Eastern Front Release Date

[WartyX]

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

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!

Hey guys!

Thanks again for all the effort put into this mod

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.
