    Imperial Guard So will there be CoH2 stuff at E3?

    According to Wikipedia THQ are previewing CoH2 at E3 2012 (which is the 5th - 7th of this month) and I'm curious what we'll get to see. The game is alpha (or even pre-alpha in fact) so presumably not much. Just a rehash of the previews we've been given on this forum, or is it likely that more major details be announced?

    There's a few interviews here and there. But nothing really interesting or vastly new. Just that you can abandon vehicles, smoke from wrecked tanks block line of sight and so on.

    Here's some info from Kotaku about CoH2 at E3. briefly mentions the line of sight thing, though it mostly focuses on how Stalin's "no retreat" order shows up in game for the Russian army.

    Nothing new really. I was really hoping to see a Maus.

    But what would be wrong with using those as campaign-specific units? Particularly Max and Moritz as they were actually built and used. It's certainly more imaginative than a 'Tiger Ace'

    @Croaxleigh: Just a repeat of the previous previews really. Apparently they're just showing the stuff from reveal at E3. So nothing interesting to be found at E3 . I fear we shall have to wait longer.

    New Trailer coming soon? Here you can hear(but can't see) new trailer for COH 2, which was shown in a private THQ investor call.

    From 24 min on to 26 min.

    Hmmm.. Interesting. Sounds though like it's just a concept trailer with some WW2 footage and such.

Still options waiting in the middle for St. Mirren...OH, AND THEY HAVE ANOTHER ONE! It's stunning! It's absolutely stunning at Hampden park! And it's Steven Thompson, who scores his thirteenth goal of the season, and that might just be the goal that takes St. Mirren into the league cup final!" - 27/01/2013

    Well plenty of people have been asking for the Maus, getting awfully upset when being told it wouldn't fit in. Same with the IS 3 :P

    The Maus was ugly as sin anyway.
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Seeing as SP might actually involve the Battle of Berlin, knowing Relic they might squeeze in the Kugelblitz for that mission. Unlike the Maus, the Kugelblitz is confirmed to have actually been deployed in very small numbers (5 or more combat evaluation vehicles) toward the end of the war. Most of them were committed to the defensive of Berlin, although one was confirmed destroyed in action fighting American forces near Spichra in central Germany.

    Don't get me started...

    Didn't think it was worth starting a new thread for this but for any dolts out there who have facebook and are fans of CoH (via facebook) they're doing some kind of thing where if they get 500 shares for their latest post they'll post more screens. It's the post with all the stuff about the E3 accolades they got. As of posting this they had about 422 shares so we're not very far from the mark anyone who feels like doing this should go for it before the weekend is over.
