Although this isnt a very good RTS, at least there are several ways you can play it. Well, two. The expected multiplayer, and the various permutations of single-player AI whack-a-mole, which include the usual terrible campaign and a handful of options in the theater of war mode. This theater of war mode gives you several missions to represent 1941 on the Eastern Front, including unique commander sticks, much like how Starcraft II lets you play with a whole set of units in the campaign that have zero bearing on the multiplayer and skirmish games. So dont get too used to those awesome partisans that one commander guys gets. At least not yet. 1942, 1943, 1944, and 1945 will presumably be for sale later on.
What makes this particularly galling is that Company of Heroes 1 holds up so well. Im still having a grand time playing Company of Heroes. Do Sega and Relic really expect us to pay for a boondoggle this riddled with DLC shaped holes?

Viewed side by side, it might be tough to distinguish Company of Heroes 2 from its predecessor. When examined up close, the changes introduced to distinguish warfare on the Eastern Front of World War II from the Western are as problematic as they are interesting. However, that comparison is to one of the finest real-time strategy games ever made, and being mostly as good as that makes this an excellent game on its own. Play the original first (it’s cheap) but Company of Heroes 2 satisfied my appetite for more.
Company of Heroes 2 is an entertaining strategy game that excels when it pulls out all the stops.

Went from the highest rated rts to average. Seems good though, i enjoyed the beta.
Relic hasn't made a ambitious game in a long time
Single player sounds great. Will buy on a steam saleRPS's single player review, the only one that counts

Read that Chick review. Game doesn't even sound good at all. And yes, I agree with those system requirements. It still looks like COH1 yet runs like a slideshow on my computer, which ran COH1 fine.
That's weird as hell though. It runs perfectly on my computer(which by now is about 2 years old); high FPS on the highest settings. Maybe you should update your system.

Really don't like the large number of commanders vs the old doctrines. Choosing "perks" is also something that feels really lame.
Does "PC gaming charm" mean "doesn't fucking work worth shit and I don't even want to play it until they release some patches and driver updates"?This has "PC gaming charm" written all over it. Why, oh why is my backlog so huge right now.
So hang on, this game is bring Titans to their knees?
Fucking hell!
It looks like arse, barely better than COH 1!
There seems to just be a pool of commander abilities, and each commander has a different line up from that pool with a good deal of overlap. The bulletins seem to me to have such a minor effect (such as 3% health or 2% accuracy) they are rather pointless.

Although I'd agree with the 7.5-8/10 range.

So my present understanding is that they replaced the trees with branchless commander options, many of which will be sold as DLC down the line.
That can't be real, right? Someone fix my understanding.
