Sign-ups for the Round Robin Tournament will soon be open! Depending on the number of players and the activity we will decide how long players have to coordinate their matches. This will give players flexibility to arrange a match throughout the week. We will provide more information about the event with a news post in the upcoming weeks, giving all the details!

There will be sign-ups for both standard and hardcore MC, players can enter whichever they choose (or both).

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer holidays, and is finally able to have a chance to relax. We have been working hard at the Modern Combat Development team, adding new members and providing new fixes and changes to the structure of our mod for a better game play experience.

After the success of our first tournament, we hope to have now fixed more bug and balance issues. Also with the Olympics currently going on I think it is right to have our own competition! We have also added many new accessories to the units to make battles more unique each time. We would now like to properly test our mod changes with our Second Modern Combat Tournament! Again for all the players that competed in the first one, it gives them a chance to redeem themselves and fight back for that 1st place! Otherwise newcomers are of course welcome, and can compete for the price money and recognition in the CoH: Modern Combat competitive environment!

Lets get ready to rumble! On the weekend of August 18th - August 19th 2012 (countdown) we'll be hosting the second CoH: Modern Combat 1vs1 Tournament. Make sure to read our Tournament Rules, here is a headsup:

Before you decide to sign up, make sure you have a working copy of CoH: Modern Combat installed and can connect to other peoples multiplayer games! In case you are fine, you are required to sign up in our sign up thread. You should make a post with the following information:

Quote:
CoH: Modern Combat - forum account name: e.g. Darkbladecr
RelicOnline account name: e.g. ModernCombatDB
Estimated rank: e.g. LVL 1

Also we are looking for some referees to help with the first day and making sure that everyone is able to connect to their opponents, and to rearrange matches if there are no-shows from certain players. One important note is that you cannot participate in the tournament if you are a referee! Additionally you must have mumble installed and setup with our server.

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.



Once you have Mumble installed, you may add our server using the following information:
Quote:
server name: coh-moderncombat.com
port: default
password: no password
Use it to improve your team-game communication, as a place to find people to play with or against, or just to chat with other members of the CoH: Modern Combat community. We hope you enjoy this feature.

As you may have seen in the release of patch 1.002 there was a small post about a new Impact Sounds optional download. Let us explain what this is.

This is a 100MB download that comes in a single .sga archived file, all you have to do is add it to your current CoH root under:
Company of Heroes/ModernCombat/Archives/

The ImpactSounds.sga adds a new element to the mod's gameplay. It improves the sounds of weapon impacts, be it against environmental objects, or enemy vehicles or armour. There are new shell casing sounds for weapons as well. Additionally there are new sounds for artillery, rifle grenades and mines. This update will also improve the sound of distant shots, so engagements that are occurring away from your current camera view.


All in all, it improves the gameplay factor of this mod exponentially. The download is quite big, and maybe not everyone like these sounds, this is why the download is optional, and can easily be removed by simply deleting the ImpactSounds.sga

Credits go to ReazoR, Gamersin and Loran Korn!
Their original sound pack for the original Company of Heroes can be found here.

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 on our homepage, by clicking on the link).

The Modern Combat launcher should automatically notify you about the patch and download it for you the next time you start it. If you run into problems with the automatic update, you may download and apply it manuall, using this link.
