I believe DB already managed to get a Bradley in-game (no surprises there of course ;)), but that was before they removed dev mode.

The most untouchable thing about CoH2 at the moment is its UI. CoH2 uses Scaleform technology, and as of yet we have no way of editing icons, taskbar animations, etc. Scaleform will allegedly be releasing a dev kit for use by modders later on, the question is whether or not Relic decides to integrate it.

Thanks for the heads up, missed that one. I'll be sure to give it a spin once my exams are over. :D

They don't want competition for their expensive DLC. On release day in Australia, not only did it cost $90 for the base game alone... but they already had ~$60 worth of DLC available on Steam. On release day!

Similar to other part of the world. Pay DLCs on release day is really like robbery.
Bloody Japs, Bloody Sega.

I agree, but pretty sure it was already built into CoH2 by THQ before SEGA got their hands on it? Basically THQ trying to fix the sinking Titanic with duct tape.

It was said that Sega will open up all modding stuff and even LAN game after they gain enough profit...but who knows.

Some unreliable game news on sites in China...I can't remember exactly where.
