Small Player Base

Jump back to quoted post27 May 2014, 18:06 PMhorizontal_hold

Didn't really realize exactly how small this game's player base is until yesterday my friend and I (total scrubs) were auto-matched against Ciez and NSPlayer (OMGPOP?).

Is this game just losing more and more players? I know some don't enjoy it as much as the original, but this makes me kind of worried for the future of the series. Maybe the automatch system is just flawed. I started playing kind of late but it has become my favorite game (without playing any RTS besides C&C: Red Alert, haha). It is kind of funny how small the community is, yet how dedicated a good portion of the members are to contributing towards improving the game rather than rejecting it.

I hope there is a future for COH. Can't say I've been more fascinated with a video game since THPS2.

Just thought I would start a thread for the frig of it.

also, new unit in coh2

There is definitely a future for the game. Besides, if you enjoy playing it, and your getting matches in a fairly timely manner, does it really matter how many people are actively searching? The game is heading in the right direction, and even though the WF release will likely turn the game into a cluster fuck for a while, I'm confident that they will be able to get the new factions in line fairly quickly. I think we, as a community, need to ditch the idea that coh2 needs to be vcoh 2.0 and get behind the game for what it is if we want to see positive grass roots growth.

I actually like the fact that its a small community, because I think its cool to get matched up against the best players in the world (lol) and see how I stack up.

But the matchmaking ELO system is fair. Once i got matched vs sageofthesixth for some odd reason even if I"m a 1000 to 2000 rank player, but that's the only matchmaking hiccup I've experienced.

the game is far from dead. it finds a game in less than a minute usually and most of the time is quicker than it takes me to find a game in CSGO and we all know how big that game is in terms of players.

dont worry about it, coh2 is just getting started

Yeah I feel like the steam reviews certainly don't help our cause. We should probably write some positive reviews about the direction the game has taken, lets make sure that WFA gets some GOOD press. Tired of all the negativity in the community. PURGE THE WHINERS!

The "most helpful review"

complains how germans are OP with better tank, how mortars, mg and at guns are useless, how its impossible to make a comeback in comparison to coh 1 (lol) , and also complains that the game does not support turtle style gameplay and you need to play aggresivelly in order to win (lol , welcome to WW2). The guy also complains that the soviets have exactly the same units with reskins and the same tier structure like americans from Vcoh (lol).


So there you go guys, top review in a nutshell, has no idea how to play the game,zero understanding of the game, mechanics and generally clueless has only 60 hours put into COH 2 and has 4000 upvotes.
In comparison helping hans review has only 700 upvotes.
Just shows how brainded some people are and they will pretty much believe anything say them..
