Sup... I buyed the Gold Edition yesterday... the CF is itching with the game as they always do with everything... but besides that.. is a hell of a great game... omg... havent seen yet any other strategy game so great like this one....

anyone here play it?

 

[Zenoth]

Yeah, it's a nice game, I still have to play/buy the expansion pack though, I'm busy playing other games lately but I do play CoH from time to time, I prefer the Allied forces/American forces due to their Airbone strategy, although I like the defensive one with the Axis, I can never remember its exact name, it's the one that grants those big arse anti-air cannons that can also shoot ground units from INSANE range with INSANE damage and very decent precision.

Ah, I love the Defensive Doctrine...the Flak88 is pretty freakin' too but if you cover it, it's gonna get its ass blown sky high. Luftwaffe has it too.

The British are awesome...

Terror is the best IMO. It doesn't have a bad doctrine ability (while many of the others do have useless things). Firestorm, Propaganda, Zeal, King Tiger, V2 Rocket...

But the game is awesome. Nothing in terms of straight up RTS comes close for me. Can't wait for Dawn of War 2.

I agree, Terror was the best doc. Defensive was my other favorite. THe Flak88 was the best tank killer, especially in Single Mode. In MP, it was a different story. Your Flak's didn't last long but they at least killed the first flank.

MP is a whole different story. I highly recommend you give it a try once your done with the campaign. Its way more challenging, especially on a 1vs1

I didn't really like Terror that much. I really LOVED Blitzkrieg though but they nerfed the abilities in the newer patches (Stormtroopers no longer come with the StuH or Tiger Tank!)

But yeah, I love them Sturmgruppen and their new early access MP44s to death.

I never did finish playing the brit campaign in the expansion. Most of the troops not having grenades made all those infantry heavy scenarios extremely painfull to play through.

 

[Pelu]

the good thing is that with the british infantry you can dig in... and camp for some time in a trench... lol.... and if they throw you fire.. then run lol..

by the way Royal Commandos have grenades and such... and the glider can recruit some more commandos...

Defensive and Infantry are best, since the games so easy to play defensively and harass your opponent. Before airborne got nerfed they were so ridiculously overpowered it wasn't even funny. But in MP games, a mix of doctrines is useful. Nothing as fun as hitting an enemy with a bunch of Nebbys then dropping mortar spam on em then nailing em with 3 or 4 different kinds of doctrinal artillery. Flaks are nice and all, but only if ya got a couple flakpanzers doing the whole strafing defense thing with em... and then you're talking 20-30 manpower just to keep a flak up. If your team doesnt need any help on offense it can be a rock solid defensive setup though. Wish online play supported user created maps better. We fought with it for months and never could get the game to DL maps to people who joined.
A shame they keep nerfing the tank doctrine. Other than light vehicle capture, its a pretty weak choice IMHO, and I've never felt the guys I played against who used it were overpowered.

Anyone here with the Opposing Fronts deck?
