Was in Best Buy yesterday and read the out side of the BOX it requires 6.5 Gig of uncompressed hard drive space.Made me laugh I remember when my hard drive was 25 megs. I will most likely get it this week end..In the late 60's when I was in the service I use to play games like this but they were board games.Its like a different type of chess match.

Overall this game ROCK! Will post SS later

I just picked up my DVD copy of COH today.
Will be getting into some playing of it tonight.
Hope to have a multiplay game going before

It's a good game though I have to say I don't like skirmishing with the AI much on open maps. I find them realy difficult to contain. Mainly as the AI has the advantage in organizing and ordering its units around on the map and it likes to split up its units early on and go capturing and harrasing you in your territory while securing its own. You just cant compete with the AI's efficency.
This is the reason I rarely ever play this type of RTS game. On multiplayer it should be better because humans tend to
take more time and think things out....

So this is a strategy game and not a FPS?

[Stryker9]

I would call it a Strategy + FPS game. You must study the map,
find out your best options in attack & defend. Then pick your
troops, build different buildings in the best places, wait for your
army types to be organized and THEN, deploy them all (one at a
time) to where you think they should be. This probably takes a
human player 3-4 minutes if you know exactly what to do. It
probably takes the AI about 90 seconds because it can all happen
almost at once. So time, not AI is your worst enemy !!
So you see, this game can be a lesson in frustration....

PS. And that is on the EASY computer AI setting.

Jim we need to play lan togetter and i'll show how to beat AI

[Cpt. Snot Rocket]

I will admit up front that I have not played the game but it reminds me of a re-energized 'Command and Conquer' RTS game.

Can't see any way it could be called an FPS.

Th review makes it promising. I know what you mean by the 'time' struggle against the AI, Jim. Many games have had this problem.

I am a BIG RTS fan! If you guys are putting a game together, let me know!!!

In my previous post, I said FPS but meant to say RPS.
It is NOT an FPS game. Big P, I have not really done much
playing with COH. Gotta learn the ropes better and know which
building to use to greater efficency. If you could drop into an
FPS mode by picking out a squad, I would be MUCH more interested.
I read about a game coming that you can do just that. Don't remember
the name but that will be the one I will really like....
