Battlefield Hardline vs Company of Heroes 2
Battlefield Hardline
Battlefield Hardline is rather nice spin-off from the usual massive battlefields, which happened to be the hallmark of the Battlefield game franchise. In this spin-off though, instead of playing as soldiers in a war, you'll be assuming the character of detective Nick Mendoza in the game's episodic crime drama. Being the lead detective, you'll need to manage your team of cops, gather intel, obtain warrants and take down various criminals and the organizations they are associated with.Many of the features in this game is similar to the ones you'll alrready have encountered in any of the main Battlefield games, including a large arsenal of weapons, a range of vehicles, a variety of gadgets as well as destructible environments. The game also offer four different multiplayer modes where you can play as the cops or the criminal. In a way, the game have a bit of a PayDay feel to it.
Battlefield Hardline is a quite unique spin-off of the series and it has been received pretty well by its fans. The gameplay is as fun as ever. If you like cop games, this is the game you'll want to play.
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".
