Pulitzer Laureate Posts: 731 Joined: 12 Dec 2007     | It looks like I can hang onto my old rig for a little while longer then. I too am impressed that with the shiny graphics it requires such small things of a computer. They must be pulling the modders from the Relic community in! |

There was for the original, so probably. That's what got me into it. Really well executed, even at beta stage. |

Speaking of Relic, what is up with this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_of_Heroes_Online |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2381 Joined: 29 Oct 2008    | I never really played the first DoW but as everybody keeps going on about how amazingly amazing it is, and I'm a huge RTS fan, I'm definitely going to get this at some point. There a confirmed date or anything? |

Theyv probably sold the rights to a chinese MMO firm (like EA did for Dungeon Keeper).
Its out on February 27th. And iv just discovered that pre-ordering grants awesome unlocks, but there a FOUR different pre-order packs, one for each class. |

Yep. To this company, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanda I love CoH. Hope I get a chance to check it out someday. Oh well, either way, there's another expansion coming out to whet my appetite. |

Ah, thanks for the heads up! |

Beat Writer Posts: 190 Joined: 13 Dec 2007 | I'm severely hoping that the multiplayer area isn't the same as the one in CoH. I could NEVER get on the damn thing, and due to the really pathetic serial key problems, I gave up on playing it in the end. Loved Dawn of War and all the expansions, and can't wait to get this. I am a bit skeptical about those requirements though, technically I have more than the recommended requirements and I'm expecting it to run like a dog with a bad leg. |

Paperboy  Posts: 14 Joined: 13 Sep 2008   | I think even the recommended is a bit low... I'll keep my comp a bit higher just to be on the safe side. Company of heroes was one of my friends' favourites. So Relic better put up! I have the DOW1 Cds right in front of me as we speak. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 82 Joined: 25 Dec 2008    | I'm glad the requirements are that low, seeing as I'm running it on a laptop, and well, yeah, we all know how easy they are to upgrade |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 988 Joined: 22 Sep 2008     | Looks a bit above Company of Heroes, which is to be expected. I assume they've optimised their engine a bit since then, because that thing can really chug sometimes despite not producing very pretty graphics anymore. |
Anonymous Source Posts: 10 Joined: 7 Jan 2009    | The advancements in technology are as I see them, not to update you graphics card to bizzillion gigs so you can run GTA 5, but to be able to get a game to look amazing on a system that hasn't been updated for a year or so. Also why I think Plasma TV's are junk, since they manage to hump more electricity on a month on a32" screen than my old tube does on a 36" in a year. (ROUGHLY) |
