Company of Heroes 2

Having attempted to finish COH3 I feel obligated to come back and review its more worthy predecessor, this is a masterful RTS and one of the best in the genre. The campaign is gothic, dark and depressing as it should be, it gets the atmosphere of the eastern front spot on. The missions are creative, the story keeps a good pace, and there are unique battlefield mechanics that really have not been done this well anywhere else (mud, ice, blizzards etc). Even the extra challenge missions are memorable.

Atmospher of war and despair, great mikro and makro strategy and nostalgic lore make this game stays in my heart

One of, if not THE best RTS on WW2. Fun, dynamic, after all these years still the go to for some ole' skirmishes R&R.

war game good

niceee

Honestly Company of Heroes 1 was great game - a master piece. CoH2 is a poor substitute, honestly half the time your units don't do what you want them to. You can't turn in place, you have to do a large circle now with vehicles - the ai seems to always hit you in the rear. Some maps are great, others are so poorly scripted (as soon you start winning the enemy gets free tanks - you can see it on the graph). I don't know if player vs player the game is more balanced. But the AI in most maps always moves between your lines perfectly (Without being seen) and always knows the best angles to attack cause he can always see your units and there range of fire. This game goes from fun to frustrating in about 60 secs. I find myself baby sitting every single unit in order for it to position itself in cover, or turn to face a enemy (motors seem to turn on their own but anti tank don't its werid - for a unit just to sit still while it gets hammered by a tank - when its whole purpose is to go against tanks.. You think it would turn on its own - or and make sure you manually rotate them, if you click on a anti tank to kill a tank to its right, they wheel themselves to the tank before they fire - its dumb).

the game crashes a lot when you play 4 against AI experts and its not because of the graphics or internet connection.
