The upgrade is intended to improve the balance of the game's five factions. Finally, every player - whether they are new to the franchise or a long standing fan - can play The British Forces and have a compelling multiplayer experience with an army that can certainly go toe-to-toe with every other faction in the game.'Īlongside The British Forces' launch in September, Company of Heroes 2 developer Relic Entertainment will release 'a major design upgrade' for the main game and all its existing expansions, according to Sega. 'The British were a major player in WWII and we are excited to bring their unique makeup and overall tactical doctrine to the Company of Heroes 2 battlefield. 'The British Army has been one of the most requested factions since we first announced Company of Heroes 2 three years ago,' said Greg Wilson, executive producer at Relic Entertainment, in a press release. The 'anvil' approach focuses on gun emplacements to build strong defensive positions, while the 'hammer' approach is more aggressive, with speedy and powerful attacking units. Players have two different choices in the expansion's tech tree, and the breakdown is based on the Brits' actual military strategy in World War II. The British Forces will add eight new multiplayer maps, 15 units and six commanders to Company of Heroes 2. Company of Heroes 2's next expansion, The British Forces, will bring the British Army into the real-time strategy game as a playable faction, and its debut will come with some major changes to the game, publisher Sega announced today.
