All in all, if you liked the original Company of heroes or the sequal, the Western Front Armies is nothing short of a must buy. On top of the lobby system, is now the new "spoils of war" loot system, that will randomly drop you a "supply crate" after a game has ended, rewarding you with a random new upgrade weather its a new commander, skin or bulletin of various "rareness". Another welcome addition is the new lobby system that now allows for users to make their own custom matches without all the hassle of only being able to invite friends via steam. The units, the graphics and even the physics seem to have gotten an overhaul, with the welcome addition of two new armies and the introduction of the American forces. It completely transforms the game into something with a little more edge. At the price of 20€ for us Europeans it is nothing less then a steal. It This is what Company of heroes 2 should have been like all along.
The game is a "theater of war", it reveals a complete picture of the military operations of that time with the help of single-player and team missions. Since real military actions mostly took place in the harsh Russian winter, the heroes of the game may die from frostbite, but there is the possibility of restoring body temperature near the fire or indoors. It's interesting that weather conditions are quite important in the game. The game itself is presented in the form of protagonist memories, so episodes are provided outside the chronological order. The game takes place on behalf of Lev Abramovich Isakovich - a veteran of the Great Patriotic War, sentenced to be shot for anti-Soviet activities.
It will be possible to be a participant in even such battles as Operation of Barbaross near Berlin and at other decisive stages of the Eastern Front. Mainly the players will have to control the Soviet Red Army in various military operations. Chronologically, actions affect the events of the Great Patriotic War, but the main platform of action is the Eastern Front.
