Darkbladecr

It’s the last saturday in September 2010, the time for our next monthly review.

Before we start to talk about the mod, we want to epxress our condolences to the family of Brian Wood, Relics Lead Designer of Company of Heroes Online and CoH – Tales of Valor. Brian Wood was killed in a car accident on September 3rd 2010. More information on Relic.com. Our whole mod team is extremely saddend by this loss!

Back to CoH: Modern Combat! Work has been done on many fronts so that we have plenty of stuff to show for you again. First thing to notice is: The factions Battle Cruisers are ingame! Both the M1A2 Abrams and the ZTZ-99 are fully animated and imported. Here are some screenshots of them in action!

Here we are again with some new highlights of our progress. The month has been busy and successful again, so we have got plenty of stuff to show. One big achievement is the successful implementation of custom infantry models. So, finally we are able to import our US-Soldier, including all the necessary equipment. You may not know how much effort Darkbladecr has put into this (animation, rigging, etc.), but let me tell you that this is nothing less than another milestone in our development! At this point we also want to thank Michael Taylor (mike@cryrid.com) for providing us with the US Soldier model. Some of the infantry skins are still to be done, but we don’t want to leave you without at least a first impression of it. Just take a look at the crew of the M106A3 Mortar Tank. Except the bare head, the whole model is new, with proper body armor, helmet, communication, etc. This enables us to create infantry as we need it, completely without model mixing, which harms performance.

The development of CoH: Modern Combat is already quite advanced, but you didn’t get to see what some people would call “the face of the US Army”, yet. One of the most modern main battle tanks of the world, the M1A2 Abrams! Of course it is not missing in our Mod, and today we will show you the first renders of the basic variant, which will be available at the end of the right Armoured Warfare tree.

Hello CoH: Modern Combat fans,

This month we are back with an exclusive preview of one big ass gun, the M-109 Paladin. The Paladin self-propelled artillery fires 155 mm shells to clear out stationary targets. It will be available for the US Forces as part of the Armoured Warfare Doctrine. In a short video we want to show you how the Paladin does it’s job ingame, we hope you like it!
