It took blizzard years to balance their RTS games. Trust me a year in a RTS game is not a long time. RTS is one of the more difficult games to balance.. every unit has to be good and cost effective yet it cant be OP when massed either.. units also must be fun to use for veteran players but still easy to understand for beginners.. add to that Teamgames and you got a shitloads of work cut out for you.

Im very impressed of relic.. their patching the last 4 months have been fairly fast and mostly the correct changes.

We are not there yet but we are a lot closer than at release =)

Comparing Relic with Blizzard is a bit unfair. Blizzard had to balance 3 races, which can be played in 6 match-ups. Relic only had to balance 2 races, which can only be played in 1 matchup. On top of that, SC2 is a much, much more complex game than CoH2 in pretty much every way.

On top of that, SC2 is a much, much more complex game than CoH2 in pretty much every way.

Not entirely, there are so many more variables involved in CoH2 unit interactions compared to SC2. So much so that a small change to one of the variables can have a very big effect on the unit interactions.

I have done my fair share of bitching about COH2, and I think the game in many ways is a study in bad design. That aside, Im verry happy that Relic actually seems to have listened to the community and made a lot of changes, and hopefully will continue doing so. Sure, the balance will be off every now and then, but I rather have them screwing up the balance from time to time and fixing the fundamental design flaws, than the game being perfectly balanced though uninteresting gameplay wise.

I think Relic deserves some credit for realising theire mistakes, and fixing the game, rather than all this negativity following the last patch. For the first time since the release of the game im actually optimistic for the future of COH2. I wish more people would share my optimism.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy
