Company of Heroes Modern Warfare Mod Removed From Steam After 12 Years

Developers can no longer distribute Modern Combat on Steam.

The creators of the global Modern Combat mod for the strategy game Company of Heroes recently reached out to players on Steam. They announced that after many years, they had “made the difficult decision” to remove their project from Valve’s service.

The developers explained that this is due to “technical difficulties” that arose following Steam client updates:

Unfortunately, recent Steam client updates have introduced technical difficulties that prevent us from supporting and ensuring the proper distribution of the modification via Steam. Given these limitations, we can no longer offer Modern Combat on this platform at the level of quality we would like.

Modern Combat is a total conversion mod that shifts the setting to the modern era. The modders invite players to take part in a conflict between China (the People’s Liberation Army) and the United States:

This is modern warfare—deploy helicopters, infantry fighting vehicles, and multiple rocket launcher trucks. Fight the enemy using guided missiles, remote-controlled machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, silencers, thermal goggles, camouflage suits, laser target designators, and much more.

The Modern Combat modification for Company of Heroes is expected to be removed in the “coming weeks.” The project page is available via the following link.

The history of Modern Combat does not end there, as the modification will still remain available on ModDB.
