    Ok, I bought CoH Opposing Fronts. I already have Company of Heroes (from here on referred to as CoH) installed and patched to the latest level (2.103 I believe). Then I go to install CoH:OF (from here on referred to as "OF") and it says OF is already installed! WTF?

    So I uninstall CoH, reinstall CoH, then install OF. Now OF says it will blow away CoH. I do that, fine, whatever. Now it seems I can only play the original CoH campaigns, and looks like two of them are locked.

    Weird. What to do?

    um. no it doesn't, it combines them both.

    EDIT: then when you log in, you need to add OF.

    There's no difference. If you patch up CoH, it includes all the OF files, so you don't need to install OF separately.
    Just start the game, and type in the CD key for OF to unlock it.

    So, uh..... you don't actually need to do anything special.

    installing OF saves a 1.8gb download though.

    Well that's just nuts. When I went to install OF, it asked for CD-Key during install. I input my OF CD-Key, but when I get in the game it only shows the CoH campaign unlocked. I have to enter my OF key AGAIN to unlock the OF campaigns.

    TO AAN310: I realized you don't *NEED* internet to play. Just will need your DVD instead.

    That's only true if you're connected to the internet. If you're not connected to the internet (even if you've already registered) you still need to put in the DVD in order to play.
    If you like the original CoH then you probably will like OF as well. ;)
