I suck, the AI flooded me and destroyed me.

Yeah, the game can be very overwhelming at the start. I still struggle a bit against the easy AI. The thing about the game is you need to micromanage your units. Say for example you've got a squad of grenadiers engaging an enemy, then you should constantly be moving them around, into cover, using their abilities etc as the situation changes. A unit that is sent to a location and then left to his own devices will likely end up dead.

That's where I struggle a bit. If my troops are engaging multiple enemies all over the map then I struggle to effectively keep an eye on them all to ensure they don't die.

"This promotion has now ended!"

I am a SAD panda. Any way I can get a beta from another source? I loved the original Company of Heroes and the expansion packs. Help would be much appreciated. xoxo

Wait until the release in June.

None of you have spare beta key access? PM me if you do. Will be very grateful. <3

Sorry mate, this was not like Dota 2 where there were tons of beta keys available. Maybe someone has not used their one, but seems a long shot. Check the COH 2 web page, they may have instructions on how to get one. Good luck.

I wasn't implying that Fivel is spamming... I was actually adding on to his post :P and yes being banned under the name ShithappenS and returning as happenS isn't very smart.

He wasn't banned, a mod just changed his name.
 
Does anyone reckon the system requirements will go up when this game launches? I was pleasantly surprised at how well my 5770 handled the beta
 
I highly doubt it. Beta is usually pretty close to release with only balance and bug-fixes taking place.
 
I hope that is the case, but while being pleased with the performance of my 5770 I was also a little disappointed at the fact that it didn't look as pretty as I expected

Yeah, on max detail it looks alright but it looks a little dated on anything under that.

Tbh pretty graphics is the least I expect from any RTS... I enjoyed the gameplay and that's enough. I'm thinking they held back on the graphics side so mid gaming pc's can play it at acceptable frames.
 
No no, I don't mean the graphics aren't up to scratch, I mean the game itself is pretty ugly at anything below Max. It looks a bit like yellow mush.

Luckily I can run it at max and still get above 30FPS, which is more than enough for an RTS game.
 
Is anybody else having problems starting the game.
I get a "failed to start game, missing executable" error.
I went to the link for steam suggestions and did what I could but still getting the problem.
Only thing that changed since last time it worked was Steam did a 36 meg update when I first tried to launch COH2 beta now now
