Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??
« on: February 01, 2011, 12:37:40 AM »
I was thinking while i was playing COHO, what if the Eastern Front had a similar layout as that of the COHO. Meaning you chose a faction, than a doctrine, then you level up to five different abilities to use in battle, along with the hero and army items. Granted, this would be after CoH: EF, v 2.0, but it might be worth looking into. Other than the serious amount of work needed to make it work, would there be any problems to this idea?

I like CoH (and by extension, EF) the way it is.

I don't know about items, but if you like the CoHO then you should try the EIR:R mod (Europe in Ruins: Reinforcements mod), its Online multiplayer only, very fun to play (although i don't like the attitude of some of the pros) and quite similar, though much better balanced

I take it people hate this idea, and as such, it should be locked.

It's too soon to discard that idea at all... However, we have other things to do like finishing the soviets, release the ostheer, the campaigns and so on.

1)We don't have the resources to run what would effectively be 2 mods.
2)Not even sure how COHO modding would work given the micro transactions etc....My guess is that it probably won't.
3) Apex wanted to team up with EiR, but that never took off. Given the conflict of interests between the two mods, that's probably a good thing.

As far as i know, Company Of Heroes Online is shit. Why would you want to ruin 'proper' Company Of Heroes?

If Relic ever fully abandons original CoH, how many of the Devolpment teams for all the mods would try to apply theirs to CoHO?  Is it even possible with their system of using real money to buy upgrades?  Seems like it would be another mountain of work.
