Company of Heroes #97 - Europe In Ruins Showcase

[loocsiyeltsakcir]

I got to go with the Eastern Front mod. Its MUCH more balanced. Blitzkrieg's damage system is stale and too luck reliant. Same stuff really and everything gets killed in such large numbers units have no worth.

@djandy1987 Don't pirate games, any errors you experience will not be supported.

[gjskjhdnfgjsdhnfdf]

how can i get company of heroes in the internet

KrebsCOHO

[KrebsCOHO]

@gjskjhdnfgjsdhnfdf Steam

[cygan898]

So its kinda like a Total War game but without the Grand Campaign?

[iLikeC00kieDough]

@cygan898 No.

[RudySanErik]

Best mod ever 

[mburke000]

what's this? CoH trying to be Men of War?

[JesusofCalgary]

@mburke000 No

[Darkseq]

Interesting, what happens when you pick up weapons? Do you get to keep them after the battle or when you retreat your squad?

[RudySanErik]

@Darkseq after a battle you lose all picked up weapons :)

[LordGrandKaiser]

The single biggest problem in the RTS genera is the throw-away attitude people have toward their units, which this mod seems to tackle nicely. Also, this mod makes the game far more tactical in nature. Very, very nice overall.

[MrOpportunitygaming]

Honestely, this seems boring :( My oppinion :P

[RudySanErik]

@MrOpportunitygaming try it and then you chanche your mind :)

[kingev101]

Finally! A mod that includes the Marines!

[londonsmee]

looks intreesting

[underdestruction2]

well it's almost an Codename Panzer but with Coh gameplay

[GSpeedEmotion]

There's some american infantry units with mp40's icons... wth? are those grease guns maybe?

[nikomas1]

@GSpeedEmotion Yup, Infartry commander can get grease guns for riflemen

[EuropeInRuinsMod]

@GSpeedEmotion

Players who play an infantry doctrine can unlock Grease guns and bazookas with their T3 "infantry equipment" unlock.

[Brede1995]

When i try to launch the setup it says that the file is corrupted. I have tried and DL it many times. Please help me?

[KrebsCOHO]

@Brede1995 I'm not familiar with any of the errors, you'll need to see the forums

[armycadet1997]

@Brede1995 try running as administrator, that worked for me.

[jacobholes]

@Brede1995 I had similar issue, mine was related to using windows unzip verses winRAR. let me know if this helps.

[KrebsCOHO]

@ryanluketomas I have no idea how OMG plays out so I can't really comment

[clamum]

Nice video, I like the fact that you used it to highlight a mod for COH; in fact I think I'll try this mod out.

IMO you could've asked a lot more questions about how the mod works (both the launcher and while in game) and the mechanics of fighting, as well as given the mic to Groundfire more often.

Overall though, good job and thanks for the heads-up on the mod!

[KrebsCOHO]

@clamum Hi clamum, thanks for enjoying the cast and I'm glad you'll be checking out the mod. Thanks for the advice although I believe we talked about all the essential points of EIR and I made sure of this by asking Groundfire if what I discussed was accurate and adequate. Enjoy the game!

[zeroXgravity702]

How do u get this game

[KrebsCOHO]

@zeroXgravity702 COH from steam and Europe in ruins through the links in the description :)

[makaveliThadon100]

I tried out the mod, seems fun but almost all players that are online are experienced ones and you stand no chance against them which makes it hard to enjoy the game for us newbies.

[RudySanErik]

@makaveliThadon100 its hard to learn but if you find a good teamplayers then no way to not enjoy the game :)

[soerenkepler]

@KrebsCOHO Thats not what I said. Read again plz. You as an endorser should specifically say that what you endorse can in some "rare" cases screw anyones computer, installations etc.. Call me stupid, but I actually took your recommendation, proceeded to install and all hell breaks lose. Had you reminded me (and others) that mods are potentially faulty, then I wouldn´t have installed it. Thats what I´m saying.

[PatrikCOH]

@soerenkepler That's not really his responsabillity to inform. That's quite imature to say. ANYTHING you download on internet is potentially dangerous. It is everyones responsabillity to make sure they're safe from, and informed about, possible threats. If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself and the people you downloaded it from if there's no warnings on the website.

[KrebsCOHO]

@soerenkepler I'm not sure about you but we didn't have any technical hitches setting it up. All I had to do was install it, use the launcher to update and I was playing.

[fluxtubes]

Thanks for casting this, I knew there were mods but it's a pain to familiarise with them - your cast totally helps and I'm intrigued enough to d/l this one. Would enjoy more casts on EIR as it does make a nice change from the usual T3/T4, rush for fuel etc.

[marex1992]

Blitzkrieg is ten times better than Eastern Front.

[thehumor]

Modern Combat when it comes out.

[vinipcaddict]

So this is like a patch, or its the full game but modded? As I understood, I don't need the COH game downloaded in order to play this. Right?

[CautionMMX]

Dear Krebs when u look at the Company Of Heroes Blitzkrieg Mod then can u make replays like the normal CoH and maybe do it with the Europe in Ruins?

