Eldon from Denkiphile: "The Company of Heroes franchise holds a very special place in my heart. Back when World War 2 first-person shooters flooded the market, the only thing I played at the time was Counter-Strike 1.6, Warcraft 3, and Call of Duty 2, so the concept of a World War 2 RTS was mindblowing for me. I ended up dumping countless hours into the first Company of Heroes, and all I did was play the single-player campaign and matches against the AI where I would play maps with chokepoints and spam defenses and artillery. Keep in mind this was all done while using a computer that required me to turn down specific settings in the user configuration file for Counter-Strike: Source. Playing Company of Heroes 2 brought back fond memories of my 13 year old self who spent an eternity immersed in the gameplay of Company of Heroes."
The Humble Company of Heroes Complete Bundle just launched. It includes Company of Heroes, Company of Heroes 2, Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor, and more.
