Exclusively for you we’ve set up a mumble Voice over IP server. The CoH: Modern Combat community is invited to join it and use it for voice communication.

For those of you who do not know Mumble, it is an open source, low-latency, high quality voice chat software primarily intended for use while gaming. It is similar to the better known Teamspeak or Ventrilo. You may download Mumble from sourceforge, where you can also find all the information you could ask for.

Sooner than planned we’re comming to you with another patch for CoH: Modern Combat. Unfortunately one of the applied changes in patch 1.002 wasnt working correctly, namely the US first aid training upgrade. Instead of the intended 10 HP/min healing rate it would heal US infantry much quicker. The impact on gameplay is huge, so patch 1.003 will hotfix this issue.

Together with this fix we’re applying a number of further changes, which we have been working on in the meanwhile. Among them a bunch of environmental texture updates provided by VanAdrian. The textures transform vanilla objects, such as barrels and walls into the Modern Combat setting.

Hey folks, we’re back with the newest patch for CoH: Modern Combat!

While we generally concentrated on bug-fixes with the last one, this time around we’ve decided to focus on balance-related changes as well. We want to thank the community for all the informative feedback and discussion on our forums… your input has influenced many of these changes (read the complete changelog at the end of this post).

We’ve also done some work on the aesthetics and acoustics of the mod, much of it made possible by several new members of our team: evilSpike (2D artist), omnicron (2D artist), robotnik (3D artist), skylineGTR (2D/3D artist) and Sando (level designer). Their help is greatly appreciated, and they’ve already made some fantastic contributions!

Thanks to them and veteran team-members Darkbladecr, Chopin and SuiXo, we were able to add a ton of new custom gear to our infantry models, add unit portraits to our user interface and create additional environmental assets for use by our mappers.
