    It's true. Why doesn't it have it's own forum?

    because too many sub forums kills the main forum. the strategy forum is quiet enough as it is. imagine how quiet it would be if there was a seperate forum for every major game. instead of one quiet forum there would be 10 completely dead forums. there was/is a discussion(i dont know if it is still going on) about the future of the various games forums with a view to merging a few of them together. i'd be surprised if anyone was in favoor of a CoH forum....there arent even that many threads on it in here.

    ps, i freakin' love CoH :cool:

    Even if it were the highest-rated strategy game of all time (A claim I doubt), what would we say about it that would require a sub-forum?

    If there's anything missing in terms of game fora, it's simulations. There's one for flight sims and racing sims, but not else. Silent Hunter? Steel Beasts? T-34 vs Tiger? Train Simulator?... umm no.

    Why on earth do think it needs its own forum. Because of the dozens of CoH posts here every day?

    It is an awesome game though.

    Fantastic game but I don't think a forum here would attract much attention for itself. There are much bigger, better places to discuss it like gamereplays.org.

    I said something similar when there was a petition for a Warcraft forum but there were plenty of people saying it would work anyway.
    It's like a ghost town now.

    Some war games, I enjoy playing an will always go back to them. Examples in recent years would be Hidden & Dangerous 2, and Soldiers Heroes of WW2.

    I did enjoy Company of Heroes, but it just didn't grab me the way my other favourites games have. Maybe it was all the hype I'd heard about it before I bought it. Just doesn't do it for me!

    If you likes soldiers heros of ww2,then look out for men of war,which is being released next feb,its very similar gameplay to soldiers.


    I think company of heros is the best strat game to come out in yrs,rts delvelopers will have a hard time trying to top it.

    I've seen some screen shots of Men of War. The graphics look nice but I fear it will go down the same route as the previous follow-up, Faces of War. This was a let-down for me. It seemed to be trying to imitate the squad-based gameplay of CoH. That said I preferred Faces of War to Company of Heroes. Maybe its down to having control over individual units.
