It is 1941 and the beginning of what will become the most brutal conflict of World War II, as Germany launches a full-scale invasion of the frozen tundra of the Soviet Union which would result in over 14 million military casualties. Take command of the iconic Soviet Red Army in brutal frontline warfare to free Mother Russia from the invading Nazis. Your strategic skills and tactical expertise hold the power to tip the very balance of this conflict in the sequel to the critically acclaimed and multi award-winning Company of Heroes. Engage in visceral tactical combat that will define you as a military leader and challenge you to wield the might of the Soviet Empire as you smash your way to Berlin.
Facts and Features:
- 110 people work on COH2 - Again the right use of the dynamic game environment is important, not the amount of troops - Campaign takes place from 22. June 1941 until Berlin 1945 - Producer Greg Wilson says that Essence 3.0 is on eye level (right translation? ) with Call of Duty or Battlefield - HDR Light, SSAO, new water renderer - BUT they also promise better performance for all PC Systems than in vCOH and Addons - True sight examples: Use Smoke Grenades to sneak through areas without uncovering your best troops. Or blow a gap in a wall to see what is behind it. - The weather is extremly realistic. Snow gathers on static objects and gets blown away by explosions -Snow is not a texture but has deep, so infanterists move very slowly in deep snow (with nice animations). Its easier on the street but the enemy knows that too... - Flame throwers can destroy a house completly. It will slowly burn down until it can't be used anymore - Soldiers now can jump over their cover - The AI in the campaign is now not scripted anymore, they use the same AI as in skirmish mode, which makes it much more interesting - Retreat means death in the campaign (but don't know if scripted or not) - The recoil when the T-34 shoots even affects the environmental physics. --> ground shakes and lets the cup of coffee of General Annoying fall on his new uniform - They want the coop mode to be really big, because a high amount of players prefered to play with other players against the AI - German troops stand out with their advanced technology compared with the russians, upgrades and tactical use of special abilities are more important for the Wehrmacht than for the Soviets - The Russians rely on mass but class and like to use brute force. They got many powerful tanks. - The developers don't want to tell us yet if tanks can break through ice but they said: "Dont underestimate General snow and General mud!" - You are able to steal the enemies vehicles - Base building will stay in game (there was a discussion in another Thread)
