Eastern Front Patch 1.70

Eastern Front Patch 1.70
'Red October'

Eastern Front fans,

The new version 1.7.0.0 has been released! It has been 11 months of development and we have a a lot of changes coming, we also have a couple of new members: DMz and Beefy^ which will help us on the soviet and ostheer fronts of the mod. Now, for some details of what the patch contains:

  • The most important achievement from this version is than now Eastern Front has been optimized! Thanks to DMz and Beefy^ now Eastern Front mod will use less resources, which means we expect players get a better experience while playing instead of frequent crashes.
  • Soviets now have their own flags in their captured points, which means you won't see that blue flag anymore neither an allied flag. This also applies for Victory Points.
  • Soviets now also have new models for their Firebase emplacement and their Outpost.
  • Jumbo is no more the reward unit for the Calliope, which means the US faction has one less unit as reward, we might add one more or not in the future, although right now we cannot think of anything that fits.
  • New maps, and many changes for the old ones to make sure they stay balanced.
  • New weapon models for soviets, courtesy of inukshuk and eliwood.
  • Soviets now display stats.






Right now we continue working to finnish the Ostheer assets, but now with the help of DMz & Beefy^ it is possible to release both, Ostheer and the revamped Soviet assets on 2.0!








As this version contains huge changes, it wasn't possible to make a patch version for the launcher, so only the full version will be available for this time. We would like to thank players for all the feedback they gave us and to give an apologize for delaying too much for this patch, but I'm sure it will be worth the delay. Also, thanks to our balancers for giving us a hand to have a better balance.

As most of the players know, Eastern Front balance team is small, so something probably have missed us, so remember to give feedback about how you feel the game, what can be done to be improved, what is wrong with the current balance, etc. Anything that can help us to improve Eastern Front, but don't forget to bring up replays or screenshots, according to the report you will do, to back up your suggestions.

Remember, Ostheer beta is closer, stay tunned and see you in the battlefield!

Hrmm that lovely T-34/85 with bedsprings looks very nice... Will that be an available upgrade or come standard on all T-34/85s?

Be aware that Crusaders were a fairly last minute addition and haven't been balanced much yet. They'll be looked into ASAP.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

Do the RMC get the possibility of choosing between Achilles and Firefly? I was really hoping to see a return of the Firefly for the RMC. And is it possible to add some extra download locations? Neither of the three listed in this post is working for me...

Oh yes, I forgot: great work!

I personally thank all Balance team one by one who spent their valuable time, worked like crazy day and night just to improve the gameplay to a higher competitive level. They didn't just play the game for fun, took the case seriously like a job, fought each other like hell but for all done for the sake of the game. I'm proud to be part of this guys.

DarcReaver ( change your PC pls ), Killar ( he's a kind of Dexter ), GodlikeDennis ( timezone diff can't stop him ), CranialWizard ( he survived from a tornado ffs ), Glimmerman ( Pizzaboy ) and JBConquerer ( he is not Justin Bieber, really ).

Hope you enjoy the game guys. Don't forget to follow our Twitchtv streams ;)

Thanks Riggs!

I would also thank every balancer for his time and effort which they did put into the soviet faction. Without you there would have been no patch. Also thanks for the propaganda casts and nice games with you Riggs!
