Buy Company of Heroes 2 on Sale

Yes, yes, and yes. Hands down my favorite RTS game ever.

Pros -
Community - The community deserves the spotlight. Hundreds of new maps, camos, unit packs, and game modes!
Graphics - Attractive game especially for an RTS. Great detail in the troops. Terrain changes with battle.
Playability - It never gets old. Playing with friends or by yourself the game is never the same.
Controls - Simple and easy.

Cons
Pathfinding - Sometimes your troops take the most difficult, dangerous path you can think of which usually ends up with them being killed.
AI - Basically useless without your commands.

Despite all, I never get sick of this. Didn't like it at first but once I added British and American troops the game took off for me. Me and my friend never get sick of playing this game. The detail and battles are amazing. This game simply rocks.

After scrolling through many negative reviews, I began to realize that these reviews were not reviewing the game at all, they were just complaining about Relics business choices. Now the amount of DLC's Relic made for this game is shameful, but the game is amazing and definitley worth the 30 dollars. Rather then write a lengthy review i will just have people see how many hours I put into the game and have them judge for themselves.

This game is one of, if not, the best Real Time Strategy game I've ever played. With Workshop support, plenty of user-created maps and mods and a ton of replay value, This game is awesome.

"The infantry made the ultimate sacrifice"
"Our brave infantry is dying. . ."
"I do not want to die like this. . . not like this. . ."
"Don´t let me die here. . ."
"My wife. . . my children. . ."
"My child. . . i am leaving you. . ."
"Remember him"
"So cold. . ."
"Here we are fighting while the companies have factories in the US AND Germany, hell, they are making money while we kill each other"

Overall a not to bad game. there are some units that are overpowerd but the devs are slowly working with the community tot fix this. The only downside to this game is there is a hell of alot of DLC and in game purchases needed. Wait till sale then grab the master collection :)

Fun WW2 RTS with a bit of a learning curve.

Community is absolutely toxic but what can you do.

Strategy is involved. The workshop has some great maps, and the AI let alone multiplayer is fun. Smarter buy when on sale. DLCs add a varietability you will enjoy after campaign mode and several AI matches. I would argue while slightly slower in resource collection game plays out like SC2 with strategy and once you have a firm grasp on your factions build, multiplayer will become less enjoyable and more like a math problem. That being said; the house to house battles are fun and if you are a WWII buff or history major, you will find an appreciation for this game.

This has to be one of my favourite RTS of all time! WW 2 action at its best!

Combines infantry and vehicle strategy very, very well. When you feel you have the upper hand, an arty strike turns it all around!

Graphics are great combined with fantastic sound effects! You sometimes feel for your men and what their going through :(

Well worth the hours dedicated to this game. Hopefully, the developers will bring out a new one in the near future!

Buy it! Well worth it if your a hardcore RTS fan!

Another vehicle has been lost in the defence of the Rodina.

So this is what happened:

- Downloaded a modded map with unlimited resources just for the sake of it.
- Got online with a friend and fought against 4 Expert AI
- Map loaded. We were on the south, they were in the north. Only route to travel was a gorge in the middle.
- Battle started. Entire gorge was filled with tanks, trucks, men. You name it.
- Friend decided to sent out a spy plane.
- The entire hill behind the gorge was literally covered in red by enemy troops, and it didn't stop until it reached the first command post.
- We knew we were ♥♥♥♥ed.
- Continue to fight.
- Made a desperate push.
- But were pushed back.
- Friend pushed again with twenty T-40's. 19 were destroyed. One made it across.
- That lone T-40 was the result of our victory.
- Looked at the battle results.
- And realised the battle took nearly three hours.

Would definitely do that again!

steps to enjoying CoH2.

1. Buy the game

2. Find a bridge map with one or two bridges

3. put AI on normal

4. laugh at its incompetence as it charges your defences and dies over and over again

5. do this over and over again

6. get cocky

7. play against Expert AI on the same map

8. Get f***** by the AI

9. cry as it produces 50 tanks in like three minues

10. get gud

11. play over 600 hours

12. fight the expert again

13. get rekt

14. commit seppuku to regain your honour for your family

11/10 would waste 664 hours to end up commiting seppuku again

Wonderful RTS game with spectacular visuals. One of the most popular games with my friends and I.

5 Factions (With DLC), Soviets, Amaricans, British, and 2 groups of Nazi called Wehrmacht and Oberkommando. All play different with strengths and weaknesses, and with quite good historical accuracy. Units range from Infantry, Mortar teams, Snipers, Machine gun crews, Light vehicles, multiple kinds of Tanks, and Artillery.

For you WW2 buffs out there, or just RTS fans ready for a fast paced, action filled fight, this is your game.

I used to play lot of CoH 1 BUT this game is definitely better than CoH1,dont need much words its just "AMAZING" They improved everything according to the first game.They add different factions and more units.You can feel the atmosphere and intense gameplay.Tank battles are so good and I can choose different commanders which will depend on my gameplay style.The mods are bringing new uptades to the game and fixing bugs all the time.If you are World War 2 fanboy and RTS lover you can pay fullprice and won't regret it.This game will be an investment for you to spend your time :D

I loved COH and like COH2 much more. It would be cool if they allowed modders the ability to modify more than just vehicle skins. The commanders in this game give it a grander feel than limiting each faction to only 3 commanders. Graphics are well done. One of my favorite RTS games.

CoH2 is a great WWII themed RTS with a strong focus on combat. Amazingly detailed mechanics and physics, especially the dynamics of taking cover behind world objects and in garrisons, make CoH2 a uniquely realistic gaming experience.
