Title: Company of Heroes 2: Western Front Armies
Post by: MadeManG74 on July 30, 2014, 04:07:57 pm: So now the Western Front standalone expansion is out. I reckon this game is tops, anyone here playing it?

Great little RTS with more focus on tactics than overall strategy. You know the drill, if anyone here plays add me on steam and lets have some games.

I play 1v1 exclusively, I'm not really one for the team games in RTS.

CoH1 is still played as well I believe, I prefer 2 now, but that might be because I didn't get to play 1 until fairly recently too.

Both great games, and if you didn't want to spend monies, you can get Western Front Armies only for about $20 I believe. It comes with Oberkommando West and US Forces. I don't think it has a single player campaign, but the real appeal of this game is multiplayer IMO.

Do you like RTS games? As I said this is significantly different to more macro based games like C&C or AoE. It's more based on tactical control and there is no resource gathering. It's more about map control and it also doesn't have quite the same meta of Rush > Boom > Turtle > Rush

Yup, I play this game quite a bit. Since I don't have a console, this is my bread and butter game for playing online/non story driven game.

If you want to get an idea of what the game is like, Propagandacast does a daily casting of games with commentary. It gives you some insight into the mechanics and how a typical game plays out. I have a few matches broadcast on this channel too.

Where did Taro Yamada go, he used to play this until he got eaten alive by DotA.
