Pretty okay campaign with kickazz soundtrack, the best in the series. Making your own skirmish is also incredibly annoying. Usually unique, but not entirely distinct and some are just way better than others. Relies on Commanders who are incredibly rare to find via drop. Engineer units are wildly different in what they do and as a result suck azz. Ambulances (US), assembly points (UK), and some other stuff for the other armies are excellent additions. Everyone goes left and right, claiming OKW is far too strong or Soviet Union is so OP (all factions suck and need some unique balancing a-la CoH 1 style). Tales of Valor was good too, but not as good as Opposing Fronts, in my opinion. Tiger Ace remains one of my favorite campaigns of all time. The vanilla campaign is good, but the Opposing Fronts campaigns were AMAZING. Graphics-wise, it looks more polished but not as realistic. Company of Heroes 1 has some of the best single player campaigns I've ever seen in a RTS game. Instead, each unit has a specific role on the battlefield. Many of their units also lack versatility. Game is more fast-paced because animations are faster. Faction Overview Like the Wehrmacht faction in Company of Heroes 1, The Ostheer have a well-trained and more organized troop composition when compared to the allies. BEAUTIFUL campaign, with amazing soundtrack to boot.

I don't know why CoH 2 had to complicate stuff. Joining a game or making your own was FAR less complicated the menu and game UIs were easy to understand, plus switching locations in the game was SO clear. Doctrines actually determined the way you played and everyone had the same stuff. ALL Engineer units could build the same defenses. America was a spam army that encouraged you to keep your men alive, Wehrmacht was the defend now, destroy later army, UK was Spamalot army, and Panzer Lehr proved its superiority once again.

Even graphics don't look that bad (or even inferior) compared to CoH 2's graphics.
