New Steam Version vs. Legacy Edition

[

edit

]

The New Steam Version (included alongside the original THQ release, now referred to as the Legacy Edition) has all the multiplayer components modified to use Steamworks, as the original multiplayer servers are no longer available. Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor count as DLC and do not require any extra downloads.

They are purchased together on Steam, as the Legacy Edition was kept to maintain compatibility with classic mods.

Expansion pack
The expansion packs are advertised as standalone releases that are mutually compatible online with the base game and each other. In reality, they are the same game with different segments available to the player, but with all files on all players’ computers. Full access to all content requires a valid respective serial key (retail versions/Legacy Edition) or ownership on the player’s Steam account.

One-time game purchase
The game requires an upfront purchase to access. The base game includes multiplayer access to the United States and Wehrmacht factions, as well as singleplayer campaigns.
