I was thinking of getting Company of Heroes, but I found out that both CoH's can be played against each other, so I can't decide.
Should I get the original, or Opposing Fronts?

I always completely blow at RTS's for the first 50000 games, but I gradually get a bit better over time.
I read that OP's factions are harder to play for new-comers, so I'm leaning towards the original one.

Suggestions?

CoH gold edition costs the same as Opposing fronts. In gold edition you get both games. I recommend getting that, you wont be sorry.

Hmm..I guess I'll take that then.

Can I put it on Steam if I buy it in-store?

Get the gold version, or get both. They're both incredibly fun. Plus, if you want to learn, I can help you.

Although today was a good demonstration I'm not so good myself. ~_~

Deffinetly get CoH vanilla first. I think it's a better starting off point. You should get OF afterwards, of course, it adds 2 great armies.

Well at EB Games they didn't have the Gold edition.

I'll check at another one.

Edit: Well apparently it's being released on the 5th. Guess I'll wait.

I bought both of them off Steam- they're cheap and well worth it!

(Off Topic: Does anyone else have notorious connection issues online? My game is plagued with 'X' pings)

Fixed.

This is sorta like when people message me on Youtube about which Dawn of War to buy and why. Online, DoW gives you four armies. Winter Assault gives you one army. Dark Crusade gives you two armies. DoW Gold gives you DoW and WA. Dow Platinum gives you DoW, WA and DC.

DoW/WA: not even listed on gamestop anymore
DC: $20
DoW Gold: $20
DoW Plat: $30

Now for Company of Heroes:

COH: $20
COHOO: $30
COHG: $40

Similar setup: with the original game, you get two armies. With the expansion, you get two different armies. With both, you get four armies. Prices being what they are, there's no conceivable reason (unless you have either one or the other already) why you shouldn't get gold if you're going to run either game.

We need a 3v3 or 4v4 game with bf2s members, could be epic!

We should.

I'd probably make my team lose though.

Well I know, but according to EB Games, it's in 4 days.

Baaah I'm impatient.

No. OF is a standalone game.

Tuesday this week. Thursday or Friday, knowing gamestop/eb's skill in actually getting deliveries sent out and stocked on time.

They were like a week late with the Orange Box.

I had to badger them for two weeks to get my pre-order box for UT3. The last time I went in, I saw it sitting on their PC stock shelf, and was sent to another Gamestop just to get my little bonus character unlock key. Similar difficulties getting the World in Conflict bonus box.

You'd do best just to order online and let their warehouse monkeys send you your shit (all of it) on time.

I do a lot of CoHOO comp stomps if anyone's ever down for 'em.

You're going to have some patching to do before you play online. I'll be up for a couple of compstomps soon. If you see any, one's probably mine.

I noticed. D:

This is like the 4th time I'm trying to patch it.
First autopatch failed, second patch wasn't compatible, second autoupdate worked, but I ran out of room, so I'm trying for the 4rth time.

The one problem with multiplayer in this game is that early on, people look at your stats and kick you if you have a mere 2 wins and 0 losses. So it is a bit of a stat whore game.

Best to find buddies to play it with.

What about 0 wins and 2 losses?

Well it turns out that the updating thing is being a complete and utter faggot.

I'm comparing MD5 sums or some weird shit like that right now.

BF2S Forums [CoH] Which one?
