 COH: OF Review November 30, 2008
Unlike many expansion packs Opposing Fronts offers new challenges to overcome, not just more of the original. The AI is quite smart, which makes the gameplay much smoother and more enjoyable. No units getting stuck trying to go through tight areas etc. Plus the enemy, is knowledgeable and will try to out think you which adds a whole new level to this RTS. All in all Opposing Fronts offers a challenging experience that provides hours of fun in a smooth, realistic and good graphic package. I strongly recommend this game if you are into the real time strategy type.
 Great buy and worth the price November 29, 2008
This is an overall great RTS. Have up to three seperate storys (if you have original CoH) that will keep you playing for hours on end.
 If you EVER get the game installed and running ... November 27, 2008
I thought Company of Heroes was difficult to install but CoH:Opposing Force takes things to a whole new level. How about an expansion that requires you to uninstall the original game but does not tell you that? Installation instructions that ignore known issues? Hours of mandatory patching after installation? One of the least helpful technical support pages on the internet? There's more, much more. You may NEVER get this game running. All this from a game that has been out for over a year?
When/if you can get CoH:OF installed and running, you have a very good expansion to a superb game. My only quibble is that the King Tigers in the last couple English missions were so very overpowered and nearly invulnerable at normal difficulty that I hesitate to replay that campaign on hard. The KTs required exquisite micromanagement of forces to whittle them down and because there is action in other areas at the same time, I found myself pausing every second or two to adjust units. To me those missions just weren't fun.
THQ will be releasing another expansion, Tales of Valor, soon. My advice--take an initial pass on it until reviews make it clear whether THQ has gotten their installation issues resolved. If you choose to ignore the many angry reviewers and buy OF or ToV, don't say you weren't warned.
good game November 24, 2008
it's a good game, if you can play more than 2 armies it would be even more fun
 Paranoid publisher November 6, 2008
The first CoH is an awesome game, but this follow-up is a big disappointment. There is so much anti-piracy junk in the way of just playing the game. When I finally got all the patches downloaded, it won't take my key online because it says that it is already being used! And customer support is nowhere to be found. So now I can't play my game online and I can't return the game because it is already opened. I will *never* buy a game from THQ again.
