Company of Heroes = the best game ever?

i've been searching through replays, trying to find ones which sound good but if you guys have any, or know of any, link please.

i'm looking for ones which are just awesome, like, not your average or even pretty good ones, to save time. D:

That's a lot of ifs. And it's pricey. I'd rather have a couple of tanks and infantry than ten Nebelwerfers.

Meh, I'm still new to the game.

But I'm one to use alot of mortar teams as Allies, and lots of nebels as Axis.
 
Nebels aren't that bad anymore since the new patch. They're still not really effective at killing, but they do pretty much instapin infantry.

Check out the Gamereplays.org forums. They have loads of high quality replays, and a lot of 'em come with audio commentary.

Also worth checking out is Tales of Heroes They have streaming vids of replays, also with commentary. Bridger can be a little too enthusiastic at times, but it's mostly high quality stuff.
 
I just have to say that I love this game to death, no matter what.

If it goes the way of The Sims and has several hundred expansions... I'll buy them all. :D

Now then, where do I put replays?

considering how successful it's been, there will undoubtedly be at least 1 expansion by next year :)

replays are saved and can be put in my documents/my games/coh/ playback
click skirmish to watch them ingame

BTW, my name is
CorradO (all letters)
add me if you wanna play sometime
 
alright, i've watched some replays and i know a few of the basic strategies (rush, lay barbed, cap and other ones) so i'm going to prac vs some computer than maybe do an unranked match or 2.

thanks for the links shakermaker, that tales one looks interesting.
 
I'll play with you sometime, if we can manage given the probably lag cause of distance

Thanks man.
 
Seems to be the trend in games like this to build shitloads of tanks and swarm them in. Yawn.
10 units+ of ranger infantry will wipe out a tank in seconds and cut through troops. Constantly moving as a group, they are a hard target to hit for artillery and can win the game in a few minutes by sneaking into the enemy base from one side and taking down all the primary buildings. Once you can build these suckers, forget fuel and ammo, all you need is manpower which you will have no shortage of.
Makes the game a tad unbalanced and way too easy.

Rangers FTMFW.

Always good to have a sherman or two backing em up though. Otherwise it's a bit hard to get past those bunkers and into their base. Even using fire up you'll lose a good few men, and artillery isn't always reliable to finish em off.

Edit - Oh yeah, has anyone noticed a dramatic performance increase in 1.5? Used to be I'd lag every time I put the camera on an angle so that the horizon was visible, but now it runs smooth no matter where I'm looking.

too easy eh?
we should definately play :)
 
Okay, are rangers the infantry group which get bazookas/rockets ? Or, which group does and what's the easiest/fastest way to build them ?

And yeah, Ennui and other HL2 people, we'll have to play some time.
 
Rangers get Bazookas, Infantry Soldiers from the barracks don't but they do get Sticky bombs with upgrade and are also the fastest to build.

Both just as effective if used well.
 
I had it for a short while, but since I upgraded some hardware - It might take less than half an hour (True story) to load the main menu.
 
Saying Rangers, do you mean the AT infantry you get as a special Commander ability, or just riflemen?
 
ennui, when the hell are you gonna start playing COH again?
my friend request has been pending for like 2 months, and your record hasnt changed
you're missing out bud
 
i know, i've been playing starcraft and doing school crap

The commander ability ones that you airdrop in, with the rockets and stuff. you can keep dropping in more and more until you reach your cap. A typical squad consists of Chuck Norris, Ray Mears, Bush Tucker Man, Jesus, Hudson from Aliens, and that guy who can kill with just his thumb.
 
lol :p

what about MGs though? pinned infantry ftl. And rangers are 400 manpower aren't they, if not more?

admittedly i've never tried massing rangers, but it seems like it wouldn't work very well. I prefer to just get riflemen and steal the german panzershrecks, plus airborne and AT guns
 
I'm bumping this thread for when I end up puchasing this game, I've downloaded it and am in the process of beating the single-player, but, this game is far too awesome and I must be able to play it online, so I will eventually buy it (maybe tomorrow)
 
Im waiting for a fix so I can use my settings with vista, and im also waiting for the expansion which is going to kick some ass (directX 10)
 
If anyone wants to play a game with me, my nick is Rico21745. Just add me and say you're from HL2.net :-P
 
I've never played Company of Heroes although everyone I know seems to be in love with it. I'm kind of an Age of Empires person.
 
Volks with MP40s = best infantry in relation to thier cost?

Seriously. The take allied infantry apart like they're rag dolls! Add in abilities like assault with grenades or zeal and they're insanely good for base level infantry.

Oh man, online play is even better by a magnitude of 10
 
Make it 20!

Online is awesome, just hope the teams are fair.

Yeah, including three 2p maps from the community map contest. They're pretty good. I especially like Langres.

ya i was kinda hoping for some more 2v2 and 3v3 maps but oh well
so far so good though
i'm glad they nerfed the croc :D
 
Crocodile tank? That was useful?

Also, this GOT to be the most bumped thread ever now.
 
This thread has got to be getting some kind of necromancy-AIDS.

CoH is great, but dear god people, time for a new thread about it!

Glad to see they're still supporting it solidly, of course. :).

Someone calculated that if the Panther did the same amount of manpower killing that the croc did per minute, it would have to kill 2 shermans per shot. It was devastating.
 
God, reading this makes me want to play this again... Don't own it myself but LAN cafeing with mates is best when CoH is played.
