Default Should i open Company Of Heroes?

I have it with me... I heard it was good. Just never got around to playing it... it came with one of my 8800 gt's...

Should i open it? or should i try to sell it?

I don't think i can get much for it anymore, i may have waited too long to make it worth selling.

yah, it's not worth selling, open it and enjoy it, one of the best RTSs I've ever played, very dynamic, and you feel like you make a strategical influence, whereas in other games, it's more like make a hoard of units and throw them into a battle and hope you win (ie World in Conflict)

I didn't like it, but no point in selling it now, its worthless. I liked AoE back in the day, but I just think I don't like RTS's anymore.

merk

your description is spot on except for saying that wic is a game where you just throw your units

you apparently haven't spent any amount of time in that game, because otherwise you'd know it isn't about just spamming units because you can't...

resources generate so slowly and every time you lose your troops, you have to wait for a supply ship to come back... its all about micro management in WIC since you don't deal with large armies

it's not so much that, it's just that when in battle, you can't micromanage a fight between multiple units as well as you can micro-manage a fight in CoH

that's what I mean by just throwing them in
