Battlefield 4 vs Company of Heroes 2
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4 brings large-scale multiplayer battles to a whole new level with destructible and dynamic environments that you and your team can make use of to change the lanscape of the battlefield, opening up new tactical maneuvers. You can even launch an amphibious assault, catching your enemies unawares; or simply engage in massive water-based vehicular combat. There are a whole lot more vehicles, weapons, huge maps and freedom to play as you like in this game, giving you an unrivalled, all-out war experience that frankly is the best Battlefield has offered thus far!Best yet, the game added a single player campaign for those who want to experience the fun of huge battles without having to play online. The storyline is quite touching as it details the struggles of a unit of American troops doing their best to complete their mission and work their way home.
If you love Battlefield games, well, Battlefield 4 will definitely astound you! Even for those who disliked the multiplayer-heavy gameplay in the previous Battlefield titles can agree that the single-player campaign does make up a lot for that. Though, buying this game for only its single player aspect might be a bit not worthwhile, unless you can get it at a discount.
Company of Heroes 2
Company of Heroes 2 is the exciting follow-up for the original Company of Heroes game. Set in World War 2, this game is rather multiplayer-focused but it does provide players with an intense single-player campaign which also double as a way for you to be familiarized with the gameplay before heading into multiplayer.The game does have a lot of "standalone" DLCs that adds either a new single player campaign to the game or a new multiplayer army for well... the multiplayer gameplay which you'll have to buy if you aim to get a "complete" version of the game. This kind of make the multiplayer aspect of the game rather pay-to-win since players without the new multiplayer standalone, which usually features a new army that's slighter stronger, will probably be on a disadvantage.
All in all, Company of Heroes 2 is still a great game from a great franchise, but it seems like the developers/publishers may have lost some favor with its player base mainly because of the slew of "standalones" that players have to shell more money for in addition to the "base game".
