The new Steam version of COH lets you play all the campaigns from a single menu/game, but you still have to buy the expansions separately to unlock them. If you want the German Market Garden (OF), British Liberation of Caen (OF), German Tiger Ace (TOV), and American Causeway (TOV) campaigns you have to buy the Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor expansion packs. The base game gives you the American Invasion of Normandy campaign, that's it. You get all of it except Normandy for $20? Or is there a DLC menu in-game? I think you'll be impressed.Originally posted by blossom:Or I suppose it does, it seems to say it's the new version for all three, but I'm still not sure what I need to BUY. For everyone else, get the demo and try it yourself. If you've ever played and enjoyed an RTS game of any type, buy this game immediately.
Coincidentally, it's also one of the first games with Microsoft's "Games for Windows" certification, which means (among other things) that it integrates automatically into Vista's Games menu. It elevates the entire real-time strategy genre to the next level.Ĭompany of Heroes is the first new game I installed after installing Vista RC1. But this is a real-time strategy game with incredible graphical detail, dynamic, destructible levels, and unparalleled unit intelligence and tactics.
Sure, the World War II genre has been done to death.
The Company of Heroes demo is a whopping 1.8 gigabytes in size, but it offers a significant chunk of the game: unlimited, unlocked skirmish mode against the CPU and two single player maps. It's so good, in fact, that I was compelled to complete every optional objective in the campaign missions. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, the game currently has a 95% review average on GameRankings with 13 reviews, which puts it squarely on track to be one of the top 10 best reviewed PC games of all time. And it's quite possibly one of the best real-time strategy games ever made. It's easily one of the best games of the year for the PC. My latest gaming obsession is the new real-time strategy game, Company of Heroes.
