To this day Relic has not issued any sort of apology for what is clear racism. The game often portrayed the Nazis as the victims and the Soviets as anti-human aggressors… despite them trying to liberate their own country from the Nazis.

It was the first Company of Heroes game that wasn’t about heroes, but was instead focused on horrors of war.

This was due to the implicit racism in the game. Russians turned on Metacritic and made consistent low ball scores to bring down it’s total rating. The game was also not without controversy. When it launched you only had two factions to choose from for multiplayer, super awesome Nazi death ball, or Soviets who run into bullets.

But everyone knew Company of Heroes 2 had some serious problems with it. And when it came out, it was the biggest disappointment of the century. Company of Heroes 2 was no doubt the most anticipated game of the century.
