Dear mother of god... CoH2 confirmed!

[Kubador]

My jaw dropped!

- 2013 release
- Main campaign is Eastern front, playing as Russians
- Lots of snow. Snow slows down troops and tanks, but can also form cover.
- Units can vault over cover such as low walls.

Bricks were shat. I hope that there will be as awesome mods to it as for CoH1. Why do I hope for this? Because while vanilla CoH is helluva fun in single player and somewhat in multiplayer, realism geek in me screams in pain whenever I play the darn thing, so fortunately there are mods like Battle of the Bulge and Blitzkrieg.

EDIT:

This game would be absolutely perfect if it had the damage model of Men of War and destructible enviroments....but nice news.

[Dukat]

Hmm. A spin-off to the eastern front? Improved textures, improved geometry detail, anything else? No further info given? That was not what I expected when they closed CoHOnline and said: Thanks a lot, we acquired a lot of data useable for future games of our franchise.

About the only game I really give two shits about on the PC anymore (beyond bf2 mods).  Though as I lean back in my chair pondering on what could possibly make COH better I am coming up a bit empty.  The game and it's great mods really do so well at the moment I really don't how they go another direction without fucking up the franchise.

[Yustax]

My choice? Add MOW style of vehicle damage with the current gameplay. It would make the game such more interesting and way better in my opinion.

[Zoologic]

Mod Tools... pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Then it would be perfect!

[Gezoes]

Isn't there a quite popular Eastern Front mod for COH already?

I wonder where they got the idea mmm? First one was nice, although MP was never touched again after some games. Not so sure it needs a part 2. Meh'ish.

In CoH I downloaded pro replays and watched them like movies, it was that awesome. I intend to do the same with the sequel.

Oh my fucking god, is it real ?!!!

Same. I even started playing CoH again some time ago, but stopped a few weeks later. Community is not what it used to be. But COh 2, omg. I've been waiting for that a ton of years

I've never been really good in MP but I played a lot of 1v1s and CoH multiplayer was for years the ultimate game for me.

[Krätzer]

Who needs a fucking Eastern Front, this was done as Mod. Lazy Company!

[Tankbuster]

I don't know if any of you have played the EF mod for COH but it seems some of its ideas got ported to CoH2

[Kwiot]

I won't even try it, because it won't be as good as Blitzkrieg mod for COH1... I bet there won't be much difference between COH1 and COH2... Again 57mm AT gun will be able to destroy Tiger easily...

I could never get it to run, too much hassle and a zillion patches, addons, files. But I think you're right. That mod got a third faction (Russia) in before the devs managed that. So that was bound to attract some attention. I'm not too fond of an entire game in the snow, so meh. But it's nice they're making another. Could work out, after all, BF2 spawned out of the hugely popular Desert Combat. After which it was modded back again