[MiddZzY]

downloading this atm , hope it wont dissapoint :D

[MiddZzY]

@MiddZzY and how do we install this if we got COH on steam?

[MrGaky]

I dont get the terretory capture thing... why didn't the alieds Backcap the terretory ? or you need to capture every thing and then move up the line. you cant back cap ?

[KrebsCOHO]

@MrGaky As you move through the territory with infantry they automatically cap the territory

[Groove1993]

@KrebsCOHO sorry to bug you, but im having a problem when im tryin to register on the EIR website, but its probably bugged because there is no window for writin, only the signs like : choose nickname and email adress...but i cant write anything!

[KrebsCOHO]

@Groove1993 Try a different browser

[ENGLISHBL0KE]

Eastern Front I say!

[AbsorBentJeppe]

@ENGLISHBL0KE No european theathre, its like blitzkrieg and soon it will come russians!

[Groove1993]

seems awesome...

[MrGaky]

Is this mod like a RPG RTS ?

[TheIcelandicDictator]

@MrGaky

well in 1 word yes but you could allso call it MassiveMultiPlayerRTS just without the Massive part.

[rockjock3]

Excellent cast and a great looking mod for CoH. I'm impressed with the level of work in it. It's far more than what you might expect from most mods. I wonder what your opinion Krebs will be of the Eastern Front mod for CoH.

[luculus88]

excelent ideea casting this mod krebs, you got me interested and i will try it, which i would have never done unless you would of presented the mod here

[KrebsCOHO]

@luculus88 Fantastic, this is the exact reason why I did this. A lot of these mods are made from hard effort spent from the free time of these professional modders. They make fantastic games out of these alterations that many people may be interested in. Have fun!

[Kalostaphor]

@DonStelz92 there are some parts where they tend to seem OP, but after you notice how bad the vicker mg emplacements and in general the vickers mgs are and how much better a mg42 is, it will become apparent that there are some balance issues people have to fix. Though Id say british have pretty good units like the SAS commandos or the replacement for the bren carrier (dont know its name, but I do know it is available right in the start of the game and cannot be damaged by small arms fire).

[pawelvc]

I think im not nolife cause im watching it in 2012

[Kalostaphor]

Krebs I advise you to be careful when casting any other mods,

mods like blitzkrieg tend to favor axis right now (and believe me after you play a few games you will realise how ridiculously weak americans are, british with there bad Vickers MG's). I mean the mg42 will instakill rifle squads if they stay there for 3 seconds while the 30cal will barely scratch volks grenadiers and the mg42 just cost 30 more mp for that.

[KrebsCOHO]

@Kalostaphor Is that done on purpose?

[Cossack112]

@KrebsCOHO I hope its not, but playing as allies you have to be very experienced player to play against axis. It really feels that axis are OP and PE is like even more but you can still win if you know what you are doing. Right now mod team is trying to work on balancing issues. But I have to say - its real challenge when there is 3+ Tigers on the field. ;)

[Kalostaphor]

@KrebsCOHO

No its just they tend to balance a few things but most of the time they were busy releasing new reward units and adding new stuff that they left out balance a little. With later updates they are going to fix the balance on most of the armies but right now wehrmacht is a very dominating presence to have.

Although it doesnt mean its impossible for americans to pull off a victory, they will certainly have problems early to late game.

[Kalostaphor]

@KrebsCOHO

One thing you will notice tank to infantry combat is the allied tanks top mgs are HORRENDOUSLY weak against infantry while the mg42s on top of the wehrmacht tanks will shred any allied infantry that comes close to them. Not to mention that PE is capable of getting early scout cars that cannot be penetrated by fire arms so thus you have to use armor piercing bullets on 30cal (doesnt work well) OR you have to get anti tank squads which come after you get a WSC which takes alot of time

[DonStelz92]

@Kalostaphor Well I heard the british are pretty OP in Blitzkrieg. I didn't play it to good, though, so I can't tell...

[Shadow7988]

@Kalostaphor Not to mention Axis get far more tools for the job then allies. With allies you get a handfull of units that don't really fill specific roles but try to be decent at a little of everything. With Axis you get very focused and specialized units that are extremely powerful at what they specifically do. It makes for a bit of unbalance as any axis player with half a brain can out-tech allies easily.

[doomman14]

fuck yeah mod show case

[LarsIngo93]

Krebs, you should try the blitzkrieg mod =D

It's so awesome ;P

[KrebsCOHO]

@LarsIngo93 I will be :)

[CautionMMX]

lol its 2012 !!! not 2011 ! wtfffff

[DarkMatter61]

Sound like an awesome mod, I like the idea a lot.

Oh and Happy new year. :o/

[J1N6666]

So if we get a random teammate who teamkills all the hardcore units one hardens up... I guess they are just gone forever one might say...

[KrebsCOHO]

@J1N6666 I'd need Groundfire to clear that up but most likely it'd be a bannable offence if done intentionally, just as it is in the normal Company of Heroes.

[Pharmaman100]

so awesome great job guys
