Title: Company of Heros
Post by: dogbert on October 03, 2006, 15:07:19 PM
it Rules  :twisted:

Orderd it today, been playing to the demo for weeks.

If you like RTS this is most certainly for you...be the general in command sending the allies over the top.

Wonderful thing those enter your date of birth pages, it doesnt take more than a few seconds for a kid to realise they have to put a date in over 18 years ago.

Having a look ;)

I was almost tempted to try the demo apart from one small point.  Its 1.8GB!

company_of_heroes_sp_demo.exe   1843.78M (http://gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk/blueyondergames/demos/company_of_heroes_sp_demo.exe)

Exactly the same for me, I keep looking and its HUGE, and i keep thinking why? I have downloaded many better looking games that are as big in terms of demo content and no where near that large in file size.

leave the download running while you get some sleep....I did that, took about 4 hours on my 3~4mb/s ADSL line.

Content is; intro video.
Single player campaign (5~6levels)
single map skirmish
Dozens and Dozen and Dozens of units available and multiple upgrade paths so no two games are never the same.

Trust me, if you every played CC/Red Alert/Dawn of War or anything in between then you will be missing out if you miss this one.

finished it last night, its great fun.  Yeah its very much like Dawn of War but heck DoW was rather good so thats a good thing.

Hopefully theyll do lots of expansion packs as theres plenty scope for more.
