Title: Company of Heroes: Eastern Front gone gold!
Post by: Apex on January 18, 2010, 11:10:35 PM
All Development is now completed for our first release of Company of Heroes: Eastern Front. All that is left now is integrating our already proven and tested launcher, packing the release version into an installer and uploading it. Everything is going according to plan, and nothing is in the way of releasing on the 21st of January.

To get you guys a little more excited, here are some of are new unit cards - they use actual ingame models:

Some relevant information about our 1.0 release: It can be run with either CoH, OF, ToV, any combination or all of them. It can be used with the steam based installation. We will release EF 1.0 with an auto-installer and a game-launcher, which will also automatically check for updates.

Three years of development. Now it's only three more days! See you on the 21st!

Company of Heroes is by far the best RTS game Ive played, Probably the best WW2 game I've ever played. Now with the Russians coming in its gonna get even better. Thank you Eastern Front team for making this possible.

One more thing since you guys are putting in new factions, sorry if this sounds stupid, but have you guys ever thought of adding the Japanese in for the Axis? An additional front?

I think since it's titled "Eastern Front", It's going to be Russians and Ostheer only.

Well keep going east and you will hit Japan  ;D

Anyways, the devs are only going to add the Soviets and the Ostheer

The "Dev´s" are going only to add the Soviets at Release 1.0 ;)

Ostheer will be added later.

Tbh back then years ago when it first started... I was very sceptical and said "well, lets see" and I am darn glad that my scepticism was proven wrong. So many mods have been started, so many mods have died after a while... Glad EF isnt one of them.

I was most excited about the last bit of Info:

Cant wait for thursday!

 Aye. Have been reading on this since it began :) Interesting,
 eh. Nothing happening. Stuff happens in life, lose interest.
 Remember. Come back. Bah, nothing. Come back, ah,
 something new. Eh. When will it ever release? Lots of mods
 die, dropping like flies. Sad. Would love this to work out :)
 
 Now, fast forward to today, and... woah.
 Well, it's still not out, and sometimes it's easier
 being a pessimist. Not get false hopes up, yknow :D
 
 Trying not to think about it overly much. Keeping busy.
 I know how I get when I get excited, lol.
 
 But I'm eager, yea. I think we all are.
 But the best is... ;) ... It's not over. There's more to come!

Woah woah woah, slow down there. Dont let the excitement get to your head. I am willing to say any of the new star wars, but i mean come on, the originals? What's wrong with you?
Title: Re: Company of Heroes: Eastern Front gone gold!
Post by: BurroDiablo on January 19, 2010, 04:34:23 PM
Star Wars is subjective :P

HUZZAH!

Can't wait guys, it looks freakin awesome. Kudos on the hard work. And with thousands of shoutcast views plus more noobs posting on the forums daily asking stupid questions like "are you adding the japanese?"...hey at least word is spreading right!

Cheers to the 21st!
Title: Re: Company of Heroes: Eastern Front gone gold!
Post by: BurroDiablo on January 19, 2010, 05:11:40 PM
Yeah, we pity those noobs. Japanese is Pacific Thunders territory, we'd rather focus on this than step on people toes. Besides, we still have plenty to do, this ain't finished yet, not by a long shot... this is like, the the Beta of the Alpha of the mod we want it to be.

Post by: electroemp on January 19, 2010, 07:20:00 PM
Awesome guys! Very well done! Well some of you other talks about a Japan mod, but something cool would be to add Finlands front! They Finnish people ( and Swedish/Norweigan volounters) gave them a hell with only 30 tanks and 180 airplanes.
Title: Re: Company of Heroes: Eastern Front gone gold!
Post by: Voop_Bakon on January 19, 2010, 07:24:21 PM
I wish people would read around before posting. Finns at best will be a call in unit for the Ostheer. This really needs to be in the FAQ  :P

HI, 
I am a problem about the  Eastern Front , IF I UPDATED to Eastern Front, can I play online with other people who don't have Eastern Front ???


 
Title: Re: Company of Heroes: Eastern Front gone gold!
Post by: ford_prefect on January 20, 2010, 03:21:58 AM
WELL THIS PROBLEM COULD BE SOLVED BY GOING THROUGH I DON'T KNOW SAY 3 PAGES OF MODDB COMMENTS
and no you can't
Title: Re: Company of Heroes: Eastern Front gone gold!
Post by: Loupblanc on January 20, 2010, 05:08:02 AM

 As with all mods, no. You can only play with people who
 have the same mod as you :) (EF). But you can play with
 any core version of the game (basic, EF, gold, TOF,
 Anthologies).

@A21000 - People would read through the post even if it is of regular font and not in bold -Looks a bit intimidating .

My previous speakers are right, please be a trouble to yourself and trawl this forum. It's worth it. ;)

And maybe it is a little bit confusing, but you can play EF and besides this, the 'unmodded' version of COH [equally as ever].

Post by: th3naman on January 21, 2010, 01:18:03 AM
ford, I think you are right, I am betting that just because I keep hitting F5 over and over and over that they will not release until like 11:59pm on 1-21 lol. And I can promise I will still be hitting F5 waiting for a link. I will take tomorrow off work if I don't have the game by then.  ;D
