I quite enjoy this game, but the in-game "community" is not very friendly. Anybody care for a game or two without using the word "noob"? :)
I used to play it, until I tried Men of War.

Why do you enjoy Men of War better? If you care to elaborate :)

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter is OK!
Hmmm ... I will try not to go on for half an hour.:) The only thing (slightly) better in CoH is the graphics, its more of a conventional rts with health bars on everything and just a matter of pounding the opponent to bits. (No offense intended)
In MoW the tanks and vehicles have armour values and the different ammo have penetration values according to angle, range, etc. Example: 4 Shermans cant take out a Tiger from long range, they will just run out of ammo (if they survive long enough). The only way for a Sherman to kill a Tiger is to flank it and hit the weaker side armour or the feeble rear armour, just like in real life. Also every part of a vehicle can be shot at and destroyed. Dont have a strong enough gun to penetrate a IS-3? Ok, knock the tracks of it and retreat, then flank the immobile monster and hit it in the side.Tanks and vehicles can also run out of ammo and fuel, so you have to resuplly with ammo trucks. You can also repair and steal abandoned enemy tanks, or pillage. I often take the 50 cal from US tanks and equip an infanteryman with it. Carnage.
Also, a single man with a bazooka can kill super heavy tanks with one shot, so the tanks need babysitting by infantery.
Stuff like this makes me enjoy the game, and sometimes its fun as hell to play multiplayer and just dig in. By that I mean constructing all sorts of defensive stuff like tank traps, sandbags, anti personell mines, anti tank mines, barbed wire. (Not in the spawn as some newcomers do, hehe) All the while fighting off initial attacks while construction is on right behind the front, and then pull back and let the enemy enjoy, hehe. Its just a great game if you like some more realism and more micromangement.
Ah, crap, it got long.

Hi, thanks man! Order of War is on sale @Steam right now. Is that very different? Google wasnt very helpfull.
Order of War is a very different game, which I didn't like nearly as much as Men of War.
Men of War is on Steam for $3.74 now though, can't really go wrong with that...
EDIT: Just bought MoW, played it in the beta and loved it but hadn't got around to buying it until now.
Thats a sweet deal!
Order of War is supposed to be horrible by the way.
OK... I used to play Ghost Recon on my mac when I was a student. Great memories! Dont know what is has to do with Coh?

Thanks guys! Horrible news to wake up to.
Still need some noobfriends for COH if anyone is up for it. Relic nick is the same as here.
Men of War: Gold Edition is available for 7,49€ @ Steam. I will look into that.
Does it have an active multiplayer community?
I should say so, its way fewer players than CoH (I hear) but I play a game almost everyday with no problems. (Except the occasional rage quitter or medieval internet disconnect)
Probably a big boost in players with this sale as well.
I'd play CoH more often but since I only have the first two I'd have to torrent some three or four gigs worth of patches.
That's what puts me off.
Men of war on offer though... :hmmm:
Castout
06-28-10, 07:24 PM
If I were to recommend game now it would be ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead and while at it ArmA 2 itself.
It's not just a first person shooter it's probably the most realistic as the gaming industry and community allow.
And there's the real time strategy element in it.
Base building units buying and commanding.
It's modern though.

Have got all Three COH games but am mid move at the moment and waiting for my belongings to arrive and get my internet sorted.
I got back to this game a month ago and I'm actively playing the multiplayer. Definitely one of the best RTS out there. Indeed the community is not too friendly but there are still few gentleman players out there.
Example about unfriendly players: I was playing 1 on 1 with somebody and I was winning if I remember correctly. The guy was a bad loser and accused me that I was using a map hax. I don't even know what that is :).
My nickname is Auray. I'm also a "noob" (I hate that word) so no worried I'm too good player for you.

So how in CoH do I search for a specific person to add as a friend? I clicked the "friends" button but it just shows that I have no friends. :wah: There's no "add friend" button. :hmmm:
My nickname is CoH is the same as here. I played a couple of skirmishes against the CPU years ago, and that's all the MP CoH experience I have, so I should be easy pickings! :D
Hmm, I really don't know. If you are interested in learning the CoH, head to the gamereplays.org site and company of heroes sections. There are strategies for different factions as well as beginner guides.
HunterICX
07-10-10, 05:31 AM
I got CoH + Opposing Fronts.
@OLC, afaik you can't search for friends, you add friends by right clicking their nicks in the Chat and invite them to be your friend.
so first you'll have to set up a meeting, meeting eachother in the chat channel Amsterdam around that time for example.

1 put more bunkers to defend points, and put observation posts (i think they are called that) on the points, they cant cap them till they distroy the observation post!
VirtualVikingX
07-16-10, 05:04 AM
Yep, faster is the key. And that means grabbing territory. To win we should starve the Americans of fuel. And maybe play a VP match, instead of annihilate. Thats is what I am used to from automatch. I will need to practice my annihilate-games.
Anyway, great that we got a group together. I hope we will play some more.

07-16-10, 05:20 AM
How does Company of Heroes work online? Is it 1vs1 or is it more like World in Conflict with several people but with different roles? (Armor, infantry, support etc.)
VirtualVikingX
07-16-10, 05:24 AM
Its several things. Up to 4 vs 4 is possible. The standard (automatch) is 1 v 1 or 2 v 2. One can also set up custom games, like 4 vs 4, as mentioned. There is no preset roles, but the team mates should communicate to have the best possible combinations of forces and abilities.

