[PC] Company of Heroes

Anyone here have it? This game is totally amazing. The graphics are mind blowing for a RTS and the physics is beyond any other game. You have battle scaring like in the old C&C games but in 3d this time around! Just about anything you see can be blown up with artillary or tanks. The AI is pretty damn good and just about everything makes you go "oooo" and "aaahhhh."

The only thing bad about it is how it's run. You need a damn good computer to make use of everything. With out the grapics and physics it's nothing. So you need at least a mid-high end dual core with 2 gb of RAM to make it really shine. Then top it off with a good video card. Sucks that it wont run with two video cards as anything over 1280x1024 is unuseable at max settings.

All in all it's a great game. Just make sure you have alot of RAM and a fast processor. Otherwise you won't have the full physics effects and this game is all about the physics.

There's jsut some great thrill out of blowing up a building and watching it crush your enemey under it. :evil:

I got it a week ago, I love it, I keep playing it, bad thing is, there's no Direct IP :( it's only Online and LAN...

Otherwise, it's a MUST play regardless if your a RTS fan or not.

Yeah that's a bummer with no direct IP. That's pretty much how I always play via the net on RTS.

Yeah it's a definate must for either RTS fans or WWII fans. ANd if you are both, like me, you can't get a better game. :icon6:

I heard you can fire artillery on one spot, make a fox hole and tell your squad to take cover in side it.

Yeah that's a great thing about it. Need some cover for your infantry then just get a tank or artillery to blast them a hole.

Yeah if you run it in 800x600 with all settings off. But then you wont get the full effect of the game.

Also if you play a long game then you'll need more RAM. 2GB isn't enough for everything maxed out and a game that lasts a few hours. Everything you do is saved. So the more artillery and takes you use the more damage happens and when the damage goes up so does the resoursces required to keep all that info. You are looking at 4gb of RAM useage for max settings.

You never notice any lag after 1-2 hours of gaming on a single map?

So is it worth buying with a X600 128mb graphics card? It can play halflife 2 full graphics w/HDR, my proccesser and all the other crap would be good enough.

x600 is crap. x1300 is crap. x1600 is crap. x1650 is crap. For a low or mid end card the nVidia cards is best.

And the x600 doesn't support HDR also. Only the x800 and above.

It did lag a bit when I had a screen utterly full of units (obviously it was fine with fewer units on screen) - other than that it was alright surprisingly. I was expecting it to run a little slowly like you said.
