Apply as a Strategist
Company of Heroes 2 is a deep, complex game that can be daunting for novices and experienced players alike. The COH2.ORG strategists are constantly finding new ways to give players and teams the information they need to get the edge on their opponents. Our strategists have provided in-depth unit guides, videos on how to improve your micro, and much more. Strategists work together with other departments to produce material that brings new players up to speed and that pushes the COH2 metagame forward.
Your tasks:
As a Strategist at COH2.ORG you work under the supervision of the Lead Strategist to answer questions on the COH2.ORG forums and to produce a variety of guides, from Tips of the Week to information on units and systems to mutliplayer strategy guides and everything in between. To become a strategist you will have to be able to:
- Work together with Writers and Artists to produce strategy guides.
- Keep current guides relevant and up-to-date with fresh information.
- Answer questions from players in the "Ask the Strategist!" section.
You think you are the right person for this role? Please apply by sending a PM to COH2.ORG's Lead Strategist, Siberian. In your application, please provide us with some information about you and the reasons you want to become a strategist.
Apply as a Writer
There isn't a single piece of content that doesn't involve writing. Newsposts, announcements, strategy guides, and anything else published on this site has to be written, edited, and formatted to look professional and be understandable.
Your tasks:
From producing original articles for COH2.ORG, to reporting COH2-related news, to working together with other staff and community members to ensure that the content on COH2.ORG meets the most exacting standards of quality, the writers and editors of the Editing Room are directly involved in every project. New content is always welcome on COH2.ORG and anyone with original ideas for features is encouraged to apply.
If you have an eye for detail, a solid ability to communicate in English, a love of COH2, and a desire to get more involved with the community please send your applications to our Editor in Chief, ComputerHeat. Please include a small sample of your writing, whether it is a news report or an original story.
Apply as an Artist
The Artist position is for people who can picture an epic scene in their head and make it a reality. News highlights, SNF splashscreens, guide illustrations; every single picture on this website has a creative mind behind it, and we need more of them!
Your tasks:
The bread and butter work of Artists is to provide images for portal content, in particular "highlight images." However, that's not the only canvas that needs paint. If a Strategist needs help with images for his new Soviet Guide, illustrating tactical movement etc., you will be there to assist him. If our Referees are organizing a new tournament format and need a banner, or brackets for illustration, you will be there to help them. We are also constantly expanding our features and styling. If you have any skills in web design, we would be thankful for your input and insight.
Here is a list of things you would need to be an Artist on COH2.ORG:
- Above-average skills in graphic design, using professional 2D design software, like Adobe Photoshop and/or Illustrator or GIMP. This means we want you to be able to do more than just adding some text, strokes or blending options to existing graphics.
- You need creativity, to come up with new and unique highlight designs for our portal content.
- Experience in web design would be nice, but isn't mandatory.
- Time! Images are often the bottleneck for new portal content, so we need our artists to be responsive and able to provide pictures within a reasonable time!
- Powerful computer hardware would be a nice bonus, because it would allow you to take your own high quality in-game screenshots and videos for your content.
You think you have what it takes? Please apply by sending a PM to our Lead Artist, Le Wish. In your application, please provide us with some information about you and your experience as a graphic designer. If you have an online portfolio, please give us the link.
If you are accepted, you will join a staff team that is passionate about the Company of Heroes franchise and it's community. You'll gain access to the Staff forums, which is where the magic happens. COH2.ORG is looking forward to your applications, and thanks in advance!
