Company of Heroes?

Just wondering if anybody's tried out Company of Heroes. It's a WWII RTS from Relic (makers of Homeworld and Warhammer: Dawn of War) and it looks *beautiful*. If I had the space in my budget, hard drive and gaming schedule I'd look more closely at it.

Anybody have it? Thoughts?
 
I just ran through the Infantry Tutorial in the single-player demo and I have to say I was impressed by the intuitive controls, excellent graphics, and fun gameplay.

That being said, the profanity that soldiers shout as they follow orders and react to situations, as well as the conspicuous lack of a profanity filter, will turn a lot of Christian gamers away from this game. And that's unfortunate; it looks like a great game.

I understand the developer's desire to create as accurate a representation of war as possible, but the fact remains that pointing and clicking isn't war, and the profanity isn't necessary for immersion.

If the retail version of the game offers a profanity filter, I would definitely recommend this game. Unfortunately, given the choice between muting all unit voices and listening to profanity, I can't recommend this game in good conscience. :(
 
Ah, that's really unfortunate. :/ I was playing Homeworld 2 over the weekend (I've been working on the single player campaign off and on for the past 3 years...yea, I know. :P) and I was impressed again by Relic's work and attention to detail and interface design. I was wondering how it would have transferred to a "reality"-based game.
