Is the expectation that CoH2 will supersede CoH1, replacing it on a competitive level?
I find this to be a bit saddening. The classic vCoH meta game will be much missed. What's strange about it is that I feel like both games can and should coexist.
Thoughts? Who here will stop playing vCoH and switch to CoH2 almost or totally exclusively?
I think I will still want to play vCoH on occasion, although I want to be a decent player at CoH2 so I will need to devote more time to it than its predecessor.
will CoH die when CoH2 is released?

Who the hell knows?
will coh2 be good or bad? will the community increase enough to let both games live if it is succesful? if it isnt will the community be strong enough to stay alive or will coh 2 split the community between both games, killing both in the process?
personally, my best guess is vcoh will always have a few matches going, but only a few. most will play coh 2

I think Vcoh will be going for a year or so more. But since CoH 2 seems to be straight "upgrade" in most senses from Vcoh I don't see any reason why people wouldn't make the jump, other than if CoH 2 is balanced poorly.
No spreading out, no fancy stuff, just smash through. Let's see how those degenerate sophisticates handle a healthy dose of pure unreasoning violence.

I refuse to abandon vcoh. You will prolly see mee stomping comps alone in basic matches, with smurf account named fuckcoh2, after I can't find any games nor players.

As far as I know, we have no intention to 'shut down' coh on our end. Activity and lifespan will likely rely on the players.

Awesome! Thanks for the reassurance, bob!

I sincerely hope both games can keep running at least mildly for very long years in the future. Even if we move on to other competitive titles (perhaps one day Homeworld 3?), CoH can always remain as a nostalgic title played from time to time 
I was saddened when MSN Gaming zone closed, and along with it, all those tasty classics (AoE, R6 RS). GameRanger hasn't returned them to their old, former glories

Let's hope that coh2 will eventually be good enough to replace coh1 competitively, so there will be no need to play the old one. But Regardless of coh2's future coh1 will still remain a game worth playing to remind ourselves of the good times with it... at least imo

Imagine AoE2 with (much) improved graphics. Would be awesome shit tbh. Never played AoE1 much, sadly. My dad wasn't too pleased when I started playing AoE2 with 9 years, already.
On topic, I don't think it will die instantly, as people will always keep playing the game for a while. However, the competitive scene of CoH1 will probably completly move on to CoH2.

Except that it's probably a downgrade, sadly enough. Let's hope not.

Why do you think it's a downgrade? Many of the fundamental gameplay structures are maintained while new mechanics which on paper appear to be improvements are also implemented.

If we're forced to play mirror matches in automatch I will stick with CoH for automatching.

What happened to starcraft when starcraft 2 was released? Or C&C? Anyone got any infos about that?
For me, it all depends. A good sequel has everything the first one had, but better, so there is not really a need to go back (maybe only due to nostalgia-reasons). I hope Coh2 is that kind of sequel.
