New Steam Version
This version of the game (included alongside the original THQ release) has all the multiplayer components modified to use Steamworks as the original multiplayer servers are no longer available. As an added bonus, both standalone expansions (Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts and Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor) will count as DLC and do not require any extra downloads.
