I never could get into WWII games, but company of heroes is awsome. I love the fact the AI allows your troops to seek cover under fire and troop movements are tactical.
The Best Game Ever

Company of Heroes is a great WWII game where you play as the American Army in Europe in 1944-45. Unlike other RTS games, you don't quickly build up a base and attack your enemy with overwhelming force. Instead you slowly build up an army while capturing and holding certain resource points. These points give you things you need to build up a large army such as fuel and ammo.
The game has a tutorial, but I learned to play it by just trial and error. (the tutorial takes to long) The first leval is OMAHA beach, where you move your squads up and take out German bunkers. (Kind of like the opening scene in SAVING PRIVATE RYAN) You then lead armies all across Europe to victory. Each leval requires a different strategy. Some you have to advance and retreat to weaken the enemy. Some you have to cut off supply lines and hold towns. Some you just have to do a massive attack.
Company of Heroes is a very good game and I hope you enjoy it.
One of the best.

The original COH was great, until this "expansion" comes out. Opposing Fronts is extremely buggy. The game freezes all the time. Worse, after you kill the frozen game, it won't recognize your DVD any more. So, you have to reinstall it. Worse yet, the updates cannot be downloaded into your hard drive, so you will have to wait for the 200MB download every time you do the reinstallation. If you think this is frustrating enough, you have not seen half of it yet. The Panzer Elite faction in this expansion was made super strong, as in the super human sense. Even a newbie playing Panzer Elite can easily, and I mean easily, defeat a veteran of the original game. I suppose the vendor wants to make sure you buy the new package instead of staying with the old COH. To make sure you absolutely do not have that option, they also force you to play against Panzer Elite in multiplayer setting. There is no way to opt out!
And to add insult to injury, they sell the expansion pack as a "stand-alone", i.e. full price. After I bite the bullet and pay up, I realize that I still cannot get the great gaming experience back because everyone else in the multiplayer lobby wants to play Panzer Elte, and two such players cannot play against each other. So, I either have to join the other 17 players in waiting for a clueless cannon fodder to come along, or I have to be that cannon fodder. Either way, it is no fun.
Movie rate strategy game that revolutionize the genre

I agree with most everything folks have said about this game -- you can only play Allied in campaign game and not having an axis option is disappointing. Once you play campaign game, the skirmish mode is fun to but you can easily beat the AI.
Now go multiplayer. The Relic servers are located on the moon and my performance bar indicator never got above one out of five bars (Columbus, Ohio here). Next, you have the option of connecting to an existing game or Play Now automatch function where the system matches you up to another player or team. Connecting to an existing game results in a "Cannot connect with other players" error about 75% of the time. I know, check the forum boards to find out system problems...open ports, firewalls, blah, blah, blah. I've played dozens of online games with and without firewalls and routers and the bottom line is the good games don't give you such grief. Automatch function is poorly designed and you end up waiting five minutes or more to actually get a match. Then, when you're in a match, the game keeps track of your stats..a nice feature, right? WRONG! Whenever your opponent leaves abruptly, they get a loss and you get locked up. If you leave, YOU get the loss. I've played about 40 matches, won 6 and lost the rest, mostly because people bail just before they lose completely. If you buy this expecting decent online play, SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Not an FPS

This game is not an FPS, but if you can't even read a game's box description, you probably won't read this review. Yes, of course you can save your game at any point.
Relic seems to be on a roll since Homeworld.
Awesome!

I can't really say much else than what has already been stated.
However, even if you are not a fan of RTS you will enjoy this game.
Also, don't be afraid of the system requirements. I have a 2.4GHZ 1G ram and a ATI9600Pro and I was able to play smoothly albeit sacrificing some settings. The game still looked awesome to me.
Enjoy.
Top notch, very demanding on graphics and CPU

Very realistic strategy game. But you need a good PC or don't use
too high a setting. I am playing it everyday. AI is very challenging
at expert level, I am still trying to finish that. I haven't tried online
multiplayer mode yet, AI is keeping my hands full.
Too enjoy it at max resolution and highest setting, you need the latest
and greatest gaming rig.
I am playing on a Dell Inspiron 1705 with Core 2 Duo 2 Ghz and 256MB
7900GS and 1GB 667Mhz mem, I am not on high setting.
