Quite a few. The mod community is actually still thriving relatively well, there's a forum on Star Wars Knights where it's mostly compiled together.

They don't remove games and yes, games and prices are region dependent.
Yeah, I played it a few years after release and it would crash about once an hour. I had issues with missing textures and people's heads occasionally turning invisible. There's basically no graphical options, notably requiring messing around in the game's files to get widescreen. I'd have called it broken on XP, but if it's worse on Vista... Ugh.Lyphen said:
Nevertheless, it was worth about $10, which is I paid for it. Hopefully the Steam pricing is good.

Do I need the steam version of CoH to play Opposing Fronts?
Disappointing that Dawn of War II is still so pricy on Steam. I can buy it at the store for 20 euro's, and just activate that version on Steam. And I already have all the Company of Heroes-games. Bummer. Great weekend deals, just not for me.
No, you don't. I have only Opposing Fronts on Steam, and Company of Heroes itself on DVD-rom. Works perfectly fine. Don't say stuff when you don't know anything about it. Ruroni's right; you can just add your retail key and it'll work fine, other way around as well.Dynoro said:

Steam version isn't any better, every time a new patch goes up it has to download the full game again - very annoying.

No, check out the game's messageboard on the steam forums. There is an instruction on how to do it, all you have to basically do is adding your retail key to your profile.
Every copy of DOW2, no matter where or how you buy it, is the Steam copy.DirtRiver said:
I bought mine from D2D, but not even. I couldn't get the piece of shit to work, so I had a buddy buy it for me, email me the CD Key, and I put that into Steam and voila, it's like I bought the Steam version.

So this means I could buy one of the 3 off of steam and include my keys/login with my account to have the other 2 activated on steam as well? that would make me doubledip tooThomper said:

And here's my list of games I own on Steam, notice that there's no mention of the original Company of Heroes:

So, yes, works perfectly fine for me. Never had any problems with it.

I already have Dawn of War II, should I pick up the old ones? If not I'm just gonna get the Company of Heroes gold.

Pretty sure it's $10 extra, I just want to know if it's worth it to get those as well if I already have DoWII

Thanks for clearing that up, thomper.

Fuck, so undecided on Tales of Valor. Worth $15 if I'm largely going to ignore single player?

I think it is. The two games are different animals. DoW is more traditional base building, but the resource management is dependent on maintaining control of strategic points, which mechanically works out very well.
I never played any of the expansions, but on it's own merits DoW is most certainly worth $10.

It's really fun outside of some of the retarded level design. There's a decent bundle with Rearmed for $45 on Steam, but it's still a bit too much for 2 games you can get on consoles for $15 less.Angelus said:
IGN: Steam sales up 97% year-over-year.
I'm starting to wonder just what Valve is doing with all that money.

If you weren't a fan of COH or DoW2, you probably won't like the original DoW. It's more traditional RTS fare than either of those games, but it did define Relic's current RTS formula and the economic model in the game is really not very robust for an RTS.
I really adore the original DoW, much more than DoW2, but that's mainly because I dig the game's fantastic aesthetic and emphasis on constant harassment and skirmishing.

I LOVE DOW1 + the XPs, but DOW2 just doesn't do it for me like the original, so maybe that will be the case with you as well. The campaign of the vanilla game is solid enough, and I found that it was the most enjoyable I've played in the last few years.Zzoram said:
