And because everything was just so funny, I ordered the game through Gameliebe.com. Prior to applying for the newsletter, which gives me a 5 voucher and then paid only 28 as a download version. If anyway massive GB's of data downloaded, I also do not need (unfinished) DVD more. This makes the goat not fat.
It is interesting, however, that with me only 3,8GB download variant and again 900 MB for the German language files were downloaded. In total that makes 4.7GB, while - as I have heard the - the DVD-customers were additionally surprised with a 4.5GB patch, which almost makes up so the entire (German) game. Is the DVD about only dummy?
Due to the long download time with my enormous broadband (2 Mbps at best), I could not play much, but a couple of jerks I have nevertheless been identified (despite Radeon 7950 and Quad-Core).
But this is not so bad.
How does the game really behaves, what options you have and whether Steam join in, you will see if you use it intensively. Optically any case sees's ok, but the big difference in relation to its predecessor remained for me out first.
However, I love CoH 1 and hopefully a real fan of CoH2, because I am sure that a great many gigabytes wait to patches on the Community, to be submitted successively.
