Based on the Essence Engine 3.0, the Company of Heroes 2 series features some unique mechanics that reward discerning gamers. From the TrueSight ™ system that mimics the line of sight of units to the cover system that encourages intelligent placement of units, not to mention the combined approach of the arms and hard and soft gameplay that will have you thinking twice before trying to destroy a tank with a simple squad of gunners – each game offers players a continuous stream of meaningful tactical choices that can turn the tide of war.

Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies adds two new Western Front factions to the list of playable multiplayer armies: Oberkommando West (OKW) and United States Forces (USF). While the former puts you in command of an aggressive and powerful army with highly specialized and elite units – albeit very limited in number – the latter introduces an expeditionary force that allows for a variety of approaches and combined arms tactics very powerful, but inevitably fails a bit in the heavy armor department.
