DESCRIPTION
Company of Heroes is a real-time strategy game set amidst the backdrop of World War II Europe. Designed by the team behind the acclaimed Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War, Company of Heroes features a cinematic single-player campaign that incorporates real-time physics and fully destructible environments. Players will guide soldiers of the Able Company through the D-Day invasion and beyond, with squad AI designed to take cover, outflank the enemy, and perform other advanced tactics. Up to eight players can compete over LAN or via Internet in Axis versus Allied combat. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Fast-paced, intense and will keep you on the edge of your seat, it's an incredible RTS game. The resource gathering is made simple which works well because engagements require a lot of micromanaging.”

“Easily one of the best RTS games out there. The Essence Engine offers elements to real-time strategy that have previously only been seen in first or third-person games.
What I liked:
- The Essence Engine - with it, Company of Heroes redefined the real-time strategy genre.
- Graphically pleasing in almost every single way. There's gritty violence, photo-realistic effects, and a level of graphical detail previously unheard of in an RTS.
- The gameplay is superb. Explosions reshape the battlefield, and infantry units are able to effectively take cover in craters or behind destroyed vehicles, as well as hole up in structures to fire out of any windows. There's plenty of strategies available, and even a single unit can be tasked to play a great role.
- Tactics pay off - heavy weapons can be tasked to fire at a tank's rear for extra damage, tank treads can be destroyed in order to immobilise, engines can be damaged or destroyed, gunners killed; there's a great many ways to counter your foes, and the attention to detail is amazing.
- The game has a very cinematic feel to it - and every battle plays out differently. A truck under fire might spin out of control and collide with another vehicle before exploding, or the fact that soldiers can actually miss their target might mean the difference between life and death.
What I didn't like:
- Early on, client-side things such as ragdoll physics and any latency-heavy elements might cause a syncing error when playing with a friend online. Gradually as the game has aged, most of these bugs have been ironed out.
- Occasionally infantry squad-AI can be frustrating.
- Until they're veteran, US rangers can't hit a target to save their lives! :-P”
