[fibreoptik]

[dracorianpendragon]

Also great brother,we will miss you Brian Wood.

[Gabd3v]

RIP Brian.

even till today and on...

We miss you so...

[RarendtheBlack]

Maybe they should take away that "FINISH HIM" annotation that pops up the first time he says his name.

[freeadultdating115]

Awsome Short Clip

[SalihKiraci]

will the COH online ever come back? and what is the future of COH

[djay24689]

RIP

[hellq6]

how he died?

[mecher3k]

@hellq6

Car Crash.

Was driving with his pregnant wife when he saw a approaching SUV and knew it was going to impact. He turned the car so his side would take almost all of the force. Killing him but saving his wife and unborn child.

Short version, but says all that needs to be said about the hero he was.

[hellq6]

@mecher3k so sad rip brian wood

[archon179]

so when the open beta closes whats gonna happen?

[santhoshmarx]

1. NO MORE ADS!

2. YouTubeAdblocker, com!

3. Copy Paste and Thumb Up to let others know!

[muc0rmuc3do]

doesn't matter, he's game will shut down

[mecher3k]

@muc0rmuc3do

WTF are you talking about you dumb ass? Look up what a fucking beta is for a game. Just because they are ending the open beta doesn't mean the game is never coming out. You fail.

"Stay tuned for more details on the official release date."

Yea certainly seems like they are shutting the game down when the dev's themselves say that!

FUCK YOU.

[DjZyfer]

yeah and you wanna know how they support him? they closed the game....

[TheKlungo]

@DjZyfer They shut down the game because it flopped and most people that tried it just went back to regular Company of Heroes. This also lets them put all their time and resources into making Company of Heroes 2 the best damn game ever, which will most likely be announced this August. Relic said that is when they unveil their next RTS game, it's already confirmed to not be Homeworld 3 and I doubt we will see Dawn of War 3 so soon after the new expansion was just released.

[Limpstul]

@TheKlungo if so I'll get it for sure. CoH is one the best rts I've ever played

[acenumbah1]

@TheKlungo actually its been announced...sooo yeah. ( dow 3 )

[DjZyfer]

yeah and you wanna know how they support him? they closed the game....

[Deradundrum]

R.I.P. bro. You'll always live on in through your games.

[cinemascene]

Brian Wood, you are a true hero yourself! RIP, i loving memory of the designer who brought us awesome PC RTS games.

"And we're caught up in//The crossfire//Of Heaven and hell..."

[SoaringxMagic]

RIP your a memory 4ever

[Joekid585]

Let's keep the memory of Brian one of respect let's not have arguments here guys. RIP

[xcel909]

I've never given to any charities before except to homeless person on the street. I've also never met Brian Woods before but with one action he has gained my deepest respect. Its one thing to say you will die protecting the ones you love but doing it on instinct without hesitation shows how honorable and loving he really was. His child will grow knowing that there father cherished them even before they were born. 1 Day I hope to be a father like that. Give a little or give a lot...he deserves it

[ilovepancakes7]

I hope that bitch behind the wheel of the chevy dies the same way he did but even worse...

[xxSyphenxx]

@ilovepancakes7 nah, the way he died was epic and will be remembered..

the whore bitch should be burned alive.

along with her friend who took the wheel as the driver was taking off her sweater..

[AdamJonesXX10]

I actually shed a tear this morning when I watched his wifes interview. Once again the peace of shit people in the world ruin the innocent peoples lives. I hope that drugged up bitch dies.

[Retartedsk8rz]

R.I.P CHAMP!

[caliboy312]

i dont kno if you guys heard but theres a donation for his wife and unborn child, you guys should check it out its the.brian wood memorial trust . Im sure anything would help, thanx, And yes this guy is a real hero

[SirMensiS]

RIP Brian..

[YourNeighbor1000]

why couldnt that fucking bitch who was under the influence die?

