Why do people have so much difficulty with apostrophes? They're about the most simple thing in English to understand, but people just can't help themselves. I find it especially amusing when people insert them where they're unwelcome, because that person makes a conscious decision to put the apostrophe there. What was going through your mind when you put the apostrophe at the end of "Heroe's"? I mean, I can understand people who miss out the apostrophe on "don't" or "sisters'" or similar - they're just too dumb to understand the apostrophe. But why insert unnecessary apostrophes?

Jesus, that is one hell of a deal...

This is my favorite RTS after Starcraft. It's such a damn good game. Opposing Fronts is good as well but Tales of Valor is the weakest of the bunch as it's extremely short but for that price it's a must buy for anyone. I've replayed it 3 times cus it's so awesome.

 

[Zenoth]

A fantastic deal it is, unfortunately I got the retail version of vanilla CoH and never found the time to buy Opposing Fronts nor Tales of Valor in a store, if only Steam games would work with retail ones I would buy both expansions at that price in a heartbeat, but I don't wait to "re-buy" vanilla CoH since I already bought it.

CoH will work because the expansions are stand alone. So you can buy just the two that you don't have. Actually, a lot of true expansions can also be bought on steam even if you have the original game as the retail copy.

Are you sure? Because I tried to buy Kane's Wrath (C&C 3's expansion pack) on Steam while I had the retail version of vanilla C&C 3, and when I got to the checkout procedure Steam told me that I couldn't buy it since I didn't own the Steam version of C&C 3, and that Kane's Wrath required it to be able to play it. Then I eventually got tired of the situation and bought a Kane's Wrath CD-Key at DirectGameKeys.com and registered it to EA and downloaded KW from EA instead. Then to my surprise I installed KW without having C&C 3 installed (which I wasn't aware of, since I was certain that it was installed, but somehow forgot about it) and I ended up launching KW without a problem, so it doesn't require vanilla C&C 3 to run.

Anyway... now that I think of it when I launch vanilla CoH I do see two locked campaigns in the main menu, and within my account's information I can enter two extra CD-Keys in there, one for OP and one for ToV... so if I buy them both on Steam then maybe their respective CD-Keys will do the work just fine on the retail version. The thing is that "vanilla" CoH is not vanilla CoH anyway, because all patches applied at the end accounts for an extra 3GB or 4GB of data and those "patches" in fact install both expansion packs at the same time, the only difference being that they are locked, but they had to be installed since my vanilla CoH's units stats and balance and whatnot engine updates they made had to be up-to-date with both expansions especially for on-line play.

So... well... yeah maybe I'll try that.

He is right I have vanilla and opposing fronts on disk and valor on steam.

COH works with relic online. To get into or onto the game for the most part you have to log into the relic server. Since you log onto the relic server with your name and password it knows you have access to all the content.

If you bought vanilla when it first came out and then it had that like 2 gb update about a year later that was opposing front. So you technically do have it because of the 2 gb patch though it has to be activated by buying the game and logged onto relic online. I could be wrong though.....

I think if i remember correctly I used steam valor deleted my original COH and OF started up valor. Logged onto my relic ID and unlocked the valor campaign by putting the serial keys in... I forget if it was the serial keys from the OF and COH or just the valor one....

That's correct I did buy CoH vanilla, retail, when it first came out, and yes after years of existence Relic released numerous patches, some of which I need to install in correct order, I did get all the patches just a month ago or so, all at once at the official Relic's patching web page, and after I got them all I had a total of around 12 patches, for a grand total of about 4GB of extra data coming from those patches, which I then burnt on a DVD for later use.

So eventually I re-installed vanilla CoH, 1.0 of course, and after applying all the patches (which takes a long... very long time, it's like installing two expansion packs, plus extra fixes) and launching the game the menu did not only change drastically but there were two locked campaigns shown, clearly for both expansion packs had I bought them, so until I enter their respective keys in my account I won't be able to play them, but the expansions are already effectively installed due to the patches.

If I buy them both on Steam I believe that their respective CD-Keys will work, but I'll ask on the official Relic forums just to be entirely certain. If it's confirmed to be a working method then I'll definitely do it.

LOVE THAT GAME!!! I still play it almost daily. So much fun if you are into RTS.

 

[KeithTalent]

Hmm, good deal, I may pick this up. :hmm:

Just FYI it should be Heroes, not Hereo's. The 'e' goes after the 'o' and the apostrophe is not necessary there.
