In fact, you needent worry about resources, you'll be too busy fighting and coming up with a strategy to complete your mission.

It seems that everyone is giving this game high praise. Average review score at Metacritic is 95/100 which is currently the fourth highest average of a pc game ever: Company Of Heroes - Metacritic reviews

There's a demo out ofr it that you can try, but seriously, go buy it! You won't regret it.

do ya think a little old xfx 7600 gt could keep up the pace with company of heros??
the game is here in newfoundland . $49.99. kinda pricey . but might well be worth it . if my gpu can run it , that is .


happy gaming there .
cheers .

I can run it fine, though it stays between twenty and twenty-five fps usually, and drops down to around 15 during heavy situations. I don't mind much, as I'm surprised this 3 year old, $300 computer can even handle that. I've a few bells and whistles turned on, namely the ones that affect gameplay: terrain detail, physics, etc. Nothing is more satisfying than watching an artillery shell rip apart a machine gun embankment.

I agree. Now that I've played it for a few days, I think it's easily the best RTS ever made. The graphics look really good when you turn them up.

Absolutely. That's a really good card that should handle any game out there at mid / high settings.
