Company of Heroes

Great game!!!! Some levels are hard as all get out. I do wish you could zoom out much farther. You can zoom in enough to see a mustard stain on your soldiers, which seems useless, except to bask in the beautiful resolution.

Entertaining but not quite as tactical as Close Combat.

Close Combat remains in my mind the gold standard for real time tactical squad-based combat. COH is very entertaining (especially in multiplayer mode), but resource management does distract from tactical execution and planning.

The best of the Best!!!

Excellent game with awesome campaigns, and mission difficulty. This game is a challenging one that keeps you tight on your seat all the time that a campaign lasts, because when you think that everything is almost done the computer strikes you back and can even destroy you as fast as the counterattack came. You can only depend on your strategy to survive to any challenge!. Very well done! I think that it has only a flaw,and it resides in the fact that missions are almost of the same type: Holding strategic points, destroying enemy headquarters, and conquering the map, but putting aside this issue I can highly reconmend it! I think that this game will last in the history of history based strategic games ever done, like age of empires did.

Good strategy game

This game was dirt cheap on Amazon. I have been wanting to get it for some time now. I just never got around to it. Having to build stuff is fun like in AOE. I haven't gotten really far, but it is definitely one of those games I can come back to and continue to play.

A very good game

Company of heroes is a great game. the controls are easy, the graphice are great, and the combat is excellent. there are many things you can do in the game. You can play online,play through the campaign, and do skirmish battles against the AI. the campaign spans the story of the US military's fight in france, from the landing on omaha beach to the Falaise pocket and the destruction of Army group B (German). The story is very historically accurate. the skirmish and online modes are almost the same thing. it's the same maps, just if you're playing against other people or against the AI.the 2 armies, the german whermacht, and the americans, are fairly evenly matched. they each have their strengths and weaknesses. For instance, the germans have better tanks, artillery,infantry, and light vehicles. Now you're probably thinking, how the hell can the americans be better than the germans? Well, the one decisive factor that let the americans win world war 2 was air power.The have two fighter attacks: A strafing run and a bombing run, both conducted by P-47 thunderbolts. These attacks can tear columns of german infantry and tanks to pieces (literally). the only thing the germans have regarding air defenses are the notorious Flak 88 and the less popular flak panzer. Both armies have numerous upgrades for their infantry and vehicles. Company of heroes is the best world war 2 RTS in a long time.

Wow!!!!

Company of Heroes has the set the bench mark for RTS games. CoH is an even greater leap forward for RTS games than Age of Empires II was. The graphics in this game are unforgetable; it requires a beefy graphic card but the results speak for themselves. The story, the AI, the game engine are all superb.

As mentioned in other reviews this game is not for the novice RTS player, even an experienced player can be utterly swamped by the battlefield in CoH. I would recommend playing a few Command and Conquers before getting into this.

So play if you dare, this game is truly awesome!

Great Strategy game

AI cheats in skirmish mode

I've played several RTS games out there - so I had high hopes for this one.

But let me just say this - if you play in skirmish mode (open maps vs. the computer) - you're probably not going to be able to win anything above easy - because the computer cheats.

And even in the easy mode - the computer doesn't seem to have to follow the same resource rules that you do.

Case in point - I had gotten the computer down to one low ammo resource point - yet it was able to have an unending supply of tanks come in from off screen.

And, as somebody else mentioned - when you start the round, and you only have enough resources for a couple of rifle squads, the computer has already gone through the upgrade tree - and has top of the line tanks.

Personally, I think it's just laziness on the part of Relic to have to resort to the computer cheating in order to create levels of difficulty.

And, as others have mentioned - your unit AI isn't exactly that smart either. You order a unit to attack an enemy unit - and half the time, you unit runs right up to the enemy and starts shooting at them - instead of finding a good spot (or even attacking from where they were when you told them to attack).

The rear of the tank is the weak spot - yet I've watched tanks on my team advance on the enemy backwards - with their weaker rear armor exposed - rather than turning around to face them with their better frontal armor.

Best RTS to Date

I have played many RTS games and COH delivers! The single player campaign is challenging on expert level or higher. If your like me, you have to pause action a million times to figure out what to produce next. Even with this advantage, the AI is still challenging. If your into WWII gaming or avid RTS player, this product is a must. This is just a fun game, even if your looking for different gaming experience that will capture your attention. The replayablilty is great and the graphics are some of the best I've seen in a long time. The only complaint I have is, I wish there were more campaigns to chose and the single player isn't long enough. Multiplayer is alot of fun as well, but I am too slow with my keyboard commands and shortcuts to enjoy it. If your on the fence post about purchasing this product GET IT you won't regret it!!!
