This rts title is truly a RELIC

So I finally got around to downloading the copy of Company of Heroes I bought during midweek madness awhile back, and holy shit it's so cool! It's also really hard. I'm on like the fifth mission (something something Red Road) where you have to protect an allied convoy. You start with three armored cars, two tanks, and some other shit, but those always die so quick holy moly I'm bad at this game I've been slowly just taking points and stacking defenses on them to move forward and I think I'm doing it wrong.

Run on sentences aside, are the two expansions worth it? Do any of you guys wanna play multiplayer? I will crush you with my eensy men with their teensy rifles.

ALSO

I've put like 120 hours into DOW2: Retribution now, and I fucking love it so much it's my favorite rts ever and I can't get enough. You want space soccer hooligans? Space elves? Space sadists? Space republicans? You can totes play as them. It's awesome.

How many of you jerks have both or one of these hot sexy games and wanna play them with me?

    The Company of Heroes expansions are pretty cool.

    I think you get to use some insane Soviet stuff in one of them

    They need to make a sequel to that other expansion they made. Goddamn I loved that ship so much. When he yelled at the Bentusi when they were all scared, gave me chills

    Winter Assault is probably my favorite DoW expansion so far (for both DoW1 and Dow2). IG was so amazing in the campaign.

    God, I loved playing Homeworld. Never played online, but I played a bunch of skirmish matches against the computer and would just spam salvagers, stealing gigantic fleets.

  • marty_0001marty_0001 I am a file and you put documents in meRegistered User regular
    I have only played Homeworld 2, I loved it. It was hard work finding the music files so I could have the soundtrack to listen to but it was worth it. I wish they'd release it officially so I could have it in high quality.

  • ScudoScudo Registered User regular
    COH is my favorite RTS

    I really like the first expansion, but I've heard bad stuff about the second. I don't think Relic developed the second, actually.

    I want a Homeworld remake.

    Fandy I added you on steam just to play dow2 with you and you have since played dow2 and not added me : (

  • AbracadanielAbracadaniel Registered User regular
    I don't think I've ever played Dawn of War multi

    but I'd probably suck at it.

    I think I did co-op once and it was fun.

    Is there a mod for Homeworld that increases the draw distance?

    the only Relic RTS I've played that I've liked from the DoW series was Dark Crusade. Tauing it up all up ins here for the greater good.

    It's too bad Homeworld 2 was so crappy, I really hope we get a Homeworld 3 based on all the lessons they've learned from Dawn of War and Company of Heroes

  • ButtersButters A glass of some milks Registered User regular
    A conversation with Bizazedo has made me want to give DoW2 a second chance.

    Company of Heroes is like the best poorly balanced game ever.

    I played Homeworld 2 before 1, so I didn't use the strategy of saving up everything at the end of each mission, and the auto-scaling difficulty was basically perfect the whole way through and I really enjoyed it.
