A RTS called company of heroes was also released this week. It has been said by PC gammer to change RTS forever. So I bootleged a single player copy, damn its pretty bad ass. Everything is destructible and what not. Its cool try it you will like it.

With the way gamming is going I am going to need to upgrade soon. Intel Core Duo here I come.

Thank you for the detailed review and the bevy of information you presented during that review Whitey. Company of Heroes is a WWII-based RTS. I’ve been hearing a lot of hype about this game, it’s supposed to be pretty addictive. Here’s the web site:

From what I’ve heard, the graphics and physics in this game are incredible, especially for an RTS. You can use buildings and objects as cover and you can destroy anything in the environment. Supposedly, even the AI doesn’t suck. Your team mates will take cover, attack, and perform squad attacks without you even telling them to. Here are the system requirements taken from Gamestop.com (couldn’t find them on the actual game site):

Part Deux:

This game is pretty kick ass I must say, there is alot of video inbetween each segment that leads into battles that build up until they end. I only played the first two missions on normal and realized that I could daydream through this so I have to adjust to hard for more stradegy. Yes the soldiers are fucking smart, they take cover, they will retreat balls to the wall if you tell them to. The only thing I noticed is that they will walk into MG fire if you accidentally tell them too. There is made options and resource ganing is pretty simple in theroy until the germans make a push then u best have deensive positions. And damn doesnt it take some effort to kill the E. All in all this is the best RTS game I have ever playeed. I am a big RTS player and have beaten my fair share so I like it and reccomend it highly. 4.9 ST points on this one.

Have u tried the "Act of War" series? To me that is the best RTS I've ever played. The AI is incredible and the graphics are awsome. However, since I haven't played Company of Heroes I have no real basis of comparison so I will take your word for it.

act of war was great but I personally think that COH takes the cake.

Still playing this with mike.mike mods make the AI stupid hard.
