    Hello,

    I just purchased gold edition from Fry's ($30) I have couple questions. I thought this game comes with two separate games... but, there is only one game (gold edition) installed. There are three campaigns, which one is the regular COH and which is Coh opposing front. I want to start from the first one.

    For the MP, the servers were really small... Is it always this small? I think there were less than 20.

    Thank you,

    The Battle of Normandy is the campaign for vCoH. I don't think you'll be able to do Liberation of Caen or Operation Market Garden if you don't have OF.

    Yeah, there aren't that many people playing. OF was a hit or miss kind of title and there are some players that only stick to vCoH without updating to include the OF units. I don't think you'll be able to play with those players because Gold Edition is essentially vCoH patched up to the release version of OF. Also, there are others that play with mods and custom maps and those games won't show up unless you have modified your command line to include the proper arguments e.g. -dev and -nomovies.

    Actually, I think gold edition is both games in one. I don't know what you mean by servers being less than 20. There is always a good number of people online doing automatch.

    Alright then I might be confusing it with a different edition if it includes OF.
