The gameplay demo for Company of Heroes 2 opens with Russian soldiers trudging through thick snow, raising their arms and their rifles to clear room for their knees to rise. The improved animations get across just how arduous this new terrain type can be, and showcase the passion and attention to detail developer Relic has for the real-time strategy genre. In Company of Heroes 2, every soldier acts like an individual – watchful, energized, alive. They prefer to walk on roads instead of pushing through slush, attempt to dodge bullets, scream when fire heads their way and throw themselves against the ground when an explosion mangles the man beside them.
