![]() If there was ever a problem with this game, it’s a very limited one… it’s too expensive.Īt $40 it is easily one of the most expensive expansions ever released. In another of the same map you might get tanks every 3 minutes while the enemy gets consistent tanks. One time you load up a map and it’s a tank graveyard in which you use the dead tanks to kill enemies. Every single level can spawn random objectives and random secondary objectives. Every single play of the campaign is going to be a unique experience played very differently. It’s something that all developers aim towards but few are able to accomplish. The most important aspect of this campaign is the actual dynamic elements. How you level with these RPG elements changes the course of battles. My favorite are the airborne units who when deployed can be given a free gun and an extra squad. However, these three companies can all level up and gain new abilities. However the size and scope is much smaller than any of these games. You get a campaign over map that may remind of you Total War, Wargame or World in Conflict. The campaign goal is to push the Nazis out of France. After this you play as three companies behind enemy lines that are trying to push back the Nazis. The Ardennes Assault begins with the retreat which is the only scripted event. Okay I’m done complaining I swear to God. I still find it questionable that they added a company from the campaign as DLC. There are a little over 100 battles in World War 2, winter is the only reason we have this one. So just to put this in perspective, main game takes place over four years, this campaign involves 30 days. The whole Battle of the Bulge stretches over the period of one month. Really the only reason we have this expansion is because Company of Heroes 2 is loaded full of winter terrain and probably could not cost effectively do any other battle. Winter invasions have a historically poor precedence, however this one having caught the allies by surprise was very successful. The Battle of the Bulge begins in the winter when the Nazis pull off a stunt no one expected, they attacked in the winter. I guess Company of Heroes 2: Battle of the Bulge just wasn’t as nice sounding. Okay, Ardennes Assault, also known as THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE. I’m getitng side-tracked again, this god damn review is about the Ardennes Assault! Adding in really powerful new factions adds a buy to win element to the game that no one should ever except. However the new factions should have been free. It’s worth noting that there are three other DLCs, of which two add new factions. Does it make up for the failure that was Company of Heroes 2? For anyone who still disagrees, consider the over exaggeration of Canadian and American forces in the war, and the focus on a very small segment of the Russian army’s effort.īut this is about the Ardennes Assault. To this day Relic has not issued any sort of apology for what is clear racism. The game often portrayed the Nazis as the victims and the Soviets as anti-human aggressors… despite them trying to liberate their own country from the Nazis. It was the first Company of Heroes game that wasn’t about heroes, but was instead focused on horrors of war. This was due to the implicit racism in the game. Russians turned on Metacritic and made consistent low ball scores to bring down it’s total rating. The game was also not without controversy. When it launched you only had two factions to choose from for multiplayer, super awesome Nazi death ball, or Soviets who run into bullets. But everyone knew Company of Heroes 2 had some serious problems with it. And when it came out, it was the biggest disappointment of the century.
