Just heard about this but several online retailers have placed it up on there sites so its pretty much confirmed. As I participated heavily in current beta I should already be in the beta for this.

No details yet but they all have a release date of March 1st 2009.

I thought one of the pc magazines would have been onto to this months ago :-/,very bad marketing on relics side,looking forward to it all the same,there does'nt seem to be anything on any websites though,is this different to the tiger ace campaign?

Well apparantly several COH players have been playing in an undisclosed beta for Relic, which the COH community has long since expected to be the second COH expansion. Those players have signed a NDA so they never divulged any information except to say that relic was working on something good and to relax because whatever would not dissapoint.

These suspicions got stronger when relic annouced the 100 most active members of the current balance beta for COH:OF would get into as of yet undisclosed beta which ruled out the beta for Dawn of War 2 which was already announced.

I don't consider it bad marketing that relic have yet to announce this as five months is plenty of time to annouce this. Its probably been leaked to the sites that have posted it up. Plus hopefully it will go gold in better condition than opposing force which felt quite rushed.

I don't know if this is seperate to the Tiger Ace campaign thats coming. Wait and see I guess.

So this will integrate into CoH the way OP fronts did? Great if so.

I still play this game a lot – it's just so deep that it keeps me coming back.

Would be good to have Russians in here with new tactics for them.

It's weird, because there's this unanounced beta that's knocking about; the Single Player "Tiger Ace" campaign and a bunch of replacement units appeared in one of the betas, then was siwfltly removed iirc. So unless *that* was the beta signup that was going to happen, but then it hardly seems like something you would have separate to the main patch beta-testing. The supposed idea behind the Tiger Ace campaign was that it would be DLC paid online, so perhaps this "Tales of Valor" is just the standard retail version of this same material. Chances are it is because I can't see Relic releasing another expansion (with new sides), AS WELL as a new SP campaign plus replacement units.

I notice on other forums the CoH "faithful" are rattling their chains, predicting that this is all too much too late for the game

guess we'll find out soon enough whats what.
