Honestly just the best mod currently available for CoH 2. Undeniably there are a few rough edges, but these are barely noticeable in game and are the result of CoH 2 engine itself, not the mod.

The combat is a perfect mix of Blitzkrieg mod-style realism and the fluidity of the base game.

The team has the perfect mix of heart and professionalism, and it truly does show.

Now, this mod isn't without its flaws. But then again, there are fully fledged, multi-million dollar games with far more flaws.

When seeking to expand upon the base game of Company of Heroes, there are a variety of total change mods that drastically alter the gameplay and turn the experience into something completely new - the ultra high speed modern battlefields of Modern Combat and the hellish, uber-realistic slog of Blitzkrieg come to mind.

But it's important not to lose sight of the masterpiece that is vanilla Company of Heroes - the sheer fun and competitiveness. And this mod does a fantastic job of keeping that in sight.

The addition of two fully fledged, totally unique factions to the base game is quite an achievement. I wasn't even sure it was possible to alter the UI enough to be able to select an additional Axis and Allied faction, but I guess anything is possible.

The new factions are satisfying, unique, and balanced - perhaps with slight Soviet bias, but that would be understandable. I actually enjoyed the Ostheer the most - the Elite Troops doctrine allows for some particularly rewarding Tiger spam. Yeah, Tiger spam. Unit caps are for sissies.

This mod also adds some fantastic new features to the base game. Unlimited Popcap mode is a no-brainer, and the new reward units really help. With the Comet tank, allies finally have a proper response to the likes of the Panther. The 105mm Sherman is perfect for dealing with nasty Panzer Elite blobs. The Jagdtiger is self explanatory (Think a Jagdpanther crossed with a King Tiger and mixed with a pinch of nightmares) - so are, um, Snowman Grenadiers (Just Grenadiers and nightmares).

Definitely the best CoH mod of all time, and certainly one of the best mods on ModDB. Hopefully it will shake the current phase of dormancy it seems to be going through, and the planned additions will come to fruition.

Until then, excellent work, Comrades!

This mod is a fantastic expansion upon the vanilla gameplay of Dawn of War Soulstorm. It adds a massive variety of new content, and despite some rough edges, is quite possibly the most insane, awesome fun that you can have with Dawn of War.

The beginnings of a fantastic mod. The improvements to the Chaos and Space Marine factions are very nicely done, and the general fixes that the other factions have experienced are also much appreciated (thank the Emperor for the return of the lasgun-wielding heavy weapons team spotter).

The best thing about this mod is how it successfully increases the scale of Dawn of War II but keeps the basic game formula intact.

And the Grey Knights and Tau are pretty bloody neat too :D
