Eastern Front is a free mod for Company of Heroes. Following the ethos of mimicking a Relic Entertainment expansion pack, Eastern Front has succeeded in adding two full new factions, the Soviet Red Army and the German Ostheer, packed with unique and exciting units to the existing armies - a feat never before achieved in the Company of Heroes world.
This mod is really showing how Company of Heroes is a game that should no be modded at all.
First of all, I downloaded this mod and installed it, but when I wanted to start a game but I could not choose the soviet army because it was locked. Then I discovered that my game needed to be updated, so after a long time and after downloading almost one giga byte of patchs, it was the mod itself now that was not launching. Then I downloaded the new version of Eastern Front but the mod's launcher always wanted to check for new updates and because I did not have Internet during this time, the launcher was crashing each time. After some researches I have managed to make the shortcut to launch the mod and it was working ! So I start a new game with bots at Stalingrad but the mod freeze after 70% of loading.... I kill then start the mod again and choose another map and I could finally start playing ! However the mod will crash in the middle of a game few hours later, and even worst the saves I made because I knew that the mod would certainly crash is making the mod freezing after 70% of loading...
So now I can play this mod but more than half of the time I start a map it is freezing after 70% of loading, and when it's manage to load, it is crashing few hours later in the middle of a game more than half of the time.
Also, I was expecting more than some reskinned buildings and most of the maps don't make me feel like I am in the eastern Europe...
Now it is a good mod, but I was expecting more...
