Our take on Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
The focus on army command and battlefield tactics leaves little room for character-driven storytelling or nonmilitary progression. Its scope is concentrated on two World War II campaigns and faction-based multiplayer rather than a broad range of scenarios.
What is Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts?
This real-time strategy game covers two World War II campaigns.
Players command the British 2nd Army during the liberation of Caen, France, or lead the German Panzer Elite against the Allied invasion in Operation Market Garden. Each army has its own command-tree choices and unit improvements. Missions include persistent battlefield changes, shifting weather, and vehicle tactics. Multiplayer combines this game with the original Company of Heroes to provide four online armies, including British, American, Wehrmacht, and Panzer Elite forces. The game also supports DirectX 10, with enhanced lighting and terrain detail.
