Yer its a shame we dont have inferno or some sort of nuke. hell id be happy with the full auto power. 
Well, I've had lengthy conversations with at least two CoH players, while at work.
It's... frightening, but also fairly cool. But mostly frightening.

I know it isnt exactly related but i was watching The Big Bang Theory the other night, where the girl was drawn into playing Sheldon's game AoC .. i jst think its hard to compete with games that can have big advertisement on popular TV shows like this. Also like in the South Park WoW episode.
Lets get CoH in on Emmerdale or something!

Hooray!, Its listed stateside! - Now to get It over here on the EU.site and get those placeholder artwork labels/cards up at local stores advertising this title as a digital download.

You know whats funny with that? One of the screenshot is highly similar to a certain copyrighted character.
What makes it better is the text under it.

CoH/CoV was regularly featured (though not mentioned, just shown) in Chuck. I've not seen it for a while, though.

Bah, i can't do that seeing as there's not here (suprise, suprise that's why i started the thread) so I end up putting other decent games over WoW, yet they have a whole row of about 24 copies dedicated to WoW.

Oh boy, this ole chestnut - The marketing of CoX ...don't get me started.
I was rather surprised in my local large AppleMac store to see no box artwork, no label placeholder presence advertising CoX was available for the AppleMac as a digital download. Many games were available, CoX was not one of them,... not even a mention anywhere.
This is where the marketing for this game falls down, you can talk the talk, but unless you walk the walk and get the product onto the shop floor - whats the point. I asked the assistant whether he had heard of 'City of Heroes' and he hadn't - nor had he any clue it was available as a digital download!.
#Why, I was so Infuriated I threw my milkshake in his face and frantically started pulling the gameboxes off the wall-peggs. I hazily remember shaking and tearing the WoW box to shreds with my bared teeth in a feral fury.
(#actual reality may of differed.)
