I was replying to the fact that company of heroes, while praised in the media, was a bit below the radar because of Faces of War, Silent Heroes, Call Of Duty 3 and the like. I haven't noticed its greatness only when the demo was released. in my eyes, so not that it means it is, its a sleeper hit.

also, on the cs part, its supposed to be the cs of rtses in terms of popularity, not cs's gamestyle. after all, everyone knows CS sucks.

Actually, Faces of War and Silent Heroes were well below the exposure level of Company of Heroes.

I can tell you as Community Manager for a WWII RTS that Company of Heroes was well, well exposed. The buzz there was far, far greater than Faces of War. As for Silent Heroes, it was practically unknown.

Now as for CoD 3, I have no idea. But I haven't seen to many people talking about it.

Also, I am not talking about just the media (which was a gigantic effort). I'm talking about buzz and forum activity. It was huge. Really huge...

For 2006, I can hardly think of another game that truly surpassed CoH in terms of buzz (and non-sleeperness). Some did surpass it but hardly by a significant margin.
