Only subtle changes are present from the base game, excluding the US Army, which has been more openly changed. To gain access to better units and abilities as the battlespace demands the commitment of more combat assets, there are two paths, base building and the selecting of a doctrine of the player’s choice, but for now we will focus on base development.īase building is done through constructing structures (henceforth to be used interchangeably with buildings, shacks, barracks, unit factory, troop portals, etc.) with your engineers, which you’ll start the game with and get more of from the headquarters building. In Blitzkrieg as in the original Company of Heroes the player is responsible for leading a company-sized unit in combat on the Western Front as an Allied or German player. The Armies: Faction Structures and Doctrines This mod review will oversee the gameplay of the mod with a focus on the influence of new features, and compare it with the gameplay of vanilla Company of Heroes. Featuring new units, skins, abilities, damage and protection values, sound effects, a present total of 32 community maps in addition to the vanilla, and a host of other deliberately and systematically improved aspects, Blitzkrieg does a great job of and adding realism and by extension immersion to the already praised Company of Heroes experience. While there are dramatic changes here to everything from units to maps, this is still based on the original Company of Heroes, so this won’t be a direct substitute for CoH2, especially in terms of things like the new advanced weather systems.Blitzkrieg is a complete realism overhaul mod for the classic 2006 RTS wargame Company of Heroes.


Not For Those Who Want: All the improvements we’re going to see in Company of Heroes 2.

It’s also a totally free way to play as the Soviets in the Company of Heroes games, for cheapskates who don’t want to pay for Company of Heroes 2. Company of Heroes 2 fixes this, but…it’s not as good a game as the original, so you should download this mod, which not only adds new units, but goes all out to make it an authentic Soviet experience.Ī Good Match For: Those a little tired of the existing factions in the game and after a new challenge, a new experience. The original Company of Heroes shipped with only three real sides: Germans, Americans and, later, the British. It was tough choosing between this and Modern Combat, but in the end I had to settle for Eastern Front.
