Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts (Review)

Sep 28, 2007

Sept 28, 2007 Company of Heroes was one of those games that utterly exceeded our expectations. Not only did it manage to recreate the visceral brutality of warfare, it also succeeded in striking that ever-elusive balance between accessibility and strategy. Opposing Fronts introduces two new factions into the WWII meat grinder, each starring in its own campaign. First up are the plucky Brits, a defensively stout faction specialising in anti-tank weapons and artillery, and possessing some of ...

Playing with Nazis (Preview)

Jul 23, 2007

History is written by the winners, and in some ways, it looks like games are too.

We knew last years Company of Heroes was going to be good, but we didnt expect, come the review, to be playing the best RTS that year. Somewhere in between defending ...

Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts (Preview)

May 23, 2007

While Relics experience from previously successful titles such as Homeworld 2 and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War has undoubtedly helped, theyre still competing in a pretty crowded field. Its something that the developers are keenly aware of. “On Company of Heroes, we really wanted to reinvigorate the RTS genre,” says lead designer Josh Mosqueira. ...

THQ confirm Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts (News)

Apr 10, 2007

Play.tm speculated over a week ago now that THQ and Relic were plotting a follow-up to the genre-refreshing WWII real-time strategy title Company of Heroes, and now the publisher has revealed that this is most assuredly the case. Hurrah!

A stand-alone follow-up called Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is on the agenda, though the publisher seem to be shying away from describing the game as number '2' at the moment. As well as lashings of new Company of Heroes gameplay, we're informed that the game engine has been updated to make good use of DirectX 10.
