Company of Heroes 2 Brings the Fight to Russia

Interesting. The first game is excellent.
 
It will be interesting to see how the campaign is framed. Indeed many millions of Russians gave their life to end history's most odious and awful regime, it's just a tragic shame that by doing so they ensured the continued existence of history's second most odious and awful regime.
 
Still. VIDEO GAMES. If the story if kept upon the men who fought and perhaps on the civilians who suffered that will be enough. War and Remembrance did much the same and did not suffer for it.

i hope this is gonna be as great as the first installment.

@Dark_Lord_Spam: Thats Stalin. Lenin died in 1924.

@Begilerath: It's fine to flatter your opponent after his dies.

Thanks Relic, but I would have preferred Homeworld 3.

As a collector of Soviet military/civilian awards and a Soviet history enthusiast I am very excited for this. Finally a game by a good developer telling the story from the eastern front. Can't wait!

Man, that Trailer-guy had a sick voice. He was channeling the spirit of Don LaFontaine harder than any impressionist I've heard.

looking forward.

this & XCOM both look like fun strategy games.

I love some Company of Heroes.

I am surprised they waited this long to make another Company of Heroes.

I still play the first Company of Heroes a ton...I am definitely looking forward to number 2.

As a recent convert to all things Relic, I am excited for Company of Heroes 2!

I have Company of Heroes and I've never played it. Am I a bad person?

I am in the same boat as you, though I am in the process of downloading it as I type. Relic games are usually awesome.

Time to get a new PC. I don't care, I WANT this game...

Good to see some action on the eastern front.

YES PLEASE. DO WANT.

@Bakumatsu: Slightly better than the faerie from the Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav game.

Oh shit. They also almost pointed out that the vast majority of German casualties were caused by Russians.

Dear god we are mere moments away from the Americans suddenly realizing that A) They didn't fight in WW2 alone, and B) They didn't win it.

CoH was a hell of a game. Also, motherfucking Lenin drop in that trailer.

Metro Last Light and now this game..is THQ on a secret communist agenda?

I hope so

Actually they are owned by the remnants of the KGB.

I always appreciate when something acknowledges russia's contribution to wwii instead of just glossing over it, or worse.

I do as well. The United Soviet Socialist Republics contributed greatly to the last great war. There are those that simply remember the Red Army as the evil communists but they did sacrifice A LOT to win the last great war. I greatly appreciate their enormous sacrifices.

Can't believe I'm excited about a WWII game, but I totally am!

Man, the first one was amazing. Can't wait!

I don't usually comment on trailers, but this one was really fucking good, it gave me chills. Now I'm of to play Hearts of Iron!

I am too stupid to manage an army and I always get buttfucked and dominated by the AI in Company of Heroes and every other RTS. 
 
But hey, hype!

This trailer is badass. I really like the straight forward talk and not some cryptic bullshit vague explanation about what it is.

I will buy this, and I never played the first... I hear it's good -_-

Hearing Russia's losses in the war just makes me sad

I'm glad someone is paying attention to the Eastern Front

In Soviet Russia, ______ ______ you!

For Mother Russia Comrade! Do not turn your back on her!

Bad trailer but I'm psyched for Company of Heroes 2.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS

Da!

No bows?

Pwoah! All those E3 awards, must be good. But in all honesty I can't wait.

I just finished playing the original CoH campaign for the umpteenth time. That game is so awesome it never gets old.

I'd hit that

@Rohok: To their credit, they're not romanticizing the potential gameplay opportunities with crazy pre-rendered action scenes the in-game action can't possibly match up to. Here, they're setting the stage. Morbid statistical figures to put the fight they want to portray into perspective, and shift attention to a somewhat forgotten front. That's far more admirable than, say, a Killzone 2 (or any PS3 game, for that matter), where nearly all of the trailers and demos between the PS3's release and a couple of years ago were either pre-rendered or running in real-time on idealized PC's that were far and away better than the final release quality.

You know, given the glut of games where you were fighting zombies we've had of late, fighting Nazis again doesn't seem so bad anymore.

Katyushas? Hell yea!

Just a bummer we won't have Panzerkampfwagen Mk. Vs and Mk. VIs to play with given the time period (Those are Panthers and Tigers, to some of you folks).

Finally a fucking trailer.

WWII....It's back, bitches!

CoH is tied as my favorite RTS game with Rise of Nations. So looking forward to this!

I can't wait for this. I just started replaying the original and I can't believe how good it still looks.

GIMMIEGIMMIEGIMMIEGIMMIEGIMMIEGIMMIE I fucking loved the first one, I loved every DoW game to ever come out of Relic, TAKE ALL OF MY MONEY NOW!

Yaaay, more pre-rendered trailers. It so gets me hyped for new games! It's not like any of us want to see real gameplay or anything.

My body is ready!

I goddamn love Company of Heroes, but don't care for that motion-photo video stuff many WW2 games have been doing a lot lately... Can't wait for the inevitable Drew + Dave/Vinny/anyone else quicklook!!

CoH is great.
