Assuming it means Company of Heroes, I don't but I'd like to. (Though I hear Men of War has quietly outstripped it in some respects.)

Company of Heros online play has more or less stagnated to SC1 levels, as far as I can tell. There's not much point in trying to pick up and play anymore, at least not for fun.

That said, I've recently been trying out Eastern Front in skirmish. I'm not really impressed, since I can't seem to figure out how you're supposed to play Russians, but I've yet to really give the against them a try either.

Never got around to multiplayer or mods.
But singleplayer campaigns were a blast to play. Gotta love steam-rolling the enemy base with tanks. ^_^

I loved the SP campaigns, expansion campaigns included.

Skirmish never really caught on, but some of the campaign missions were really fun, some of the best in real time strategy, though CoH is definitely not your typical RTS.
I wonder why it doesn't have a bigger fanbase. Is it hard to mod?

not really, just look at Eastern Front, its a giant mod that adds the soviet faction to the game, and there are a ton of user made maps that relic has sponsored and mad official maps in the game

I guess that explains why it's getting more and more unpopular... :rolleyes:
Maybe the idea fo semi-realistic RTS never caught on.
For me my favorite feature is the infantry cover system, which I don't see a lot of.

I'll definitely have to check out Men of War. o_o

CoH is too random for competitive play.
a riflemen pineapple grenade can either take out a whole MG42 squad in a building in one hit, or kill none at all.
Random instant kill headshots etc.

I was ranked somewhere around 26 on the ladders playing as Axis but eventually grew tired of the random bull**** and Relic's inability to balance their way out of a box.

Well now you have to decide if the game is a simulator or a game...
