I know, I keep repeating myself, but it is, truely, a matter which is quite dear to me: the random army button.
Come on, it can't be too hard to implement that feature. Coh1 had it. Why not Coh2?
I'm really happy just playing any army, I don't want to play only one. (You could say: 'Okay, just choose another army every game.' but it is not the same as being surprised which army to play).
Additionally (and maybe most importantly): You or your team can play against any Faction. So the waiting time should decrease.

Useless. Who wants to play different army will play with different. Dont need random for that. And who wants to play one side, will play one side. But thats just my opinion.

That feature in coh1 was good, when i was unsure what i wanted to play as, i just picked random and played with factions i hadn't had much experience before ( OF Factions ). Got me into playing more PE and i got better in the game overall. I don't play soviets in coh2 cause the faction doesn't appeal to me, but if i would get it with random pick, i would have no other choice than to try and win, who knows, maybe even start to like the faction.

You can simply pick up SU and launch the game
Taking SU with random its just fooling yourself.

Would be cool for People like me that just can't decide which faction to Play.
Needed? no. But would be Nice To Have.

How do you think this will play into the party system that coh2 multi is built around? I is it going to roll a random army for the side your teamate picked? Is it only applicable in 1v1? Only applicable when your the only one in a party? This isn't something easy to put in. How about you assign an army to 4 numbers, find an rng online, set the range to be those 4 numbers, then roll it before you choose your army? Don't get me wrong, I'm not against the feature, I just don't see how it can be implemented in game.

T34/76 is NOT a joke on my hands; Maybe on your hands you make it suck shit? but on me, No. I can kill a stug with a little micro, go toe to toe with a Panzer 4. Is it a joke? LOL T34/85 is apparently a very good tank. But no one says it "one hit wipe" or elefant penetration; up to a point i think this little medium tank just have too much health and too much firepower with that fuel cost.

This is something that should be in the game from the start and I don't see any reason apart from Relic's laziness that speaks against it. I don't even know any other RTS where I cannot just pick "random".

The main point of a random button, for me, would be decreased wait times.

I dont see the problem. First if everyone on your team has choosen the "random" faction, then the game first chosses one of the two factions for you (allies or Axis) and then it chosses a random nation for you. Should be pretty easy!
And if one of your teammates has choosen russians then you only get a random allied nation. Should be a pretty easy feature o0

Are u kidding me? They done it in vCoH, in 2006, and that feature was great. Even i can create program that will choose random number between 1-4, now assign every faction a number and that's it. OFC that u can't choose random if u have a teammate who selected a specific faction.
This is simplicity itself, amount of stupid sh*t to read here amuse me!

Of course COH2 should have this. We've been asking for it for 2 and a 1/2 years. There's absolutely no reason not to have it.

I'm surprised no one has come with the cynical response of:
"Just play allies. Throw a coin and play that faction". Because the times it would put you as axis is so low (unless 1v1 and one in a blue moon 2v2).
Random army should come also with random commanders, even if you don't own them. That would be interesting.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Don't understand it either. This is a feature that wouldn't take a single day to implement and would reduce the waiting time in ranked very much. Relic logic.
It is though God by command has withdrawn every other throne.

The problem with the "random" faction is due to how the ladder queue system works with your bulletins/inventory.
You can't be changing your inventory while in queue, so everything has to be pre-set before clicking queue. Which means having a "random faction" choice is useless because u'd have to stop and choose a inventory setup before pressing "search".
It's not difficult to see why not, really....

So you could just set up a loadout for all your armies in the customizer before you start a search... if you didn't do it and choose random you get whatever layout you had for that army last time. This is no issue at all.

Yes, it's a greatly needed option.

I would love that, although I always want to play axis but because of the long waiting time I end up playing Allies.

I agree.
Clicking 'RANDOM' on vCoH invariably meant you got copped with Britz....not difficult to see why. Nobody else wanted to play them.
Judging from the responses here, those advocating any army are welcome to their choice.....just don't come bitching onto the Balance forum if it all goes tits up for you.....

Good luck with that
