Call of Duty: World at War vs Company of Heroes 2
Call of Duty: World at War
Call of Duty: World at War returns you back in time to WW2 and drops you into a more adult and darker themed game. Here you have all the shooting content you love with a great campaign and multiplayer set too.The campaign takes on 3 different aspects of the war, with you playing a Soviet Soldier, US Marine and British Gunner. Each of these campaigns features their storylines and you get to move around and fight in the battlefield with other characters that fight with you. In this new version of the game you also have a multiplayer co op mode where 2 people offline or 4 online can all complete the campaign missions together. The game also features 6 multiplayer games where you can earn ranking points and experience as well as take part in some of the fiercest and most loved FPS online gameplay.
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".
