#COMPANY OF HEROES 2 REALISM MOD MOD#

You can find it on Steam for ВЈ6.99 and you can find the mod here. I dare say, this is the end for me.Д¬ompany of Heroes is developed by Relic Entertainment. Some units, such as the Commandos are simply too weak for their supposed expertise, units might get stuck on medics and be useless and some of the descriptions for the units need changing (I.E this tank is Very Effective against Enemy armor, when in reality a peashooter would harm it more) but apart from that, its the perfect addition. I would highly, highly recommend this mod for both long-term CoH fans and CoH players who want a grittier experience. Its both a gift and a curse to have something this amazing ontop of an already stellar RTS and as stated before, it almost ruins the vanilla game. This mod has changed the way I appreciate RTS games and more importantly, how I value squads. Just one of the many, MANY, new vehicles included in Blitzkrieg. You can also zoom really far in for some bizarre reason, so you can really check if Conrad has tied his fucking laces. Blitz also allows you to zoom much further out than CoH does, which allows for a wider field of play and more immersion, instead of at best seeing a group of units, you can now see entire armies. The howitzers raining death upon whoever you fancy also sound amazing, along with most of the weapons in the game, youвЂ™ll literally duck when you hear an MG42 open fire, and cry when you hear that horrible low frequency whine of a V2 rocket descending upon your tank column. The sounds of incoming artillery fire will fill your heart with dread, no longer do you just hear the explosion once its hit but you can hear the shell descending and my god itвЂ™s awesome. Wait thats a big tankвЂ¦ДЄccompanied with these gameplay additions, the sound has improved and the Units have all been brushed up. Also when vehicles blow up, they really blow up so squads you thought were safe next to that Sherman might also go up in flames. Speaking of bombarding, the explosions in this mod are so brutal you will quickly retreat all nearby infantry squads from fear of them exploding into body parts.

And itвЂ™s so satisfying to get to that M7 Priest to go and bombard those pesky Germans.

That being said, the Commander Trees are amazingly well done and diverse that they add another goal to target mid-game. The new units look great and they are all fairly balanced and arenвЂ™t too far fetched, for example thereвЂ™s no American Super Solider squad, but there are Airborne HQ Squads which are basically veteran Airborne squads, so it makes sense that these fight better because they cost more and you have to travel down the Commander Tree to get to them. IвЂ™ve pumped around 200 hours into CoH so IвЂ™m more than happy with the amount of effort that has been put into this mod. ItвЂ™s continually refreshing to see different units come into CoH. All Commander Trees have been largely increased and improved. It also introduces more units, such as the Airborne Ranger squads and the Waffen-SS who have their respective bonuses and flaws, more tanks, more vehicles more EVERYTHING. Blitzkrieg introduces so much more itвЂ™s almost a curse to original experience, I myself feel I can never really go back into vanilla CoH and enjoy it without thinking about the absolute joy I get from playing Blitz! Blitz introduces increased damage, so instead of being able to throw a couple of units at an MG team and managing to make at least 1 get through whilst the other is suppressed, both those squads will inevitably die. This is pretty much where the similarities between CoH and Blitz end. You have units and Commander trees you can embark upon and the main aim of the game is very much the same as in vanilla CoH: Kill the enemy. You control either the Allies: Britain/America or the Axis: Wermacht/Panzer Elite in an attempt to destroy each other by annihilation (Or if youвЂ™re some kind of alien, through victory points). It has a big gun, it deserves that massive iron cross on the mini-map.ДЄssuming youвЂ™ve played Company of Heroes (CoH) Blitz wonвЂ™t change much of the core gameplay elements.

Increased damage, more units, bigger tech trees, more maps, this mod has it all and is topped off with making multiplayer fights with your pals even more fun because of these improvements. It makes the almost casual, arcadey experience of the vanilla version of Company of Heroes into something gritty, brutal, intense and my god so so so fun. You better tie your laces, because this is hell.Д¬ompany of Heroes: Blitzkrieg Mod (Blitz) is a drastic overhaul for Relics master real time strategy game Company of Heroes. A realistic and hardcore version of Company of Heroes.
