Solo challenges are difficult challenges that feature limited resources and strict conditions for victory. Co-Op Scenarios are challenging conflicts that can be played with up to two players. In the theatre, you can participate in three different types of games, fighting for either the Soviet Union or the Wehrmacht. You will spend most of your time in the “Theatre of War.”. There are many options for players outside of the campaign. Company of Heroes 2 is an extremely dense game, offering an immense value for your dollar. Luckily, as is the case with any RTS game, the campaign is only a small portion of the complete package. While historically accurate, it also presents a blunting effect on the campaign as a whole. You will often win through superior numbers and tactics, almost never by superior firepower. What this ultimately equates to is the fact that you will have a lot of troops, usually weaker than your German opponents. A cooldown button present in many of the story missions, the conscript ability allows you to summon a group of weaker soldiers roughly every 30 seconds. Relic’s homage to the fallen Russians comes in the form of the conscript ability. Each mission features a new unit, ability, or tactic that will be used in the battles to come. The story missions are a great way to teach newer players the ropes of the game. There is great variation here, with some missions having you defend against German tanks, while another has you scouting with snipers in the freezing cold. Story aside, the missions are actually quite interesting and diverse. The voice acting is equally poor, depicting the all too familiar Russian stereotypes that will make you cringe. Unfortunately, the cut-scenes are of comically poor quality, and at times can interfere with the flow of the missions. The campaign chronicles the lives and stories of Russian soldiers during key battles of the war. Somewhere between 22 to 30 million Russians lost their lives in the conflict. In the end, the Soviet Union was responsible for stemming the flow of the German war machine, but not at the cost of a staggering loss of life. Relic has opted to tell the tale of the Soviet Union and German conflict. Most games that touch upon World War II star the Americans in some way. In doing so, they have focused on refining the original gameplay while adding a few modern gaming amenities.Ĭompany of Heroes 2 approaches the dreaded conflict from a different perspective. Their latest installment, the long awaited Company of Heroes 2, attempts to build upon the critical success of the first game and successive expansion packs.
Relic’s RTS series Company of Heroes separated itself from the pack of other WWII games. It is also a very popular subject for video games, and there are countless games based upon the experience in some shape or form. It is an extremely touchy subject for many countries and cultures, due to the sheer loss of life.
