Really good RTS game, the campaign is excellent set during WW2 on the eastern front, trying to overcome the power of the nazi war machine and struggle with the harsh winters of Russia. With the added bonus of extra single player missions for dlc. Recommend to anyone that enjoys world war games or RTS games in general, hundreds of achievements and hours of fun, death and devastation. The multiplayer section of the game is addictive, allowing you to pit your wits against other players or CPU in 1v1 or 4v4 battles win or lose you will earn in game currency to purchase better doctrines, DLC, skins etc, a really great game to have and play. That been said there are a few flaws with the game, a couple of the achievements are no longer able to be unlocked since the game has change so much since it's release (and it doesn't look like they will fix this any time soon) and compared to the original CoH this fails to meet expectations. However the game is still excellent and well worth your money and your time.

What can I say that 3000+ hours doesn't say for me? Its a great RTS...probably my favorite game I've ever played which is saying something since I'm well into my 50's and have played 10's of thousands of hours of games both video and otherwise.

CoH2 is certainly not without its flaws. The DLC issue is well known by now and balance has always been a frustrating goal always seeming just out of reach of the ever changing balance team at Relic. And despite some of Relic's questionable choices (mostly coming from management over the years) I feel overall the game at long last is a triumph. Unfortunately, it reached this stage at the end of its product cycle instead of the beginning which is a tragedy quite frankly.

There is some question of whether or not their will ever be a Company of Heroes 3. I certainly hope so, but if not CoH2 is one of those games capable of giving a player thousands of hours of gameplay without ever feeling like you've seen it all/done it all. If you have any interest whatsoever in WWII or RTS games....this is an automatic buy. Thanks for spending the time to read my review!

If you are running in to the issue where you can't obtain a free copy of the game because you already have DLC:

To fix it, go to the store page (/app/231430/Company_of_Heroes_2) in your browser (not Steam itself), log in to your Steam account, press F12 and go to the Console tab of the window that pops up, paste/type AddFreeLicense('328549');, and hit enter.

The page should pop up a box that says the license has been added.

You can only do this while the game is free.

This is a game my late brother loved more than all others. He'd play this game religiously. My favorite memory of him playing this game would be when he'd use the command console to speed the game up 1000x (or close to that) and play entire 1v7 matches in a matter of minutes on the hardest difficulty. I would enjoy playing against the computer with him. This game has a fantastic multiplayer mode and just being able to cooperate while playing spoiled me too much. I will always look back on my time with this game fondly. I hope anyone else out there can find just a positive experience with this. Have a great day.

Not as good as the first imo but still playable and Epstein didnt kill himself
