Ok so let me see if i get this right since i got COH1 as gift
The 1st Original COH1 give you wehrmacht and american factions and the invasion of normandy campaign(only 2 so,they call them Axis and Allies simple)
The 2nd one Opposing Fronts give you brit and panzer elite,with their own campaign(but you had purchase that to get those)
the 3rd and the final one Tales of Valor give you full access to all 4 factions as well as 3 short story campaign right?also customized unit in multiplayer(only had to buy the aother 2 for the campaign story).(Kind of like the COH2 collection edition)full package,i don't know if relic give COH1 player who buy the 1st one free access to all expansion content,if they don't then that just like coh2,those that buy the 1st COH2 still had to paid more for expansion stuff or play cheap and only buy the thing you like.
So i would said both game cake or piece ,it the same.You had to paid to play or wait for a few years then buy the collection edition when they done creating new stuff .Only different for me is COH2 is a more soild game with more new features.But COH1 did a better job at the story line campaign,even when it is short
You're really too young to understand the basic logic behind selling a standalone expansion then.
CoH had 2 Armies and a long campaign.
Opposing Fronts had 2 Armies and 2 medium sized campaigns, also the first German campaign featured in any game really.
Tales of Valor gave you all 4 Armies, 3 mini short campaigns and 2 optional units for each Army, so the only thing you needed the other expansions here was for their campaigns.
However, those were FULL PACKAGES, not sliced into DLC.
In CoH 2 you have the base game which delivers 2 shitty Armies with a shitty long campaign and around 20 shitty commanders.
It's first expansion, the Western Front Armies gives you 2 arguably great Armies, no campaign, and 6 commanders in total our of which only 5 are good, nobody uses Airborne company as USF.
The British Forces gives you 1 Army, no campaign and 3 Commanders out of which only 1 is good, that being the Royal Engineers one.
Ardennes Assault gives you a campaign sort of like Dawn of War Dark Crusade and Soulstorm or the Total War game campaigns where you click on a territory to fight for and capture it, plus an optional 5 dollar OP company DLC for it to make things easier, no multiplayer content.
Then you have the large amounts of skins and premium commanders that are 5 dollars a piece.
If that sounds fair and good business to you then we have nothing more to talk about, it's just that your age is showing really badly and what acceptable to you is really twisted.
