Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

I was thinking while i was playing COHO, what if the Eastern Front had a similar layout as that of the COHO. Meaning you chose a faction, than a doctrine, then you level up to five different abilities to use in battle, along with the hero and army items. Granted, this would be after CoH: EF, v 2.0, but it might be worth looking into. Other than the serious amount of work needed to make it work, would there be any problems to this idea?

I like CoH (and by extension, EF) the way it is.

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

The biggest problem i see with your idea is -

it would ruin the mod

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

I don't know about items, but if you like the CoHO then you should try the EIR:R mod (Europe in Ruins: Reinforcements mod), its Online multiplayer only, very fun to play (although i don't like the attitude of some of the pros) and quite similar, though much better balanced

I take it people hate this idea, and as such, it should be locked.

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

It's too soon to discard that idea at all... However, we have other things to do like finishing the soviets, release the ostheer, the campaigns and so on.

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

1)We don't have the resources to run what would effectively be 2 mods.
2)Not even sure how COHO modding would work given the micro transactions etc....My guess is that it probably won't.
3) Apex wanted to team up with EiR, but that never took off. Given the conflict of interests between the two mods, that's probably a good thing.

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

If Relic ever fully abandons original CoH, how many of the Devolpment teams for all the mods would try to apply theirs to CoHO?  Is it even possible with their system of using real money to buy upgrades?  Seems like it would be another mountain of work.

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

To be honest, if they are just shutting the game down on them like that, they really should give them the Anthology for free...
#57135

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

Ok, first of all the BETA is closing down, NOT the actual COHO project - Meaning what they've actually done is a limited test run of the COHO model. It could even have been used to test how COH2 will run without reviling details on it...you just don't know. Speculating the actual project is finished is way too premature and a rushed conclusion without any evidence.

Why would that be? Did they pay anything in the first place and need some kind of refund?

Actually they have stated, that this is the end of COHO permanently. Although some elements of COHO may be used in their future projects. And some guys have spend their money on COHO cash...which was buyable through real money. Anyway it doesnt look like its their decision...looks like THQ wants to shut some projects which dont pay much...or at least it seems to me like that...

Don't think so, i'm pretty sure if a new CoH game is going to be released, will feature russians/italians(Eastern Front, North Africa).

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

I don't think CoH 2 would sell well ('cause of the two rather bad add-ons to the first game), - it would require a lot of money, put into commercial, and a lot of effort, put into the game.
Personally, I have doubts about the possibility of CoH 2 any time soon.

Company Of Heroes is still very fresh. A sequel really wouldn't be able to add much. I really doubt it's a sequel as well.

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

Personally, I don't think CoHO was ever intended to be a full game, it was a development exercise to see what they could do to improve the longevity of gameplay. Since they didn't have anything new, they just had to use what the already had. A lot of companies will probably have to go through this in the future as games become more and more difficult, expensive and time consuming to produce. We've already seen DLC leap into games in order to increase longevity AND get some quick money for minimal effort, but this is hard to do with RTS games as we saw with Tales of Valor and the untested balance of new units. Improving the multiplayer aspect of the game to be a larger part of the game, making aspects customisable, letting players get attached to their units is a good way to keep players entertained and increase longevity. We've seen this in FPS games like Black Ops where the main Single Player campaigns can be just a few hours of gameplay and the rest of the game is tied up in the multiplayer aspect since multiplayer has proved to be big money regarding sales.

Reading the CoHO thread, seeing people cry because their high level units are going to be wiped, i'd say Relic have succeeded in creating a prototype multiplayer model that they can add to future games.

Agree.

For something it's like World of Tanks (aaargh my tanks will be wiped on March  :'() where you can buy powerfull upgrade with real cash but WoT was maded specifically for this kind of gameplay (the (in-)famous "pay-for-play").

CoH is not suitable for PFP...for nothing.

Let's will see what Relic do for "our" traditional CoH...
I hope it will not do bul*****.  ;)

One reason I stopped playing WoT for now. I'm not wasting my time on a beta that's just going to reset in a month or so, it's not worth the effort. I hope they do a double or triple Credits/XP period for the first few days when they officially release, I would rejoin WoT quite happily if there were the case, but I do not want to spend a week playing just to get a 37mm for my nublet MS-1.

OT:

I've started to play about 2 weeks, I haven't superpower tanks like IS-7 or Maus; I have StuG, Wespe and today I'll take VK Leopard.
Maybe they wiped all on the first days of March (when my Premium Account goes down).

When I will have to begin playing for GOLD, like in CoH:O...Bye bye!
If the most that I can aspire without paying will be Pz III, I'll play everytime with Pz. III. ;)

Re: Company of Heroes Online Eastern Front??

I'm not actually excited about a possible CoH2. Everything Relic has done since Opposing Fronts, in my eyes, has been an extra step away from what I want a game to be. I hated Dawn of War 2, as well. Would have been quite happy with CoH-style gameplay, rather than this silly Hero and 5 people on the battlefield nonsense.

I think they will try again to be really 'innovative' again, and try to 'reinvent' the RTS genre. Not what I want at all.

Fully agree with that!
Opposing Fronts rather ruined it with the Brits, and to some degree, the Panzer Elite. Tales Of Valor has this stupid "direct-fire" thing, and poorly-implemented reward units. I do very much hope that whatever relic does next, it fixes everything, rather than throw more stuff that doesn't work into the mix...

What Relic should do Before COH2
-Fix COH 1.
-Make another Expansion for COH 1.
-Start Listening to the community for ideas.
