It takes the WWII setting and applies it to the kinds of game-related stuff we want to see and do. It’s a game about superior use of tactics and terrain, not overwhelming firepower. In short, it’s an excellent strategy game.
Company of Heroes seizes the bloated WWII genre by its tail and wags until years of excess bunkum sloughs off -- what's left is lean, mean, and a triumph for company-level tactics. The more you dig in, the more it gives back, and the less you care that it's another bout of Allied vs. Axis action.

The learning curve in this title may put some people off, certainly later in the missions, but there is enough to make the game enjoyable to green strategists while the veterans will find these same late missions give them something to think about.
Simply an awesome game that really takes the WWII RTS to a new standard. Just make sure you have a nice machine to run the game.
With all the World War II games out there, it is hard to stand apart from the crowd and make a game that people will notice, play and talk to their friends about. Company of Heroes is one of those rare treasures.
Company of Heroes reinvigorates the sub-genre of the World War II real-time strategy game, and its confidence in its own excellence is aptly demonstrated in the very first few minutes of play.
Not surprisingly, some liberties were taken to reconcile logistics with gameplay. Call in the airborne and your paratroopers arrive immediately, with no need to plan the air drop in advance. But that is where the suspension of disbelief ends.
artificial intelligence is completely broken. especially on maps with bridges. It is also broken on maps without a bridge. He can't get out of his territory. In artificial intelligence, all maps and all units are clear and visible. it knows the location of all your units. difficult artificial intelligence earns extra points. so it's a stupid game. also how not to russia? wtf

Malgré le temps qui passe, la Compagnie des Héros est resté tout-à-fait présentable et souvent spectaculaire... ce n'est pas le plus beau des STR mais il reste incontestablement bien fait (en dépit de textures très... vieillissantes) avec en prime une VF agréable et une ambiance qui vous replonge dans l'enfer du débarquement, puis de la bataille de Normandie...
En outre, son interface est dans l'ensemble assez claire... mais montre néanmoins ses limites lorsque c'est un peu (trop) le bordel. Son plus gros problème réside dans ses pics de difficulté assez incompréhensibles... c'est parfois une promenade de santé et l'instant d'après un putain d'enfer extrêmement laborieux... et pénible !
Notamment, cette mission où l'on a en tout et pour tout que 3 ou 4 blindés (et il faudra faire avec puisqu'on ne peut pas en fabriquer ni en faire venir en renfort) et juste une caserne pour fabriquer de la chair à canon... et c'est tout !
Pendant ce temps, l'ennemi ne cesse d'envoyer des troupes et des panzers dans tous les sens... et même en capturant des "****" etc, les ressources manquent encore beaucoup trop... bref, c'est du foutage de gueule ! quel dommage, car je trouvais ça assez amusant... mais ils ont décidément tout gâché, ces connards ! rompez, demi-tour gauche, direction la poubelle, en avant... marche !

As I stated in my Company of Heroes 2 this eschews good RTS for gratifying the Idiocracy wave of gamers. Getting rid of real resource management makes the game more similar to Men of War; except CoH (both of them) **** compared to MoW at the tactical level. The complete lack of realism in the game also is a buzzkiller for any WW2 fan. Had they done something similar to their Dawn of War RTS games (not that DoW RPG wannabe RTS crap=DoW2) then this might have been a decent series. This game is best left to the insta-gratification console generation. More and more games have been getting dumbed down and require little brains, this series is an example of that. There are far better games out there that require much more intelligence and provide real gameplay. I'm afraid with this game all hope is lost for real RTS games made for adults instead of teenagers.
