CCC says: "When Company of Heroes 2 was still under the auspices of THQ, they invited me out to California to spend some time with Relic’s latest World War II RTS game. At the time, their focus was very much on the title’s multiplayer, which we spent most of our time playing, the guests fighting one another in pitched 1v1 and 2v2 battles. The only representation of the single-player experience on offer was a brief foray into skirmish mode, which is effectively multiplayer with bots (though this map was specifically structured to force us to be aggressive)."
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.
