In brief: YOU PLAY AS THE RED ARMY ON THE EASTERN FRONT AGAINST THE NAZIS. Thought I'd make a post here about the recent announcement of Company of Heroes 2. I know a lot of you really enjoyed the first one, and for good reason. The sequel will be coming in early 2013. “Company of Heroes 2 is a true successor, introducing a new front, new protagonists and new technology while retaining the unique mix of strategic gameplay and competitive multiplayer that made the original Company of Heroes such a success." - Greg Wilson, producer at Relic Entertainment A quick rundown of the story: It is 1941 and the beginning of what will become the most brutal conflict of World War II, as Germany launches a full-scale invasion of the frozen tundra of the Soviet Union which would result in over 14 million military casualties. Take command of the iconic Soviet Red Army in brutal frontline warfare to free Mother Russia from the invading Nazis. More info coming soon, and a proper reveal at E3 next month. First, and as of now only, screenshot below. The destruction you see is completely natural and not fake.
