I submit that it is.

My RO account is EnnuiDeckard.

We play.

Now.
 
Best game ever - no.
Best strategy game ever - yup.
Wanna play a 2v2?
 
I dunno, my freind raved on and on about it in school the other day, almost spanning a nice 45 minutes of talk on it. Hey, I welcomed it; he made it out to be the best thing ever. I played it yesterday and it was okay. Very authentic, nice visuals and sound, but the only RTS's that have ever done anything for me were C&C games. The game looked great, aye, but I found myself sort've starting to get bored of looking at the screen and took intrest in other things, like a spider on his wall. :|

He bigged up the AI the most. Pretty good, but seriously... German officers do NOT stand up against Sherman tanks on their own. C'mon, guys. Mad amounts of speed animation into when soldiers are running away, too. Looked funny.

I wasn't being entirely serious about best game ever - but definitely in my top five, permanently.

a 2v2 would be great.
 
Aha. I'll just pop into RO then. I'm repiV there also.
 
I'm there and I've sent you a friend request.
 
I haven't played it since I bought it. I don't know why, I love the game... but I stop playing games I buy for some reason, shortly after I buy them. It drives me nuts.

I never was good at multiplayer though, and that is depressing.
 
Yea its the Best strategy game ever.

My Account name = DigiQ8

LETS MAKE A CLAN !
 
Eh, this game really didn't impress me as much as I was hoping. I guess it required too much thought for my taste. Or maybe I just don't like the way you gather resources either.

Shit, I'm really not sure why I don't enjoy the game.
 
repiV and I steamrolled the opposition, a nice little St. Hilaire match. he saved my ass about six times because i'm slow to get forces - never been good at making sure i use all my resources
 
Definately one of my favourite games i've ever played, and should remain as one. It's different and really fun. I gave you free stuff on that site Chris & signed up with you as a referrer, hope that gives you more munition points ;)
 
Im really not into strategy games. Thats why I play BF2 in commander mode. ;)
 
Yeah, that was fun. We got slaughtered on Hill 331, but it took them at least 15 minutes to finish us off. :)
 
lol yeah, we couldn't hold the VPs but we gave them hell when it came to our HQs

fun match though
 
I think we should have concentrated on the fuel points more. The biggest key to beating Axis really is keeping the fuel points.
My biggest problem is garrisoned MG squads and bunkers though. They just provide an impassable obstacle for ages. How the hell do you get rid of them early game?
 
I been thinkin about buyin it but still dunno. I downloaded the demo but wasn't able to play it because windows x64 edition has problems with certain programs. The game certainly has gotten very good reviews, but I'm afraid it'll just be a waste of money once Medieval 2: Total War comes out :p I need something to hold me up till then..
 
If you need any help deciding, it is stylistically very similar to Dawn of War. However, it is a much better, more balanced and more strategic game that needs a lot more skill and thought to play.
 
It and every other new game (Crysis)

However it does kick ass, and wow my keyboard is lagging.

I'm DukeInfernus

2v2 is definently the best if you can count on your teammate :)
 
It's an amazing game. Add me: Qonfused. (Surprising in-game name, I know.)
 
Maybe somebody just needs to teach me how to play. I started to play the single player, got really bored, and played a couple skirmishes, then uninstalled...I guess I missed something huge.
 
isn't really that good?

ennui could write a review perhaps?
 
It's really THAT good, ennui?

I considered buying it, but I ended up saving my money. I may get it sooner or later though, I need a new online game to play.
 
not the best ever but it certainly is awesome.

i'm trying to get my friends into it so we can play it @ lans and that, it'd rock.
 
The effects in the game are enough reason alone to buy the game. When a goliath (bomb on wheels) goes off in the middle of the squad, happiness ensues even if it was your squad. Exploshens + body parts = joy.

Hell f*ckin yeah. This game definitely has the best and most satisfying explosions in a game yet (a title previously owned by GR:AW for 360). Even better than goliaths - Calliope barrage! :D

Oh, and dropping a V1 - hell. yeah.

Definitely loving this game, but I really don't think I have the right mindset for RTS games, so I'm still in a bit of a learning curve and getting myself into the right frame of mind to really concentrate on playing and formulating strategies etc.

However! I'd always be up for a game with anyone, just for kicks. My RO name is BadHat, I'll chuck a friend request to everyone who's named their accounts in the thread so far...

Oh, but I'm still having a bit of grief with the online service, so I may not be able to connect all the time :x
 
This game is the best RTS I have ever seen. The AI is awesome, and the graphics are great. Theres so much attention to detail.

My RO name is CrazyJeepDriver, add me if you want, Im not on much though
 
V1 into a compact base = so beautiful i want to cry every time i see it.

Goliaths are great, quick way of blowing up bridges (mhehe) or redistributing infantry. The artillery strike is slightly useless, as by the time the rounds hit, the enemy has moved out of the srike zone as the AI recognises the smoke and basically gets the **** out of there.

The vehicles are a bit retarded too, especially in groups of 4+. You cant really make a convoy as they get stuck on each other. But meh.

Online is a shambles at the moment. Can never connect.

Playing LAN with a mate from halls living next door is a great time though.

Easily one of THE best RTS games of all time.
 
This is the only RTS where losing is fun too, because you STILL get to see the shit blown out of everything. That's what counts.
 
no kidding. even if i have a heavily defended position that gets the snot calliope'd out of it, i say "DAMN!" for 2 seconds and then "oh god that looks cool" for 8.

the graphics do not make the game, though. it's got a very solid gameplay base underneath, so it's not all pretty explosions.

but the pretty explosions sure are nice.
 
gotta agree here folks, CoH is the best strategy game in eons... this revitalized my interest in the genre, and Im looking forward to C&C3 like a moflo now.

also anything new from relic in the future will def be on my to get list.

I really enjoyed their Warhammer 40k games too... however this experience in CoH is so refined, well animated, well presented and awesome to behold.

cant wait for a modern day one.... or a mod for it :D
 
I think I will be selling a loooot of old games to buy this soon...

WTF. Mr. Redundant!
 
Bastards. Stop reminding me to look for this game on eBay!
 
I love this game. The atmosphere and intensity of an fps with the strategery of an rts. That's practically the formula for the theoretical best game ever right there! :E

I'm still working my way through the campaign, but after that, it'd be great to join you guys in a little online carnage.

It's a good game, but it does get overrated because of its graphics.
The graphics definitely are a big part of why it's so great, but the thing is, the graphics aren't just eye candy - they're an integral part of the experience. That's almost like saying F.E.A.R. is overrated because of its atmosphere.
