Okay So im looking to build a cheap(as cheap as possible mid/slightly low range)game PC for my kiddo and wife to learn COH2 on and also so they can team up with me. I already have Geforce 650 or 550 ti graphics card( cant remember which) that Ill be using. I would also like them to be able to play on maybe midrange settings decently I dont want them to have to play on lowest that just sucks. So anyway... any and all help and advice much appreciated thnx guys .

About a game rig coh2 seems to have quite crappy optimization. Even decent rigs can have issues running the game. I would call my computer a midrange one, 1year old now. 1000 euro. Can run the game more or less maxed out. Others have decent rigs and can't even run on medium. Can post my specs later.

I think the physics and snow calculations are the biggest resource hogs so just turn them off to retain a nice look.

Here's how I start most threads like this and it applies to my car forums too lol.

It costs money to go fast, how fast do you want to go?

wow, a whole COH family ? incredible! or maybe your wife wants to try and understand why you are on the computer so much ?

I would maybe suggest to give us a budget and then we can help you figure out the best bang for your buck and estimate the performance.

Arma 3 maxed out runs more consistently than CoH2 on low settings (AA off, physics off, snow quality lowest, 1280x720) on my mid range card, so at worst you need like a 6970 or a 660ti or you're just going to be face palming the whole time.

i7-2700k @3.5ghz
8gb ram
Radeon HD9700
Win8 64

Paid roughly $1400 for this (roughly a year ago) a complete computer (mobo, chassi psu etc etc) minus the screen that I already had.

Running at 1920x1080
Img quality high
AA low
Texture higher
Vsync On
Snow detail medium
Physics high

Game runs fine, dunno about FPS but I have never felt any laggyness of any kind.

Osinyagov: Suddenly, coh2 is slowly dying, but you can play it, playerbase still big enough

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
