Company of Heroes - Medraut - 01-04-2010
Anyone else have it?
Currently there's 3 games out, orginial CoH, CoH: Opposing Frontsm, and CoH: Something of Valor
All 3 are standalone expansions meaning you can still play with only 1 game just against only other people with just that 1 game.
I still only have the original and just reinstalled it after noticing the game box sitting in my room lol, was curious if anyone else has it.

That`s actually not correct. Only Tales of Valor is standalone. Opposing Fronts is a regular expansion pack and requires you to have the original.
I own Tales of Valor and have ocassionally played it with a friend. It`s not too bad, although I absolutely hate how multiplayer games tend to drag on forever. I think I have been spoiled by StarCraft`s generally fast pace.

Quote:Opposing Fronts is more of a pseudosequel than an expansion pack. You don't need the original Company of Heroes to play it, though if you do you'll be able to select from the US Army and regular German Army factions from that game in skirmish matches. Otherwise, you'll be restricted to the two new factions introduced in Opposing Fronts: the British Army and the German Panzer Elite.

I see. My apologies, then. That`s an awfully akward approach, though. Would have been better if they just made it a regular expansion.
