A 3-5m delay on a money game livestream would be plenty IMO, and I don't really see it as an issue. We are, of course, talking about "online events." The dream is to have real "offline events," where the players are in sound-proof booths, and once again this becomes a non-issue. Sponsors tend not to support online events in general. Not big ones, anyway.

Well that is nothing to be ashamed about. In a serious matter in the struggle to get an observer Mode (1 Year after release) so the community can suppport the game properly, will we get notice by relic, when it will happen? I really like qduffy and team and understand they do not want to feel strongarmed, but honestly if it takes another 3 months and we will get no spectator mode or only a spectator mode without extras as Ami and many others wished, im out of this game.

Honestly I do not even really care about spectator mode that much as most people, but i want prove that relic cares about the people who love the franchise and i want it for commentators/casters to be easier to support the game. We already lost Tommy and Fatal who were fed up, to use hours over hours to get features in their casts, which should be standard. Relic stop the manpower drain.

So plz Relic show the love! NOW is the time!

Not really. 12ocky isn't really one of them (he was pretty damn good) but not on the same level with people like DevM, Aimstrong, Symbiosis, Guderian, etc. There is nobody at that level of dominance in this game and its not because from 2012 to 2013 everyone magically got much better at the game but because streamlined strategic play-> lower skill cap. Aimstrong and Barton won the TFN Cup and SNF respectively and they whole heartily agree with this, and if anyones opinion should count its theirs and not some bad coh1 player troll that streams for 8 hours per day and still hasn't won any tournaments.


What has their tournament wins anything to do with their opinion of the game or if they play the game at all lead to the conclusion that the game must be bad? In almost any sequel the "top players" will hate it because they have played and perfected the original game since forever and even the smallest change will make their lives miserable since their life WAS coh1. To feel better about themselves they just shit on the new game and claim "it lost its soul, its magic, i dont know why but its just not the same".

True coh2 right now might be an inferior game, maybe it will be an even better game after the expansion or the expansion after that. But these "top players" will never switch, no matter what change relic will do.. coh2 will always "not have the magic, low skill ceiling, vcoh is so much better".

So yeah who cares what these top players really have to say? Their life of nolife doesnt give them any more intelligence. Meanwhile new top players are being created and these old legends are no more than just legends.

On that same note, if they keep improving the game and expanding the player base, new top players will emerge and start making their own mark, and eventually people will forget about all the top vcoh players entirely.

Fantastic article! solid read and absolutely so important Signed! As a fellow content producer of competitive multiplayer Coh2 shoutcasts, I have been personally told by several people who are fans of my other content that they decided to buy Coh2 and get into it because of watching it through our content. Content producers give a game free advertising and make sales, they should be supported and giving us the tools to make more and better content would absolutely help.

While obs mode is a feature that should have been in game since the beginning, if it finally makes it into the game one day, it won't magically solve everything.
I don't believe one second that if it makes it into the game, coh2 esport scene will suddenly grow up, online events will have more watchers or casters, and live events will be created.

Sorry if some people don't like what I'm writing, but I really believe obs mode won't change coh2 state.

I hope for you I'm wrong though.
(and let me repeat it, obs mode should have been in game since day 1)

Of course not. But at the very least, it'll provide a tool for casters and personalities to do their job easier so they can focus on things they do best, like being entertaining and growing the community instead of jumping through all these technical hoops. Like Ami said, if we can get popular gaming personalities to cast CoH2, that'll provide more opportunities for new players to witness first-hand as to why we love this game. Do it regularly, and the community can potentially see a steady growth.

But those guys aren't going to want to spend their time casting a game via a replay that's already happened.

Watching an important game live is infinitely better rather than through a replay. Technology shouldn't get in the way of people to do awesome things.
