    Why are factions broken in pieces and sold seperately ? Stupid tactics and they are charing 12 dollars for 1 faction that's even more stupid

    What the hell is this ? This game is cheaper then the DLC . And the DLC gives you stuff that should be in the base game. What else did you expect from SEGA ? This greed is what killed them.

    Great faction all around, has the best engineer units comes with 4 STG'S! Also has better tanks that wermacht but is lot more expensive in fuel so keep that in mind. This faction also lacks snipers, mortars and good AT guns, although it can go in buildings and retreat which is a plus, it just isn't as powerful and as good as the wermacht's pak 40. But overall this faction is a good pick.

    Don't get me wrong, the DLC is not bad (albeit a little expensive) and the Oberkommando West are a fun faction to play. However, I am starting to get really tired of RTS games having two factions from the same nation and calling it a day. For example, the Oberkommando. They're just another Germany, nothing more. We couldn't get Italy, nor any of the other Axis nations. Another popular RTS game, Men of War: Assault Squad 2, has three factions for each team, the Allies and the Axis. The Allies…

    The OKW is an overpowered faction that makes the game almost pay to win. At the beginning of the game the OKW start with the most powerful engineer unit and will win the first engagement if this unit is used to rush the enemy. With this early game advantage the OKW can secure key points on the map like bridges and critical resources like gas. For much of the early game the OKW can overwhelm most factions with superior numbers. Their main infantry unit is the volksgrenadier. The…

    Is it a great army? Of course it is, in fact it is my favorite in the game. Is it ok to sell armies independently at a price higher than the base game? Absolutely not. What is more to it is that this new overpriced faction seems to have been lazily made with many units sharing the exact same models something that was not seen in the base game factions. Furthermore, at least for the English version for some unexplained reason these German units seem to have lost the German accent and voice…

    This faction is the best in the game, why? Instead of Germany´s battle phases and engineers building stuff in the home base. This faction has trucks which allow you to make forward bases in the frontline which is an absolute win, the medical center allows you to reinforce troops and heal them in the battlefield. Make stuka launcher trucks to bombard the enemies flanks and the infantry is extremely strong,. is this faction worth it? Yes it is really powerful

    If u were looking to buy this faction based off of old gameplay footage from youtubers or from relic themselves then don't. As it stands now, this faction is nothing more then a shadow of it's former self. Nerfed to oblivion and keeps getting worse with each patch. Most of the abilities u saw they had in older footage aren't there anymore and those that are have been changed and now it's almost impossible to do 1v1 with this faction anymore as well. I'd say avoid okw altogether but if u still…

    The OKW great vehicles and infantry bad resource economy. The OKW is based on more seasoned and late-war tech they have some interesting quirks. -All units have 5 veteran ranks meaning if your good at managing them they can be a unstoppable, -They have good tanks and infantry Engineers start off with STG's making them great assault units and can be upgraded to panzerschrecks, the Stuka half track clears blobs like its nothing, and the King Tiger and so on. This faction mostly focuses on keeping…

    The OKW and US Forces are good additions to the game, even though the OKW is overpowered and suffers from lazy design: no building of ammo and fuel caches, starting strong and ending strong. This DLC also grants 8 new maps and they are actually good - who knew? The addition I liked the most was that of paratroopers jumping into the game. This is not only a great help to isolate enemy territories but it's just really cool. The US Forces are meant to be a Zerg-like faciton and you have to pump a…

    Another DLC for Company of Heroes 2, which adds army of Oberkommando West. What's most important - We receive new fraction, including original units, tanks and abilities. We receiving also a few new maps. In my opinion It's a great army, which gives a lot of new mechanics. I Recommended, but try to buy it on discount, bundles or simply in full version Company of Heroes 2, because this content is not worth base price of DLC.

    Great army, it brings back the way the british used to work in company of heroes 1. With that in mind, being able to setup sweet defences with dangerous flak cannons, is a dream come true. It's perfectly balanced with the resources being loose and hard to obtain. 9/10

    Highly Recommend for a couple of reasons. First, you can use the salvage ability on wrecked/abandoned vehicles and get fuel, and you can siphon anti tank guns, that's fun. Second, You have the best tanks in the GAME, and your kongstiger and panthers can be a pain for the allies to deal with. Third, you have early and late game advantage, with the allies having to stop you mid game or the oberkommando flushed them late game with panthers. This is a really good army, but it can't do anything…

    COH2 – The Western Front Armies: Oberkommando West is one of the most distinctive and strategically challenging faction expansions released for Company of Heroes 2, offering a fundamentally different interpretation of World War II real-time tactics. Developed and published by Relic Entertainment, with Feral Interactive handling Mac and Linux versions, it reintroduces the Western Front to the multiplayer ecosystem through a bold, asymmetrical design philosophy. Unlike the Wehrmacht Ostheer,…

    Bought it a while ago then thought I'd replay it as I didn't play it much I quickly understood why I quit playing it originally What idiot mapped pause in single player to the break key ? whats wrong with space like every other game ? The break key takes you out of the game and shuts the screen so no pausing and no you cant remap the keys So I guess its uninstall time again

    Retarded macro transactions. This just unlock new units for multiplayer. It doesn't even come with a campaign. Don't waste your time and cash. Rather wait for the game to go dirt cheap and get the full pack. This is just greed level 1000. Then again it's EA, so what did I expect!?

    I don't own this yet but from the look and plays with a friend the gameplay focused on you quickly capture point then set up defences and then the end game come when you used your heavy armour to strike the OKW alone is quite a force to display however if it's come with the Wehrmach it reach it's full potential with wehrmacht constantly build fuel cache for OKW heavy armour to reach its final phase.

    It was a pretty logical move by Relic to eventually add western front content to Company Of Heroes 2 as well. Company of Heroes 1 will always be a legendary strategy game but it's always difficult to play older titles because of the graphics and lack of quality of life improvements which were added in newer titles. Not to mention that no matter how much you like something, you can eventually be sick of it with time.

    Company of Heroes 2 - The Western Front Armies: Oberkommando West Fine Army Expansion but very Redundant Faction Worth a try if it's on discount The Oberkommando West works as an infantry-focused army, with large squads of foot soldiers that are effective against most enemies in combat. This faction has some regular crew units that can help in stationary engagements although they do not stand out much due to their limitations in rate of fire and damage. On the other hand, their heavy armored…

Anyways, fun faction. +You remember that one faction in COH1 that was essentially "Germany but with different vehicles! Wow, so cool to use different things and especially the big, heavy boys!!
