 Rating:  - addictingaddicting game, paid 100% worthily. playing on line is a lot of fun too, way harder than expert computer. only bummer are the HUGE patches that have to be downloaded in order to play on line. Rating: - Combined with KMOD, a Five Star (RT)SI was looking for a good WW2 mod for Total Annihilation, when I stumbled over this instead. I guess I had seen some pictures of Company of Heroes, but since they were zoomed-in and panned-in ones, I hadn't realized the game was basically a new version of old Command & Conquer, with a camera/viewpoint you could manipulate any way you wanted.

The brilliance of this game is the new gameplay mechanics introduced. No longer do you have dumb units to command around the map. Company of Heroes introduces a cover system, and when your units fall under attack, they automatically move to cover but ... Read More Rating: - Best RTS of the decadeI've been playing this game for over a year now and it's pretty much the only one I play. I've been thinking about why exactly it's so good and different, and here's what I came up with: (1) This is a game where there are NO hard and fast counter units. Unlike in C&C3, for example, where some vehicles are always better than some infantry and some units just demolish air units, Company of Heroes allows you to use tactics to overcome this limitation. For example. Let's say you have a ... Read More |
