so serious? maybe it isn't properly optimised for amd cards because mine ran fine 

Come join us, we'r still active, TeamSpeak using shinjuru server.

hi new guy, my bro's a big fan of the CoH franchise and he's thinking of buying a retail copy. just a quick question, is the local CoH community still active? dont want my bro's money go to a waste finding out there's no one to play with within the country.

There's still an ok amount of automataches going on in CoH. There's not much in terms of lag commands as well if you're worried about that. Other than that, feel free to ask him to add me up. Always happy to play with and against others.

If you meant the expansions, then it's fine. I recommend getting the full bundle if your brother enjoys single player campaigns. Only get Tales of Valor if your brother plans to just play multiplayer as it unlocks all the factions available.

i google-d up some bundles and found the CoH Anthology with a pricetag of RM80. if my brother bought the retail does he need to activate the game through steam?

It won't be activated through steam. Instead, it'll use the relic account. To obtain it from steam, you'll have to buy it there. Usually, there are cheap deals that give 75% off for CoH on steam.

there's only the relic servers. If your brother doesn't mind waiting for the steam sales (usually around thanksgiving and the upcoming summer sales), then I'd say go for steam. the deals usually means that once converted actually cost less than RM80. (taking into account the exchange rate of 1USD = RM3)

Or if he wants to join up with the online community and start playing, then you can buy him the retail version. All he needs to do is to pretty much add the game onto his steam game list instead.

Company of Heroes 2 release date
Hi everyone,

Following information from SEGA, we now have a revised release date for Company of Heroes 2.  The new release date is 25th June 2013 (note: the press release only specifically states this date for North America and Europe, so dates for other regions may vary, but we can't say for sure at the moment).

Developer Relic will use this time to ensure Company of Heroes 2 will meet the high standard set by Company of Heroes.  While June might seem a long way off, producer Greg Wilson said, "the wait won't be as long as players will soon be able to help us test and balance multiplayer in the upcoming Closed Beta. Details will follow shortly."

GMG Trivia: I totally obliterated Rob in a game of Company of Heroes once, he didn't expect that Doodlebug at all.

looks like the preorder bonus on Steam has been changed entirely, if anyone cares. i thought last time got the reward tier-based bonus, right?

Yea, changed to this totally bullshit one.

Since when Doctrine trees has become DLCs?

I really hope CoH2 isnt destroyed by microtrasactions or tonnes of game changing DLC to imbalance the game. CoH1 had a small, but very interesting competitive scene, and i hope it will still be there.
