There was a big (1.2 GB) patch the other day for Opposing Fronts on Steam. Was it for this?

Admittedly it's pretty much the dictionary definition of "not us, gov", but still. It's something.
Correct, Ubisoft's shutting down the middleware CoH 1 uses for online play.
So they are replacing their current DRM with another, well Steamworks is certainly better than Relic Online.. guess it's not all bad.

CoH is one of the best RTS games ever made but holy fuck did Relic shit the bed when it came to the online and the patching, oh god the patching...
(Re)bought the game again last year on steam sale for $2.50 to not be bothered by the patches anymore (and I lost my physical disc as well)
I tried to block out and suppress these horrible memories of trying to patch the original Coh, especially if you formatted your hard drive or something
The horror, the horror!

probably not,it will be up next month.
They would have to.
Look forward to bullets being consumable DLC in the upcoming Command & Conquer game.
C&C is still a thing?

Does this mean my CoH from the Humble Bundle which was activated through Steam will auto update to Steamworks for multiplayer?

Oh fuck yeah. I may actually start playing Company of Heroes again because of this. Since installing Windows 7 a couple of years back, I haven't bothered installing any of my disc-based games. The only games I play are those that Steam will install for me.

I already own CoH on steam but haven't played it in a year or so. What do I need to do?
Do I downloaded it now, try to remember my account password, and save info like CD-keys, or do nothing and just wait till after may 8th, install it and everything will be good to go?

the key will be there when you right click.
Generals 2 was on the way, but then it got turned into a FTP called just "Command & Conquer."

No. I just tried logging on this morning. First it asks me to insert my Opposing Forces dvd (lol), then trying to sign into Relic Online is pure drama..... This entire front end needs to be replaced.

Got the game from a humble bundle but it crashes way too often.

Is nicer for Smoking Gun Studios to assist the B-Team at Relic in the transition and for Sega to fund it.

Awesome, no longer 3 separate downloads, all one big 7.5GB download and that's it now. All THQ references have been changed too by the looks of it (SEGA Presents ....). No more login either.

I need to get back and try to finish COH. I picked it up for like $2 on Steam last fall and I got destroyed on that mission late in the game where you have to take and defend that high hill.

when I was playing a few months back it seemed to regularly have around 14k people online. Community is still very healthy as far as I know.
With that said I downloaded this new steam version, I was really hoping they'd add re-mappable controls; they didn't. Darn. CoH has always needed it. The only change I saw was the THQ logo to the SEGA logo :'( bye THQ. At least it's online community can still thrive!
I just beat those two this morning, hard even on easy (I play on easy because I love CoH but I'm not a strong player). When you defend build MG nests facing out every direction from the top of the hill, and get anti-tank units facing out every direction too for the insane amount of stugs that will come.

I don't think it's on the store yet, the new version, here's a link. It brings up the front page for me but that's the link to the store page from my library installation.
