I think there is something obvious to say here, but I can't quite get a grasp of it.

Something with touch controls could be interesting. I'm not familiar with the Wii-U but maybe a touch controlled mini map on the giant controller interface could give an added level of control. I can understand Relic wanting to get in on the console player base, but I have my doubts as to how much interest there would be for an RTS game on that platform.

See R.U.S.E or others.

It`s just a fail on consoles.

Marketing Ploy - and brilliant.

Talk about fixing a long standing, complex problem, don't tell them how, and plug your new upcoming release.

Brilliant.

Solution is obvious: USB M&K for consoles. If they can have USB peripherals for Rock Band and Guitar Hero there is no reason a M&K can't be done.

I think I have a friend who actualy has done that.

I bought RUSE for PS3... it was fun, but I feel the reason it never became super popular was just the style of game play. It's boring compared to CoH. I remember thinking RUSE's standard (strategy standard) AI was bad (they just spammed planes right away). I kinda liked it, it was an interesting concept.
But with the visuals with CoH 2 - or even better ones on a next gen console... on a 50" tv... my God.
It'd be amazing. Having a mouse and keyboard requirement may restrict sales slightly...but it would be the best way to go without changing much. It would make veteran CoH 2 players that also own consoles kick ass.
The best part about it being on next gen would be cross-play... War Thunder already has that

I've a 21" touch screen for my computer .... you still can't left or right click on touch. I've used it when showing someone the game while they are playing but it's not practical in the current setup.

I already play CoH2 on my 50" TV.

RTS games are the only reason i game on PC. other than that it would just collect dust.

and i been using a keyboard and mouse on ps3 since it came out. never really used it for anything but typing anyways.

Lady Xenarra: @Willy Pete The lack of April Fools this year is odd lol

Willy Pete: @Rosbone not dead yet. when that happens the font will switch to Papyrus

dasheepeh: it was an honor guys

aerafield: yeah I already prepared my "Can't believe there's comic mode for the 10 daily visitors even on this April 1st"

01 Apr 2025, 20:29 PM

Rosbone: @dasheepeh I guess that means this site is officially dead

01 Apr 2025, 20:19 PM

dasheepeh: no comic sans font for april 1st this year?

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes
01 Apr 2025, 02:36 AM

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
