    This is the kind of crap I expect from EA. I shouldn't have to pay for two halves of the same game separately, especially when the first game had this army by default. This is a filthy cash grab that should not be encouraged.

    Is it a good army? I think it is a solid addition. Is it ok to sell armies independently at a price higher than the base game? Absolutely not. Purchase only during sales.

    The USF is an overpowered faction based around developing a blob of insanely powerful infantry over the course of the game. By the midgame a decent USF player should have a swarm of veteran infantry that can melt anything and be on the attack almost constantly. At the beginning of the game the USF start with a disadvantage. Their starting engineer unit is weaker than both the OstHeer and OKWs engineer units. The USF will not be able to seize key objectives at beginning of a game unless they…

    13 dollars to play as the United States. Doesn't unlock the main campaign - that's extra, big boy. Garbage game. Try again for CoH 3.

    Didn't even buy it (nani???) but anyways this crap should've been FREE, not paid you numnuts. Why not just sell us DLCs for different vehicles and infantry rifles? Oh wait, that's impossible, since you've already done THIS EXACT THING with the different commanders who require real life money!

    Can't believe these guys disrespected my combat engineers like that. Knowing damn well not a single one of them has the balls to go out there and clear minefields. We operate as our own mechanized patrol in some of the most dangerous areas away from support. The disrespect in the description alone deserves a back hand to whatever clown gave you that information. Also, why wasn't it part of the game initially?

    Playing with friends can make it amusing but the game itself is'n good. It has broken(or none existent) "AI" spamming units above cap, microtransactions and a general feeling that little though or care was put into the game. Only greed. And sure greed can lead to great and sometimes even good things. But sadly this game ain't any of them.

    The American Forces can adapt to the situation around the maps with their weapon rack. Need Anti infantry weapon? Pick up a BAR just for 60 munition! Need handheld anti tank weapon? Pick up a M9 Bazooka for 50 Munitions! (bonus points if used with rangers) Their vehicles are good not over the top, but it's decent. They need to dispatch units (or activating HQ's) to get more units, yes you are making a good frontline unit to have more, their officers are very great. Commanders are Okay and…

    Its an Alright Faction just its keeps getting these dumb add-ons making it to one of the more micro managing factions so the summary is you -cant build your base whichs is good and sometimes but in order to unlock to the various tech trees you have to unlock the unit first (Captain, Corporal and the other guy) they cost fuel too, you also have to upgrade one of them to be able to unlock the third (once u spawn one it'll only have 2 out of 4 units available the armor ls locked behind that…

    Broken. At First the US forces were fun to play and were versatile and change with the battle but ever since a few updates back they changed them and wrecked a key part in what made them fun and their style of play. They were never op in a single style of combat yeah the could dig in but the defense's are laughable compared to the other nations in this game, Britain is like a burrowed tick when it comes to defense USSR its like hitting a brick wall, Germans eh it can be a bit of a mess (NOT The…

    Beware, this game charges you for Russia and Germany forces, misleading you into buying their product. Then they want to charge you for each other faction. Terrible business model designed to trick you out of more money.

    The US of A, my least played faction. They're not bad, don't get me wrong. Units are good, vehicles are good, lots of upgrades you can do and similar to the British faction and unlike the vanilla factions instead of clicking upgrade buttons to give your units specific weapons you instead just right click on a small weapons depot in your base and pick up either a Bazooka or a BAR for a small munitions cost. Very similar to the Brits with their Brens and PIATs. +Exactly what you'd expect from…

    Company of Heroes 2 – The Western Front Armies: US Forces, developed and published by Relic Entertainment with Feral Interactive handling Mac and Linux versions, is more than a simple faction expansion—it is a reinvigoration of Company of Heroes 2’s multiplayer ecosystem. Instead of functioning as minor DLC, the US Forces arrive as a distinct, fully featured army with its own units, doctrines, strategies, weaknesses, and battlefield personality. For players who felt the original game focused…

  • Steam user Steam user …5369Steam reviews · Oct 29, 2024

    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.
