Excellent New Humble Bundle Features Company of Heroes, Dawn of War Games

@bliciant: That's all I want in my life, Dawn of War 3, why can't they just be nice!!! WHYYYY

@MikeManiac61: get it for its avg price, the ardenes assault dlc only get single player campaign, while COH2 excels on its multiplayer, or you just can play single player skirmish.

And it also had Dawn of War 1, which you must play it.

@MikeManiac61: The first one was a legendary game, and has some of the best mods out there. Definatelly one of the top 5 RTSs I've played in the past 15 years, if not ever. It's has one of the worst multiplayer lobbies out there though, and plenty of connection issues (made more severe by the lack of a reconnect option).

CoH 2 is closer to being a CoH1 expansion than an actual sequel, but it's a technically more updated game, so my hopes are that mods make it the perfect experience CoH could have been.

In any case, vanilla CoH 1 has one of the best single player campaigns I've ever played in any strategy game.

If you have none of those games, for 5 bucks it's one of the best bundles I've ever seen.

@MikeManiac61: Company of Heroes is unbelievably well made for the time it was made. it still plays, looks and sounds better than just about any other RTS. Company of Heroes 2 didn't really improve all that much on it, and some would say the changes they did make made the game worse. Personally i found it to be pretty much the same game with some different units.

It really rewards smart use of units, and since it is based on world war 2 you can pretty much figure out how different kind of weapons is supposed to be used without checking online for what the different unit counters are.

And for a bit of extra stuff and some rebalancing i'd reccomend the blitzkrieg mod

@MikeManiac61: They're great, especially if you have an interest in WWII and at $5 they're must haves

@alzate_bryan: follow the "a new Humble Weekly Bundle" link at the first line of the article, then
click the green "Pay what you want" button at the top right of the Humble Bundle page. Enter the desired donation value (and where you want the rest of the money to go), and pay. It will provide you with a receipt and redemption codes for Steam keys (as well as some instructions on how to redeem [not super clear instructions, though, IMO, but it's easy])

@Karmazyn: Dawn of War 1 is the better one for RTS, while the 2nd installment is like hmm more straightforward action. But you wont get any better warhammer 40K games other that this.

@Karmazyn: Dawn of War 2 and it's expansions are some of my favorite RTS games ever. The story mode is awesome in all of them.

@Karmazyn: If you like RTS games, very.

@xantufrog: They're excellent. If you don't have time to play everything, I'd jump right to 2; it's not dramatically different, just a more refined version with some new wrinkles (like sinking tanks and other units by destroying the ice they're on, which never gets old).

@xantufrog: Get it. I've only played the first, but it's quite good.

@torrne667: No it isnt. Because I already have all of it.... damn relic...

@torrne667: Wrong.... the star wars bundle a few months ago was friggin amazing ;)
