Developer Interview

Where did you start in your game industry career, what was your first title, and what do you like most about working in the game industry?

Started at Electronic Arts Canada as a QA tester working on FIFA 97 Super Nintendo. Was stoked to be getting paid to play video games!

What is the most challenging aspect of your job in general? What was most challenging in working on CoH2?

Aligning the game requirements and team together to get features done on time.

If you played the original Company of Heroes, which faction was your favorite?

Wehrmacht

Describe your style of play in CoH2: Do you build your army around certain units? How aggressive or conservative are you? What would you name your style?

I focus on capturing territory and back capping the enemy. I will also aggressively attack the enemy base to make them think about defense and rattle them early on.

What’s your favorite way to play CoH2? (e.g., 1 vs. 1 automatch, 4 vs. 4 annihilation custom matches with friends/family, 2 vs. 2 leagues in the office)?

Team Automatch with a friend 2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3 and 4 vs. 4.

What would you tell a player who wants to know how to have the most fun with CoH2’s Theater of War and multiplayer modes?

Start with completing the campaign to get the basics down, then play some Theater of War before moving onto Automatch games.
