Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor Arrives via Digital Distribution, Impulse Offers Slight Savings

Related Topics – Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor, Steam, Impulse, PC, Direct2Drive

If hoofing it down to the local game store isn't your cup of tea, you'll be pleased to learn that you can now buy and install Relic's Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor (PC) from the comfort of your computer chair. Just hit up Steam, Impulse, or Direct2Drive.

The Impulse version carries a $2 discount, making it $28, while Steam and Direct2Drive are selling the stand-alone expansion at the suggested price point of $30.

Also available this week from ye olde brick and mortar shops, Tales of Valor brings new units, missions, and multiplayer modes to the World War II strategy series. However, it does not require you to own either of the two previous Company of Heroes titles.

Quick questions:

1. If I bought the Digital version on Steam, where do I get the newly released patch?

2. If I bought the Digital version on Steam, will I still be able to use the new vehicles and units when firing up my Retail copies of Company of Heroes (Main game & expansion)??
