Company of Heroes is a singleplayer and multiplayer bird's-eye view RTS game in the Company of Heroes series.
Two standalone expansions were released for the game: Opposing Fronts (v2.100 and above) in September 2007 and Tales of Valor (v2.500 and above) in April 2009. All players have the same files in their installations; purchasing the base game and/or standalone expansions determines which content is available to each player - retail-era patches 2.100 and 2.500 were of considerable size for this reason. The Campaign Edition for OS X was released in March 2012 containing the base game and both expansions, but without multiplayer capabilities.
In December 2013, the Quazal-based multiplayer service was shut down. A New Steam Version was published as a separate library/store entry, with Steamworks multiplayer and a separate build (v2.700 and above) which is not compatible with the previous version.[1] The prior version (re-titled as the Legacy Edition in November 2017) was kept on Steam for compatibility with older community mods, and purchasing the base game includes both the New Steam Version and the Legacy Edition in a bundle.

Version differences
- The New Steam Version (subtitle dropped as of November 2017) has all the multiplayer components modified to use Steamworks, as the original Quazal multiplayer servers are no longer available. Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor count as DLC and do not require any extra downloads.
- The Legacy Edition is the original Steam SKU of the base game pre-patched to version 2.602, and was kept as a separate library/store entry to maintain compatibility with classic mods. The Legacy Edition and the New Steam Version can only be purchased in a bundle, not separately.
- The Anthology edition (known on Steam as the Complete Pack) includes the base game and both expansion packs.
- The Campaign Edition is the OS X release of the game which includes the base game and both expansion packs, but without multiplayer capabilities.
Monetization
| Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Expansion pack | The expansion packs are advertised as standalone releases that are mutually compatible online with the base game and each other. In reality, they are the same game with different segments available to the player, but with all files on all players' computers. Full access to all content requires a valid respective serial key (retail versions/Legacy Edition) or ownership on the player's Steam account. |
| One-time game purchase | The game requires an upfront purchase to access. The base game includes multiplayer access to the United States and Wehrmacht factions, as well as singleplayer campaigns. |
DLC and expansion packs
| Name | Notes | |
|---|---|---|
| Opposing Fronts | Standalone on Windows. Includes the Panzer Elite and United Kingdom factions, as well as new campaigns. Content added with the 2.100 patch. | |
| Tales of Valor | Standalone on Windows. Includes 3 new campaigns, game modes, and replacement units for existing factions. Content added with the 2.500 patch. If a player owns only this version, all 4 armies in skirmish and multiplayer are available, but not all campaigns. | |
Essential improvements
Patches
- Patches for the retail version of the game can be found the official site's archive (requires a torrent client), Patches-Scrolls or GameFront (retail only). Most of them are incremental, and need to be run in order.
