Is an awesome game. I probably won't be on CoH unless there is a TF or something I wanna do going on.

So....anything going on today/tonight?

I love it so far. It doesn't do the regular RTS thing where you have to build a base and collect supplies. Instead you lead up to 4 squads of troops, each with their own unique squad leader and weapons systems to maximize the possibilities for strategizing, across a map full of bad guys. You can go straight to the map marker and complete the mission, but you won't get as much xp for leveling up your squads RPG style. You also can get gear drops from the enemy that you can equip between missions.

Think of it as a sort of Tactics game like FF Tactics or the old Ogre Battle for N64(one of my all time faves), but in real time instead of being turn-based. It's honestly fun, especially because I'm doing some training right now in Warfighting Tactics and Techniques. It's fun to see what actually works in this game and what doesn't. But, anyways, there ya have it.

Oh, and the acting and story are WAAAAAY above what you usually see in RTS games. Quality stuff.
