We've got a nice little treat for all Company of Heroes fans: the official Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts box art! In my opinion, this box far outshines the original CoH box art, and proves that Relic employs some of the best artists out there. Check it out!
What may be a surprise, however, is the new release date floating around. Retailers claim they have been informed that the game is now shipping on September 24th, several weeks earlier than the original tentative November release date. However, we've been unable to get a hold of Relic to confirm this date change, so take it with a grain of salt. It isn't official until THQ or Relic says it is!
We'll be releasing Patch 2.71 right now, this will introduce the gameplay changes that didn't successfully make it in to the previous two patches. It will also make a few network changes.
We are currently looking into the crash bug as well, thanks.
It is awesome to see the game getting patched so quickly!
Opposing Fronts beta patch 2.70 released[ Comment ] 10:42 PST | Pyros | Print News | Category: Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts - Official AnnouncementsThe hardworking folks over at Relic have once again patched the Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts beta, bringing the game client up to version 2.70. The patch, which includes several Relic Online fixes and a multitude of gameplay tweaks, can be downloaded by either logging into Relic Online or from THQ. You can read the full patch notes by hitting "Read More..." below.
Be sure to check out our beta forum for more Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts beta discussion.
The big attractions for Opposing Fronts are the two new armies in the game. The British 2nd Army represents the ultimate defensive force in the game. They include the ability to move their HQ, drop pillboxes anywhere and deny ground to the enemy with their artillery. Their polar opposite is the Panzer Elite, a mobile vehicle force dependent on cool vehicles (like the insanely tough Jagdpanzer) and insane speed to do hit & run attacks on slower enemies. We eagerly enlisted with Company of Heroes last year, so we're more than ready to extend our tour with Opposing Fronts.
The article also says the release date is still set for November, which makes much more sense than the September date that seems to be flying around.
Originally, I was just going to include the Brits and Panzer Elite in the poll, but since the vanilla Company of Heroes teams have been tweaked a bit, I've decided to include them as well. Yes, I know that stats are constantly changing which makes it difficult to get a feel for balance, so hopefully everyone will vote as to what team they prefer, and not what team is the strongest/most balanced.

Relic has released a brand new patch for the Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts beta, updating the game to version 2.68. The patch introduces a lot of changes (hit Read More... below for the full change log), so you'll definitely want to give it a whirl. Simply log into Relic Online to download it!

This week we've got a special roundtable show for you guys! We have representatives from each of the 3 major CoH community sites here to talk about what it's like to help "run" the CoH community, and discuss our community in general.

We are moving to the new forums system! - We're getting a new forum system really soon. The current one is a bit outdated, so the new one will have all those modern bells and whistles.
Splash Damage's Whine/Question thread 6.0. - Splash Damage poses 4 questions and gets responses and opinions about them. Topics include the feasibility of stats wipe, keeping engineers/pioneers busy, and resources.
Favourite Unit? - A discussion thread for sharing your favorite Company of Heroes units. For me, it is a toss-up between snipers for their ability to pick off infantry from a distance then blend into the environment, and the Calliope. Got to love dropping a barrage on the enemy base!
WW2 Weapons/tanks/vehicles/aircraft -Discuss your favorite World War II vehicles and weapons. It is always interesting to learn about some of those really crazy designs that never actually made it into production.
There's plenty of other great discussions in our forums, so be sure to stop by and register!
