It´s not like you wouldn´t see anything in the desert that wasn´t used in other fronts. Besides, that snow is looking pretty.
I think what you really miss are the brits. Admit it. MG nest spam. Artillery spam. Brit blob spam. C´mon, no need to be ashamed (I play BRITZ too )
I have always been afraid that a Russian faction will be turned into some blobby crap a la early DoW2 Nids or Brits.

I think that they will make an expansion in Africa...they mentioned snow that can bog down tanks and such? Well, all they need to do is basically apply another "skin" to that mechanic and they've got a pile of sand instead!
Maybe not stuck then, but rather slowed down.
I would like to get this, but I think I would need to upgrade my PC to enjoy it at it's best.

Deserts would look awesome.
I would like them to, but I don't think they will ever adapt the African Theater to the COH engine, as the warfare there was way too mechanized, and it would lead to a game that would have more vehicles than any other unit filled with panzer elite-like factions with a larger focus on the vehicles than the infantry, only with more diversity with the vehicles.
That's why even if the first COH was in the western front, it was mostly on urban warfare maps, and even when the terrain was flat and open, the few house complexes would still be the controlled choke-points of the map.
Eastern front seems ideal. If there ever is a COH 3, I'm sure they would pick the late stages of the war near and in Berlin for the reasons I mentioned above.
can't wait for COH2 though :p

And lets not forget that the beggining of the africa campaign could be brits vs italians in battles such as Keren and operation compass, then later brits against the africa korps, which means three factions and lots of stuff not seen in other fronts!
Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

Well, the base would actually be there IF the game starts in 1942, since most of the weapons the Wehrmacht used were the same in both fronts. So, it would all be a matter of designing the Commonwealth and the italians.
But honestly, after those Pershing versus Tiger fights, watching a Stuart or Crusader :wub: a Panzer III wouldn´t be exactly epic.
I hope the expansion is Italy personally. Not that much cover in the desert, afaik.

Under the patronage of Nihil. So there.
Pretty sure they are going to follow the same pattern that they have for CoH, not expanding the universe (everything is still Normandy) but adding in additional factions and the like. Would be a bit trickier on the Eastern Front, but they could just add in satellite armies or differently themed armies like the Wehr vs PE.

What about a matilda against the early tiger? awesome nonethelessBut honestly, after those Pershing versus Tiger fights, watching a Stuart or Crusader :wub: a Panzer III wouldn´t be exactly epic.

I disagree. I think they should definetely bring something new. If THQ cant deliver more than a good campaign with the same game mechanics of CoH they should be ashamed of themselves. Are you aware of the professionally made mod Eastern front? They need to be better than the modders specially after so many years after the release of CoH. If they are just giving us a campaign with no gameplay improvements Id rather stick to the current CoH and play mods.
