Thread: Difficulty accessing the beta forums7 Apr 2013, 20:06 PM I'm sorry but the Sega forums are probably the worst I have ever seen. It's near impossible to login and the servers are so slow you can't even access them once you have logged in. Its impossible to give any feedback on COH2 because of these Sega forums. I guess Sega not used to interacting with the community. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH 2 Hype24 Feb 2013, 00:31 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Feb 2013, 17:26 PMKillian Ya know, I love both Starcraft and CoH, but i'm a bit disappointed in the level of hype for CoH2 thus far. When i look at how well Blizzard is hyping the new Starcraft expansion it makes me sad to see how neglected the new Company of Heroes 2 is at this point. Wow. That is an amazing cinematic. I wasn't going to get HOTS but after seeing that, I probably will. Blizzard makes amazing cinematics. Unfortunately Relic doesn't have the budget to do something like that for COH2. The trailers we've seen so far pale in comparison. I feel the marketing for COH2 has really been lacking so far. In: Lobby
Thread: COH + COH2 1 Feb 2013, 05:32 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2013, 10:51 AMcrazyguy 1st why would anyone get a mac for gaming? imac costs well over 2300 dollars (as specified) built yourself is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay less. even if you buy it built from someone like this 1800-2300, but the $2300 is far superior to your imac. second, for the same price nvidia is just about always faster. if your buying online i reccomend sager though some of the highest end stuff is perpetually on back order i've built many pc's before.....all ultimately end up shit. they don't look good. have u seen the new 27" imac. amazing and beautiful and it runs smooth as butter. also don't need separate monitor and massive tower which looks like crap, and requires lots of cooling. I like to keep things clean and I house the pc tower in an enclosed cabinet. This requires a separate external fan/cooling system so pc doesn't overheat. this isnt very efficient. at the end of the day, to each his own. i've built 5 custom pc's before and i just got sick of it. imac is best "pc" i've had so far.

Thread: A word from the COH2 Team27 Jan 2013, 18:46 PM Creative Assembly + Relic = best strategy house in the world! In: Lobby
Thread: COH + COH2 24 Jan 2013, 06:04 AM i just bought the new 27" imac with a 2gb nvidia gtx 680m graphics and 16gb dram. the machine runs amazing. i'm running bootcamp and windows 7. compared to my last machine i might be getting 10x the performance based on benchmarks i've seen comparing my old ati card to this new gpu.

Thread: THQ is Bankrupt for Real This Time24 Jan 2013, 03:30 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Jan 2013, 02:11 AMTribalbob Nope, Lynx lost his job; but I'm not getting into this whole personal opinion vs corporate 'selling'; already tried a few times and no-one seems to believe me. On a positive note, thanks to those who have remained positive about us throughout this - you guys rock! I have to say, I always remained confident about this and everything actually turned out better than I thought! congrats to you and everyone at Relic. sega appear to be good parents. creative assembly seems to be doing ok over there. hope that lynx can get a position at sega.

Thread: First look: Company of Heroes 2 in-game UI4 Jan 2013, 21:41 PM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2013, 21:20 PMUmbert +1 The colors are horrible for someone as colorblind as me. Couldn't read or write about it in the alpha forums (no access yet). The vCoH colors were perfect (as seen in my avatar). I hope they offer different colors, or at least a colorblind-friendly mode. The unit shields in the top right corner are a great addition for me, I always forget my idle units. +1 I posted this link also on the main companyofheroes forum as well. I totally agree with the colors. I am colorblind to RED/GREEN combination. It's actually quite common in males up to 10% of the population. However with RED/BLUE, practically no one has this problem! Why alienate up to 10% of the player base? Just go back to the COH1 colors RED/BLUE. Please Relic! Here are the stats on color deficiency. http://www.colour-blindness.com/general/prevalence/ In: News
Thread: THQ is Bankrupt for Real This Time4 Jan 2013, 00:59 AM Jump back to quoted post4 Jan 2013, 00:49 AMTribalbob I've stated before things I say on this forum are my own personal opinion. I hang out on this forum because I like the community, I've never asked anyone to pre-order anything. This will be the final response I post on this topic; had I known anything I said would have been taken in this manner, I would never have said anything at all. I'm sorry if anyone thought I was trying to mislead anyone, that was not my intent. I truly believe Relic will come out of this unscathed. That is my own personal feeling and not anyone elses' . I hope Relic comes out of this unscathed. The RTS world needs Relic to continue and thrive. In: Lobby
Thread: THQ is Bankrupt for Real This Time4 Jan 2013, 00:22 AM Jump back to quoted post3 Jan 2013, 23:07 PMTychoCelchuuu Why is everyone getting so mad at Jim/Tychus? He's just posting articles that say investors aren't happy about this, and obviously they aren't - they're getting screwed and I haven't seen anyone dispute this. If he's shorting THQ stock (which looks like it was a pretty good idea...) then he's doing it because he thought he could make money from the company failing, not because he hates Company of Heroes and wants it to die. Can't you divorce business from gaming? Can't you be a fan of CoH and also think that THQ was horribly run and that they're screwing over investors to try to make sure their stalking horse company wins the bidding? Indeed and agreed. Shareholders were long ago screwed over. This isn't the question anymore. If any value remains, the bond creditors will fight over the scraps. The MAIN question for those in this forum, is what happens to Relic. Relic still has some "value" to the creditors or to the stalking horse bidder(s). However, the manner in which this "value" is realized, either via a sale or via liquidation, is the main question. There is no real guarantee that Relic will continue in the form it is in, if at all. With the exception of shipping COH2 which is a virtual certainty in that it will bring in some much needed near-term cash, the longer-term future for Relic is still very much up in the air. Will it continue on or be liquidated post COH2 launch? Take a look at other recent game publisher bankruptcies such as Eidos and Midway. Eidos went bankrupt and it was acquired by Square Enix. This is the "good" case scenario where Crystal Dynamics studio the main studio at Eidos, survived the bankruptcy and continued on at Square. In the Midway bankruptcy, they filed chapter 11 just like THQ. Midway either shut down or closed most of its studios except it was able to sell the Chicago & Seattle studios to Warner Brothers. In the case of THQ, we know they have essentially 4 studios: Relic, Volition, THQ Montreal, and Vigil. It's unlikely all 4 make it. In: Lobby
