Company of Heroes: Online - Beta now open

The beta just opened up. There's no excuse for not playing it now. It's free.

Not a fan of strategy, but HEY IT ARE FREE!!!1

EDIT: (I like how it says Company of Heroes is the highest rated RTS of all time when... it wasn't even on any of the Top Ten lists I just checked.)

Actually, it is the highest rated RTS of all time. Okay, technically it's tied with Starcraft II, but still.

Top ten lists are very different from critic ratings.

it looks like the online version is a fps?

Wait.. what?!

Also Company of Heros is a Very well done rts, They had some prirecy issued when it first came out. i key could install to as many computer u wanted. It spawned off games like dow2 & World in Conflict less building & infastructure more fighting with smaller sqaud units.

Ye si watch the trailers it looks like your on teh ground fighting!!!

I'm not stupid. I know Top Tens and ratings are not ONE and the SAME. I was just pointing something out.

Anyway, smaller squad units sounds like something I would appreciate.

Then I'd assume you'd know that top 10 lists are basically bullshit when one is referring to objectively rating a game. /shrug

Then I'd assume you'd realize I didn't look at just one, but at MANY.

/sarcastic shrug

So when you're trying to figure out whether a game is any good, you check a bunch of top ten lists instead of actually looking at ratings? O_o

That approach is... different.

I still have CoH. I got a free copy at Showdown LAN 07. It was fun, even though I was never any good at it. Maybe its time to reinstall or check out this beta!

No, every time any product claims to be the "best" I feel like I must prove the statement wrong somehow.

You guys got it both wrong. I just ask the dude at Gamestop...

And his response would most likely be..."You can play games on computer? I wondered why we had a pc section..." lmao

Now that's a policy I can get behind

Win.

I normally use top ten lists to find games I haven't heard of before and whatnot.
