I don't know how many of us are still into RTS games these days, but I figured the announcement of a new CoH title was still worth a mention.  Looks like they're focusing on the campaigns in/around the Mediterranean this time.

RPS deems it CoH meets TW...

They may be right, but be careful when considering the source.  I wouldn't trust anything published by RPS, even if they said the sky was blue.  Same goes for PCGamesN, for that matter.

Heh, no one.  It's just been my experience that around 90% of the articles produced by both sties are bullshit.  :P

You live in Minnesota.  Considering the high percentage of gray-sky days, I could understand your confusion  >:D

An ironic comment from someone who's already entered hurricane season.  ::)

No anger here.  It's amazing how much calmer & happier one is when not reading crap content from useless gaming websites.  ;)

I wanted to desperately love Company of Heroes and 2 - but it was just too fast for me. I remember there was a mod to slow the speed down - but that stopped working at some point.

I never could go back to it just because of the speed of play

I would love to see a version implement a combat system similar to the XCOM turn-based tactical battles.
