    Disappointing for the an expensive expansion. The new missions are over quickly and the change to the multiplayer is minimal. Directfire is pretty much useless. As a fan of COH this is a disappointing addition. New units is good but not for the price of this expansion, at this price it should have been a lot more much like opposing fronts was. Worth $15, paid $50 - can I have a refund!

    Yet another poor expansion for what used to be a good game. The single player is ridiculously short for the price and doesn't feel at all like CoH should. The new game modes are all terrible and not at all in the spirit of CoH. Why they decided we need a very poor DotA clone in CoH is probably best left unknown.

This game is honestly not even worth the £2.49 they're currently asking for it on steam. The only good thing i can say is that it gives you access to all the sides in multiplayer if you're a masochist and enjoy playing extremely frustrating games.… Expand

    A massive disappointment and very poor value for money if like me u like to play single player,should have been in £10 price range. Never play on-line so don't know if that side of it is any good or not.
    It has one or two interesting ideas but not much more than that,should have read the review before buying..

    This is a tease - just a bunch of ideas the devs had kept on the back burner and then only 9 easy single player missions which were a confused mish-mash of the two other games in this series. We don't all want to play online - and even if you do want to dabble it needed a patch to do so.. More disappointment from the PC games industry.

    i totally disagree that players with previeous coh
    play the same server with those who bought
    expansion. if we don't buy expansion we must get disadvantage? its like having no medic or lurker in sc. playing original sc mixed up with broodwar players. now i don't want to pay 30 dollar for few more units and i get disadvantage huh. don't have our own server. so i    i totally disagree that players with previeous coh

    Not bad but...
    Direct control is pointless, it's basically just a attack here button similar to attack ground.
    The new modes are pointless also as there are already mods for both of them (Alamo and Turtle) that were made months ago, way to be 'original' Relic The new units make no sense... nuff said It's definatly no Opposing Fronts Basically don't buy it.    Not bad but...

    Basically don't buy it. $30 for this is a total ripoff. It's nice they make standalones, but they should make a cheaper addon version as well.    … Expand

    Agree with the other reviewers: this game is very short on content for the single player. The only redeeming feature of the purchase so far is the difficult first mission in the last 'campaign' (as yet unfinished). The other missions (played 6 so far) are very easy and very short.

    As I die hard fan of CoH vanilla I cannot surmise my disappointment in any better word than - crap! The game adds little if nothing to the multiplayer dynamics, a series of bugs several years old remain unresolved, the few new skins to a couple of units are not worth the 35 euro this game runs for.

    I feel robbed, no way is this worth the price, cant even use direct fire in 1v1, maybe worth a £5 but its just a few extra bits. last about 4hrs campaign wise... DO NOT BUY if u have the others... robbed robbed robbed.

    This feels more like $5-$10 DLC than a full-blown expansion pack. It doesn't really seem fair that non-ToV users don't get to take advantage of the new units, especially considering how powerful some of them are, compared to the counterparts they replace.

    The multiplayer game is very based on rank teams are always not balanced. the natzi side in this game have more powerful and cheaper army then the Allies. The rank not always show correct in lobby so somthimes you can't know the other player rank and many lags are presence in multiplayer

    One of the WORST!!! Games i have ever played... just a bad camera position, far too close to get a good overview, especially because you have to micro your soldiers all the time!! all of your units... they get nothing done and often do things first after the 3rd or 4th direction. They are unable to find the shortest way and some times just run in with enemy fire instead of attacking, veryOne of the WORST!!!

    It is war on a personal level - instead of entire units, battles are fought by carefully selected small groups of individuals. It would be possible to come to know each of them, were it not for the short span of this standalone expansion. [May 2009]

    It just doesn't hang together as a coherent package in its own right, and while the gameplay certainly doesn't sully the memory of the original, the thin spread of content is cause for concern.

    Gamers who spend the majority of their time in single-player modes should pass this one by. If you’re an online-focused player, though, Tales of Valor provides hours of amusement, especially if the community takes advantage of the excellent mod tools to flesh out the map selection.
