Title: Company of heroes online
Post by: Bethor on September 05, 2010, 02:47:31 PM
Just wondering if anyone is playing this. It is currently in beta, but should be free to play once released. Its mainly just multiplayer with levels and rewards etc. But for those of you who have never played company of heroes. It includes all the missions (and storyline) of the original company of heroes. SO it might be fun to check.

and added a Link (http://www.companyofheroes.com/)

Download client is a torrent like. So port forwarding should be set up correctly. That might help a bit.
And well it is slow. :D seen mine go at 400 kb/s max (newsgroups is 1400) and around 200 on average :D

but it is worth the wait imo :D

think it took me 9 hours to download :)

I went out to the park with my daughter, played a bit of Mount and Blade and prepared lunch and later dinner while downloading. SO it might have been 8 hours before i had it :D

From what I understand, the launcher sees your coh client and loads models, levels etc all from that, and just downloads what it needs to tto help with the Online stuff.

if you have Company of heroes already it will be scanning files before actually patching hence 15M/s
