I guess I am a FPS gamer, since I mostly play Quake3 and 4.

I tried an RTS game - Command and Conquer (C&C), and liked it but wasn't ready to spend $40 on it.

Now I heard about Company of Heroes : Opposing Fronts and that it was a good RTS game.

It seems like it is totally different from C&C in the sense that it is a WWII game, but is it basically the same in the level of play?

I mean after 2 hours of playing C&C, I felt like I could play the game and had fun, with Company of Heros, is it similar like that, or is it a game that takes day to get the hang of it?

The reason is that I was looking at getting a 8600 GTS card and I found this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150227

It is around the same price for a similar card from eVGA and BFG, but it comes bundled with Company of Heroes - which is a $39 saving then if I but the game separately, and if the COH is similar in skill, ease of picking it up and as entertaining as Comand and Conqure then I am in!

Oh, the game bundle info is here:

I wonder when XFX will start bundling the girl with a card, then I would buy a pair!!

I found C&C3 EXTREMLY mediocre, repetative, and all around boring. CoH on the other hand is my favorite RTS since Starcraft. Infact, I havn't stopped playing it since it came out last october.
