Thread: Please allow me to introduce myself13 Feb 2013, 19:52 PM Hello Everybody, Name is emuleman from the Federation of Gamers. Wanted to say hello, and thank you guys for having such an excellent website about Company of Heroes! I also love your LiveStreams of people playing, and often kick back with a cold one and watch them when I can. Great entertainment, and I am always learning some new strategies from watching them. Whether I can actually duplicate some of those strategies effectively on the battlefield is another issue! Hopefully see some of you on the battlefield! In: New Members
Thread: Is Free to Play games the future?13 Feb 2013, 16:45 PM Bottom line is that many people are not willing to pay $60 for a game, mainly because they are not sure if they will get their moneys worth. But if a company says try it for free, anyone with even a casual interest will most likely download it and give it a try. The game companies are hoping many people will be having so much fun that they will have no problem spending money on these little micro transactions to further their enjoyment in the game. It is easier to spend $5 than $60, and just like someone getting addicted to drugs, they are hoping people will get addicted to playing their game, and will continue to spend a few dollars here and there, eventually spending more than the $60 they were unwilling to spend in the first place. I am sure they have had some success with this business model in order to be willing to completely take a big risk and transition completely to that. I am sure many game developers will be watching Crytek's transition to the Free to Play model, and seeing how much success they have. If they are very successful I am sure more companies will consider also changing to this model. So only time will tell if this is going to be the future of gaming. I certainly hope it isn't.

Thread: Is Free to Play games the future?12 Feb 2013, 23:49 PM I just read an interesting article about the game publisher Crytek, who plans on transitioning entirely to the Free-to-Play model within the next five years. The CEO believes that this is the future of gaming, and will make the games his company makes better, and available to a larger audience. Do you agree?

Thread: CoH 2 Hype10 Feb 2013, 15:29 PM It is unfortunate that the bankruptcy sale had to take place a few weeks before the release of the Beta, and that obviously has to do with the delay, and the lack of communication that we are getting right now. I also am disappointed that the hype and excitement of this game got overshadowed by the whole bankruptcy proceedings, and many potential customers have been scared away, not knowing what exactly the status of the beta or game is. I only hope that Sega is taking its time to fully oversee every aspect of the game, and making sure it will be a polished and balanced game at release. However, it would be nice if Sega would give the community an update on the status, and a time frame for the beta release. A little communication would go a long way towards keeping the excitement level high for this game. In: Lobby
