THQ Have Detailed The New Weather System In Company Of Heroes 2, Makes The Soviet Winter As Big A Threat As The Opposition

THQ have revealed some more details for it's 2013 upcoming PC Company Of Heroes 2 game. Company Of Heroes 2 makes use of their new Essence Engine 3.0 and ColdTech System  to simulate a soviet winter. this means temperatures in the game can reach as low as -40 'F, temperatures which can cause human skin to freeze in minutes. in the game, this means exposed infantry units will gradually freeze to death unless the player keeps them warm by building fires or garrisoning them in buildings. it won't just be the cold that's simulated, blizzards are also in the game and just as deadly.

The snow in the game is just as dynamic. it can accumulate on buildings and vehicles or be melted and removed from objects by the player. the snow has depth and can affect troop movements. Ice is also a factor in the game, it can affect troop movements but it can also be used as a weapon. it can collapse/be destroyed from underneath, dropping the opposition into freezing waters.
