company of heroes 2 ardennes assault campaign

However, this was not to be the case the Western German army committed a sizable force that took the resting Allied forces – who are mostly USA troops – by surprise. The Ardennes expanse was thought to be relatively safe for fatigued combat units of the US forces to rest and rearm. The Battle of the Bulge was a particularly dramatic chapter in WW2. The campaign begins with a desperate attempts to relink US forces that have been isolated by the Third Reich’s onslaught. Thus, Relic made an expansion pack about a campaign that is based on the Battle of the Bulge.

Furthermore, during its time, it had to compete with contemporaries like the Men of War and Sudden Strike games. Yet, without telling a story that pays homage to the setting of World War 2 (WW2), Company of Heroes 2 is not going to do much to re-engage players who wanted such an adaptation of those war stories, much less engage new players. Since then, Relic has mainly focused on the non-campaign parts of the gameplay there have been a few expansion packs, which introduce factions that are based on the armies that fought on the Western Front of the European theatre. In particular, the story that it is telling is little more than narrative glue that Relic hoped would somehow tie the disparate missions together.

One of the complaints was that the campaign in that base package was not as epic as the developers like to think it is. The base package of Company of Heroes 2 was not exactly well-received by a lot of people.
