    "Today I bought the new PC ACTION and there are some Interviews and 6 pages of infos about Company of Heroes 2 and also many new pictures. I will scan them in and post them with some infos in here."

    Facts:
    - 110 people work on COH2
    - Again the right use of the dynamic game environment is important, not the amount of troops
    - Campaign takes place from 22. June 1941 until Berlin 1945
    - Producer Greg Wilson says that Essence 3.0 is on eye level (right translation? ) with Call of Duty or Battlefield
    - HDR Light, SSAO, new water renderer
    - BUT they also promise better performance for all PC Systems than in vCOH and Addons
    - True sight examples: Use Smoke Grenades to sneak through areas without uncovering your best troops. Or blow a gap in a wall to see what is behind it.
    - The weather is extremly realistic. Snow gathers on static objects and gets blown away by explosions
    -Snow is not a texture but has deep, so infanterists move very slowly in deep snow (with nice animations). Its easier on the street but the enemy knows that too...
    - Flame throwers can destroy a house completly. It will slowly burn down until it can't be used anymore
    - Soldiers now can jump over their cover
    - The AI in the campaign is now not scripted anymore, they use the same AI as in skirmish mode, which makes it much more interesting
    - Retreat means death in the campaign (but don't know if scripted or not)
    - The recoil when the T-34 shoots even affects the environmental physics. --> ground shakes and lets the cup of coffee of General Annoying fall on his new uniform ;)
    - They want the coop mode to be really big, because a high amount of players prefered to play with other players against the AI
    - German troops stand out with their advanced technology compared with the russians, upgrades and tactical use of special abilities are more important for the Wehrmacht than for the Soviets
    - The Russians rely on mass but class and like to use brute force. They got many powerful tanks.
    - The developers don't want to tell us yet if tanks can break through ice but they said: "Dont underestimate General snow and General mud!"
    - You are able to steal the enemies vehicles
    - Base building will stay in game (there was a discussion in another Thread)
