TomO has linked (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15780) the Pro-G CoH Preview below, but there's also a preview up (http://www.jolt.co.uk/index.php?articleid=6728%94) at Jolt.co.uk.


It’s pretty hard not to be impressed by the things that Company of Heroes is doing, and even the developers seem a little surprised by it sometimes. We’ve seen plenty of World War II RTS games come and go, but with serious mainstream appeal, huge multiplayer potential and a comprehensive offering of mod tools, this one promises to be a game we’ll be talking about for a good while to come. We’ll see you on the beaches come September.

To top it all off, word has been given (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=100694) to watch for the Open Beta to start today (August 3rd, 2006). Note that there is already a closed beta client available for download on Fileplanet, so that's not what you should look for. Look for information about the Open Beta.

Sean Dunn, Senior Creative Manager, and Josh Mosquiera, Relic's lead designer on Company of Heroes, have posted some pictures (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=100587) from the recently reported (http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15735) European press event for Company of Heroes. Check out the Spitfire that flew escort on their DC3!

Are we to watch for the beta today or tomorrow? That post was made yesterday and it says "tomorrow" so that would be today?

EDIT: Ah, it is today, but only to Waitplanet subscribers.

No, it's today, and it's the open beta... the closed one's been running for a couple of weeks now.

I was pretty excited about this game, until I just read up on their website and found out that there is base building in this game.

Now I'm super excited about this game.

Too bad I have 6 hours before my Japanese final. Guess I'll have to wait until tonight to try out the beta.

Is this Open Beta MP only? Or is there some offline play as well?
