About Company of Heroes 2 - The British Forces

✦ AI summary

Command the British Army in this standalone World War II RTS where you balance mobility and defense through a unique tech tree featuring distinctive units like the Churchill Crocodile and RAF gliders. Fight across eight new maps with enhanced motion-captured animations and colorful voice acting that brings Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and English soldiers to life.

Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces is the new standalone multiplayer release in this esteemed World War II RTS franchise. It is the perfect entry point into the vibrant Company of Heroes 2 community. By buying The British Forces, players who do not yet own any COH2 product can access all existing Company of Heroes 2 maps in auto-match, and play against all other existing factions in multiplayer or through skirmishes against the AI.

Play as the unconquerable Britons and their motley-crew of soldiers! A force remarkable for its diversity, including Englishmen, Scotsmen, Welshmen, Irishmen – representing everyone from the working classes to the upper class elite of the United Kingdom. Under the leadership of the fiery Sir Winston Churchill, this assorted mix put aside their differences and became the only remaining Western European nation to escape the grip of Axis-dominated Europe, before leading the final offensive with the other Allied Forces.

The British Army features a brand new set of distinctive tactical gameplay options articulated around a new tech tree including new infantry, team weapons, vehicles, upgrades, commanders with unique abilities and a total of eight new multiplayer maps portraying historic battlefield locations. Battles reach an unprecedented level of authenticity with the addition of motion-captured data for the most common animation sets, which will also enhance all the previously released Company of Heroes 2 armies. By introducing a new faction with a unique playstyle, The British Forces further reinforces Company of Heroes 2 as the most comprehensive World War II platform for RTS fans.

[h1]Company of Heroes 2 - The British Forces[/h1] [h3]Great Army Expansion that finally gives the British a Place in the CoH Saga[/h3] [h3]Worth trying![/h3] The United Kingdom Forces is one of the finest addition to this game, this army has the most comfortable and solid early game from all factions, in my opinion. It is an army that doesn’t require constructing buildings to tech up and instead can start the game by capturing territory quickly. The British Infantry Sections can hold their ground well against other line infantry such as Volksgrenadiers and Grenadiers, as long as they maintain medium or heavy cover. This unit is very versatile, but like American units, they need several upgrades to keep up with better-equipped infantry units in the late game. As for vehicles, they have an acceptable variety of light and heavy armored forces, which stand out more for their mobility and speed than for their damage, turning them into effective units for hunting slower armored targets or to pursue enemy vehicles that are trying to escape. The British Forces are now a more reliable and much stronger army than in the previous game. They have access to units and vehicles with roles simil…

Segas obsession with gouging fans with DLC aside- It's a decent faction pack. Like the last game's Brit faction they're pretty defence heavy and are more about being the slow and steady companion to the fast and versatile American faction. They have interesting mechanical gimmicks that meaningfully make them more than a funny accented non-nazi version of the Wermacht. But no campaign, no special missions, no challenges? You're taking the piss. Get on deep sale if you really want it.

Probably my fav faction in COH2. I've always enjoyed slower, defensive oriented factions even if I hate defense missions in games. Well luckily for me there are no missions here! JUST the faction itself. Ahahaha...ha...ha... +The British, just like COH1, are a slow and defense oriented faction. As you'd expect they obviously have their own commanders and vehicles from the Churchill to the Bren Carrier (which you can upgrade with a flamethrower!) similarly to the Americans your base has two small weapon depot-thingies where you can spend some munitions to equip your units with either a Bren or a PIAT compared to the vanilla factions like the Soviets and the Germans where you need to click on the unit and then click on an upgrade button and choose what extra weaponry to give them, if any. +Additional extra point for the emplacements your units can build. Trenches, mortar pits (which can be upgraded with a 2nd mortar), 17 pounder... God I love building ♥♥♥♥. -No full lenght campaing for the British. Not even a mission pack...? Just the faction is all you get. I loved the Brits in COH1, I love em here too. Glider dropping behind the enemy, my beloved suicide tactic.

It constantly happens to me that the balance in the game is not correct, this is an example. You don't play like that and you waste time for fun. Above all, the game is for fun, not for wasting time.
