a range of maybe 1km and more... impossible to have this in a game combined with good graphics. you could do it with very simple graphics, but then no one would give it a try because "teh grapH!cz R teh sux0rZ".

No WWII RTS has surpassed the might of the Close Combat series yet.

I think it reached its ultimate refinement on the third one. But I am heavily biased.
