Crickey, the enemy AI has gone up a couple of notches with that new patch! They're actually competitive now in skirmishes.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Normally the AI will 'allow' me to easily mass up PE STG44 + Panzershrek squads, offensive vet them right up and create a infantry blob of death but I installed the patch and all of a sudden they spam out snipers ( not 2 or 3 but 8-10!!), call in lots of Rangers, straff runs and produce lots of MG's. I could not even leave my main base without losing an entire squad to a pack of snipers

Normally with 3 other good players Hochwald Gap is fairly easy to win against 4 experts, last night we got pwned in about 10 minutes! :eek:

I pre-ordered TOV but its not even been dispatched yet, I thought the UK release date was today?

Can anyone confirm that a TOV retail key works in steam?

I have both others on steam and was waiting to see the price, No way im paying that, I still have vouchers left over from xmas

Is this better to get Retasil or in steam?

I like the idea of steam these days but is it really that bad on it? Surely the patching being auto is easyer?

I for one love Steam now. It is so cool having everything in one place and not having to worry about swapping CDs and stuff like that

Thats why id like it on steam
but can you still add maps mods and other stuff and why is evryone hationg COH with steam? :confused:

Because recently the patching has been awful for it, patches that were 95MB had Steam downloading the entire thing again or much more than it should have. Also just get the game from the cheapest place, if you already own CoH of any kind on Steam you can log into your Relic account and access all of the games tied to your account.

OMG FFS ANOTHER PATCH, i am getting ****ed off with steam now :mad:

i swear they patched it 2 weeks ago :mad:

AndyBurnes · 10 Apr 2009 at 13:44

Do we have a Steam Community group for CoH? Getting back into the game with this new expansion, and really want to play Stonewall (AI Assault Survival) with 'proper' players.

If you want to add me in-game, plug in AndyB.

domthecondom add me

AndyB i'll add you but don't be shocked at how poo i am at this game

AndyBurnes · 10 Apr 2009 at 14:09

If you can understand that a sniper is needed to kill an AT gun you're fine by me.

Amnesia · 10 Apr 2009 at 15:13

do i need coh to play this or is it standalone ?

OzZie · 10 Apr 2009 at 15:16

Standalone, although i'm not totally sure how they all mix together in terms of campaigns and game modes etc.

AndyBurnes · 10 Apr 2009 at 15:54

ToV will give you all four 'races,' plus all the maps. The only thing missing will be the single-player campaigns from the original and OF addon.

If you got a mic just be like DOM YOU IDIOT GET A SNIPER UP THERE

Will_3rd · 10 Apr 2009 at 15:58

Pre-ordered this the other week, looking forward to playing when I get back up north.

Especially with the direct control feature, reminds be a bit of Soldiers: Heroes of WWII.

I'll hold you to that!

P.S. Steam community account.

Well that wasnt easy. Havent got tales of valor (yet) but spent all day downloading and installing that patch.

RaMDOM · 11 Apr 2009 at 10:18

Well I got the game last Wednesday

I love anything to do with this game, and this expansion is more than welcome. However as far as I can see they have done more for the single player than the MP content. The new units are welcome and I will look forward to how the multiplayer landscape changes with these. However overall, for an expansion the content is a little on the shallow side and there is not much of it.

Don't get me wrong - I love it however for 25 quid (what the shops and some sites are selling it for (I got it for 15 by preordering months ago from a site that is now selling it for 25!!!)) I feel it may not fair well in the reviews. I reckon about 70-80% based on the lack of content only, not the quality... but we will see. :rolleyes:

domthecondom · 11 Apr 2009 at 22:52

MY game keeps crashing because of the updated :S

MumboJumbo · 11 Apr 2009 at 23:45

do u get anything extyra other then singleplayer stuff if u already own coh + OF because im presuming when you download the patch youll get all the maps and the new mp things and seens as they havn't added a new faction there is actually no reason to really buy this because well... do you buy coh games for the sp?
