Thanks for the info on the tanks Cwivey! Yeah....I'm out at least until BK gets to it. Incidentally, do they also make you shoot your own unarmed men, or did they remove that?

It's OPEN BETA, why not try it out yourselves.
Its a multiplayer lagfest with two viable tactics - Russians basically spam as many Conscripts and T34s/SU-76s they can get there hands on, whereas the Germans just try and hold on until they get Panzer 4s and then its "lets see how many Russians we can kill with zis thing, ja!Oh look, its over 9,000!" CoH 1 is still better atm.

I get so many crashes mid-game its getting really frustrating.. anyone else get that? any solutions?
Also the game plays terrible on my machine, while I can play Red Orchestra 2 on high details - I can barely run this on lowest details and when I put lowest details it still says 'WARNING YOU PUT SETTINGS FAR TOO HIGH FOR YOUR COMPUTER'

Haven't had any crashes yet, but I do get the lag/fps issues even though my computer should be able to run it easily. I hope they fix this before the beta ends.

This is making me glad I didn't cave in to get the beta. Although at this rate, it's starting to sound like I should wait for a sale to ensure the game has been properly patched.

Well at least they're not completely covered in CoH 2 adverts (yet) , because every time I visit PC Gamer a massive box pops up with the CoH trailer and "TEH MOTHERLAND IS CALLING!!!1!!!one!!".

Several patches later and I'm still experiencing enormous glitching in unexplored territory. No way I'm buying until that is fixed, but I probably won't have a chance to check once the beta is done. It's a shame.

I haven't experienced any problems in game. It is common though that at the start of the game a player will lag because of poor matchmaking and they must leave or be kicked. I think its a good game but they do need to work on balancing.

Well they just added about 30 packs of skins and Commanders as DLC to the steam store. Probably best to wait for a 50/75% sale if you want those.

The game is ready for pre-load. I really believe those skins are not worth $2 each for every vehicle class. Waste of money in my eyes. Those commanders are not too good either but I have them because I pre-ordered the game.

I really like the game though. My advice would be to buy it but stay away from the dlc for now

i think the performance of the old COH in beta stage was abysmal too. On retail it was running just fine.
I hope this is the case with COH 2. Edit: Just played it, no issues at all. However the Soviets firing on their own troops thing made it in. They also put the Tiger back in MP & your experience from SP campaign increases your multiplayer experience rank.

best COH2 quote and best video game quote ever goes to the German Elephant tank.
"Ready the 88, Aim, F@%King kill it !"

i fell out of my chair when i heard this.

Hahaha thats great. I just spotted these two achievements - "One Tank Army:
Destroy 20 Vehicles and kill 200 Infantry with IS-2s" and "Sibling Rivalry (Soviet)
Destroy 10 Tiger PzKpfw VIs with IS-2s" :IS2::D

Edit: Just found a good quote of my own - "Yes they ARE shooting at us Comrade Obvious!"

Thought I would check out the Steam page out of curiosity. Wow, they really spared no effort in commercializing the hell out of this thing with the DLC...
