What would you like to see in a new COH game?
Personally, I would love to see either a Russian Front, or, preferably, a Pacific Front expansion pitting the Japanese against the Marines.
Japanese could be a bit like the Green guys (wtfs the name again?) in C and C G, lots of fast, light units, and traps and stuff, where as the marines would have really good Infantry etc. Including Sea units in the game would be an amazing addition as well. As far as inter game interaction, despite the "realism factor" I think it would be really cool to allow the games to interact, just because that's one of the things those so cool about COH. (and you have to admit Wechermat on an Island would be pretty cool). Plus COH gfx + Physics on an island would be awesome, particularly if they touched them up a bit as well (not that it needs it).l

Not WWII, but I'd love to see a CoH-esque game made by Relic which is like an RTS version of Insurgency Mod.

I vote an entirely new game, obviously kept with the same game play style as the original, but with upgraded graphics, larger maps, naval battles or units, multiple campaigns featuring all of the fronts and theaters in the wars, and a 'free play' WWII that lets you change its course (Total War series-esque, although not the focus of the game.)

That I would buy without any real consideration.

"Why change something that is so good"? Wtf. If we always followed that logic, we wouldn't have TF2, since QWTF is

While I have to admit a modern day Company of Heroes would be awesome (COH+ Apaches = win amirite?)
I think theres just so more to do with World War 2. nukchebi0 has some good ideas - Naval Units would add a great dimension tot he game. For Example, if it was in the pacific, the Marines could build on a Battleship or something, and then come to shore on landing Craft (would only work for VCP though).
Some sort of a Giant Battle where winning battles matters would be awesome (think WW2 online), particularly if they included a sort of skirmish mode which would just be normal play.

What i said is logical, in my eyes its a perfect RTS game so theres no need to change it...just expand on it.

I have seen interest in adding the Italians as another option for the Axis, my only worry about adding the Russians is that now you have 3 allies and 2 axis, are you going to add another German option to balance it. I guess you could add a Jap and Russian expansion with the Russians against the Weh and the Japs against the US. Maybe just add a 4th US aption for a Marines Tech tree like the Rangers and Airborn. They could have off map Battle ship arty and Call in beach landings from different sides of the map. Only down side with an expansion like that is the maps would have to be limited to certain teams, it would make no sence to have the Germans and Japs fighting side by side on an Island map against Marines and the British. It may get difficult to integrate the two fronts. Africa might be easier to pull off and not remove from the realism of the conflicts.

And in my eyes QWTF was amazing (and still is), but TF2 is also incredible and strayed from the line of gameplay that QWTF has.

A CoH-esque game in modern times would be amazing.

I didn't really play opposing fronts but did they tone down on the luck factor since the first game? I HATED how when a tank got down to critical HP you only had like a 20% chance for a shell to penetrate.

It's like ohhai i got your stug down to 1 hp, and have 3 squads of riflemen and 2 AT guns bombing and blasting it to hell but still I watch as you reverse all the way across the map back into your base

Id love to see an alternate reality style story, perhaps set in WW2(anyone ever read the World War series by Harry Turtledove?) only a couple games have tried, and none really pulled off a solid RTS, where as the team behind this has already pumped out two fantastic RTS(Dawn of War and coH) when are deep and immersive, and have a great strategy. Until they think of a new game, guess im stuck with Red Alert 3

Yeah the African theatre would be awesome. Probably increase the pop cap so it will involve large battles across vast desert

Some maps are already too large. Any bigger and it would just be uber unit spam.

What do you guys think about a booster pack?
Would you pay 10 dollars for a new command tree for each Army?
I was thinking:
US: Marines, Excellent Infantry, really good engineers who could make Concrete bunkers for AT etc, and naval bombardments for off board arty (seems a requiem for US) and maybe some sort of rubber boats/ landing craft - would make river maps more interesting.
Brits: French Resistance Not too sure hear, something a bit like Luftwaffe (falscries), Molotave Cocktails, etc
Wehr: Gross Deautchland (elite Eastern Front regiment, i.e The Forgotten Soilder) Think Elephant for a heavy tank (that's a king panther) and maybe limited, really good units.
PE: Africa Corps. Maybe Defensive oriented due to the PE's mostly attacking nature? Would include some Italian stuff.

An early war (1939-1942) or Invasion of Sicily expansion would also be pretty cool.

CoH expansion is a stand-alone game. You just don't get some of the features from the first one. If the next one doesn't have Russians, peace out until CoH 2.

No. Either make a full expansion or don't bother.

Might be a while before Relic start putting out more CoH stuff. Dawn of War 2 seems to be full steam ahead atm.

Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.

Japs would do as well.
But otherwise, I wouldn't see the point in buying.
On the other hand, fleccos right, will probably be a couple months minimum.

DoWs AI was great if you ask me, had plently of great battles against the AI with buddies. CoHs however, in my skirmish games jsut sits at its base and barely does anything. Not trying to rub it in, but the AI never even tries attacking me it, it jsut sits and camps all its units in its base the whole game, whereas in DoW I kept getting units coming at me until i finished them off.

Lately when I played against the AI with AI on my team, my AI would just clump up in a certain spot and not move.

I would like to see CoH for Vietnam or Korea. Relic might actually give us a god damn game worth playing for those two wars then.
