From the TrueSight system that emulates the units’ line of sight to the cover-system that encourages clever unit placement – not to mention the combined arms approach and the hard and soft counters gameplay that will make you think twice before trying to destroy a tank with a simple squad of riflemen – each game presents players with an uninterrupted stream of meaningful tactical choices that can turn the tide of war.
PICK YOUR FIGHT
NB: multiplayer standalones allow you to play on any map against anyone owning any COH2 product.
The Company of Heroes 2 base game gives you access to two multiplayer armies from the Eastern Front: the Red Army (SOV) and the Wehrmacht Ostheer (GER). It also comes with a gritty single-player campaign that will give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the series core tenets. Step into the boots of a Soviet commander of the Red Army, entrenched in brutal frontline warfare to free Mother Russia from the Enemy invaders! Adjust your tactics to take into account the brutal weather conditions and wield the might of the Soviet Empire as you smash your way to Berlin.
Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies adds two new factions from the Western Front to the roster of playable multiplayer armies: the Oberkommando West (OKW) and the US Forces (USF). While the former puts you in charge of an aggressive and powerful army with very specialized and elite units – yet in very limited numbers – the latter introduces an expeditionary corps that allows for a variety of approaches and very powerful combined arms tactics, but which inevitably falls a bit short in the heavy armor department.
Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault offers a compelling single-player campaign for the USF faction revolving around the Battle of the Bulge. Engage in a dynamic non-linear campaign across the Ardennes landscape consisting of 18 scenarios, choose between three iconic companies, customize their abilities and bear the consequences of your actions as overall company health persists between missions.
Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces is the latest entry in the series and features this iconic Allied army from WWII (UKF). Experience a unique tech-tree that challenges the player to balance the constant trade-off between mobility and defense. Surprise your opponents with your development choices and an open end game configuration. Enjoy an army with character and distinctive units & abilities, from the Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank to the RAF glider.

Worked Fine. Thank you! Such great game one of the best RTS ever made. I really like this game so much. I will play it with my friends now. If you like WW2 RTS this one it´s a must have in your library.
A Great game!! Perfect for those who love strategy games and offers WW2 fighting. I am really looking forward for the sequel COH3! I am really happy to acquire it especially for the Multiplayer skirmishes!!
I really liked playing this game, really good for people that like strategy games and more! Its really fun and definetly worth buying. You can play with 1-5 Factions even tho in the base game i think you can only play with 2 which is completly fine since the game is good anyways
A Great game!! Perfect for those who love strategy games and offers WW2 fighting. I am really looking forward for the sequel COH3! I am really happy to acquire it especially for the Multiplayer skirmishes!!
Game that is easy to understand but hard to master. Play as 1 of the 5 factions that are playable (Soviets, Wermacht, OKW, UK, USA) ... It's easier to just watch a YouTube video titled "Company of Heroes 2 Review | Historically Accurate Edition™" made by SsethTzeentach (https://youtu.be/K3KPPSU3xxQ). After that you can deside by yourself.
Purchased Company of Heroes 2 Master Collection but was sent a Steam Code for Company of Heroes Franchise Edition which does not include any expansions for COH2. Wrong product . Do not purchase!!!!!!!
There is some mistake you gave me "Company of Heroes Franchise" instead of "Company of Heroes 2: Master Collection". Could you please gave me what I pay for. This is annoying! You may see may order in my profile.
Great fun overall and small, yet competitive scene. You can play modes ranging from 1v1, to chaos that is 4v4 in multiplayer. One of the best RTS games of the decade. I've played it alone in automatch and with friends and neither of the two ever got boring.
Lots of units
nice graphics
5 factions to pick from
Some unfixed bugs
Unstable netcode, interenet hickups cause you to leave the game
Classic never dies!
Good to revisit an old game that reconnects the fun once I started playing again.
Got hold of the expansions too.
The set is well worth the money spent.
Everyone should try out this classic!

Everything Okay !Preporuka za saradnju kupio sam igru sve je ok i sve je proslo bez problema brzo jednostavno ,veoma jeftino i povoljno igraj te steam igre po jeftinim cijenama,preporucujem instant gaming!
COH 1-st wast fine because the factions had basically the same level units.
As of COH 2: It was good at the beginning, but they also wanted to make more money so they did the DLC thing.
And every faction that the DLC- brought where OP. The did fix it. But now at in the end it is unblanced and you are most likely to lose, if you play axis.
