Be careful, though, because things are not always what they seem. Well, if you've ever spent any time hunkered down in a virtual fox hole dreaming about the day you could shake off the mud and take a leadership role, your time has come with Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, a stand alone expansion (isn't that the same as saying sequel?) to the original Company of Heroes. “Johnson! Take out that machine gun!” “Johnson! Grab that Panzerfaust and stop those tanks!” “Johnson! We'll wait here while you clear out that bunker, find the secret documents, learn to read German and decrypt them, fashion a rudimentary radio out of shell casings and a coffee can, and call in artillery.” One could certainly be forgiven for thinking the burden of the entire Allied effort had been placed on one pair of shoulders, while the Sergeants, Captains, and Generals just stood by and watched. I'm sure a lot of people wondered “What's that supposed to mean?” the first time they heard the US Army's “Army of One” tag line, but anyone that has played Call of Duty will know exactly what it means.
