![]() ![]() Surprisingly, this worked, when in any other "real" gameplay situation, I was doing exactly the wrong thing. After a few attempts of dealing with the tank like a tactician, I just throw all of my units at the tank at once. Mines that heavily damaged tanks simply stun the Tiger, and carefully placed TNT charges that usually destroy nearby vehicles have a comically low effect. This encounter dominates half of a level, and the tank ignores the previous groundwork of the game. The game also often fails to explain itself very well, and it even pulls a bait-and-switch in terms of what it requires of you versus what it has previously instructed you to do.įor example, you'll learn that mines and AT weapons work well versus armor (or you may know from the original game), only to find that the title essentially drops a boss fight against you in the form of a Tiger tank. The first few levels of the campaign feel like plodding tutorials, with each level seemingly showcasing a gameplay feature that frankly doesn't require so much time. However, for all the efforts to make the plot interesting, the gameplay falls flat far too often. The interview gives the campaign a narrative, making the title less reliant upon generating one during the gameplay. The plot follows a Soviet officer as he is interviewed after the war's conclusion you play through his memories in the campaigns levels. The campaign centers squarely on the eastern front of World War II, starting with the Germans pushing back the Soviets and then chronicling their efforts to stop the German advance and push the fascists back to Berlin.

While this continues to be the case in the final version of the game, the same cannot be said for the woeful campaign mode. In the preview, we stated that, "fans of the original are likely not going to be disappointed," as the multiplayer side felt incredibly polished. ![]() Last month, we ran a preview of Company of Heroes 2, which was based on our time with the multiplayer-only beta of the game. ![]()
