LOTS OF FUN AND GREAT LEARNING TOOL

Worth before buying COH3
Verified purchase
Great learning experience to start with COH2, the tutorials which are great for gaining skills. Furthermore, it gives you an idea of the game prior to moving on to COH3 which just came out recently. Fanatical gives you the options to purchase a the base game at a low price to try it.
