The focus on individual units gives the game a more personal feel rather than having you pushing huge nondescript battalions about. Players control individual squads on relatively small maps, compared with other RTS games out there. The Company of Heroes games are RTS affairs generally played in an isometric camera view- although this view can be adjusted to suit players’ tastes.

Late last year Sega released Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault, the first standalone expansion for the game. Sega stepped in, themselves no strangers to the genre being publishers of the Total War games, and in June 2013 they released Company of Heroes 2. When Company of Heroes publisher THQ went to the wall in 2012, the future of Relic’s sequel to their acclaimed 2006 WWII PC real-time strategy game seemed in doubt.
