KEY FEATURES

UNIQUE PLAYSTYLE
Experience a unique tech-tree that challenges the player to balance the constant trade-off between mobility and defense – basically giving you two factions for the price of one. Surprise your opponents with your development choices and an open end game configuration.

DISTINCTIVE UNITS & ABILITIES
From the Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank to the RAF glider, this new faction introduces new gameplay mechanics with a range of 15 one-of-a-kind units. Meanwhile, the new commanders’ abilities revolve around impressive staged events making the most of air raids and artillery.

ARMY WITH CHARACTER
An international cast of actors from England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and New-Zealand bring the units to life, with accents ranging from the posh elite to the working class. The writing of the units’ audio cues was also given special attention in order to ensure the various regional differences – and rivalries – among the British subjects stand out.

IMPROVED MO-CAPPED ANIMATIONS
The battlefield comes to life like never before thanks to motion-captured data for the most common animation set (SMG), that will also update all of the previous armies’ animation systems.

NEW MAPS
Eight stunning new maps enhance the extensive collection of pre-existing Company of Heroes 2 maps as well as thousands of community created maps available on the Steam workshop.

INTENSE ONLINE COMBAT
Feel the unprecedented ferocity of frontline strategic warfare and engage in visceral battle with adversaries from across the globe.

september 3rd!?!?!? noooooooooooooooooooo

Speaking of features, did anyone else see the picture with the 17 Pounder? It had infantry fighting from the inside like they were garrisoned in place. Pretty exciting update if you ask me!

The last time a product by SEGA released on Sept 3rd it was a flop in terms if bugs and features. Of course it was a smashing success if you looked at the number of duped customers alone.

Animation updates? I wonder if that means fixing a bunch of the awkward / broken animations, like PG's being in idle stance but shooting, or Infantry in idle stance while being shot at, or soldiers bending their entire torso to aim at a different elevation.

Images from the Steam store :

So sim city? I see a 17 pounder tank. FIREFLYYYY

So who is that guy in camo on the 3rd picture and what is this weapon he's holding?

So who is that guy in camo on the 3rd picture and what is this weapon he's holding?

Boys Anti-tank rifle

and the camo means he is a sniper. So it's an AT sniper.

what is this weapon he's holding?

Boys AT rifle

So it's an AT sniper.

So PTRS snipers became reality? Relic

PTRS Sniper ace with ability to... lets hold it because there is still NDA.

Do you hate sittard? Have you always avoided the Scheldt?

Good, because relic will even top that and a new map will come, which will be the ultimate bridge camper comp stomper 8 h game map.

The VPS will not decrease, the game will never end. You can only lose if you borequit.

FIREFLYYYY

With TULIP ROCKETS...

yeah except the 2nd picture. It is the same map. Sittard summer in a small version for 2vs2

They need to make those bridges 5 times wider.

Nice to see the Sexton SPG showing up, rather than recycling the M7 Priest. Sure, the British used the Priest for a short time, but that was it.

Not a fan of using the AEC armored car. The British used a whole bunch of armored cars, but the AEC was the heavy car and not used for reconnaissance; it was the fire support for other armored cars, intended to get them out of trouble, but not to scout on its own. The Daimler I, the Humber III or IV, the Staghound I; all of these would've been better choices. Oh well, at least the rest of the faction looks great

Hope the close beta is around the corner, sep 3rd is way toooooo late considering the completion of alpha stage.

Don´t worry coh2 brits will not be a boring sim city like coh1 brits.

I am so excited for the AT sniper.
Fuck your scout cars!
