THQ’s Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts out this fall
THQ has just announced that Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts for PCs will be launched this fall. The sequel to Company of Heroes, this new RTS being developed by Relic Entertainment, allows players to participate in some of the biggest battles in WWII history.
Bob Aniello, the senior vice president of worldwide marketing at THQ, spoke about the release.
Company of Heroes smashed preconceptions of what an RTS game could and should be, earning dozens of industry awards and the highest review score average of any RTS title in the last decade.
He added that “Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts is an epic new chapter in this series, and we are excited to bring this top-tier cinematic RTS to consumers worldwide.”
Highlights of the game include leading the British 2nd Army in the liberation of Caen, France. For those who would rather command the Germans, you can take control of the Panzer Elite in repelling the largest airborne invasion in history. New multiplayer modes have also been added to further the game’s replayability. The game is fully compatible with the original Company of Heroes, upping the playable armies to four.
Tarrnie Williams, the general manager of Relic Entertainment, is pretty excited about the game and its new features. He said that “In Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts players will experience fast-paced dynamic tactics like never before, in two of the most brutal World War II campaigns ever fought.” He also mentioned the features of the game:
- two unique armies with full length campaigns
- new multiplayer modes
- Microsoft DirectX(R) 10 support
- mission persistence
- improved vehicle and soldier AI
- enhanced physics
- dynamic weather system
Looking at the features, we have to admit that if the game really does deliver all it said it would, then we’ve got another game to watch out for.
