(yes i did steal this idea from Pongsifu)
Company of Heroes 2 is a real-time strategy video game developed by Relic Entertainment and published by Sega for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux. It is the sequel to the 2006 game Company of Heroes. As with the original Company of Heroes, the game is set in World War II but with the focus on the Eastern Front, with players primarily controlling the side of the Soviet Red Army during various stages of the Eastern Front, from Operation Barbarossa to the Battle of Berlin. Company of Heroes 2 runs on Relic Entertainment's proprietary Essence 3.0 game engine.

In January 2013, Sega acquired Relic Entertainment and along with it the Company of Heroes intellectual property from THQ. The game was released on June 25 in North America and Europe.

PC World gave the game three and a half out of five. PC Gamer rated the game at 80 concluding: "Company of Heroes 2 is the USSR of real-time strategy games: huge, powerful and just a little bit broken".[28] IGN gave the game an 8.4: "More sequel-sized expansion than true successor, Company of Heroes 2 repeats many of the original Company of Heroes feats".

As of March 31, 2014, the game has sold 680,000 copies in Europe and North America.

Relic has been questioned by critics and historians about accuracy of its portrayal of the Eastern Front in World War II. An article written for video game website Polygon by Colin Campbell reflecting on the subject stated that the "comments on forums and on Metacritic are testament to the strong feelings that the war still generates". In the same article, it cites the game's director Quinn Duffy who in regards to the creative direction of the first and second game felt that "the second game is painted on a broader canvas", whereas "in contrast, the first game focused on a small group of soldiers and did not seek to take a wider view".

Reception and criticism in Russia
In Russia and Post-Soviet states the game was found offensive by many users and critics for portraying the Red Army commanders as cruel, using their own soldiers in a cold-blooded way, exaggerating brutal war tactics.] After the video made by the Russian blogger BadComedian (real name - Evgeny Bazhenov), thousands of people have signed a Change.org petition demanding Steam to block the game in CIS countries. The petition brands the game as "disgusting". In 2013, the sale of the game was banned in Russia.

Russian game publisher 1C-Softclub stopped distribution of the game on 26 July 2013 due to the strong negative feedback (notably a petition to stop the sale that was filed by the game players). Following the news, the game's publisher SEGA released a statement that they were "taking this issue very seriously and are investigating these concerns thoroughly with all relevant partners".
