would you guide me
how i can connect to you guys
you guys using the latest patch ?

GameSpot: We understand that Opposing Fronts isn't an expansion pack, but rather a stand-alone game. Could you tell us why THQ and Relic aren't going the traditional expansion pack route?

Josh Mosqueira: For Relic, Company of Heroes was always a starting point, a jump-off point. Opposing Fronts is the next chapter of that story, and there are many reasons why we decided to go with a stand-alone game: We just couldn't do it justice with an expansion pack.

First and foremost, it's all about the content. With two full armies, each with unique units, tech trees, and commander trees, we couldn't have squeezed all that content into an expansion pack that traditionally only includes a couple of new units for existing races. What you are getting with Opposing Fronts is a complete experience that takes Company of Heroes into new territory.

We also wanted to show Relic's commitment to making Company of Heroes the definitive World War II strategy experience. Our plan is to make the Company of Heroes series accessible and easy to jump into. We didn't want players to have to buy the original if all they're interested in is the new armies or campaigns.

With that said, there are a lot of benefits to owning both games in the form of unlockable content, more maps, and more online options. If Company of Heroes was the first step, Opposing Fronts is not the last. We have big plans for Company of Heroes.

GS: Are we looking at roughly the same amount of content as in Company of Heroes, or more? How do each of the two campaigns in Opposing Fronts compare to the COH campaign?

JM: Opposing Fronts, with two full armies and two campaigns, exceeds the content of Company of Heroes, especially when it comes to single-player. While each of the two campaigns has fewer missions than COH's single-player campaign, when combined, players are looking at a total of 17 missions compared to COH's 15.

GS: Another of the new features is the idea that weather can affect the battlefield. How? And is this a feature that could get rolled into the existing game via a patch or update?

JM: First, weather features prominently in the single-player game. Rain obscures infantry and mud slows tanks and vehicles down. The intent is to make weather an aspect of Opposing Fronts' "real battlefields."

For multiplayer, this means that players will be able to choose the time of day and weather conditions for their games. We're still determining the exact effect of weather in multiplayer, but rest assured it will add a new element to Opposing Fronts' already intense multiplayer games.

Weather will be added to the original COH via a patch.

GS: If you only get Opposing Fronts and you don't have Company of Heroes, will you have access to all four factions in multiplayer, or will you need to own COH to play as the Americans and the regular German factions?

JM: Players that own Opposing Fronts can only play as the British or Panzer Elite. However, Opposing Fronts players will be able to play online against the Americans and Werhmacht armies from the original Company of Heroes. Likewise, Company of Heroes players can play against (and on the same team as) the British and Panzer Elite.

Our plan was not to fragment our community. Instead, we wanted both sets of players to be able to battle each other. And once you've seen someone use a glider or call in a Jagdpanther tank destroyer, you'll want to rush out and pick up Opposing Fronts.

that's why i play in the morning. connection are fast that time. after 10am, it sucks..... at least with my maxis BB.  tiny, what's your nick?

woah .... you guys have use micro management ...
all what i did was just strategy ...
didnt really micro much

can some1 tell me how great is 'tank destroyer' really is.

tat allied tank was gone in 3 hits from a STUG ! wtf and i barely even hurt tat him

for me, i find it very taufu-ish, tho fast, but very kns =/

lets not forget the enemy tank will turn too :3
high speed..... but low dmg wit low armor
no no for me

if u can micro (and use SHIFT key) an M10 against a STUG well, stug will defintely no match for an M10. stug has a slow turning speed than M10 plus it has no turret. u can hit it without any damage. search the video for it in youtube.com. u'll know what i mean. 

this is a good example...
