Many fans of the original Company of Heroes were expecting a revolutionary new set of mechanics, but the team working on this second title has chosen to be safe and expand on the core ideas of the franchise while adding a number of elements unique to Eastern Front warfare. With Company of Heroes 2, the new strategy title from developer Relic and publisher SEGA, gamers can experience the most important battles that took place in the area while at the same time creating their own scenarios and narratives using the deep mechanics of the series. The Eastern Front was arguably the most important theater of World War II and it has rarely been given fair treatment in video games, which tended to focus more on the landings in Normandy and the battles in the Pacific.
