Well here is your chance to try Company of Heroes Online if you didn't download the Company of Heroes Online closed beta in time. Next week Relic/THQ plans to open up the beta to everyone. Some of you may want to give it a try as Bad Company 2 is fading into the sunset.

The open Beta for Company of Heroes Online starts Thursday. All closed beta testers will have their commanders erased and everything will start fresh. I will post a download link when it becomes available for those interested.

Fossil!!!!!!!!!!!
No but it plays very similar to Dawn of War II as they are both Relic creations and share the same graphics engine. The game uses Victory points like DoW also. It is a free game as well. Even though it isn't an MMORPG (your favorite) it does have a few elements. Maybe something for you to check out. Bypass and I play almost night as we were in the closed beta. Diecast is planning to join us when the beta opens.

I still suck at it, but it's fun anyway. Hope the added numbers of players will help with the match making process a bit.

That is a great buy. The only one I don't have is Tales of Valor.

Ok.... after a forced night away from Company of Heroes because of music rehearsal, I can honestly say I went through some kind of withdraw. Therefore, I am looking forward to feeding my addiction with some games tonight. We are definitely improving as I think we are winning more than losing currently. My goal is level 23 by the nights end!!!!!!!
Bypass, Demon, Diecast get ready to rumble!!!!!!!
We would love to see others as well……. New comers are always welcome….

Played a few rounds over the last couple days (2 last night), but not playing it as much now, as we will get the full game in a couple weeks and stats will be wiped again.
Only lvl 9 or 10 now. I have yet to play Allied side in the open beta, but from the Axis view I would say the game is a bit more balanced now and the match making is better. I think the match making is helped by more people. I have yet to get into a game with the open beta that was way unbalanced. Worst so far was a 3v3 last night that was 59 total lvl verse 19 total lvl. Funny thing is we (Axis side total lvl 19) won the match!

Well I have been to level 20 twice now but it is still just a bunch of fun. LOL I don't mind leveling again in the future as it goes pretty fast if you play regularly. Besides, I still have a lot of other command trees to tryout with different commanders. LOL I have been playing only blitzkrieg.
Come join us anytime you want. Bypass, Demon and Diecast play most nights and if enough show could play against each other.