This guy is much better than that bitch who does drugs

hope that girl dies sometime this year

[cinemascene]

@YourNeighbor1000 Life imprisonment is too easy on the druggie. she should be hung, or put on a electric chair!

[NarutoDetective]

When you play the game it's FREE... and you will in the company of a real HERO, Brian Wood... Damn... My prayers go to his family specially his wife and their kid.

I'm still at awe at how brave this man is...



[BxKilla14]

RIP

[Lyaagato]

fallen hero..

R.I.P Brian

[dukenukem4lifeyo123]

Im a tough guy and I cried when I heard the story.

[poopchunk3]

It feels weird to watch this interview knowing that something tragic would happen to him in a few months. Anyways, I am saddened by the events that took place and would like to chime in and say rest in peace Brian Wood. Well wishes to his family.

[TritonMan333]

R.I.P.

[TLJCBFH]

[pixelTRE]

The really sad thing is that Brian was a nice family guy that did nothing wrong yet he pays the ultimate price and leaves his wife and kid behind just because a group of drunk arseholes decide to get pissed and drive.

[harperadam]

[Bionicicide]

RIP

[Chubzdoomer]

This man is dead now.. R.I.P.

[natho369]

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEE :D

[Fowtowsjop]

they better not make it able to play with the Premium version of CoH, that would fuck it up, lots of in-experienced people that join you Comp Stomp games and screw up your rank

[Eivannn233]

Wow, anywhere to play huh? What about the freakin 7GB download? It'll take ages for my computer to dl this.

[MustNotRead]

he's lying through his teeth. the plan is to turn our precious CoH into a discusting "Pay to win" piece of crap! id rather pay once and play forever, thanks! ill stick with my hard copy of CoH.

[love2punk]

Wow coh has heaps of potential , they could make either a) The russian front or " eastern front " ( i am aware they have a mod of that ) , or b) they could make the African theater with the brits and the germans! why would they make this company of heroes online! WHY?

[Fowtowsjop]

@love2punk they will not make an official Eastern Front game, because they promote tournaments for the Eastern Front mod in the news section ;)

[love2punk]

@Fowtowsjop and because they're lazy and making Rts's retarded

[Botev1912Botev]

where to downloiad ????

[mattmmnnb]

@Botev1912Botev u need to sign up a file planiet and sign up at company of heroes.com k

[LostSpider]

WARNING: there is a transdresser brit player impersonating the balance manager in relic company of heroes, he hates PE players because they are too manly

[doomblackdragon]

I hope they fix the kick out modem explote. You all should know what I mean. You are kicking your enemys ass. Just before you destory their base. They unplug their internet conection. The game ends and you get a tie marker and not a win. After so many tie markers no one will play with you sence they think your a cheater. Which you got screwwed over by the cheaters.

[sybercat6]

@doomblackdragon An easy way to fix that is to shift it so that whoever disconnects for whichever reason, gets it counted as a loss.

[TheeDarkBatman]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEE

[SHOPATTHEMALL]

like every clip is arty spam. what is this

[Detrian]

Laughing at all the retarded babies like beatstick112.

[mightyguy60]

im glad its free, im pissed off its a strat, and what was the point of making this?

[beatstick112]

This is what you've been working on this whole time? 4 years since CoH, and the best you can come up with is a Battlefield Heroes / MapleStory / All of the ten thousand online micropayment games released from Korea every three seconds model? I would gladly pay full price for a new Company of Heroes in a different time period, or even another expansion pack adding a faction or two, but no. Let's take the best strategy game ever released, and cater to the Chinese market. May you fall to piracy.

[QsKIIHALOIIWoWII]

@beatstick112 uhhh they made dow2 you retard, You think they only make coh?

[radianvitug]

@moogledotcom sounds gay but pro cuz' he designed this AWESOME game

[CaptMalashenko]

This is gonna be just like ToV and DoW2,

great idea - completely fu*ked up...

