I agree CoH is much better than FoH. The latter's graphics looks much cruder than CoH.

Should be, Relic's betting alot on the engine in this one. Downloading the demo now.

Holy sweet crap.

This game is nuts. Runs the same as DOW on my machine. The particle effects are crazy. The demo is some good campaign missions, along with a skirmish mode that lets you use both sides. There are 3 different army types for each side, you pick, then spend points on special abilites like in C&C generals. Try it out. The demo has enough stuff in it to make an informed decision. It's also 1.4 GIGS

Glad you like it Menace, I would love to do some multiplayer within our group maybe next weekend as I plan on picking it up on Tuesday.

I have played the single player demo of COH and it is the shiznit.

Only problem is my inferior comp can't handle the action at times and its mighty annoying.

Looks like it's time for an upgrade or a clear out.

Over 1 Gig for the demo. My broadband is already working overtime with another massive download so I'll just order the game instead.

A pal of mine who just got FoH said he was pretty disappointed with it. But the good news is that CoH is on it's merry way via DHL.

I think the U.S. version is not as cool as the European one. I can take a picture for you later tonight if you like.

The collectors edition has a nice silver metal collectors tin with a Map of D-Day, a extra interactive DVD, and some WWII trading cards and Patches.

yeah, take the pic, if u can, Doc.

I think there is a general Western Countries Collector's Ed - the one you have got, and there is the Polish Special Edition - in ammo container, with map, some cool game box, survival guide, cards and manual.

I've won the special edition a few days ago in a contest by the polish publisher:) It should arrive circa 29th, maybe even before that dfay, which is to be our release date

hope we could do some multiplayer when i got it, what do you think ?

We don't get the metal ammo container because some stock boy might knock it off a high shelf and lobotomize himself.

I have just tryed this demo, what a different type of game this is.

Only thing wrong with this is that its a shoot em up game not a WW1/2 flight sim, lol.

Shot'em up?

I thought it is an RTS

Man I am sorry but I completly forgot to take a picture of this game for you. The problem is that I cannot stop playing to save my life. Once you sit down, several hours just dissapear without even thinking about it.
