Well I have played the demo of Company of Heroes and I would have to say that I will definatly buy it. I went thru the Tuturial and Skirmish and both were fun. It can be multi player up to 8 people and I would love to see that happen. The graphics are nice and AI seems to work pretty good. You have to maintain control points to raise you supply line amounts. The whole enviroment is destructable.

I will buy it for sure.

I've downloaded it too, but my system keeps locking up on me on this game and on COD2. Gonna try to fiddle with it tonight to get back in the game. Especially since I just bought an Audigy 4 sound card. Wish me luck.

Well, found out what was causing my system to lock up. While peaking around for anything obvious like loose ram I happen to see something strange out of the corner of my eye; a dangling fan hanging off of my video card. Seems that the card (6600gt)only gets hot after a few minutes of game play. So, since I did not have a replacement fan handy I ran out to Best Buy and bought a slot cooler. At first it seemed to cool it, but after about 10 minnutes I was locked up again. Oh well, I'm off to Microcenter for a replacement vid card tomorrow. Sounds like a good time for a small upgrade. In any event I still have a useful 6600gt that I should experiment with watercooling. Anyone tried this befire?

Alright, now with the hardware issues behind me I finally got to play the demo yesterday. I am really impressed with what I have seen so far. My only complaint is that the speed of gameplay seems a little too fast. I'm hoping with a little more time this won't be an issue for me. Once I get my hands on the full version I'll know soon enough. But as of right now I think this would be an awesome game for an RTS only lan.

Thanks for the recommendations. Glad to hear that it was good. I could use something new for my gaming inventory. I'll look into it after this weekend.

Later,

Well, the game play is a bit too fast for my liking. Every game I feel like I'm hustling as fast as I can just to build buildings, make troops, capture way point, etc. The game would rule if it coulld be slowed down 20%. I may go ahead and buy Cossacks II.

Well, got a little free time and decided to pour it in to COH and have changed my rating on the game to a MUST HAVE. Still wish the game play was a little slower but we can't have everything now can we? Anyway, I think this would make an awesome LAN game and I may have to organize another RTS event. Any interest?
