New Info from German PC Action Magazine, 15th May 2012:

Facts: - 110 people work on COH2
- Again the right use of the dynamic game environment is important, not the amount of troops
- Campaign takes place from 22. June 1941 until Berlin 1945
- Producer Greg Wilson says that Essence 3.0 is on eye level (right translation? ) with Call of Duty or Battlefield
- HDR Light, SSAO, new water renderer
- BUT they also promise better performance for all PC Systems than in vCOH and Addons
- True sight examples: Use Smoke Grenades to sneak through areas without uncovering your best troops. Or
blow a gap in a wall to see what is behind it.
- The weather is extremly realistic. Snow gathers on static objects and gets blown away by explosions-Snow is not a texture but has deep, so infanterists move very slowly in deep snow (with nice animations). Its easier on the street but the enemy knows that too...
- Flame throwers can destroy a house completly. It will slowly burn down until it can't be used anymore
- Soldiers now can jump over their cover
- The AI in the campaign is now not scripted anymore, they use the same AI as in skirmish mode, which makes it much more interesting
- Retreat means death in the campaign (but don't know if scripted or not)
- The recoil when the T-34 shoots even affects the environmental physics. --> ground shakes and lets the cup of coffee of General Annoying fall on his new uniform
- They want the coop mode to be really big, because a high amount of players prefered to play with other players against the AI
- German troops stand out with their advanced technology compared with the russians, upgrades and tactical use of special abilities are more important for the Wehrmacht than for the Soviets
- The Russians rely on mass but class and like to use brute force. They got many powerful tanks.
- The developers don't want to tell us yet if tanks can break through ice but they said: "Dont underestimate General snow and General mud!"
- You are able to steal the enemies vehicles
- Base building will stay in game

Last week's PC Action German Magazine have had tons of new info and screens, unfortenly due to others using the net atm, i can't upload the new pics that has being posted online from the German magazine today. But tomorrow once im alone, or the others here are not using the net aswell, i will edit them in the OP.

The new info however i have added today, check the bottom of the OP to find it.

[Vez04]

As promised, PCAction's scans are now up.

Check the bottom of the OP to find them.

[Vez04]

As the dev's twitter promised. The first worldwide previews (as far ive seen so far) are now online, and not even that. They also release 4 new screenshots from the game following the previews today + PCG has the world first (from their last weekends Relic visit) interview up!.

It has being added to the bottom of the OP, and let me tell you. They will make the sequel even better the first one! i suggest you check out all the info on the OP.

[ErichHartmann]

I haven't played a good RTS in years. Can't wait!

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

Company of Heroes 1 looked nice, but I didn't get any copy.

Looks promising, I'm looking forward to it. Can I side with the Germans? because other sides are boring!

I love the Company of Heroes series,but from a tactical point I thought the game was rather weak.If anyone ever played the Close Combat series you will know exactly what I am talking about.I am still looking forward to it,the Battle for Kursk should be epic.

[Inquisitor Recon]

I must have sunk 150+ hours into playing CoH1 and mods for it (including an Eastern Front mod). I do wonder if THQ's financial issues will hurt the game however. I believe Relic had to lay off a sizable number of employees across the past several months. DoW2: Retribution was good but you could tell where corners were cut.

[TheBlackBaron]

Kursk! If they manage to pull it off satisfactorily...it'll make armored combat in something like C&C seem like a pissing match.

As usual, the environmental effects are quite good. I'm particularly impressed they're remembering the effect the spring thaws and the infamous Russian mud had on operations in the theater (I've only seem grand strategy games like Hearts of Iron model that before). Better yet, unlike with the original game, this time 'round I have a computer capable of running it on high graphics.

[Homebound]

youre tearing me apart lisa!

Yeah, thats a concern i have aswell. But i have faith in Relic.
