Company of Heroes 2 Expansions & DLCs

Strategy 03 September 2015

A third stand-alone expansion for Company of Heroes 2. It was developed by the Relic Entertainment studio, creators of the base game and the two previous expansions. As in the case of the Western Front Armies add-on, developers focused mainly on the multiplayer mode and added British Armed Forces to network game. Along with it developers provided the players with 15 new units, 6 commanders with various abilities, and 8 new maps depicting historical places of World War II. It is worth noting that the authors also included the cultural differences that were present in the British Army, and that we can develop technology tree in two ways, with emphasis on either its offensive or defensive aspects. In contrast to previous expansions, The British Forces features also a number of cosmetic improvements in graphics and animations as well as improved balance between various factions.

The second stand-alone expansion for Company of Heroes 2, the game developed in 2013 by the Relic Entertainment studio. As the subtitle of the add-on suggests, in the game we return to the Western Front of World War II during the famous German counter-offensive in the Ardennes. In contrast to the first expansion that focused on multiplayer mode, this time the developers decided to concentrate on the single player campaign. During 18 subsequent missions telling a single, coherent story we take charge of the American units fighting against the forces of Nazi Germany. Game develops dynamically depending on our decisions, and the key to success is to gain experience, plan tactically and wisely manage a very limited supply of people and equipment. Technical aspects of the game remained unchanged, but the developers decided to introduce three new American companies with unique officers.

The first major standalone expansion for Company of Heroes 2, a popular war strategy game from Relic Entertainment. Contrary to the vanilla game, which focuses on the Russian-German struggle on the Eastern Front, the add-on takes us to the West, letting us assume command over two completely new armies that so far were only available in DLCs. We may lead either the US Army or the German Oberkommando. Each side received new, previously unavailable abilities and enhancements as well as strategic and tactical capabilities. The gameplay was enriched by the introduction of a reworked progression system. There are also new types of units, characteristic of the aforementioned sides of the conflict, to choose from. Despite the fact that The Western Front Armies is dedicated to multiplayer gameplay, it is also possible to compete against the AI.
