DOW was my favorite RTS until COH came out. I have to say although I own DOW and both expansion packs I think COH beats it hands down in most if not all aspects.

They're both made by Relic, so no matter who wins the poll... Relic wins.

CoH made me forget other games existed.

I have to admit, the graphics are on par with RL. So is the AI.

Sorry I enjoy them both equally. Both for the action, DoW for its personality, and CoH for its pretty explosions and sound effects.

I love both of these games. Relic is a legend when it comes to RTS games.
I like Company of Heroes a little more than Dawn of War though, so I vote that.
Can't wait for Opposing Fronts.

I liked CoH more. DoW felt extremely unbalanced. Im aware that they tweaked the balance up alot in future expansions, but the first one left me with a slightly sour taste in my mouth.

It's kind of hard to compare the two.While they're both RTS games they don't play the same. Tactics that work in CoH won't work in DoW. On the other hand Relic likes three word titles don't they? Hmm ... maybe their next game will be Dawn of Heroes: Orcs on the Eastern Front. :P

Dawn of War for me, it was the first RTS that showed more than 2 "swing" battle animations. The first time I saw the Guardians fight I was like "HELL YEAH!!" and then I saw some of the walkers interact with infantry units and it was over. I do love CoH however, it still stands as the only WWII themed game I actually like.

Dawn Of War + WA & DC for me. I don't like a lot the games ambiented in the WWII -except RTCW-, and even if the gameplay in CoH is more sophisticated and evolutinated than in DoW,He as less options/countries. I love mi Chaos squads in DoW and the flow of the game, with all theseinfrantry reinformements by fly; also, Panzer and Shermans are nothing compared to ride Defilers, Predators, etc..

It's true that CoH is much better balanced, but open your eyes guys: CoH has 2 bands and DoW 7, it's a hell to perfectly balance 7 razes in all of the Tiers and for all of the maps.

Awaiting for a DoW II with Tyranids, is all that I can say...

Homeworld 2!

It's a tough call really, but I enjoyed Company of Heroes more. Relic refined the Dawn of War formula and added more uses of cover and fully destructible environments, among many other things. The combat is just much more frenetic in Company of Heroes, your troops screaming while pinned by German infantry makes for some chilling and intense moments. Also, you gotta love the artillery backup.

A while back (before CoH) I picked up the Dawn of War gold pack edition (or whatever it's called - I don't have it here, letting my little brother borrow it), had the normal game plus the expansion in it. I played my way through the normal game and not once did it feel like it offered a challange - and I usually struggle to some extent with RTS games. I blew through the original game so fast that it bored me and I tried and tried to get into the expansion, but it was just as boring and just as easy.

I played CoH and I found the difficulty to be much more of a challange and I felt the game was much better overall. The AI is better, the objectives are more entertaining to obtain and hold, and so on and so on.

I vote CoH.

DOW was an amazing game and a radical depature. CoH was almost DoW 2 but a different theme, when you look at how you play the game consider just how similar it is and how comapny of heros is just an extension of DOW. i HAD to vote COH but when DOW 2 comes out it will own COH just as COH owned DOW. then the cycle will continue some more.

Considering I have a crappy PC that can run DOW (barely) and can't handle COH, I'll vote DOW for now.

Both games are incredible. If I HAD to pick though...

Dawn of War.

Company of Heroes is a great game, but World War 2 has been done so many times...
