Early missions are a little too directed - more a case of following the directions you've given than actual decision making. The single-player campaign eases us back into Company of Heroes' particular brand of resource collection, micro-management and strategic positioning nicely. While games like the Total War series have seen armchair generals catered for, if you're hankering to a return to the more traditional scorched earth warfare of Company Heroes, the sequel offers pretty much everything you could want - with a varied campaign, great multi-player options and challenging AI.ĭespite a worrying resemblance to the KKK, Russian Snipers are a potent tool when used correctly Starcraft aside, base building RTS games have fallen away from popularity. The answer to question posed above is broadly - yes. But is that enough to allow Company of Heroes 2 to take its place in upper echelons of the current crop of RTS games?
It's taken almost seven years for a full sequel to arrive, yet with Company of Heroes 2 Relic haven't so much innovated as returned to the formula that made the original such a joy to play. For those of us not inclined towards a combination of the words 'Star' and 'Craft', Company of Heroes is perhaps the finest traditional RTS of the past decade.
