Not to break anyone's hopes but I very much doubt any COH mod can compete with mods like PRMM, FH2, etc. Mods that rely on a MUCH much bigger community basically. Although with some luck you could get the MOTY editor's choice like EIR did in 2007.

Best of luck anyway :p

Some times, I feel like Unkown is the only one with a brain, I was so ROFL my self at this, so i could not say what Unkown Said...

Well, yeah its highly unlikely but of course one doesn't come right out and say that about your own mod...
but by voting for botb (or any other mod) you are also voting to get it into the top 100 mods of the year. Also the top 10 players choice mods get prizes as do all of the editor's choice mods (which are ad hoc, such as most underplayed, best use of physics, etc) Currently we're at 40 something, so it doesn't seem entirely outside of the range of possibility!
Also it should be noted that EiR is not eligible this year since they won last year, which is one reason I felt comfortable posting this on these forums.

But really what this is all about increasing exposure, which just placing in the top 100 would do...bottom line the more players the better and that's what we're after

Ulterior motive located! Prezzie snatcher targeted!

tskross, can you do one thing for me with Botb. Make it playable with infantry please. And not just for HMGs and Mortars, I am not content with overpowered tanks. Please, the mod would be good if I could just use a Rifleman squad without a tank coming up and raping the shit out of it while my anti-tank is engaged killing the rest of the enemy units, which by the way, all seem to be tanks...

Less tanks, more line infantry.

well i voted for botb for game of the year mainly because tskross seems to actually care about his mod and that in and of itself is admirable and has convinced me to give the mod a second shot here's hoping i like it

[Tymathee]

my fav mod personally is pofia...i recommend peole play it, especially since the AI has been tweaked so that anti tanks unit will attack tanks first even if an infantry unti is directly in its face. Hell, i've seen hmg's ignore tanks and wait for infantry to come into range to fire.

also pofia will give you a very good single player experience, it makes it more difficult and fun.

@ Chaos
Thanks! Its our view that exposure for all coh mods is important. Relic has no reason to provide further mod support (object editor, not just to create totally new units and animations but in order to mod old ones, or just to get the muzzle flash to actually come out of the gun etc etc) if people aren't playing the mods, the more people play the more important they become, period. Whether or not it will affect any actual change is definitely debatable, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
@Prydain
Well as far as prizes go they would go to halftrack (its his baby) as I'm not that into the technical side of the mod (skinning, maps, graphics and PR for me!) And he wasn't responsible for the moddb page and he didn't  even know about the moddb contest. I really was talking about bragging rights
Also in the next update there has been talk of making bazooka upgrades available to all allied infantry (who don't already have them) just as shrecks are for axis now. But really in the newest version (V.2) there haven't been that many complaints about infantry being UP (except in the US infantry doctrine, which we're working on as stated in a previous post)
@Tymathee
I've seen the pofia thread at relic news, I'll have to give it a try, sounds good!!
