Let's all just calm down. The expectations were very high for yesterday's trailer, I was atleast. The way it was presented by G4TV was a joke. So the '60 seconds of awesome' turned into 30 seconds of dissapointment. Everyone in Budwise' chat was like: 'euh that was it?'. Even Lynx was surprised, because G4TV edited the trailer (shortened) and put some horrible music with it. He also confirmed, once again, that the beta will start before the end of 2012 so don't worry about it. That's only a few weeks away.
I do agree about the marketing problems. Putting a game up for pre-order without showing any gameplay footage is never a good idea in my opinion. Lots of people pre-ordered instantly because they love the franchise. You can't let those people in the dark for so long.
Anyway, I still have faith in Relic making CoH2 an awesome game. Katyusha's are gonna rock so much, and the battles look just as awesome as in vCoH