[Algu6]

Seems like it'll be a little better battlefield heroes which was cool like for 1 week

[radianvitug]

@Algu6 VVEERRYYY DIFFRENT!! LOL the only thing that they got in common is the WWII thing and the difference is this is RTS not MMORPG and there are too much elements to name for COHO while Battlefield Heroes can be named with 3 things:

1. suks

2. EVERYTHING COSTS REAL MONEY. ALL THE INGAME STUFF EXPIRE IN 1 DAY!

3. It suks....

[Strider505]

see, THIS is how to combat piracy. pay attention EA & Activision.

[ivtumc]

thank god its free i would never pay for that piece of shit game in 2010

[MEHMEDmaffiaRULES]

Do i hear WoW music on the background ?

[Ieuz100]

god damn this would rule on xbox....

[mojo007164]

whens it out? looks sweet, a lot of though looks to have gone into this, a definate for me

[sporeman17ify]

where can you download it?

[dafigster2k7]

Soooo just like any other game that's already out apart from this one is shit well it is free...

[Chronologger]

@dafigster2k7

That's awfully ignorant of you.

Company of Heroes is a 9/10, AAA game of the year title, Relic & THQ are making the next one free and you're calling it shit?

You're a little turd you know that?

[dafigster2k7]

@Chronologger thats my opinion i personally think it looks bad and people are allowed opinion u know

[Chronologger]

@dafigster2k7

You acted more like you were trying to express your opinion as fact, which is why I called you out.

Just because YOU don't like it, that doesn't mean it isn't good.

[sadrace]

Oh well free Coh even though I bought it less than a year ago but there is a downside to the free CoH, and that is that you CAN NOT play mods.

[smeargleboy]

do i hear globus in the background?

[106riseagainst]

I hope they dont ruin the original company of heroes

[rotsdemon666]

The title of this is "Company Of Heroes: Online". It will be downloadable on its own, because this is multiplayer only and is independent from the normal CoH and its expansions. As far as I understand the gameplay it will be very similar to the CoH-modification Europe in Ruins.

[doomblackdragon]

@rotsdemon666 They said it will be a full game with single player campion and Single play skrimish. The biggest difference from this one and the other CoH is the game will have the abilty to make custom maps. Something the First CoH was lacking sence it was all about being copied out of a history text book.

[Maverick20536]

wait is this a strategy game or an FPS game?

[xxDaSilentSniper]

@Maverick20536 it's a RTS game

[victory4life00]

@Maverick20536 strategy game

[hehabomba]

it's FREE!

[zhihao1]

not sure to be either outraged by this or exited about it... been an original player since 2006 and now its free for everyone

[TeHDeStrOyER101]

so this game is free and i can download it any time?

o_0 i have the demo and never played the original game which sucks cuz i really like it.

if it is free where can i download it?

[zachgilm]

@JRod1745 If your thinking that this is a Battlefield Game.....Your retarted.

[FLORENAS]

@zachgilm or just confused :)

[zhihao1]

@JRod1745 it has nothing to do with bad company 2, its a strategy game out in 2006

[AssaultMovies12]

What the hell. What about the people that bought the original and all the expansions? We deserve some exclusive shit.

[banido]

microtransactions...in a RTS game? Heroes in CoH? What...why heroes? It's not a fantasy game, it's supposed to be as realistic as possible and heroes with super features and shit doesn't fit in.

And I BOUGHT CoH and all the expansions...and now they're ruining it.

[Lordredratson]

@banido I know what you mean man this sadddens me :(

[DLMTheDead]

Anyone wanna join an awesome new clan? Please come to the link below as we need members

jokers-snipers.webs.com

Thank you

[Bluedrake42]

woot free! wait did he just say microtransaction game? what... the fuck...

[KINGOFYIPPI]

I know I am gonna get alot of hate from this. But what is triple A?

[Loftis02]

@KINGOFYIPPI

Triple A is just a way of saying 5 out of 5 or 100/100. Basically means the game has succeeded in all areas and is very well made.

holy shit assassins creed looks so crazy
