Call of War 1942 vs Company of Heroes 2
Call of War 1942
Call of War 1942 is an MMORTS brwoser game that relatively plays in the same way as Bytro Labs' other real-time strategy game, Supremacy 1914, which is also a browser strategy game although this game is set in World War I instead of World War II. That aside, Bytro Labs definitely know how to make MMORTS games and is well-known for it. Due to this, Call of War 1942 is a pretty amazing tactical RTS game that allows you to manage and gather your country’s resources, build structures, form a strong army, and conquer neighboring territories. Its incredible depth is what attracts players to try the game out though if you have no experience with grand strategy games or have played their previous title, you might find the game a bit hard to get into.There are simply a lot of things you can do in Call of War 1942, making it an outstanding browser-based MMORTS. However, it’s not for everybody, due to it being rather difficult to grasp and that there are just so many things you need to learn in order to succeed in-game. Nevertheless, if you want a great real-time MMORTS, this game is for you.
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".
