Congratulations Dev team, you should all be proud of yourselves a very fun mod ;D ;D ;D
-
Great !!!! ;D
-
Fantastic!!
On behalf of myself and my friends who are looking forward to playing EF, I extend my gratitude for all the hardwork and dedication.
I look forward to seeing it on the 21st!
Happy new year guys.
-
Happy New Year everyone. News of the day the release date. :)

Glad we'll finally all be able to see what you've been brewing up these last two years.

Nice work guys pat yourselves on the back and break out the fine russian vodka ;D
-
YYYEYYEYEYAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHH its incredible news
-
Great news, comrades!
-
finally.
-
Very exciting news and very happy to be a part of this great mod!
-
Well, seeing as we've all demonstrated we could wait awhile,
we would all been fine if you held it up, developped Ostheer
and balanced it well against Soviets and other factions. We're
fine waiting till 2015 if needed for a complete, balanced
product with proper models and a dazzling long campaign
with CGI animations! ;)
I am certain I speak for every fan here :)
- Don't be pressured into releasing it until it's complete,
and PERFECT! :)
Happy New Year everyone! :)
: Vote on modbb for the best 2009 mod? :)
-
Great work guys! ;D
I wish you a happy New Year and a strong breath to come down the stretch ;)
-
Damnit, I am very excited for everyone else that the mod is going to be out on a definite date ( because I'm a nice guy.) but it is too bad that the date given is two days after I leave for basic training followed by MCT and up to a year and a half of MOS school. Loup, who joke about not playing until 2015, may not be too far off for me. Oh well, I saw this coming I have no one to blame but Chesty Puller.
-
Actually Loupblanc, you don't speak for everyone and you certainly don't speak for me.
I think it's the right time to bring it out. Even if it's just the Russian faction. That's what we've all been waiting for anyway, we already have two German factions it's not a big a priority.
Company of Horoes is slowly becoming an old game, and there will be other RTS's that come out. Now is the time to bring something playable to the table before it's too late. They have worked hard for a very longtime and if they release it now we can all be part of the balancing and development process.
I look forward to the 21st!
-
OH YES!...finally
-
"Actually Loupblanc, you don't speak for everyone and you certainly don't speak for me."
can you give me a quote of him saying this? I'm sorry but I know him rather well and that does not sound like him can I have a quote?

Very good news! Can't wait to play it.

How do you put a Mod into your game? I've never put one on my game, I tried but it failed.
-
Great job well done :) tumbs up!

This will come with an installer when its released.
-
I am quite sure everyone here wants EF to be perfect.
No bugs, smooth balanced play, Ostheer in and balanced,
awesome long, CGI-supported campaigns...
Take your time, guys :) We can wait.
True awesome art shouldn't be rushed ;)

thats what patches are for ;)

Thanks for the release date
Since the release date of Company of Heroes I was searching for Red Army mods and I gave up.. before 1 or 2 weeks I've installed CoH and searched again and found this and I'm really happy for it but I got few questions
1)How it will affect the multiplayer?(I mean will we be able to still play with the basic units (with no mod))
2)Is there a new sounds for german and russian units?
3)Will it work for people who don't have Opposing Fronts or Tales of Valor?
4)Related to the first one - Is there any option to enable the mod or disable it (everytime we get into the game) ?
Thank you very much :)
-
Shhh!
No, team has not seen fit to release and use patches up
till now. We shall NOT stand for patches! We want a COMPLETE
professionally finished product :)
Soviets + Ostheer, tested, final draft, balanced, perfect in
every way. + Campaign with CGI and hollywood actors for
voices :)
We shall not accept a release until them.
Guys, don't cheapen your work! :D

AND LOUP FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SHUT UP!

Devilzzx : Read the FAQ. ALL questions answered there :D
Ford_Prefect : I speak for everyone when I say we WANT
to wait another 14 years for this mod. Only when it is
ABSOLUTELY at it's most patched perfect should you
ever, ever release it publictly ;)

not even a Communist should use the words "we ALL want"!
-
When I asked for mod to be released, you not happy.
When I say mod doesn't exist and will never be released,
you not happy.
When I say, fine. Don't bow down to pressure, and take the
time to make the mod really, intensely perfect before releasing
, you are not happy. Why? :)

Loups just trollin :P

@DeVilzZx
The Russian have their custom sounds yes, and for the Germans you will have to download lorankorn's sound mod. It has modified German and Allied sounds, nearly every one of them.
-
A Canadian military veteran as a sound technician for EF?
-
Oh-oh, you have found me... :)
I am retired as you can see. Having a great time on the sunny island of Gran Canaria, sipping ice cold drinks on my balcony overlooking the marina 8) .... and thinking about new sound ideas ( along with how in hell to make ends meet with a woefully small pension I get) .
So I am making sound mods for now. Killing time is a priority or I would be sipping too many ice cold drinks ;)
-
lorankorns sounds.. great man.. :D
-
Nothing but the best denky_groove ;D
But seriously...its gonna rock you'll see. The customs models are fantastic and my sounds hopefully give them that extra touch.

Happy New Year everyone and oh what great news it brings!
Congrats to the dev team on some serious hard work that's about to pay off. Looking forward to the 21st and doing my best to get others on board with EF MANIA!
-
awesome news: thats for scruff
-
OH GOD BLESS YOU ;D ;D
-
Thank you for all your hard work it IS appreciated and looking forward to the release!!
-
Thanks for all your work everyone on the team.
I'm going to go an find company of heroes opposing fronts so i can play british vs russian or something :P
Just a question, what size will the mod download be?
-
I think they've said around 450-500mb :)
-
Actually, you should get TOV so you get British AND
REWARD Units ;)
-
I think they've said around 450-500mb :)
Hi,
Read somewhere it was 1.3 GB at the Beta stage .At release ?...

