Anyone play COH I'm hooked and have been for years now spend what ever time I have playing it.... theres some good mods as well with more realistic sounds and weapons etc..

I'm using BlitzKried mod at the moment very cool Zimmerite coating on the germans tanks and waffen SS uniforms are really well done..

Think there was a fair following on here a while back. Not sure if people have moved on to other games or CoH2....

definitely missed out. Blitzkrieg makes this game amazing. I can't even play original CoH since. try it out, it's free and you have nothing to lose except endless hours

Yep defo lunarwolf, the original has great maps but is lacking somewhere but blitzkrieg is epic..... I was reluctant to buy COH2 as it was so expensive and finally relented as Steam had an offer but was very disserpointed when I finally bought it as the control system was pants and the troops seemed to just wander off all on their own....

Tales of Valor was a good add on introducing the King Tiger and Hunting tiger.... some good ideas

This happened in Silent Hunter as well in the SH3 in the european theatre it was a great controls system and easy to use and understand but SH4 it became to complicated

Can we post a link for the blitzkreig mod or are we not allowed?

Boycey0211 · 28 Dec 2013 at 18:44

I think you can, as long as its not on a competitor site

Here you go to any one that is interested in spicing up the COH game.

I also tried downloading the Battle of the Bulge mod but could not get it to work for some reason even though I followed the instructions to the letter... has anyone else tried the Bulge mod?

arc@css · 28 Dec 2013 at 19:21

I've downloaded the demo.

Does the Blitzkrieg mod work OK online?? (I tend to play 2 or 3 of us against the AI)

I've had issues recently trying to connect and the only way to make it work was to unselect the units that you get with Tales of Valour and the other add-on!?!?!

Anyone else had this issue?

The best thing to happen to COH (aside from first being created) was the creation of Company of Heroes: Online.

Sadly, it was in Beta and due to THQ's demands, were unable to release with confidence. So THQ pulled it.

Relic then went on to produce COH2 which is a fair sequel, but still not as awesome as COHO. Main downside to COH2 is that you can have in multiplayer Russia vs Russia, or Axis vs Axis... which is not that realistic or fun.

I loved COH and used to play it a lot, barley played 2 hours of COH2 just can't get into it

yes it works online

the reason custom units selected gave a timeout error was with the CoH relaunch version (lots of other bugs too like friends lists etc...). Steam/Relic/Sega have patched it now so having custom units selected shouldn't be a problem anymore

I read somewhere someone is making a mod with weapons that never made it into service before the end of WW2 like the Centurion tank etc that would have given the Tiger a run for its money...

I know what you mean Mike I was the same.....I cant say I have ever played it online as I am not that good just enjoy playing it.....

Boycey0211 · 29 Dec 2013 at 02:58

multiplayer is dead and its the best rts ever made its a tragedy
