On the presentation side, CoH performs extremely well. The details are great, with plenty of ambient detail like glowing force fields, combat effects and trash blowing in the breeze. Each area of the city is packed with back alleys, shortcuts and changes in elevation. With the resolution turned up and details cranked, CoH runs very well on my PC (a P4 2.5Ghz with a relatively low-end video card and 256MB of RAM). Just look at the screens! And the character models don't suffer a bit, in terms of either costumes or combat effects. (One touch I really like is the way ice armor gradually goes from sparkling to dripping as time goes on.)
