Company of Heroes 2 rewards tactical gameplay, ‘smart players’

Company of Heroes 2 is not like your usual click per minute supremacy RTS where being Korean gives you a genetic advantage over everyone on planet Earth.

If you are smart and willing to preserve your life instead of running out in the open like a headless chicken and not sacrificing your entire squad, you can easily defeat someone who does that.

“We want to be rewarding smart players. It’s not an [actions-per-minute] game,” game’s senior designer Quinn Duffy told Joystiq.

“To play Company of Heroes 2 you need to play smart and be aggressive in your decision making. We want smart players to be able to maximize the value of their units. A guy playing smart with his defenses and his cover and his movement, you want him to beat up on a guy with three squads.”
