Watch out for the sequel to Company of Heroes. It might take your head off!

The Editor of Games For Windows magazine seems to have let slip that there's a sequel to Company of Heroes in the works.

GFW mag will, apparently, have 'exclusive' info about the follow up in which, we quote,

"We get to kill more Nazis again!! Yay! Them shitz never gets old, knowhumsayin?"

Not exactly, but I think we get the drift.

So the idea that a massively successful game would get a sequel isn't exactly the most inspired thing we've heard - our betting is that Relic started work on the sequel almost as soon as they finished the first, given the critical acclaim that the game received (bit-tech, for instance, loved it).

Expect more of the same - more missions, more unit types, more locations but the same kind of intricate RTS gameplay. Frankly, who's to complain - CoH was a great game last year and, Supreme Commander notwithstanding, the sequel could well be one of the best games we see this year (or next, no word on a release date yet).

Did you play through the game? Excited about a sequel? Let us know your thoughts over in the forums.
