Company of Heroes

[Copper]

My missus was out shopping today and brought me back this game, she though that since I play CM I would like this one.

Yeauch, I hate RTS in the main. However if you have played Warhammer 40000 you will know that it takes a very diffrent slant on RTS and this is made by the same guys. It even includes a free copy of Warhammer if you havent got it.

Its not CM by a long way but the graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth and intuative. It definately wont have the longevity of CM but has been very enjoyable so far. You can use small unit tactics with flanking and Mortar teams and armour support.

If you could only weld these graphics onto CM and keep the CM basics then you would have a great experience.

This is maybe a pointer to what CMSF can be. Although be warned it is graphics intensive and I think CMSF will be too, a lot of guys will have to either upgrade their PC's for the next iteration of CM, or in the least get a top notch graphics card.

As always, try before you buy;
