Title: Soooo anyone want to play some CoH?
Post by: CajoleJuice on May 28, 2008, 11:54:19 PM

I just got my shit ruined in my first online game. :(

I forgot to pick American, so I was German and was even more noob than I should've been. :(

You need to man up and play some WoW.

Sorry, I still haven't even touched the tutorial thanks to Civ4. :(

Fuck WoW.

:bow Beezy :bow2

:piss WoW :piss2

Well, my first game was a 4v4 with some people that knew what they were doing. I just played a 1v1 automatch and kicked the guys ass, even though I was German again. Holy fuck, the V1 rocket was pretty much the most awesome thing I've ever seen.

I might be up for some games this weekend, Cajole. I'll PM you with my free times later this week.

Also, the Wehrmacht side is my favorite one of all of the COH armies. It's elegant, has good command trees, and has little in it that is really terribly overpowered. I usually go volks->mg42->bike->volks or mg42 depending on map, and then t2 for a pak38 and grenadiers/shreks. It's a solid opening and the game organically flows really well from there. I love the early map control that the MG42 team gives you.

One of the cool things about playing COH was when I went and started playing hardcore WW2 stuff like Conquest of the Aegean later on most of the basic COH ideas applied-MG and AT gun facing, terrain, indirect fire support, etc. Part of COH's enduring appeal for me is in the way it really touches on a lot of old wargaming elements in a way that is natural and accessible to the regular RTS player.

Good stuff, Frag. Yeah, I went with an MG42 team early too. I'll keep that build order in mind. I can't really comment on the second half of your post. I just know that this game is different than every other RTS I've played (I've stuck to the popular ones), and it is so fresh and awesome because of it.

Stop shitting up my thread, T234!

I just purchased COH last week in the hopes that my brand new laptop could handle it, boy was I disappointed when I was getting only 1 frame every five seconds. ANybody else having problems running it on Vista or it is my laptop's GPU that only has 64 mb of dedicated vram that is causing the slowness?

I'm gonna guess it's the latter, big time. I'm able to run it on Vista fine.

Same here. The framerate drops a bit though if I set everything to high.
