Errm, it's nothing like Call of Duty, in that Call of Duty is a first-person-shooter, and Company of Heroes is not......it's a real-time-strategy, like Command & Conquer, etc.
It's supposed to be pretty good, but the storyline missions are relatively short (playing time for a decent player will be 10-15 hours), and apparently the computer "cheats" in skirmish mode (in that he'll have access to tanks WAY before you can). I guess the game-makers were aiming at the multiplayer-RTS market.
Of course, I don't know this myself, and am relying on reports from friends, since the game-makers also decided to make the game XP/Vista only, it doesn't work on Win2k or below.

That annoys me.
Games like b17 flying fortress means u can switch to different planes, even switch sides mid-game. It was fantastic

Even tho i have what i think is a good spec computer, this game seems to be a bit jerky and runs slow at times
Spec is as follows:
Intel Pentium 2.80 Ghz Dual Core
2 Gb RAM
NVidia 6600 Graphics Card
Any ideas anyone?
Machine is a fresh build of windows too so no spyware etc

Unless that 6600 is a GT, and overclocked, I'd say that's the reason for it being a bit jerky......although the official minimum spec does look quite low, for the screenshots I've seen of the game.

Yeah i thought that might be the case, can you recommend a better Gfx card for under £100...the rest of the machine is the bollox, just the gfx card is dragging its ass

For under £100, I'd suggest this, but I'd also suggest finding an extra £10 and plumbing up for this...
