Company of Heroes 2
Most Popular RTS Games That You Can Play Right Now
Company of Heroes 2 is one of the few historically-based RTS titles that can hold its own against the fantasy-laden behemoths such as StarCraft and Warcraft.
Set on the Eastern Front of World War II, where some of the bloodiest conflicts of the war took place (from the ‘Battle of Berlin’ to ‘Operation Barbarossa’), the campaign mainly puts you in control of the Soviet forces and their WWII efforts.
While the game boasts an incredible and brutal campaign, its highly-active multiplayer is where most players are spending their time these days, with an average of about 4000-6000 concurrent players still playing.
This number might have been significantly higher though, considering that Russia banned the sale of Company of Heroes 2 within its borders because of its cruel depiction of Soviet military leaders in WWII.
Wherever you might stand on this title’s controversial themes, Company of Heroes 2 is still a vigorous, challenging, and enthralling RTS title that deserves your attention.
