Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself.
Ive been playing coh2 since start of open beta and am loving it (but only if I win ha :) )
Ive been playing strat games since the second dune game by westwood, where u had to individually select each unit then give it an order. right through to total annihilation and its spiritual successor supreme commander so ive had my fair share of rage quits and awesome victories. I ofcoarse played the "highest rated" strategy game ever but never online for some reason. Didnt know what I was missing to be honest but hoping to make up for it with coh 2.
So thats me and hi. Love the website and good gaming.

Edit - forgot some shit.

Oh man I loved Dune 2.. Spice harvesting, worms, Devastator tanks!!! Definitely the game that got me into the RTS genre. Populous the beginning was sweet too... Also did anyone play Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far? Sooo many hours of my life went into that :)

They sort of have remade Close Combat - there are games like Panthers in the Fog and Last Stand Arnhem that update Close Combat itself, and games like Achtung Panzer: Operation Star that play a lot like Close Combat but with modern graphics. As for Rainbow 6, we just have to hope Takedown and Ground Branch are good.
