Another thing we have been wanting for a long time.

Make it happen Relic!

These are great ideas Wombat, doing the Brits proud!

There are so many awesome possibilities if Relic were to add the British into Company of Heroes 2, not just with units and doctrines but with skins, voice acting and the overall feel of the army.

There could be an SAS commander that allowed you to call in an SAS Jeep loaded with commandos with all sorts of abilities armed with Stens. Or there be an RAF/Airborne Doctrine that allowed for Typhoon runs, Supply drops (With a chance of Red Berets of course) and so much more.

Relic have to capture the essence of the British army during 1944-45 which I believe was an effective, mobile yet cautious beast capable of beating back anything that was thrown at them through the use of various elements within the company.

What would really be interesting is if Relic actually did the African Theatre of war, then we would have a truly unique faction when talking about the British. Crusader tanks speeding through the desert flanking Panzer III's, Infantry rushing through barbed wire assaulting fortifications and tanks. The Afrika Korps as I see it would be a faction that was flexible and tough, but also vulnerable in terms of supply. I'm just rambling on now but there truly are so many possibilities with not just the British, but with every other faction.

Again a company wants the consumers to pre-order a game they know little to nothing about.

Where are is the in-game footage? Why can't Relic tell us more about the factions such as the new and innovative way the Axis use resources?

Give me more information and I will pre-order. As it stands all I have to go on is a live stage cut-scene.

I welcome downloadable content such as the Western Front Armies, as it adds two whole new factions and is essentially a stand alone expansion. However adding more commanders that could potentially break balance again is again worrying for the simple idea of balance.(I say potentially but we all know that it is highly likely that they will considering the testing of the new patch)

I will wait to see how the commanders play out, but I'm just not a fan of DLC, especially in my favourite franchise. Nevertheless I have purchased a few commanders and do enjoy playing with them, Like I said I'm worried about the balance.

Fix the game, test the commanders rigorously and listen to community feedback.

Damn it tell us how the armies work!

"They both have innovative play styles"

All of these unique techniques, base building and technology trees. Surely they have to give us some more information soon, I mean there's only 2 months until expected release.

All in all I'm really looking forward to the new release, the map that they showcased in the Alpha footage had a beautiful colour pallet. Very bright and lively.
