Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts Review (continued)
More User Submitted Company Of Heroes: Opposing Fronts Reviews

Loved COH, Hate Opposing Fronts... So far.
In my oppinion the original Company of heroes is one of the best games ever. I was really excited to get the expention... first of all, let me just say that I've been installing and patching for 2 hours and I'm writhing this review without playing the game. ... So far, it uninstalled the original game, and installed itself (45 minutes)... you can't play the game without being online. You have to crate an accout, and install EVERY PATCH they have. That's not an OPTION... after a long download, it takes a long time to update. Then you turn on the game with hope to play the game BUT there is another patch... and there is another... Nowhere in the min specs does it say you NEED to have internet! Internet connection is under Recommended Spec. YOU CAN'T PLAY THE GAME.

Extremely user UNfriendly game
I really enjoyed the first of this series but I must say that the online platform is ruining this game entirely for me. After a long install, tha game refuses to start unless you download a huge file, patch, create an account on their platform and wait for access to a server.
But the worst part comes next: when you launch the game the second time - it offers you to replay the first game of the series but asks that you re-buy the game ?!? And customer support is nowhere to be found.
Until the publisher refocuses on providing entertainment rather than forcing buyers into its additional web services, stay away from this.

Fun, Fun, Fun!
Yes, there are a couple of bugs still crashing the games here and there but that is the exception no the rule. This game plays well 98% of the time; at least on my end. I can't stop playing it. Buy this one and the original; you won't regret it. The atmospheric effects are worth every penny not to mention the new units and maps. CoH and CoH : Opposing Fronts are the best strategy games I have played so far. You won't be able to put them down.

worst game I have ever played
I am a big fan of COH. After saw some negative reviews, I hesitated to buy this. After a few weeks, couldn't resist and made the purchase.
After a few weeks play I have to say it's the worst game experience ever.
The installation went OK, no problem. It's the game play part. The game constantly hung and crash. It normally starts fine, after a few minutes some times 20 minutes playing, it just freezes up.
I tried many things, upgrading driver, reinstall, etc, no help. Trying to send emails to THQ, no response.
Don't buy this game unless you want try your luck.
Update on 02/15/2008
After many email, finally got response from THQ, they basically saying I need unload all non-ms services. So I tried and no surprise game still hangs. And I sent them all my dxdiag info per their request. That was three weeks ago. So far no response. And my game still hangs. I played COD4, BioShock, HL2 on this pc with no problem. So it's unlikely hardware problem.
And today I uninstalled this P*S from my PC, bye-bye! No more COH series.
I spent $40 for two months trouble. Well guess lesson learned.

Great game
I just finished a two hour long session vs. two different enemies and had no problems whatsoever. The British side is a lot of fun to play. I haven't tried the new German sides. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because they still won't let you play allies vs. allies or axis vs. axis. It's a nitpick, but something I'd wanted.
