Amazing Game! Have been playing it for years and still holds its replay value with great multiplayer and campaigns. I recommend this game to any WW2 lovers or just strait up strategy gamers.

Why get this game?:

- posseses almost every vehicle and artillery system used in World war 2, ranging from the French Renault R35 to the Russian IS-3 heavy breakthrough tank
- Great multiplayer with a small but growing community of players
- Requires tactics over massed tank rushes(unless you want to be slaughtered by your friends entrenched infantry and anti-tank guns!)
- Deployable air support such as B-29's, Me-262's, and the famous P-51 Mustang
- An amazing single player campaign throughout the game and its added expansions featuring US/UK, German, and Soviet campaigns with the Russian one featuring one of the most epic last stands in history known as the Battle of Berlin

This is the first generation of Men of War and Company of Heroes 2. I played this many years ago along with the first one, Now the first game has terrible graphics but is still playable. Blitzkrieg 2 is a lot better but you still have to manouvre around the age barrier of the game. Realistic to an extent as bombers actually destroy tanks and not just knock a little bit off the huge red health bar games tend to have these days. You can build trenches, road blocks and other types of obstacles which make the whole concept a lot more appealing. I have the first on disc (still) and just downloading this second anthology now, deffinitely worth the time and specially worth the low cost of money for the amount of gameplay you will get out of this!

8/10

(If you played the older generation of Command and Conquer, then you will absolutely love this!)

I loved this game when I was younger, and was destroyed when I found out it didn't work on Windows 7. Whether you get this or the first game, it'll be well worth the the $5 fee. It has a great campaign with famous battles from World War II, with the ability to play as America, Russia, or Germany. Beyond that it has a great custom map editor that allows you to create entire campaigns. The possibilities are endless with the map editor and a healthy amount of mods for anyone who wants anything extra. To add to this deal, the game includes both expansion packs for free.

If you like WWII RTS games like Men of War and Company of Heroes as much as I do (which is a lot) then I guarantee you will like this game.

Note: I have played a lot of this game offline so my playtime wont look like much

This game was my entire child hood, I used to play this game for hours a day. Campaign was really good in my opinion, but multiplayer is where it really shines.

Sadly, there is a problem with the screen tearing and I do not know how to fix it. It really bugs me and I wish I could find a solution. Hopefully they add an update and fix it. It seems to happen with people who use 1920 x 1080 resloutions.

Another downfall to this is that multiplayer is disabled, which is a really huge shame. I hope this gets enough support and they will add steam servers to Blitzkrieg II

Overall, if you like any RTS, (especially company of heroes) then i definatly recommended this game.

This game was my childhood. I remember playing this game for hours on end, even had a 6 hour multiplayer game once (not proud, but sorta proud). The campaign is amazing, very indepth and offers tremendous amounts of player skill to vary the outcomes of any scenario. You can play a total of three campaigns, one for USA, Germany, and Soviet Russia. Although these campaigns are great, and could easily suck up a few days of your time, the real fun is in the multiplayer area. The game is a totally different animal and is immensely fun as a multiplayer, unfortunately the multiplayer function is disabled :'( I'm sure this is one game that steam would not regret opening some multiplayer servers for. Back in the day, this game always had around 50 people playing it at any time, which is much higher than most RTS games can say for their landing lobby. If you're into WW2 tactics and creating your own strategies in real-time combat, this is the game for you.

An oldie but a goodie in the WWII genre. The three campaigns are very in-depth, and rewarding of careful planning rather than just throwing armor at the enemy. The amount of ways to go about completing your goal is also very pleasing, with many, many classes of units with many dozens of units among those classes.

Very worthy addition to any RTS-enthusiast's library.

As a child, when I first got this on disc the files were corrupted, I cried-I had bought it with my own money.
The game sat on my desk for about a year untill I was able to buy a new version
only the Liberation addon was not corrupted
I played liberation liberally unitil about another year later when I was able to purchase the full Anthology
I wasted about 4 more years of my life and late childhood finishing all the campaigns
I have had revelations on how to finish levels in my dreams
I created massive and historically accurate maps to play against the AI
I loved the game so much I wanted to try multiplayer, but it was nonexistant; so not being one to fail I direct lincked my cpu with my dad's old Win vista, installed Blitz2 on it, and played MP-against myself!
If that does not tell you how good this game is I don't know what will.
Bought it on steam just to give this review.

P.S. the last German Missions for Liberation and Fall of Reich still give me nightmares

This game looks so old, by today's standards. However, it plays very well. Very fun and addicting. I recommend it fully.


I'm only abouut 2 hours into it but Its very challenging. Definately more a realistic game instead of a arcade style RTS.

Soldiers are quickly torn appart from tanks. Infantry left in the open quickly slaughtered.

I'm just discovering this game now and Would have been great to play this on multiplayer. All those years ago.

I haven't played Blitzkrieg 2 when it first came out, because I thought that the 3D graphic was cartoonish looking and it had a gameplay mechanic that I absolutely hated in RTS. In one infantry unit you can visually see 10 soldiers. The less HP this unit has, the less soldiers there will be. One soldier is not an individual unit, but just a 10 percent of a whole unit's health. I love it when RTS games give every unit some individuality, like the kill count in Starcraft or a personal name like in Original War. And I just hate when RTS games, like Blitzkrieg 2, go in the opposite direction in that regard.
But playing this now, I can look past that. Even playing this today this game is fun, though it feels a bit arcade-y, less difficult and certainly more friendlier to WW2 RTS newcomers. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=761274778 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=761918483
