Great game, Great expansion
I guess I was one of those lucky ones that did not have a trouble installing the game. I installed the original CoH game, decided to install this expansion without applying the 1.1GB patch for the original game because I assumed this game will install whatever it is trying to install (I think it's patch for the multiplayer functions such as the interface and other stuff, but I could be wrong). I worked for me just fine, I got the original CoH story mode along with the 2 new story mode for British company and Panzer Elite company. And the updates for CoH:OP isn't big of files, nor time-wasting as the original CoH.
Anyways, the expansion is great. The each story line is shorter than the original CoH, but it's 18-22 (I forgot the specific number) missions which is more than the first one. Playing as different companies gives this sense that it's a different game, which is great. This enhances the multiplayer experience as you can choose from 4 different companies that suits your fighting style best.
Buyers who has played the original company of heroes has to be careful though; the specification for your machine has to be higher to play this expansion and new armies.
It is really great game, and highly addictive as well. Competing against other player online is probably the best thing for this game, as every time you play you get a different result. If you find the AIs to be repetitive, just go online! It's just never the same! I really recommend this series of game.

COH: OF Review
Unlike many expansion packs Opposing Fronts offers new challenges to overcome, not just more of the original. The AI is quite smart, which makes the gameplay much smoother and more enjoyable. No units getting stuck trying to go through tight areas etc. Plus the enemy, is knowledgeable and will try to out think you which adds a whole new level to this RTS. All in all Opposing Fronts offers a challenging experience that provides hours of fun in a smooth, realistic and good graphic package. I strongly recommend this game if you are into the real time strategy type.

Great buy and worth the price
This is an overall great RTS. Have up to three seperate storys (if you have original CoH) that will keep you playing for hours on end.

If you EVER get the game installed and running ...
I thought Company of Heroes was difficult to install but CoH:Opposing Force takes things to a whole new level. How about an expansion that requires you to uninstall the original game but does not tell you that? Installation instructions that ignore known issues? Hours of mandatory patching after installation? One of the least helpful technical support pages on the internet? There's more, much more. You may NEVER get this game running. All this from a game that has been out for over a year?
When/if you can get CoH:OF installed and running, you have a very good expansion to a superb game. My only quibble is that the King Tigers in the last couple English missions were so very overpowered and nearly invulnerable at normal difficulty that I hesitate to replay that campaign on hard. The KTs required exquisite micromanagement of forces to whittle them down and because there is action in other areas at the same time, I found myself pausing every second or two to adjust units. To me those missions just weren't fun.
THQ will be releasing another expansion, Tales of Valor, soon. My advice--take an initial pass on it until reviews make it clear whether THQ has gotten their installation issues resolved. If you choose to ignore the many angry reviewers and buy OF or ToV, don't say you weren't warned.

it's a good game, if you can play more than 2 armies it would be even more fun
