While I'm ranting about patches I figured I'd say something about the new patch for Company of Heroes. It seems that a ton of people couldn't get it to work. After a day's worth of fooling with the thing I finally got it to work myself. It adds a few maps and changes the interface to be more internet friendly, it even goes so far as to change some of the sounds.
It also seems to add the full version of Opposing Fronts. There is a catch though...you still need the CD Key to play it. How cool it will be to buy the game, put in the CD Key and get to playing without having to wait on the installation.;)
