Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts (PC) (PC Games)

Company of Heroes was met with universal acclaim on its 2006 release, and with good reason. And Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts can only add to the praise.

Few expansion packs come loaded with as many new features as Relic has seen fit to put in to Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts - two entirely new sides, an equal number of expansive campaigns, and enough potential multiplayer action to keep any player...

Last year's Company of Heroes from THQ gave the real-time-strategy genre an injection of vigor...

Overall, Opposing Fronts is an excellent standalone expansion pack for the original Company of Heroes. It may require some practice by RTS novices in order to get the hang of things but anyone that gives the game a chance will certainly not regret it.

When Relic first introduced Company of Heroes a little over 12 months ago, the game was widely regarded as being somewhat of a marvel. Along had come a game that took the rapidly staling real-time strategy genre and moulded it into something fresh and...

Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is brilliant. Let's just get that out there. The original game was superb, but Relic has out done itself with this standalone expansion pack (although to call it an expansion is as offensive to Relic as it is...

I couldn't rightly give Opposing Fronts 100% as the above niggles exist, but it's with a level of pedantry that they're noted. What you're left with, forgiving these slight imperfections, is an engrossingly huge cinematic experience. The single player...

At the end of my Company of Heroes review I said that this title needed a sequel, and lo-and-behold, here it is

Excellent Strategy Franchise ; Impressive Sequel

High End Graphic Requirements ; Not So Accessable As Original

The gameplay, as mentioned has not changed so much, although there seems to be more storyline to these two campaigns, with stricter linear paths through them, especially early on in the game. Controls will immediately feel familiar to those that have...

Review: Solo and multiplayer go to war

Company of Heroes is still great fun ; New factions play totally different ; Lots of use of the word 'wanker

Single-player lacks polish of the original

Single-player lacks the original's polish, but two diverse faction additions mean multiplayer's even more addictive than before.

Staggering amount of excellent new content

No complaints here

Few expansion packs come loaded with as many new features as Relic has seen fit to put in -- two entirely new sides, an equal number of expansive campaigns, and enough potential multiplayer action to keep any player occupied for months. With that said...

I'm sure a lot of people wondered “What's that supposed to mean??” the first time they heard the US Army's “Army of One” tag line, but anyone that has played Call of Duty will know exactly what it means. “Johnson! Take out that machine gun!” ...

Opposing Forces puts the player in a position of decision making and responsibility, but still offers up the visual and auditory aspects of down-in-the-trenches fighting. It rewards quick thinking and attention to detail, and punishes those that...

Tremendous production values, physics, and interesting and varied new factions

Patch download essential, new factions may prove slightly daunting for the uninitiated
