I know there are a number of CoH players here on the forums, so I thought I'd mention it.

By the way, for those not in the loop, Opposing Fronts is the upcoming CoH "stand alone expansion", due to release in November, I believe.

EDIT: The download is 1.5 gigs and I'm looking at 4-5 hours w/ the Fileplanet DL Manager.

Gay. Anyway, I hope they fix the vehicle pathfinding, it was no improvement from DoW-CoH... should be to OF.

Oooooh, so tempting, but I think I'll wait for the real deal. I wanna play it in all its completed glory.

It was one of their top priorities. I heard through the grapevine (I'm quite active on the GR.org CoH forums) that they actually fired the guy who coded the original pathing, and they're now adding (at the very least) simple formations.

Also, weather and day/night cycles, destructable forests, a buttload of audio/visual improvements, tweaked infantry AI, tons of good stuff. Haven't had a chance to play yet. I'll report in as soon as I do.

Wow thats pretty cool... CoH was awesome EXCEPT for the vehicles, whenever I could I'd just play infantry and support... But that didn't last long, I ended up having to individually move units through some maps..

Guy deserved firing >.<

Yeah, I did. I believe forests are now as destructable as everything else (which is to say, totally) ... as soon as I can confirm, I will. Downloading a 300+ mb patch atm.

Damn skippy. Vehicle pathing was by FAR the worst aspect of CoH.

I haven't been able to play. When I try to connect to a game, I get &quot;Cannot Connect to All the Players&quot;. Apparently, it's a common prob atm. Might have to wait for a patch before I can get my game on.

Still no love. I've been trolling the beta forums, and it seems to be a massively widespread issue. It sometimes takes between 20-30 minutes to find a game, and if it's not a 1v1, it's then another 15 or so minutes waiting for the game to fill. I don't have that kind of time to waste, no matter how much I want to play. I'd rather put in a few rounds of Zombie Master or something.

I try once or twice a day, for 5-10 minutes at a time. So far no dice. If and when Relic fixes the netcode, I'll be there with bells on.
