The Great War is a modification for Company of Heroes meant to bring the war two decades earlier. This mod focuses on the later years of the First World War. Currently the two teams will be the British Expeditionary Force against the German Empire, however with time the team will try and bring some more nations in, such as France and Austria-Hungary. This mod will focus or realism but keep the game balanced enough to make it enjoyable. Things to look for in the mod are the famous artillery strikes and the infamous gas attacks. Trenches will provide vital cover for infantry while tanks will roll over the battlefield and instil fear into the enemy troops.
Pretty damn fun and more brutal than vannila COH. The Trench system is amazing and its great to play on a LAN with freinds. Easy install too. The tanks are amazing they managed to get multiple guns working on them properly which is cool. There's also melee combat where they pull out a melee weapon and whack someone with it. It uses a throwing animation for melee but meh points for trying and it might be hard to pit in more animations. It still looks convincing. They don't use their bayonets which is a shame. I like the no population cap mode too. Both nations are very defensive and I've had to rely on mass charges of infantry with lots of mortars and artillery to do anything which I suppose is how much of the WW2 combat worked.
Amazing mod and I can't wait for the French.
