    Anybody try the game yet? I've been thinking of buying this but I've heard mixed reviews. The videos all look awesome, but when I was playing the original CoH last night I asked someone that was already playing it if it is good/worth the $30 and he said "not unless you play CoH religiously". :(

    So just wondering what other people thought of the game. And if anyone finds any reviews on the game then that would be great.

    Thanks :)

    i bought the gold edition of CoH which had original+opposing fronts for $30 so i can't see spending another $30 for an expansion with not that much new content

    well it has new units as well as some new (albeit short) campaign missions, and a few new gametypes. so that alone is more worth it than Opposing Fronts when that first came out. But is it worth the $30? Anyone got any opinions?

    I'd say it's worth it if the new mp modes appeal to you or if it's your first CoH game as it offers all four armies. For me, I'm willing to pay 28 bucks for access to the Hellcat.

    Talked a hardcore CoH fanatic friend last night, he says its worth it. From what he said it interested me but i havent touched CoH in ages. Ill see if i can get back into it maybe.

    Is it any good? I finished the original CoH a long time ago, back when I first bought my laptop. It was a blast! At least when it first came out... World in Conflict's my kinda thing now, prolly cause' of the more modern firepower being showcased.
