You will be controlling three different companies, that you pick before starting your campaign, comprising of either Mechanized, Support, Airborne or Rangers (free if you pre-order). Now it might look like the campaign map is just a fancy way for you to jumble around the order of the missions and scenarios you will be playing, but there are just so many factors that are going to impact your decision that makes such an assumption erroneous. To see if you can make better decisions than Erwin Rommel or, I suppose in this US only campaign, George S. A part of what makes strategy games like the Total Wars and the oft forgotten campaign mode of the Wargame series popular is the ability for the player to write their own version of history. And that isn’t a put-down on Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault. That’s right, there is now a campaign map where you are in charge of what happens next, not a predetermined list of scenarios or something as irritating as history. If you were picturing a campaign not too dissimilar to the default Company of Heroes 2 campaign where you followed a linear historical, although not necessarily factual, story and played scenario after scenario that was just given to you, then you will be pleasantly surprised to find that Relic Entertainment has made the campaign “dynamic.” However, once you decide to take the plunge, you will find that the game isn’t quite the way you had imagined. In Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault, you will be playing through a campaign that is set in the midst of the Battle of the Bulge, one of the defining battles of World War 2.Ī fair amount of skepticism will be initially had with Ardennes Assault, especially when one looks at the hefty starting price of $39.99. Which is kind of weird, because whenever anyone thinks about games with good replay value, they instinctively think to games with fun, multiplayer experiences and not a completely singleplayer (so no multiplayer or co-op at all) campaign, which is what Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault is. One of the key things that Relic Entertainment and SEGA has been trumpeting about this upcoming standalone expansion is its replayability.
