Same here, some visuals really sux, arty and explosions are so much cartoonish, it feels like DoW2 explosions. Snow/winter maps and blizzars are awesome/spectacular, I feel like it's the best addition to coh. I also love u can cap on the minimap, making tacmap useless.
The beta is really fun to play but overall I feel like coh1 still pwns coh2 atm.
¿Is there some technological issue on steam to allow euro-keys to acces the steam client files? I think they need 2 versions of the game, one that doesn't uninstall when beta finish for pre-orders, and another auto-uninstall when it's done (like alpha).
