"Thanks to the enhanced technology offered by the new Essence Engine we are able to accurately portray the bitter Soviet winter which crippled the German army."įor more information on the PC strategy sequel, check out Christian Donlan's Company of Heroes 2 preview.
"Company of Heroes 2 is all about authenticity and no game based on the Eastern Front would be complete without extreme weather conditions," said game director Quinn Duffy. Additionally, blizzards can occur, making conditions extra hazardous. Frozen lakes can also be collapsed, leading foes to fall into the hypothermic waters below. The deeper the snow is, the more it will stifle movement. The new dynamic weather system will keep track of snowfall as well as infantry and vehicle tracks. Players will have to build fires to withstand the cold and snow will melt realistically based on its proximity to fire. This will allow soldiers to freeze to death in mere minutes, just as the Germans did during the Soviet's -40 degree Fahrenheit Winter of 1941. Company of Heroes 2 will debut innovative weather simulating technology via developer Relic Entertainment's new Essence Engine 3.0 and its aptly named ColdTech system, publisher THQ has announced.
