Tales of Valor

Heard that COH Tales of Valor was not that good, so what do you think?

It's pretty cool, i guess. But it would have been better as some kind of downloadable content, not as a full add-on. And it's too expensive. I would pay more for something like this mod then tales of valor.

It was "decent"..

I'm not really sure where Relic were trying to go with it, the Tiger Ace campaign is a lot of fun, but after that the other mini campaigns just don't feel like CoH.

Running round with the uber paratroopers shooting everything in the face just doesn't feel at home with the game. And the added macho airborne voiceover actually had me and my mates laughing  ;D

Point is, I suppose, it feels very...hollywood, and not in a good way.

Also, the direct fire feature, while quite cool when in a tank, feels abit tacked on, and isn't anyway near as good as how its done in Soldiers/Men of War etc.

The new units are a nice addition, and being able to swap out different units for skirmishes is pretty cool, although I normally only use the Hellcat, the Staghound (because I cant stand the command tank) and the Geshutzwagen.

I mean its not bad, just not a patch on the last two

The new units are pretty pants... novelty wore off quickly with them. It certainly wasn't worth the money they were asking...

Plus now the community seems to be able to make new units. That people would actually like too. The novelty will ware off even quicker I would imagine.

I also second the idea that (once its fully completed) I'd much rather pay money for something like EF than Tales of Valor  :)

Oo and I'm now a "Guard", I feel rather accomplished  :P

well it was fun for few hours but how u guys previously said I'd much rather pay money for something like EF than Tales of Valor .actually can't understand  what relic was thinking with realising TOV without russians ,everyone who plays coh was waiting for Russians and eastern front campaign since  COH was released..  so i will just say i am very dissapointed with TOV. :(

Developers have sacrificed alot of their own money for this mod, so donations are always welcome.

Then why are you  guys making us have it?? I mean it is so pointless now i have to spend what 25 bucks for it just so i can get this?? Also i don't have it and i downloaded the blitzkrieg mod and I got all the units on there? I thought it was weird but i just went with it. Cant you guys do that?

ford_prefect, we have never said that Tales of Valor is required to run Eastern Front.

Yes but i herd a developer say "to get the full experience"
so does this mean that some new troop skins are from TOV?

I have no idea what you mean. Which dev said  you need ToV "to get the full experience"?

It doesn't matter. As long as you have the latest patch the models from TOV are still available to you.