Fuel is the last thing you'll grant your enemy so those should be high priority for you to capture anyway, Fuel = Armor capacity.
I don't play VP a lot due the fact I like to crush the opposition completly :DL and not by having a system saying I drained his points.
I guess both can be fun, but as said I haven't played MP against other players that much apart from some friend vs friend skirmish.
but yeah, hope to have more matches with you lot soon.

Problem with basic matches is that lot of people "smurf". They play with a low level profile, even if they are rank 12 - 20. In automatch, you get matched with the highest ranking profile always.
But good games are always good games. Looking forward to it!

Good match hunter... Almost had it the first time. but yer cromwells, and churchill were too much for my small force to take down.
The second one... well my performance was piss poor... at the high I had some engineers, afiew ATs, a sniper, 4 infantrys (maby) and a howitzer...
Also a good matches crecy...
the first one I screwed up with chooseing the panzer elite, which without regular army bunkers, and support are hard to use.
The second match! I screwed up again, I moved on the points too fast and didnt secure my flanks. he brought out planes eventualy and just slaughtered my infantry when I was trying to recap points... how nice... eventualy he brought in abunch of AT and bunkers, and every assult I led was distroyed, even with my king tiger supporting... distroyed.

In the first match I got the high fuel points in my control and had enough time to build good defenses.
The second one. I noticed you used quite a lot infantry so I choosed the airborne. Particularly one strafing was pretty deadly when I destroyed like three squads when they were capping. And I found a 'coward-but-effective-tactic-against-infantry-blobs'. Recon plane over your HQ, you retreated your troops and then I strafed to pin them down and bombed the pinned troops with the P-47 :oops:.
Again I got good defenses with MG nests and AT guns so you did not even had a chance to break through, especially when I had 4/5 map in my control.
Good games, as always!
Let's see if I can find a few pictures..

After doing some research, and figureing out how some stuff works. I actualy managed to win a game against Patato. lol
I bought Opposing fronts. Installed it. Started to download first patch to play it online. I get the message "File corrupted. Try downloading again". I tried to install patches manually but all patches whines that I already have version 2.0.0.1 even my game version is 2.5.0.0. It's always nice to buy games which don't work. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!
:damn:
Edit. Reinstalled it to the default location and the autopatcher works! :woot:

Yeah, you played much better compared to the previous games. Few things what "went wrong" and prevented you from winning.
-You should have be more agressive. I did not have a single troop in the whole north section of the map. You could have taken the points easily.
-And as I did not have troops there you should have flanked me rather than attack straight on against my defenses. For example I did not have any defenses to the 25ers in that case you had attacked me from the north.
-You propably also missed the lack of heavy armor. You got the tiger but it was too late then and the stug does not stand against the firefly. Or you should have build AT's alternatively.
I'm not a master of this game at all but I believe that in some degree because of these you were an underdog. I've played only two games as brits now so read a few counter british strategy guides and you have a big chance to win me!

Yea... that was my biggest issue. I fight best when I have Tanks, and halftracks, with infantry supporting. Also the fact I was trying to build with barely any manpower. I couldnt keep the pressure on the whole front.

Hm, yeah, that can be annoying at times, but I usually have problems with AT guns and the sort. Infantry and MGs usually hits their marks. Not to talk about snipers!
Just lost an Jagdpanther last night when duking it out with a 57mm AT gun from a distance I could've thrown rocks at them. The bloody thing either missed all the time or hit the armor plate.
It seems they've changed the infantry suppression too from the stock COH, it used to be more like in Close Combat where the troops hit the ground if they come under focused fire, now I got one enemy guy standing 5 meters away while my full squad keeps firing at him for the 10 seconds it takes them to hit him. :O:

Sounds very strange, quite the contrary in my games!:hmmm: I for one can bring down masses of infantry with a well placed MG42 in mere seconds. First they get suppressed really quick and then pinned.
BTW, I don't think : O should look like :O: :nope: :haha:

OOOOAAAHHH yes, That would have to be one of my biggest complants. along with how my Tiger has to hit a sherman at close range 2 to 3 times to kill it.

And how that same Tiger takes damage getting hit on the front armour by said Sherman. :-?
Or how AT gun can take multiple shots from heavy tanks to it's frontal plate without effect.
Or how long range smallarms fire can take care of an armored car.
Or how 88 can't hit absolutely nothing, like say, infantry squad standing 15 meters away... still.
Or.. *snip*

Am I the only still playing this?
Had a blast yesterday. Played US on Red Ball Express, with two UK players, and against three Panzer Elite (AI).
Played as armor company. I was on the northern flank. Had a real blast fighting an opponent playing with the Tank Hunter tactic. Managed to work out a very good mix of units consisting of two snipers (one KIA, didn't replace him), two squads of riflemen, one armored car, one halftrack (to quickly retrain troops), one group of engineers, and ofcourse a mixture of tanks. The real powerhorse of my group was ofcourse my Pershing. In true AI PE fashion, the enemy spawned Hetzer tanks, which can be tricky to take out from the front, but I managed, and after some advancing in both directions (not retreating mind you!) the enemy was utterly crushed.
Very good game, I wish I took some pictures...I noticed something rather odd when watching a replay of a match when I played as PE. During the replay my Jagdpanther was destroyed...which certainly didn't happen during the game, I know I'd never let that happen (and I know I'd notice it!) What the heck? :hmmm:
