So PC gamer put out an article talking about the upcoming Battle of the Bulge expansion for Company of Heroes 2.
There are a few lines that got me excited after the fairly average CoH 2 campaign:
"It's significantly bigger than the Eastern front campaign included in CoH2, which makes the addition of unit permadeath especially challenging. If you lose a squad to a stray mortar, or a flanking heavy machine gun, they're not coming back for the next mission. If your veteran Sherman gets pancaked by an airstrike you'll leave its burned out remains on that battlefield forever. Good news, strategy fans, Company of Heroes is about to get harder."
If anyone remembers the original Homeworld games, their campaigns had a similar system where units carried over from one mission to another, so if you just got sloppy in one mission and lost a bunch of untits you would be screwed for the next mission. This system made every mission really damn tense and exciting, and it sounds like this new campaign will be doing something similar.
Anyone else looking forwards to this? Even though it had a mixed reception I have played the shit out of CoH 2, and I don't see myself stopping any time soon.
