I think this is a fantastic idea. It allows players to sample commanders and keeps things fresh.

Given that War Spoils still sucks and Relic's reputation with execution, I'm still leery. But this is a bloody good start I dare say

I bought vCoH on January 3rd, 2007.
Still missing the days of vCoH 1.71. It had it's issues, like paks sniping 57s, and the strafe didn't work, but overall, it was probably the most balanced time in CoH history.

OF ruined that. CoH 2 is....balanced in a nasty way. Everyone has an equal stockpile of gamebreaking bullshit. USA is full of early game BS while the OKW doesn't get its BS until late game. It's just a question of how badly you exploit the faction's shit and how quickly, after a patch, you discover the gaping holes of bullshit Relic leaves. But either way, it's all BS. The only "BS" in vCoH that was gamechanging was the fast m8 vs a bunker.

Nice to see people actually happy about this. The other thread is filled with "These new free commanders are terrible because something else is broken".

The ost commander in rotation was the Pay 2 win commander released last year.

I find it funny to see it first one the menu as it's really good against the USF and is the solution to the ost's early game problems against them. Mechanized is op against USF.

Good man, spread the non-toxicity, make the toxic people hide in their man-caves. Here's a brownie point from yours truly! +1

Commander rotation? Have I missed anything in the patch notes?

I appreciate this. The fact that Relic started with decent commanders means that we'll end up with the newer and better commanders as possible options; perhaps they are starting from the earliest - useful commanders and skipping the crappy recycled commanders. For an entire week, and not just a weekend. Perhaps ill be able to use soviet partisan tactics and luftwaffe supply in a week or two...

now make them new commanders obtianable without winning the war spoils lottery (money or war spoil points i dont really care. coh2 has given me heaps of fun i dont mind paying a few bucks. that is MY opinion)

Currently, I feel this is good idea, even though I am wincing at the fact that I just bought mechanized assualt and now it is free.

I can see this allowing players to get familiar with all tactics without the need to purchase them.

Does anyone know the frequency of the rotations? like 1 week X and Y commanders are free but how much time is there between the free weeks? I like it though, can't argue about getting things for free.
