What game-breaking problems were there before they moved to steam? Please enlighten me? Comparing the relatively minor bugs in CoH1 to the massive calamity that is CoH2 is just nuts and anyone who knows anything about both games would agree.
Dat poor argument doe.....
There were SO many more bugs, and balance issues with CoH compared to CoH2. CoH2 is years ahead of CoH in every imaginable way.
Game breaking problems I can think of off of the top of my head for CoH:
Allied smoke bug - Make any unit inside smoke invulnerable
Panzershek clipping - You couldn't hit anything with them. This made German t2 useless for more than a year
Units getting stuck getting out of buildings
Stormtroopers camo'd on retreat
support vet not giving any bonuses
Connectivity to the Relic servers - for several weeks after launch connecting to the servers was so difficult
Drop hacking - on of the first #1 on the American ladder got there by drop hacking when ever he was lossing
Ladder rankings no working properly 1 rank 20 (General of the Army), no one in ranks 19-15
Being able to delete your HQ
Tank wrecks that were part of the maps were salvageable.
Calliope with a working gun - for the first 6 months to a year, all the Americans had to build was riflemen to calliope
Bars that could instantly suppress multiple units while on the move
Nuclear pineapples
Semois Pin
Napalm Nascar
Bar/ATgun/Quad cal unbeatable strategy
1 sec arty
glider crush
fallschirmjäger taking on and crushing 2 squads of riflemen
Kangaroos
Brit blobs
jeep/kett pushing
Zombie Grens
Staghounds
PE Panther spam
Pio Spam
Boring ass sniper duals - Every game.
Strafe being OP - Strafe being UP - Strafe being useless - Strafe WTF wiping out everything - and so on
Demo charge rush
Inspired assault full auto panzershreks
Indestructible, repairable, deletable trenches
Crippling brit trucks that just spawn by mining then tank trapping map entry points.
Allied war machine replacing as many tanks as you could get killed
Pak "first shot" camo bonus lasting for 3 or 4 shots
Pak infantry sniping
Cap walking
You could play online ranked games in Dev mode
Gliders being able to land in enemy bases
I didn't have to even think hard about the above list.
