Totally Breathtaking, best RTS ever played.
The Gameplay:
Company of heroes sees the German Nazi Party (Axis) take on the good ol' US Of A (allies). In the campaign mode you re-live some of the most historic and bloodiest battles of all time, in true RTS style having full control over your troops and vehicles. One thing about COH that sets it apart is the fight for resources. There are 3 resources in the game
Manpower
Fuel
Munitions
Manpower is needed for almost everything from building and spawning troops.
Fuel is needed to build buildings that involved making vehicles, such as large "garages" that build tanks and other vehicles.
Munitions is needed for giving your troops and vehicles upgrades, such as giving your troops hand grenades and your halftrack a flame-thrower.
Views: COH allows you to view the battlefield from an isometric angle by default, however by holding ALT you can zoom right in and change the angle so its almost 3rd person, so close you can see the sweat on your soldiers faces.
Multiplayer:
Multiplayer could be better in COH, you tend to find the games are very unbalanced and unbearable lag occurs. Veteran players of the games also seem to make it very hard for new players to get some experience as "n00bs" are kicked from some servers.
Conclusion:
COH is one of the best games of the year, but can be quite tricky. If you are a big RTS fan then you will love this, if you are new like me, its very hard to get into.
