By "bad play" I was referring to losing entire units, and spam tactics and strategies (i.e. abuse of the game). The former is not punished nearly hard enough, at least in my experience with the Soviets in 1v1 / 2v2. The latter is rewarded, again, in my experience with the Soviets in 1v1 / 2v2.
I must question your honesty if you're going to sit here and tell me that is the same good, fun, and balanced play we all know and love from vCoH.
And maybe if good play fails, it isn't being rewarded, like I said.
Well, I didn't play vCOH so I am not part of the "all"
It appears that what you really want is what was good play in vCOH to be good play on COH2.
That would be a valid complaint, but the fault is the game, not the people playing it wrong.
Or that you have a Platonic idea of what "good play" is and are frustrated that COH2 does not reward it.
That is analagous to playing Go as if it is Checkers and then complaining that it doesn't work
Good play is whatever works in acheiving your obective (winning, having fun, whatever)
Bad play is whatever doesn't
