Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts Available on Steam

After a delayed release, the stand-alone expansion Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is finally available on Steam and from retailers.

Company of Heroes is one of the best RTS games released int he last two years and has a great resource system that makes it feel like war not Warcraft. The fact that it adapts supply points and similar concepts instead of making soldiers chop down trees or mine for metals definitely makes it stand out. It also handles destructible terrain better than just about any other game.

The Opposing Fronts expansion puts players in command of two opposing armies in war torn Europe during World War II and provides plenty of new features.

• Two New Armies: Play as the British 2nd Army or German Panzer Elite, each with devastating command trees options and unit upgrades.
• Two Full Campaigns: Command the British 2nd Army to liberate the key strategic position of Caen, France. Control the German Panzer Elite to repel the Allied airborne invasion in Operation Market Garden.
• Real War, Real Battlefields, Real War Enhanced: Mission Persistence, Dynamic Weather Effects, Enhanced Vehicle Tactics and more deliver a new level of realism and all new battlefield tactics.
• All new Multiplayer Options: Combine Company of Heroes™: Opposing Fronts™ with the original Company of Heroes for a total of four playable armies online. Join British artillery with American armor to dominate the 3rd Reich or utilize Wehrmacht and Panzer Elite blitzkrieg tactics to annihilate the Allied invasion.
• DirectX® 10 Support provides the most realistic RTS experience available with enhanced lighting and incredible terrain detail.

The suggested retail price for Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is $39.99.
