If fun is what you want, that's what you get on this expansion- right out of the gate, you'll note that getting into a firefight with your squads actually means something now and quickly. Whereas before, units would shoot at each other for several seconds and casualties would eventually ensue, I was suprised to see half of one of my squads on the ground within a second or two of the bullets flying. I also enjoy being able to pick how to arm my squads, now meaning fuel is not the only vital capture point, but the other supply point (whose name escapes me, which is shameful as I've got a gazillion hours on this game) becomes critical to get bazookas or light machine guns to your squads- improved effects and art too-- and I felt the AI was improved as well as I usually play multiplayer only- but thought to wade in this time and play the computer a few rounds and set on Hard, it put out a pretty decent challenge. The only gripe I would have is that they still have the Russian Choral "Yay us comrade" thing singing in the background occasionally when you do something good... As the Americans. Only happened occasionally and really didn't matter overall- I've played the hell out of Company of Heroes One and now Two and this expansion is well worth it- Good job Relic!
