The latest entry in the Company of Heroes 2 series features
this iconic Allied army from WWII. Experience a unique tech-tree
that challenges the player to balance the constant trade-off
between mobility and defense. Surprise opponents with your
development choices and an open end game configuration.
Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces is the new standalone
multiplayer release in this esteemed World War II RTS franchise. It
is the perfect entry point into the vibrant Company of Heroes 2
community. Play as the unconquerable Britons and their motley-crew
of soldiers! A force remarkable for its diversity, including
Englishmen, Scotsmen, Welshmen, Irishmen – representing everyone
from the working classes to the upper class elite of the
United Kingdom. Under the leadership of the fiery Sir Winston
Churchill, this assorted mix put aside their differences and became
the only remaining Western European nation to escape the grip of
Axis-dominated Europe, before leading the final offensive with the
other Allied Forces.
New players will also have access to all pre-existing Company of
Heroes 2 maps via auto-match as well as the ability to battle
against all other existing factions. The British Army features a
brand new set of distinctive tactical gameplay options articulated
around a new tech tree including new infantry, team weapons,
vehicles, upgrades, commanders with unique abilities and a total of
eight new multiplayer maps portraying historic battlefield
locations. Battles reach an unprecedented level of authenticity
with the addition of motion-captured data for the most common
animation sets, which will also enhance all the previously released
Company of Heroes 2 armies. By introducing a new faction with a
unique playstyle, The British Forces further reinforces Company of
Heroes 2 as the most comprehensive World War II platform for RTS
fans.
Features:

Churchill Crocodile flamethrower tank to the RAF glider, this new

raids and artillery.

actors from England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales and New-Zealand bring

differences – and rivalries – among the British subjects stand
out.

comes to life like never before thanks to motion-captured data for
the most common animation set (SMG), that will also update all of
