Hey, guys!

Does anyone have time to play the beta for Company of Heroes 2 this weekend so we can publish the First Shot for Monday? 

If not, I'll make time to do it. But, if someone would like to get the review copy of this game before it's out, you would need to write up a preview for it first. If no one gets back to me by the end of the day (6/14), I'll just take it for myself.

Let me know,
- Nick


Hi,

 

You have read about the Company of Heroes 2 demo shown at E3 and now you can try it for yourself by simply visiting the game's page on Steam.

 

The demo is part of the game's campaign and comes from a mid-game mission called 'The Land Bridge to Leningrad' where the players will be asked to cross a frozen lake under heavy German fire. The demo is a portion of the full level included in the retail game.

 

This demo will be included as a part of the currently running Open Beta on Steam. Players who have the beta installed will notice the Campaign button on the title screen is now unlocked. Clicking on it will take them to the mission select screen where the demo can be launched. New players will need to download the Open Beta from the game's page on Steam http://store.steampowered.com/app/231430/.

 

There are tutorial videos available in the build to help any new players familiarize themselves with the Company of Heroes 2 control system.

 

This demo will be available to play along with the Open Beta up until Tuesday, June 18.

 

Company of Heroes™ 2 will be available for PC on June 25 2013. For more information or to pre-order check www.companyofheroes.com, and to download SEGA game assets, please visit www.sega-press.com.

 

About Company of Heroes 2

It is 1941 and the beginning of what will become the most brutal conflict of World War II, as Germany launches a full-scale invasion of the frozen tundra of the Soviet Union which would result in over 14 million military casualties. Take command of the iconic Soviet Red Army in brutal frontline warfare to free Mother Russia from the invading Nazis. Your strategic skills and tactical expertise hold the power to tip the very balance of this conflict in the sequel to the critically acclaimed and multi award-winning Company of Heroes. Engage in visceral tactical combat that will define you as a military leader and challenge you to wield the might of the Soviet Empire as you smash your way to Berlin.

Hey Nick,

I can try out the game this weekend. How many words would you want for a preview?

However long you'd like, Sarah. Please try and get it to me by Sunday night. I'll grab images off of Sega's press page and send them to you so you can choose from them to include in the article. The rule of thumb is an image for about every two paragraphs, though I usually include one more at the end to cap it all off and a YouTube trailer for the game after the first paragraph.

Thanks a lot and can't wait to read it!
- Nick
