Starcraft2 did add only slightly more units to the factions, bug fixes,... . It mostly improved the graphics. Thats what i want for coh2 too.
Ofc the Worldbuilder would be very happy about some new objects aswell ;)

And mappers gonna map! :D

...I'd rather be reading patch notes and doing more shoutcasts rather than reading some useless shit about SOPA or CoH2.

Because of SOPA your shoutcast would become illegal and you could be fined and face jail time for them, not to mention they'd be deleted.

My point is that when I log onto here, especially the announcement page, I come on to see progression and news about EF, not to see shit that I can get information about elsewhere.  Talking about that stuff here is useless.  Anyone who wants to make a difference in SOPA or anyone who wants to bitch to Relic about what kind of game they want won't make a difference posting here.  Now unless I've been misinformed, the balance was already done 100% a while ago, with no further changes needed.  Someone must be wanking.

Or maybe someone just have stuff to do in RL and cannot release the patch because it has not enough time for this hobby ::). Be patient lad, the patch is not going to be released any faster no matter how many times you keep writing the same thing over and over.

I'm not here to nag.  Do I sound a bit over-aggressive?  Probably, but that's just the way I am.  But the truth is, I'm just stating the ugly facts that no one wants to hear.  Someone has to do it.

[...] Someone must be wanking.
Undoubtedly this is something I won't want to hear, it is ugly indeed but no where near of a "fact". If the patch is delayed everyone should suspect what are the reasons behind it, especially if everyone knows that we were working to release the patch at Eastern Front anniversary.

Then again, no matter how much you want the patch to be released right now, that we stop working on whatever we are doing right now to finish it ASAP, it ain't going to happen. Real life is always priority, so no matter if the patch is 200% ready, it will need to wait a little longer until someone has some free time to pack it up. That's the general rule of EF and any other mod.

Yeah, immature ad hominem are uncalled for. Seriously, we can understand your frustration, but I'm sure keeping it civil isn't beyond your comprehension. These announcements have zero impact on the development process, you may think they are useless, but that's entirely subjective.
Whoever told you a while ago that the patch was 100% obviously doesn't fully understand the development process. The Dev team rarely, if ever, gives out percentages as mod development time is erratic. We could get 90% done in a week, then spend another 5 months on the remaining 10%, depending on who is available, what needs done, and how much time they have to dedicate. As Bish said... Patch could be 200% finished, but it means squat if there's nobody about to pack it up and distribute it.

Aye I'm sure the Dev's have lives and also I think though I'm not sure of this but aren't a few of them also working/helping with other mods.

The patch is released when it is released, same with the Ostheer. And the way I look at it the most time spent on the patch the better it is going to be with minimum to no bugs, wouldn't you rather have a buggy game that crashes every second you try to play or would you rather have a game with the odd bug here and there but otherwise perfectly fine.

My point being go easy on the Dev's they are doing a great job.
They come for our blood but drown in their own!

I think some of them act as translators for other mods but not direct animating and programing :P

Here's another ugly fact you might not want to hear: You don't pay these guys by the hour and probably haven't even made a donation. So the truth is, you need to fuck off.

Someone had to do it.

Ughhhh.....its going to be another one of those days, isnt it? ::).

Before you say anything Yauz, consider its aftermath (Im not saying your wrong). Feeding a flame (or a forest fire in this case) is never a good idea.

And to slapstick: There are MUCH better ways of saying
So the truth is, you need to fuck off.

Please, dont intice fights. This is a mod, not a flame session  ::). Even if Yauz is a bit aggresive, no need to use such language :-X. And not everyone is in a financial position to donate or wants to donate.

Everyone just forget this and go back to talking about COH2 please  :P

I apologize and I check in on the site all the time and wasn't at all offended by the SOPA post. It's relevant to everyone on the internet. But the last thing a small team of modders need is unappreciative people. Posting under the guise of "It's the truth and someone had to say it" did nothing to make it any less insulting in my mind. It would of been less insulting to just admit you're frustrated in waiting.

We would appreciate if everyone returns to the real topic ;D... otherwise post are going to be deleted...

I just hope the next CoH will have better modding support :).
