Does today's new cinematic Company of Heroes 2 trailer in any way inform you of how good the game will be? Not in the least. Does it give you a pleasant two minutes of watching something pretty? Oh absolutely! In that spirit, here, brighten up your morning with a miserable look at the trials and tribulations of a Red Army soldier.

The trailer's made of in-game cinematics mish-mashed tomorrow, so it's good to see Relic's continue with that approach. The moment in the first CoH when the cinematic blended into gameplay was jolly special and, well, I was surprised when I realised I was now in control.

Company of Heroes 2 rolls onto PC on June 25, developed by Relic and published by Sega.
