For the Russian soldiers in World War II’s Eastern Front, the melting snows must have been an amazing sight. Fighting for your country, watching countless thousands of your countrymen die to both Nazi aggression and environmental exposure was doubtless brutal for morale. But in Company of Heroes 2, the next entry in the popular RTS franchise from Relic Entertainment, battling outside of winter is decidedly less interesting.
Less interesting doesn’t mean uninteresting, mind you. When compared to the winter maps we’ve seen there simply seems to be a lot less going in spring. You don’t have to worry about the fury of what Eastern Front soldiers came to refer to as General Winter; the weather isn’t out to kill you. You still have to worry about the rest of what’s made the series so popular, though, such as intricately detailed mortar explosions that turn your soldiers into hamburger, bullets that’ll knock them off their feet, and armored tanks that can roll over them as if they were simply debris on the road.
