![]() I applaud Relic Entertainment for their outstanding multiplayer support for Company of Heroes 2. This is one of the first games that I have seen supporting a built-in streaming/broadcasting feature. "Īnother impressive addition is the built-in function that lets you stream/broadcast your game simply by logging into your account. "Another impressive addition is the built-in function that lets you stream/broadcast your game simply by logging into your account. The multiplayer portion provides players with a ton of different options on how you want to play the game. You can customize your army load-outs and save them out to equip whichever ones you want for battle. The multiplayer will be the main reason you’ll be playing Company of Heroes 2 after you finish the campaign. This particularly plays a large part in the addicting multiplayer that the game offers. The game is full of strategic elements and fun warfare. Play strategically by using flanking positions to sneak up on enemies and take over the equipment or take out their heavy artillery. The game is quite deep when it comes to combat, you can use cover to evade extra fire and keep your troops alive longer. You use left click to select your squads and right-click to give them commands just like any standard strategy games.Īs you progress through missions you will gain new units to command, new abilities will be unlocked and so on. Navigating with the mouse and giving commands felt natural and easy. Once I’ve done all of that the mission was completed and I moved to on to the next. The initial mission asks the player to move my team towards a German territory and destroy their assault troops, then the heavy machine guns, German Panzer tanks and drive the fascists back. ![]() You move your troops from one location to another on the map and complete objectives as you’re told. Overall, they could have done a way better job after all these years, but that is not the case.Ĭompany of Heroes 2 gameplay is quite standard. Stuff like this disappoints me, I am hoping that Relic Entertainment learns their lessons and starts to make engines that have some sort of noticeable graphical overhaul rather than additions of smoke and destruction effects. I don’t see anything remarkable about it other than a marketing tool that tries to make the game seem that it’s next-gen strategy game, when in reality it’s not at all. The engine does provide crisp destruction and smoke effects, but that’s about it. How do you make a sequel to a game seven years later and make it look like almost the original game? This decision boggles my mind, and I am quite displeased. ![]() However, that was not the case, and this will annoy many people, especially those who are moving on to next-generation PC gaming and consoles. Now, graphics don’t make a game, but when you make a sequel to a game that was released years ago I expect it to look more visual appealing than its predecessor. "I am hoping that Relic Entertainment learns their lessons and starts to make engines that have some sort of noticeable graphical overhaul rather than additions of smoke and destruction effects. The game lacks the visual fidelity, and that is a misfortune, especially for this kind of game. When I started playing the game for the first time, I thought I was playing a game that was released 6 or more years ago. The new Essence 3.0 game engine is not bad however I was extremely disappointed with the visuals, animations and the overall look of the game. For the first time ever Relic introduces the Russian faction to the series and focuses the main story on them. The whole game is based on eastern European battles against the Germans as the Soviet faction. It totally captures the horrific moments of what its like to be in a war by introducing old-school television cut-scenes in a semi black and white colors, main menus that are full of war-themes, war medals and badges. But is it worth the wait? Let’s find out.Ĭompany of Heroes 2 does a job well done when it comes to representing its story elements and war-like theme. Relic has been touting Company of Heroes 2 with their new Essence 3.0 game engine that promised to bring updated visuals, destruction physics and so on. The long awaited sequel to one of the best real time strategy games is finally here.
