Company of Heroes 2 Closed Beta begins next week!
We are proud to announce that Company of Heroes 2, the eagerly anticipated strategy game from Relic Entertainment, will be running an exclusive, early access beta phase which will go live next week on Tuesday, the 2nd of April! The closed beta playtest features the game’s critically acclaimed competitive multiplayer and skirmish gameplay, giving players access to six maps, 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 competitive gameplay, as well as the ability to play alone or with teammates against the AI. Players also get access to the first 40 levels of progression, and the ability to customize their loadouts to suit their play style using the all new Army Customizer. This first phase of the closed beta will be open to pre-order customers only. There will be a second phase in the coming weeks where a wider audience will get a chance to take part. For more information keep watching http://www.companyofheroes.com. The Company of Heroes 2 closed beta will be hosted on Steam and utilizes Steamworks match-making and friend lists. Players need the free Steam client to redeem closed beta access keys and play. Greg Wilson, Producer of Company of Heroes 2, commented, “We are excited to be able to launch the closed beta for Company of Heroes 2. We invite our fans to help us test and balance the game prior to launch, as well as see the changes we’ve already made since the Alpha test in December.” Quinn Duffy, Game Director, said “We’ve added two brand new maps to the roster for this phase as well as the four already in the Alpha Stress Test. Players can battle fiercely for control of the Oka River, or brave a close quarters skirmish on the outskirts of Moscow.” Be sure to follow Company of Heroes on Facebook and Twitter for future updates on the closed beta!

from what ive heard, this game will be more similar to the Men at War series. I love COH and MW but they are totally different games. I heard that your troops need rest and what not in this new game. I have no clue if this is true, I just heard it. I hope that they sticked to a lot of the original game’s principles. I just want the same game with more weapons, vehicles, infantry, and of coarse, better graphics.

I was in the Alpha phase testing – they said Alpha testers will have access to all later Betas. Is this still true?

I hope that they keep mirror matches in and not bother about the small number of people who dont want it because as always there will be people who hate change and cry about it on the internet!

I would love to know when the beta started (as in EST time). I would also love to know how I’m receiving the beta (by code or automatic placement in my Steam library).

Hi Sega.
Now it is April 2nd, and no one seems to have seen any beta yet.
Any idea if there is a beta or this were just a hoax to make more people preorder ?

Hey I was excited for that Dawn of War II copy, and it looked like it was pretty much a guaranteed thing since the pre order thing went up by a solid 10% to over 50% from what I saw yesterday. That is a big part of why I pre-ordered from steam instead of THQ.com or elsewhere. Can I get some clarification on what’s going on?
