Company of Heros

I used to really hate it, but i've gotten better at RTS games over the years so i'm better at the kinds of super-micro the game calls for. In good Relic fashion the single player is worthless and skirmish AI cheats. (You can literally watch it crap out Stormtrooper squads one after the other. They also just happen to know where your units are on the map at any given time.)

It annoys me that like all good MP titles the gameplay has more or less been broken down by the numbers by all of the old players. It's still possible to play with people who aren't power-tripping morons. Like all MP titles though your mileage will vary based on the people you know.

Oh, and Panzer IV FTW. Powerful, efficient, affordable, and not wanktastic.

No you dont need the original game for Opposing fronts or Tales of Valor they are completely stand alone add-ons but if you have all three you can play all the different factions in multiplayer

Thank you for replying. I'm running a bit low on HD space, and I can only install at most one of those games.

So, which one in the series is recommended?
