The Ultimate Guide to Playing Company of Heroes

Introduction

Company of Heroes is a real-time strategy game that puts players in control of the Allied armies during World War II. The game was originally released in 2006, but it’s still incredibly popular today, as evidenced by its Steam player count (which currently hovers around 1 million).

In this guide, we’ll be covering basic gameplay mechanics and how to set up the CoH2 game client on your computer. We’ll also go over some advanced tactics and techniques so you can take advantage of those sneaky little tricks during battles!

1.01: Introduction:

• Company of Heroes is a World War II real-time strategy game developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ in 2006.
• The game takes place during the Second World War, where you will control either the Allied or Axis forces. You can play single player campaigns with each one of them or multiplayer matches against other players online.

1.02: Setting Up Company of Heroes

To play Company of Heroes, you’ll need to download it from Steam. Once you’ve installed the game, open it and select “Play Game.” This will bring up the main menu where you can choose between single-player campaigns and multiplayer games. There are two types of multiplayer matches: ranked (where everyone starts on equal footing) and unranked (which allows people to use custom skins). For now, we’ll focus on unranked matches since they’re much easier to get started with–you don’t have to worry about messing up your rank!

Once in an unranked match lobby, click “Create New Game” if there isn’t already one waiting for someone else to join in. You’ll then be taken through some basic options such as map size before being able to start up your first match!

1.03: Basic Gameplay and Mechanics

Company of Heroes is a real-time strategy game (RTS). This means that you control units on a battlefield and must manage them by giving orders, rather than simply clicking on what you want to do and letting the game play itself out. There are three main types of unit: infantry, vehicles and artillery. Infantry units can walk around the map but cannot attack from far away; vehicles have more health than infantry but are slower; artillery has low health but can deal loads more damage from afar compared to other types of unit. Units gain experience as they fight battles or complete objectives – when they reach certain levels they will unlock new abilities or upgrades which will make them stronger in some way (for example increasing their attack range).

1.04: Basic Units

Infantry are your basic foot soldiers, who can be trained from the barracks and used to capture buildings. This is a good strategy to start with, but you’ll want to add some vehicles and artillery as well.

Vehicles are the next step up from infantry and are often the backbone of an army’s strength. They’re effective against other vehicles, but lack any sort of anti-infantry capabilities so keep them away from enemy infantry!

Artillery is a special unit type that fires powerful shells at enemy units over long distances. They’re great against vehicles and other hard targets, but they’re slow moving so make sure you have enough support units nearby when using them in battle!

Air units round out our list by providing an aerial advantage over ground forces (and sometimes even other air units) through their ability to attack targets from above while ignoring terrain obstacles such as hills or forests which would normally provide cover for ground forces trying to shoot back at them if they were standing still instead of flying high above everything else happening below them like normal people do when walking down streets everyday without worrying about being shot down by airplanes circling overhead looking for prey…

1.05: Advanced Techniques and Tactics

There are many advanced techniques and tactics that can be used in the game, but here are some of the most useful ones:

• Try to capture as much territory as possible. This will give you more resources, allowing you to build bigger armies and expand faster.
• Use infantry units to defend your base or destroy enemy buildings. You can also use them as scouts if there’s nothing else around for them to do!

1.06 : Conclusion and Comparison with Other Games

Overall, Company of Heroes is an excellent RTS that has stood the test of time. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys strategy games and wants to try something new. The game offers a lot of replayability due to its campaign and multiplayer modes, which means that players can enjoy this game for years after purchase!

If you’re looking for something similar but more modern with better graphics, then I recommend checking out Supreme Commander 2 or Planetary Annihilation: Titans (the latter being free).
