The next chapter in the #1 rated RTS franchise thrusts players into a hellish war torn landscape to command two battle-hardened armies in relentless campaigns for honor and country. Players lead the tenacious British 2nd Army during the heroic World War II liberation of Caen, France, and command the German Panzer Elite as they struggle to repel the largest airborne invasion in history.

the end...

For someone thats never been a big fan of click fest RTS games, I am sure loving both World in Conflict, and CoH: Opposing Fronts... still fast paced, click fest...but manageable and fun. not to mention the audio and video are fantastic... still wish for a little more realism in the tactics and distance thou... tanks engaging each other 10 yards apart, not realistic or very tactical... but still fun, and GREAT MP modes.

Looks pretty sweet, but I'm still not sure if I'm going to get it in the near future.

I'd like to add they added 1 4v4 map, 2 3v3 maps, 3 2v2 maps and 4 1v1 maps in the expansion and adjusted a lot of the old maps. Semois has had the high munitions and the low fuel's switched.

Anyway, of the new maps, 3 of the new 1v1 maps I enjoy very much. 2 of the 2v2 maps are excellent, with the map named Wolfheze or something like that being without question the best 2v2 map I have yet seen for CoH. Wolf is essentially the exact opposite of the type of CoH map where you might have a 2v2 or a 3v3 going on, but in reality it's 2 1v1's or 3 1v1's going on at once.
