Anyone ever played?

Downloaded it this weekend from steam, very fun WW2 RTS. Basically Dawn of War with WW2 settings.

I think I got a used copy for xmas.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I didn't care for it, but I know it was a big hit.

I liked it for the most part, but thought the flaws were too big to ignore, especially later in the game.

Correction: I got 3 used games in the Call of Duty series for xmas.

Really like this game.

I got the gold pack, which includes two new factions, the Elite Panzer division and the British.

Whole map can be blown up. Bridges, Trees, Buildings.

Each building is different but you can send squads into them and your little guys will take up positions at windows and holes in the walls.

Cover plays a big deal, in the missions I've played so far the german tanks are lots better than mine, so I have to get them in 2 on 1 situations and flank them with anti Tank guns.

Totally worth 30 bucks on Steam. Will be multying it when I can get through the missions.

Starting to think the search feature isn't working right...

I swear I did a "beginning" search for "company" before I started this thread, just like the Witcher.

It's flaky.

I searched "Company of Heroes" and it returned this chain at the top and my thread titled exactly the same at number 13 or something.

Posted by GORDON on Jan. 06 2009,09:59
Well the title of this thread is spelled wrong, for one thing.
Posted by Troy on Jan. 06 2009,10:13
Epic win.
Posted by Leisher on Jan. 06 2009,10:43
Yeah, but my search wasn't.
Posted by GORDON on Jan. 06 2009,10:48
I typed "Heroes" in the search field, "From the beginning," and Leisher's thread was about the 5th one down.

I'm thinking PEBCAK error.

By then this thread had company of "heroes" in it to find on a search.  Specifically as part of the link you posted to the old thread.  So then it would come up in search.

I realize that, but it still shouldn't have listed my thread at #13.

Are you familiar with how dates work?

WE CAN BE HEROS!!! JUST FOR ONE DAAYYYYY!!!
Posted by Leisher on Jan. 06 2009,13:45
Yes.

I buy the girl dinner, take her to a moive, and then she puts out.

Maybe instead of sticking a thread with just the word "company" in it, the search should be smart enough to realize I might actually be looking for the whole phrase "Company of Heroes".

Don't even think about searching for a phrase with a "the" in it.

You may use AND, OR to define your query.
You may also use * as a wildcard character (Example: foo* matches foo and foobar)

Company AND Heroes

or, in this case:

Company AND Hero*
