Did you guys know that COH2 is actually banned in Russia?

Too much antihistorical crap is an obvious bad start for a history based game

They based COH2 on stupid Enemy at the gates movie (two men sniper squad rings a bell)

It went downhill from that


Well, from what Ive heard, it was (is?) banned because of showing that Soviets were shooting to their own, retreating soldiers, but I don't know how antihistorical is that since it's truth.

uh... yeah.

we need more communications like qduffy just did. more answers to some itching questions would do a world of good. i mean i got a disappointing answer about the possibility of side armour, but it is still nice to actually get an answer.

Even if they did not answer all questions, including mine. I think it was still a good sign of the Relic staff who came here just to say indirectly: "Hey guys! We read and notice your concerns and thoughts!" especially ´cause this is not the offial forum.

God i hate idiots, but idiots of same nationality above all ^^ Srsly, pussyking, bro, go read some basic history books before making such absurd statements.

CoH2 was never banned in Russia, whole "Russian hate" story is about retarded retailer who decided to remove it from shops to please butthurt about not-so-heroic Red Army unwashed masses.

Some adverse comments about Katyn etc invised. Frankly, it would have been easiest to have invised everything from and including post #129, since I somehow doubt if any of it was what Hans had in mind in his OP, but he has not complained, so I have pruned and the result is inevitably subjective.

Off topic stuff about Allied bombing invised. Please have regard to the OP.

There is some material on here which seem to me to be wrong from my understanding of history, but which may be considered correct from another viewpoint, elsewhere in the world. Some posters are reporting the difference as "racist" and others as "flaming"...I have left the CoH2 posts alone on this aspect, but invised the non-CoH2 posts.

A couple of flame posts have been invised and inevitably, there are some follow-up posts which have also got tagged and have gone. Sorry.

Please! From now on, no more talk about certain nations in derogoratory terms.

As we are 8 pages in, this is what Hans wrote:

Before I begin I just want to say that I mean no offence to those who run the community management side of things at Relic.

OK, so those of you who have been around a long time will remember the one of the old Community managers, THQLYNX, aka Bobby Miller. This legend knew how to run a community. You could ask him for a Facebook feature and it would be up within minutes. Have a tournament planned in advance? He would make sure people knew about it weeks before and actually post on the day when the event was live. Have a problem with abusive players? He would be on it asap. Now then, with all of this in mind why can't anyone else do the same? I'm sure many others including myself have pondered this same question. It really does not take much effort at all to do these things either.

Since Noun left I thought I'd wait awhile and see what Cynthia would bring to the table. However since the beginning of the year all I have seen is 2 Relic streams and nothing else. Therefore I ask what is exactly happening with the community management? Recently there have been plenty of staff at COH2.org leaving because morale is so low, that they see no way forward and their efforts are going to waste. Simply put, players are tired waiting for change. There are so many things that Relic could be doing too boost morale and the game's popularity. Here are two simple ways of improving the situation:

1. Engage with the Streamers of COH2.

I don't know if the devs realise this or not but every time one of you pop in to chat it means a heck of a lot for us. It shows that you care. Showing a community that you care about them goes along way. I bet you if Cynthia showed up to a COH2 streamer's channel and asked if they would like any promotional help to attract more viewers that streamer would go nuts. It doesn't even have to be much, a code here or there is nothing.


2. Feature Community Content on Facebook.

Currently the offical COH2 facebook page has 483,858 likes. Promoting community made content would do wonders for publicising their works. I know in the past there have been such features however they are very few in number. I great source of short clips can be found on various YouTube channels and on the trending section of COH2.org. Sharing them wouldn't hurt right? Here are a few examples:


And so....back to topic

The thing is western allies were cowards and scumbags which bombed german civilian cities with fire bombs, dropped atomic bombs on civlians in Japan, cowardly waited until 1945 to open a second front when war was already single handendly won by Red Army who were pure heroes

I dont want you to even dare to compare western allied cowardly backstabbing (Operation Unthinkable) scumbags with russian heroes of WW2


This is trolling right

it has to be

I have talked with real historians about the topic and you have to make a difference between western russophobic pseudohistory = cold war propaganda trash with no relevance to history as a science

Sources and quotes please, otherwise it didn't happen. :)

Edit: And as history is related to people, it can never be a science. It's too unpredictable for that.

I'm looking forward to see some answers dev on this thread as well. I don't know if that will ever happen again, but I think Quinn's answers on the other thread spoiled me :rolleyes:

Well, this is a legit thread and I think sooner or later we will hear from them.

(PS: These past few days have been a hell for mods. IMO you can just invis all irrelevant posts -mine included- so if devs ever wanted to answer or anything, they won't step in a shitstorm)

They have a Master Plan, you just need to wait. They said they are committed to supporting the game for 5 years, which leaves their brand management 3,5 more years to attract all the players. Remember, it's an iterative process so it's normal that it takes some time. They have a roadmap full of features for CoH 2. It's so full that sometimes they have to release unfinished features, but remember: they still have 3.5 years to polish ( :snfBarton: ) them. You should be excited for what will come next!

As for their facebook page, it's full of witty questions that bring a lot of traffic. They simply can't feature casters and streamers anymore or they will lose their facebook rank, calculated by a complex algorithm based on advanced machine learning. There is a fine balance to achieve that you don't know about, so I understand your frustration.

They have at least four different target audiences. That makes a lot of potential customers and they totally have the resources to satisfy all of them. I am excited by the amount of players that will join us in the future! And besides, CoH 2 is already doing better than vCoH so I don't know what your are all complaining about.



Haha, keep on believing boy :D
Start looking at the facts, not what you hope for.

Don't expect a positive change if the game is only going more negative in terms of ambassadors, support, staff, developpers leaving and nda. Just not gonna happen, as simple as that.

Read Vonkluge his post, he tried 1000 times. Not happening and will not happen.
