Sega has just announced that Company of Heroes 2 will march to retail on June 25 in North America and Europe.

Company of Heroes and developer Relic Entertainment were the most expensive properties in the THQ asset auction earlier this year, going for $26.6 million. The studio and franchise almost ended up in the hands of Zenimax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks (Fallout, Elder Scrolls), for $26.3 million.

"Our acquisition by Sega has given us the chance to work with a new partner that has a great track record of working with long standing PC franchises," said Company of Heroes 2 executive producer Jonathan Dowdeswell. "It gives us great confidence to know that we have a well aligned team working to bring the best experience we can to gamers around the world."

Sega is one of the few publishers supporting high-quality real-time strategy games in the market. The publisher is also responsible for the Total War franchise.

DESCRIPTION

In the world’s darkest hour you are a commander of the Soviet Red Army, entrenched in brutal frontline warfare to free Mother Russia from the Nazi invaders. It is 1941 and the beginning of what will become the bloodiest conflict of World War II resulting in more than 14 million military casualties. Witness the struggles of the Red Army from near defeat through their incredible triumph over Germany in the most challenging and costly theatre of the war, the Eastern Front. Your military tactics hold the power to tip the very balance of this conflict. Engage in tactical combat that will define you as a military leader and wield the might of the Soviet Empire as you smash your way to Berlin. The Motherland is Calling!

Mass Effect 3 weapons and armor guide

Stats, images, and a locations walkthrough for the gear of ME3

if you thought Mass Effect 2 had an impressive selection of weapons and armor, then Mass Effect 3 will knock your space boots off. There are 32 weapons and 12 armor sets available in Mass Effect 3, though with the Reapers constantly breathing down your neck, you might miss some. Not only do we have intel on each piece of equipment, we’ve charted the exact location of everything in our full walkthrough. Now you have no excuse not to look your finest just before a building-sized Reaper crushes you like a bug.

It’s important to note that while some weapons and armor become available at shops if you miss them during missions, this is not the case for most items, so you’ll want to use the walkthrough portion of this guide to avoid missing anything. Alternatively, a small number of weapons and armor are only available in shops. 

On the first pages of this guide you’ll find a rundown of every weapon and piece of armor in the game (not including DLC or pre-order bonuses) along with their stats and locations. On the following pages you’ll find a complete walkthrough of the entire game with more thorough descriptions and screens of where to find everything, in the order we found to be most natural
