Company of Heroes: Eastern Front is out

The badasses of WWII have finally come to CoH. If you haven't already, check out the website: http://easternfront.org/

This will be a must to anyone playing CoH. The vanilla factions haven't been changed - the mod (expansion rather ;P) simply adds the Soviet Union as a playable faction in a flurry of badassery. New models, new skins, new sounds + much more

I CAN'T WAIT!

PS: It's free

So it doesn't copy over existing factions? Also is there a SP campaign?

It doesn't copy over any existing factions. As far as single player - a campaign is in the works. You can play skirmish/multiplayer all you want, however.

This is a free mod - it's been in the making for three years. The quality of work that was put into it makes it on-par with any expansion relic would have made.

Doh a mod. The idea sounds cool, but... There will be thousands of bugs, I'm sure.

I'mreally looking forward to this mod. Company of heroes is a great series, but it just feels a little empty without the easter front aswell. And the latest expansion pack, i felt was a lazy production. Something that makes me more thrilled about this mod.

Now if only they somehow manages to bring the Italians and Japaneese into the game, it's perfection.

Will it happen? Most likely not.

Yeah it would be nice to the Italians and Japanese into the game - there's so much potential with these two in terms of unit diversity and doctrines. Like you said we'll have to wait and hope.

The Ostheer will be coming in later for the Eastern Front mod, so we'll have a third german faction sometime this year (hopefully) :D

Holy moly this looks frigging awesome. This and the Zombie mod are going to bring me back to CoH for a while....

Ah, I love PC gaming.

Wow, can't wait. Bring new life into an already amazing game. Even after all this time the graphics in COH and gameplay have not become outdated one bit.

Mod is now officially out! Go to easternfront.org to download.

Awesome. Downloading now.
Linked for the lazy. :P

Tiiiight. Grabbin it now.

Meh, a mod, don't like mods.

And if you dont have COH youre in luck because steam is having a sale and you can get the complete COH pack for like 14 dollars or each individual game for 5$!

Why do I feel it was no accident? Whoever is responsible for this is pro.

Awesome, downloading now. Does this also add a new campaign? Or is just just for skirmish?

Moddin CoH isn't very easy. Relic doesn't supply you with awesome tools or give too much support. It was a pretty big endeavor to make a new faction and add it in like an expansion pack. Give the mod a go - there's a lot of stuff you won't be able to judge about the mod just from looking at youtube videos.

if it took them 3 years to make the stuff im seeing in those youtube videos.... seriously WHAT!? it is just a bunch of reskins... nothing new at all. looks like total garbage.

No need to knock it until you actually try it. Especially if its going to be an unsubstantiated claim based on a youtube video. It is a free download provided you have the game already so you've got nothing to lose unless your bandwidth limits suck. Also, as people mentioned here, modding CoH is hard and all...... and oh yeah. There's also the fact that it was a freaking mod team that made the content for the community for free. Them taking 3 years have alot to do with the fact that there pretty much doing it for free and that they can't invest the vast portion of thier lives into making this project. Especially something as ambitious as theres.

and the voice acting? how hard is it? find someone that can read a script, and have them talk into the microphone.

the gun sounds and the voice acting were probably the LEAST labor intensive part of this mod. the mod is still, however, a reskin and does not add any new units, functionality, or reason to exist. yes i downloaded the mod....

yes i removed the mod an hour later after seeing exactly what i thought, just a reskin of old units... nothing more.
