SEGA announces a couple of community-requested features for Company of Heroes 2 are out of beta, saying Relic's World War II RTS sequel now supports an observer mode, and also now offers modification tools for the creation of custom content. Here's word on the mod tools: "Allowing players to modify existing content to refine the game experience and giving them options to establish their own win conditions and game rules will ultimately create even more and diverse content available for everyone to enjoy." And here's the deal on observation mode:

Observer Mode allows players to sync up and watch live multiplayer matches as they unfold. The feature will let them view games from a variety of different angles, at different speeds and player perspectives and grants access to live data that was previously inaccessible. It provides viewers the opportunity to analyze strategies and learn from the best players in the world. Players can also broadcast their feed through our integrated Twitch interface and showcase their skills to a broader audience.
