Company of Heroes 2 chills out with ColdTech
As no recreation of World War 2's Eastern Front is complete without bitter, crippling cold, Relic has whipped up some fancy new technical whizzbangs it's calling 'ColdTech' for Company of Heroes 2. Snow will gather to slow your troops, blizzards will sweep in, and soldiers risk freezing to death.
Tanks On Ice never made it to Broadway, for obvious reasons

whoa, wonder if the AI will be able to react correctly to these situations. Game has a solid spot on my must buy at release list, which is never all that long. (hate buying games at release)

I thought the AI's use of cover worked pretty well. Not perfect. So, I would expect it be able to handle this here. Although, there were easily some strategies the AI just couldn't counter at all.
I assume they're balancing out infantry though. This stuff reads like infantry will be nearly useless in some situations.

The snow build-up sounds cool. The ice effects are awesome. But this "Your army men will slowly freeze in the bitter Soviet winter unless they're hunkering down in buildings or around fires" sounds incredibly tedious...
