I just finished my first walk-through of Dear Esther.
When I say “walk-through” I mean, walking through the narrative of this incredible mod on top of Half Life 2‘s Source Engine by Dan Pinchbeck.

Company of Heroes Patch 2.600
Patch 2.600 Overview on the Company of Heroes community site offers up a list of changes coming in the next version of the game, which will also address one of my biggest concerns (check out the review) with Tales of Valor. That is right, a new map for Panzerkrieg mode.
- Heavy Machine Guns. We will be introducing a fix to the current delay for an HMG switching windows when in a building and return proper operation for British emplacements and other units that were affected by patch 2.502.
- Fix the Pak 38 camouflage stacking bonus modifier that increases the gun’s damage beyond the intended effect.
- Commonly known as the ‘burst fire bug’, we will address an issue that allowed some units to ignore their weapon cooldowns.
- We are introducing a new map for Panzerkrieg along with a fix for the free defensive infantry bug. Some balance changes will also be incorporated for the Panzerkrieg tanks.
There are further bug fixes and changes in the patch, such as a reduction to the effectiveness of the T17, but these are the main points. Please stay tuned for more updates on patch 2.600 including a first look at the new Panzerkrieg map. We will of course be posting the full patch notes here on the community site once the patch is near release.
