Certain maps have frozen bodies of water, allowing for more movement options. Players moving through deep snow will move at a reduced speed. Bonfires protect soldiers from the cold at the expense of enemy detection. Since many battles in the Eastern Front occurred in winter weather, troops can die of frostbite if caught in the outside during blizzards. Weather conditions are a major factor in gameplay, with movement and action penalties applied to players' units. Essence 3.0 also incorporates an innovative weather-simulating technology known as ColdTech and destructible environments. In contrast to traditional unit visibility, TrueSight more accurately represents a unit's visibility range based on environmental conditions and type of unit. One such improvement is the new line-of-sight technology, TrueSight, which aims to better emulate troop visibility in real combat. The game is built on Relic's proprietary Essence 3.0 engine, which showcases new improvements compared to Relic's previous games. The campaign features the Soviet Red Army as a new faction and takes the player to various stages of the Eastern Front campaign, from Operation Barbarossa to the Battle of Berlin. 6.3 Company of Heroes 2: British Forces.6.2 Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault.6.1 Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies.In all, I would recommend getting it when its on sale for 66% off, which should happen often since CoH 2 is a dlc cow. I'm replaying it now with able simply cause I want their camo reward. I would recommend leaving out Able company on your first playthrough, as the other 3 companies unlock more useful bulletins. You also can unlock almost every USF camo through the campaign. You get some kick ass bulletins for USF from playing it that will help out in multiplayer quite a bit more than other bulletins. The real motif for getting and playing Ardennes Assault is the rewards though. They're absurdly good and ranger spam will let you blow through any mission you use them in if they're upgraded with schreks. The fox company rangers are only usable in the ardennes assault campaign. That being said, it is decently fun and similar to the Dawn of War Dark Cruesade campaign if you've ever played that (though much more watered down with less replay value). While I did enjoy it more than the soviet campaign, I wouldn't pay more than the $16 i paid for it and the fox company together.
