Company of Heroes uses the same engine as DoW and it's very similar. However I'd certainly say that CoH is better then DoW as it makes you focus more on tactics and such. It's a fantastic game and probably the best RTS I've ever played.
They both have the same style of weapons regardless of weither or not they are futuristic, but I believe the vehicles, the use of jump pods, and the Titan mode really does make 2142 worth more. It dosent have as many expansions, but that can be interpreted both ways, for or againsed.
Try the demos for each, I belive there are some, and decide for yourself.
