It was the beginning of Relics slow sad slide into putting out utter trash. I don't even know how they continue to exist post-THQ, SEGA must be losing money hand over fist to keep the lights on.
Yeah it's not like the original CoH is probably literally the best-regarded RTS in history or anything :jerkbag:

Having your work get scrapped at the last minute tends to do that.
Dust Wars is the HW2 equivalent of Jodorowsky's Dune or Trotskyism. Not worth thinking about, not like you wouldn't find reason to be disappointed by it.

Company of heroes online must of sucked some money up and was bizzarely dumped before it got out of beta
vCoH played better and I don't think they had a very good strategy in place to make money from it.

I'm guessing there were also server rental issues, because it came in the last couple of years of Relic also hosting stuff on 'their' servers, so I guess they would have had to either renegotiate the pre-existing deal or build a whole new server architecture if they wanted it to be big.

It looks broken. Not badly made, but purely broken.

EDIT: PCGames.de's review brings up the AI a lot. It's not terribly adaptive apparently.
Says (I think?) that there's only 5 skirmish/MP maps coming with the game - is there going to be a map creator released at some point?
