BF2S Forums [Company of Heroes] General Discussion

Im also up for game if anybody wants, 1v1, or 2v2?

But I would prefer if it was someone lvl 8+

Add me on steam, or Xfire (I rarely use xfire though)

I've got it, played it a few times, didn't really like it all that much, but it'd be cool to play with some BF2s guys.

Yeah, hands down my favorite RTS to date. I've been playing the game since 1.3 or so (lvl11 auto, lvl15 basic); "Augustas" is both my steam and coh acct handle.

I loooooooooooove this game, and have been playing pretty much nothing else with my friends lately. Finally got everyone decent, we play a lot of 2s 3s and 4s now. Played over 500 hours now

ToV units are OP. Not ridiculously so, but I don't understand how any of the normal units are better than their ToV counterparts. (kettenkrad being the exception, I like repair a lot more than the mine drop.) Kangaroo carriers are insane, two roos with three piat squads, two lieutenants, one captain, two bren squads is absurd. You can button up enemy tanks with the bren while you rape them with piats while being completely protected from anti-infantry fire, then even if they do kill your (possibly over-repaired/hull down) roo your infantry pops out with triple vet officers.

Working on that brit strat right now, PE going for panthers early, and trying to avoid the temptation on wehrmacht of skipping krieg barracks and stug armory.

How did PE get nerfed in 1.6?

er, 2.6

They just suck now.
No way to combat brit emplacements/ rifle spam.

Got ToV, the Tiger Ace and Bridge campaigns were really fun.

The Falaise pocket, not so much.

I like this game if anyone else has it or wants to play just send me a friend request my username is knives569

Damn it I can't seem to find the original and Opposing Fronts anywhere.

Should never have lent it out to a friend

My friends are c***s when it comes to games.

They come over, steal some, and I let one borrow BF:MC for the PS2, and the bastard tried to sell it, and they'd only give him $10.

Its the same with Rapidshare accounts, that we share with each other (well basically me giving it to them). I give it out and about 3 days later the password has changed.

So now if I dont give anyone anything, they think Im a cheap wanker.


Havent played CoH in aaaages.

Anyone know where to get some custom maps or something? Im bored of using the same strategy over and over for each map.

Hey people. Just started playing CoH so I'm learning the ropes. I have been playing some auto-matches and regular hosted games. For the most part I get the whole micromanage thing, read and watched a few tutorials. I mostly get my ass kicked. No matter what army I am. The other team a lot of times has multilple halftracks, or light armor up in no time. Along with multiple squads of inf. I don't understand how the resources are gathered so quickly, assets built, and units produced. Maybe I just suck.

Fuck tutorials. Download saved games on the web from the players in the top 10 of the leaderboards, that's how I learned. And what way you build things and what to build varies on the gametype. Let me show you.

In a 1v1 playing as Wher, I always go-
Start with 1 Pio; build another to have a total of 2 Pio squads> Get them to build a Whermacht Quarters, first out is a Volks squad(Or MG/Bike if it's brits), then an Bike and another volks and 1 MG.

It's very important to not camp MG's and such in building, always have them moving around. This is where your micro will come to play, if you do it will you'll have the game won.

And I normally get map control(fueld points are important) cause I rush to T4 and get an Ostwind and P4 then vet my tanks.

For the Americans, I always build a rax straight away and make 3 Rife squads, then a Jeep and go for tanks(or BAR if I get the fuel points). You really have to manage the 3 squads well if you blob them like a nub and don't manage them individualy an MG will rape you and game over. Also, anything that's in cover, run your Rifles onto them.

It's mainly down to getting a routine for each encounter, eventually you'll use your initiative to judge what to build in situations. Watch the leaderboard guys replays and you'll see they normally start the same way.

Ain't played CoH in ages ;(
