I am thinking of getting Company of Heroes, but now that Opposing Fronts have been released, I don't know what to buy. At first I thought it was merely an expansion, but it appears to be a sequel. The Original Company of Heroes have a higher rating, but does Opposing Fronts not contain everything from CoH Original plus alot more? Please suggest what I should buy, please I'd would like to hear suggestions from people with knowledge on the subject. Thanks :)

Opposing Fronts is an expansion pack, you can play it like a stand alone game but its better loaded ontop of the original CoH. The sides in Opposing Fronts are quite complex, you would probably find it much easier playing the original first.

Just thought I'd throw this in here as well. If you just get CoH Opposing Fronts it will play just fine, however you will not have access to the American/Wermacht armies from the original CoH. If I'm mistaken someone correct me. Other than that it's your choice which one to buy, but I would suggest getting the original one first then Opposing Fronts imho.

Get the original, OF still needs about 2 months work of patches and balancing. So in 2 months you can pick that up for cheap.

What he said. Plus, the armies are pretty advanced. You should play the original first anyway. its a fantastic game.
