    Good thing it add two new armies and a few maps as well as a way to get premium items you previously had to pay for.
    Bad things well, It suffers from some balance issues, and the design of USF is absolutely terrible. The new German army is much better though. Despite game having awesome map editor the devs only added a handful of new maps to ranked battes. Some more bugs after the    >GOOD<

    I would score it higher but it shares the issues of the base games such as selling units/abilities as DLCs, having too few maps in ranked automatch and lack of balance.

    Sadly to say this game has some major flaws whilst being a DLC it rewrites previous accomplishments thus removing precious content like skins, commanders, ect... Save files become corrupt ect as well, which is very unacceptable in this day and age....

    I would have liked to rate it higher, but this is as generous as i can possibly make it! I really hope the devs are willing to fix    Sadly to say this game has some major flaws whilst being a DLC it rewrites previous accomplishments thus removing precious content like skins, commanders, ect...

    I really hope the devs are willing to fix this mess really quickly......

    It's good that there is much in the way of DLC for COH2, however some of the optimizations that have been made to the "loot" or "reward" systems have essentially broken the game, you are no longer rewarded for doing certain tasks, instead you have a small random chance to receive items by the way of a war spoils feature. This feature has ruined the experience on the game for me as there isIt's good that there is much in the way of DLC for COH2, however some of the optimizations that have been made to the "loot" or "reward" systems have essentially broken the game, you are no longer rewarded for doing certain tasks, instead you have a small random chance to receive items by the way of a war spoils feature. This feature has ruined the experience on the game for me as there is no real reason to play past the campaign or on multiplayer other than braggin rights as to whom you have beaten > however if your playing against players who were maxed level with all unlocks for the original armies before war spoils was introduced you essentially have no chance. What once was a great franchise is slowly slipping down the drain due to poor product development management… Expand

    I miss some features from the first Company of Heroes, but I also feel that the game is now more realistic and mature. [Sept 2014, p.65]

    The game is a must-buy for a RTS fan. A pity that it's only focused on multiplayer. [Aug 2014]

    For the price of the DLC, fans of the original game or genre will surely get their money worth.
