Company of Heroes 2 - The Western Front Armies

By buying TWFA or the OKW / USF army individually, 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.
Each army has distinctive tactical gameplay options, new infantry, team weapons, vehicles, abilities and upgrades on a total of eight seasonal multiplayer maps set on the Western Front.

  • While the inclusion of paratroopers and para-dropped items—that can be deployed anywhere on the map—are the most obvious new feature via specific US Commanders, there’s also a balanced emphasis on regular infantry and armour, too.

  • PC PowerPlay

    An excellent expansion for an already excellent RTS. [Aug 2014, p.56]

  • Pelit (Finland)

    The game is a must-buy for a RTS fan. A pity that it's only focused on multiplayer. [Aug 2014]

  • Newcomers to the genre or the series should pick up the core Company of Heroes 2 at first, to get themselves familiarized with the series and its ideas, and then make the jump to The Western Front Armies in order to experience more varied matches.

  • The Company of Heroes 2: Western Front Armies DLC is a nice addition to a strategy game that was already pretty darn good to start with. While the cost might be a bit steep for those of us who already own the game, it’s almost a no-brainer for folks who want to see what all the fuss is about without breaking the bank.

  • Great entry point to a rich RTS...if you can master it.

  • Quotation Forthcoming

  • Insufficient expansion for the regulars of the title, but an excellent choice for those who want to initiate in it. We were looking forward to much more.

  • For the price of the DLC, fans of the original game or genre will surely get their money worth.

  • If you’ve been looking to get in on Company of Heroes, then this is the place to do it.

  • CD-Action

    I miss some features from the first Company of Heroes, but I also feel that the game is now more realistic and mature. [Sept 2014, p.65]

  • If you’ve never played Company of Heroes 2 and are interested in the RTS genre, buy this. If you already own CoH2, then at $19.99 this expansion may be a little pricey, though those who loved the base game will lap up the versatility of the new armies and the exhilarating wars that can be waged in the added maps.

  • The fact that this is a standalone expansion really sweetens the deal. If you'd like to pick up just one of the new factions, that'll only run you £10, and with that you can start playing one of the best World War 2 strategy games ever made... alongside its near-perfect predecessor, of course.

  • While issues of army balance will inevitably rear their head down the line, it's a smart concept that gets off to a good start with The Western Front Armies. If you're yet to try out Company of Heroes, which is one of the best multiplayer RTS experiences currently available, this is a great opportunity to do so. Just bear in mind that aside from skirmishes you won't get any singleplayer options.

  • This is Company of Heroes 2 at its best, a standalone that focuses on the series’ core: man and machine duking it out across Europe. Those seeking a narrative will find plenty of stories in the tense battles amid crumbling towns and dark forests, so the campaign isn’t missed at all

  • The new fractions and maps play well and distinguish themselves from the pack, while complementing quite well what's already there.

  • There is no doubt that this expansion offers some great value to newcomers, offering them the whole Company of Heroes 2 multiplayer component for as little as $12.99. For those who already own the game, the new factions and maps will offer differentiation, but not a great deal of value.

  • This stand-alone expansion will probably satisfy all those CoH fans that were disappointed by the second game.

  • Based on solid Company of Heroes 2 they created a purely multiplayer expansion pack that perfectly completes the original game bringing two new ways to play it right away, and it will not even cost you.

  • A shot of adrenaline for the year-old game, these new armies bring the best parts of Company of Heroes into the upgraded Company of Heroes 2 world.

  • It's an interesting DLC, and the new base building will undoubtedly shift the balances of multiplayer. Still, all thing considered, a single player expansion to beef up the package would've been much appreciated.

  • The lack of single player content could be a problem for some, but if you're happy with two new armies for multiplayer matches, then it's probably worth your time.

  • The Western Front Armies is a good expansion and an interesting starting point for new players.

  • The Western Front Armies is a solid expansion dedicated to the fans of the multiplayer mode from Company of Heroes 2.

  • The Western front Armies will attract your interest only if you are fan of Company of Heroes 2's multiplayer side.

  • It is too bad the multiplayer of this game only consists out of 8 new maps, because Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies is really good with an unpredictable multiplayer experience and nice tactical possibilities.

  • Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies is a great deal for newcomers, who can buy, for 20 euros, a deep RTS online. Existing players will have a solid DLC, but a worse deal.

  • games(TM)

    It may lack an ambitious single-player campaign but this value for money proposition serves to highlight that sometimes less really can be more. [Sept 2014, p.98]

  • The new armies are unique and fun to use, and the extra maps seem well balanced, but if you are looking for new single player content or for something to get introduced to the world of Company of Heroes 2, you will find this here. This expansion is recommended only to the experienced players.
