Go to: Cohofficial on Youtube.
Watch the two latest streams.
Read all the posts on the threads of USA/OKW.
And then you should have a good idea of what you are getting.


I have watch both streams, and the trailers. I have read most of the posts. For the most part I am optimistic, however; I have reservations due to the lack of info on the OKW and their unique game mechanics.

I agree Relic should be more forthcoming about it, but TBH what you saw in the stream last Friday more or less covers it. There's no great, terrible secret.

If you want to clutch your 20$ that hard, then fine. You will get tempted to buy it anyways, so might as well do it now. It doesn't make a difference what you do. If you actually doubted it, you wouldn't have bothered making a thread.

Given the NDA, my second attempt :P.

If a used car salesman would try and sell you a bad car, would he share every piece of information regarding that particular car? Would you still buy the car after you were able to assess the poor quality of the car? Would it benefit the used car salesman to share all information? Would a less informed buyer be more likely to buy the car in comparison to a fully informed buyer?


I understand what your saying, salesmen are slimy :) .

I realize the alpha is still a work in progress, and there are likely lots of balance issues. I'm good with that. This kind of thing doesn't worry me. I have enough of a history playing Relic games and am confident that balance issues will get sorted. The faction mechanics/design is something that isn't likely to change this late in the development stage.

As much as I'd like for NDA to just vanish, Relic cannot official reveal too much because they are not done finalizing. It would look bad for them if they showed off a unit that will be changed upon release.

I feel your post is unnecessarily aggressive, make several assumptions, and does not contribute to the topic.

I don't own the southern front or 90% of the other DLC. It's not about spending $20. Its where I spend $20; beer, live streaming of the world cup on my phone, etc...

I'm not really sure what you want to know. To me the videos available seem to show the game enough. The NDA is a good thing because it stops us being mis-informed or mis-assuming certain things.

Anyway, you can't play it for another two weeks, so why is buying it now going to make a difference? There will be more before then, you can be certain of that.

I'm sorry, I am just annoyed when people ask questions they already know the answer to and have already answered themselves, which is thing called the Socratic Method.

WFA's current position is anyone's judgement. We all just have to wait two weeks.

It's all good buddy. Thanks for the education on the Socratic Method. I did not know that style of question/critical thinking technique was called that. <- Not being sarcastic.

Didn't mean to be a douchebag, its just... logical.

But there is no difference in waiting or buying it now. You are not the only one doing so, many others are also holding out for a real reason to get WFA.

NO



That actually means you are 100% allowed to ask. That's contradictory for me. :/

Watch the videos that relic are releasing and just absorb the information there. lifting the NDA would not give you much more information that would be useful. Also things in the alpha are constantly changing (2 patches a week) and some key units have changed significantly since. Whatever relic hasn't disclosed is definitely up for changing. I would imagine the units would stay the same, but their cost and performance will all be tweaked in the next couple of weeks (not to mention some soviet + whermact units too)

I guess I have not been clear, as there are multiple posts suggesting the same thing. I genuinely appreciate that all of you are trying to help. But, to be clear:

-I have the information that is out there, I do not need advice for finding it.
-I understand the reasons for an NDA. I think I have a good handle on both sides of the debate for keeping it/dropping it.
-I understand there is no need to pre-purchase (or purchase at all).

I am interested in the product but I want more information on it.

I don't have a problem with an NDA.

But I do think Relic would have a problem with enforcing the current NDA, after they have been so busy breaching the policy itself.

The NDA will be lifted in the year 2026 to celebrate the Terran Vs Zerg army introduction into the COH franchise.

You either want to buy it or you don't, simple as that.

I remember buying Dark Forces in 1995 (?) because I got to PC World and the blurb on the box said it was going to be terrific (Spolier: It was!) There was no Internet reviews, and I wasn't a religious buyer of PCGamer at the time but I made the decision to purchase based on my feeling (see: hope) that it was going to be a good game and nothing else. None of this pre-purchase shite nor early alpha bollocks I just made a choice... my age: 8 years old

Tl;dr make up your mind, man, either make a purchase or dont. you wuldn't walk around fucking H&M asking people wether or not you should buy a pair of jeans you might be interested in based on what they think.
