Company of heroes
- Thread starter Necro
- Start date
Howitzers are quite possibly the greatest thing in this game, hearing the thunder like sound in the distance
.....silence.......
KABOOM
Hundred-foot plumes of dirt and dead soldiers flying everywhere. Simply magical.

the 2nd mission was sweet! The beta demo is unoptimised though and a bit of a hog
I played that mission twice. First time I set up all my AT guns and troops at the bridge and arty killed em!
The 2nd time, I just mined the bridges
I set up the left as per before, one AT on the side angled in behind sandbags, and a mg emplacement, plus one para squad in the building overlooking the bridge with a picked up shrek and a Mg unit.
While in the centre I set up 4 AT guns further back at the base of the town centre, away from the townhall, built up sandbags to cover the AT guns, and had 3 mortars, plus a sniper and para squad on each side in the buildings covering the approach to the town centre clearing. Also built 2 MG emplacements to cover the AT guns. Along with barbed wire
On the right side I set up an AT gun, and 2 MG emplacements protecting it in a crossfire at the fuel point.
Put a sniper on the German side of the bridge in a building to keep the Germans busy
That worked well, I avoided the arty and the setup minced up the Germans!
I'll try it again and take a screen cap.
I can see lots of replayability in the campaign missions in the full game, it plays differently everytime and the buildings collapse etc. Unlike other RTS games or Dawn of war. The singpleplayer missions, are much more fun than the multiplayer ones. Plus you can pause and give orders and scroll the map to get a breather
Need to get 2 gig of ram though....

Try fortifying the top right-hand corner of the map with everything you can lay your hands on, I guarentee you will not loose if you fortify your position just right. You might need to fortify the other two roads with a squad of paras or a jeep aswll.

Figures they piss up my favorite map. At least there's still Hill, which is mindnumbingly awesome holding out on the central hill as US Airborne. If only there was a small shack to set up a forward HQ. I'd be completely set and would actually be able to reinforce instead of relying on medics and para squad drops.
And there any word on a 4v4 map? If they want us to test their game, the least they could do is test all map configurations. Unless that's Dawn of War residue and 6 players is the planned max.

There are 4vs4 maps in the retail game, but I don't know if they will pop em up for beta though
that's why the unit caps have been reduced to accomodate the 4vs4 maps
