Company of Heroes

This RTS is set in WWII in the fight between the Axis and Allied forces. It is one of the most advanced RTS's to date, with a highly detailed, fully destructable world, and its own physics engine, and complete camera control, players of this game can feel involved like never before. The level of realism in the game means that unlike most other RTS's, the tactical use of your units is more important than simply outnumbering the enemy.

The campaign mode follows the allies following the assault at Normandy. The missions are nicely varied in objectives and game style, with badges to collect as bonusses at each level.

Online, you can play both tournament style and casually, with a max of 4v4. The maps are varied nicely, meaning players need to adapt their style of play to each one. Each map can be played as either annihilation, where the objective is the destroy the enemy, or as victory point, where players can also win by holding points for a length of time.

The online section of the game also includes a community with news updates, chatrooms and a buddies system.