Hmm, dont think so, CoH mods aren't usually that big. Perhaps that was an uncompressed version...

Hi,
Look for Mystics quote, http://hq-coh.com/forum/index.php/topic,17185.990.html (http://hq-coh.com/forum/index.php/topic,17185.990.html) , Its in german .
Also mein EF Ordner hat ne Größe von 1.3 GB.

Other CoH mods usually don't contain thousands of extra sound files either :P
I think maps may come packed seperately... so that saves on some d/l space.
-
Haha, that could well explain it ;D
-
I dont think maps generally take up much space. Though this is based on playing mod maps online on a game called Crysis, and they take 1 min to download roughly. And im on a average internet speed. Might be COH maps are bigger though, but Crysis is seriously detailed so i dont know.
-
Ah ha, here it is, I was sure I hadn't just made that figure up...

Closer to 500mb..."

Ach well, however big it is, I'm sure there'll be plenty of downloads :)
-
I'm gonna kick the a** of Santa claus, he didn't gave me EF the 25th of December ... >:( >:(
No seriously great job guys !
After the russians and the Ostheer which army will be added ?
France, Italia, JAPANNNNN !! ^^
-
I was hoping the Belgian army or maybe Luxembourg :)

so slow, i have waited for almost 2 years and the game has been uninstalled, although i will try to reinstall it again >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Cry, cry, a normal game is developed in more than 2 years with professional employees. I think 2 years is acceptable. And uninstalling your game is your own fault.
-
Wow, if that's the culmination of your problems, you should try making a mod for free and in your spare time with whingey bitches demanding release dates and telling you your slow... ::)
-
you right burro next time they ask send them to me ill give them an answer they will never forget =]

I'm just copying Tim's post :)
-
I'm just verry happy to see release date and can't wait to download it and try out.
Once again, my compliments for the general idea (was also my, but I don't have these skils to make a mod).

Simple solution. Make your own mod? Lets see how long that takes you? And as some-one above said, 2 years for a game is reasonable if your being PAID FULL TIME to produce it. That usually consists of a team of a hundred people or more to make a game. Its alright if they are working on it everyday of every week, but the guys who made this mod do it in their spare time. Be grateful you have a mod to play on when its released in a few days time.
-
How could I ,or anyone, be angry with the developers at this point. Their product is awesome, their release date is definite and the community is generally friendly. I am only mad at the Marine corps for shipping me out two days before the release. Not your fault, but theirs.
Great Idea! Release the mod three days in advance to surprise the audience and bring joy to all!

Hey guys, i've never put a mod on my Company of Heroes game before, how do you it? Because i really want this mod but i don't want to screw it up. Please Respond ASAP
-
Eastern Front will ship with an auto-installer. If you managed to install Company of Heroes, then this will be easy.
-
Hi every one,
You've done a really good job for this mod, can't wait too see it installed on my pc xD
I was wondering about the distribution on the internet of the mod..will it be hosted on certain websites? Cos i was thinking, why not put it on a torrent file, so it will be much faster to be downloaded...what do you think about it?
-
Totally for the idea of a Torrent.
Steam might want the release to be their exclusive domain ;)

uhhh give me some back ground information on that please
-
Cos if you think about it, the only thing you should have to do if you decide to distribute it via torrent, is simply host the torrent file(which is actually no more than 200kbyte) and keep your pc with utorrent, vuze, bittorrent etc.. opened and that's it! easy and helpfull. Also if you decide to host it(the torrent i mean) on certain websites like thepiratebay, ok i know tpb = piracy but in this case it's not piracy because the mod is for free, so free to be distributed. An other point is if you go for thepiratebay you would surely increase download hits so: file faster to be downloaded, no costs, and you dont have to stay on seeding life long, but the most important thing is ->visibility = many downloads = the mod will survive.
ps: i mentioned thepiratebay cos it's the biggest but it can be any website..
-
I 100000% agree with EasyWinHunt3r :)
Let torrents do something legal for once, and yea,
visibility is GOOD!

1 VOTE for you boys:D ::)

Hey guys!
Thanks again for all the effort put into this mod :D
I do have what might seem like a pedantic question, lol... but my friends and I were wondering what time (and in what time zone that time is) the mod will be released?
Us Australian fans can be up to 12hours infront of our American/European buddies and we are planning on having a massive Eastern Fronts lan!
I hope everyone feels for the fact that while you will get EF on your 21st, it'll likely be very early morning on the 22nd for us Aussies! hehe
Anyways, cheers in advance!
-
I don't think we are going to say the exact time for a number of reasons:
1. We might miss it and look silly
2. Thousands of people will be sat waiting for it, and as soon as it appears on the site - bam! Server explodes.
-
Thank you Warty for your answer regarding to ForceMultiplier's question!
But I have another one...and it is nearly pedantic as the previous question ;)
What are you (the developers) doing in the last days before you release your majestic opus? Are you still working on it?
Thanks in advance!
-
Actual work on the mod finished yesterday. We now have a finished product, but are packaging it up ready for release and sending it to press publications worldwide.

great loup said it was gonna come out on the 25th ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
Eh. I'll be able to tell you with certainty when it gets released... after it is (hindsight being 20/20). This being
said, trying to stay cool and not think about it :)
Wish you'd set torrents up, though.
As well, smart thing. To spread the release around
to public servers before gates get opened ;)
- Ohh Aussie massive Lan ?
Isn't that intranet though?
