Without a good balance, you will still play COH 2?

I will continue playing as its coh and i find it somehow playable right now.

They cant mess the game up even more right

I've been playing some 2 v 2 as allies which confirms my suspicion that OKW is E-Z mode. Blobs. Blobs. Blobs. Blobs with shreks and Obers and 'nades.

Then the KT and game over.

OKW is killing this game for me, to be honest.

I think its pretty balanced at the moment, so its hard to tell if I would play the game if it was unbalanced, probably not.

^ True dat, as Americans you don't really get much choice either.

But the OKW blob is so versatile and tough, it really is win in fifteen minutes or.... LOSE

You think the game is balanced? Are you serious?

I only play 1v1 and 2v2. I can imagine the game being horrible in 3v3 and 4v4.

Ah, there's the thing, Unshaven...

It *feels* worse in 2 v 2. In bigger games there are variables...

1. Noob teams - you get lots of Axis noobs looking for EZ mode. They don't leverage faction advantage

2. Synergies - support synergies are more powerful in big games, the most obvious being the Ostheer logistics biyatch role, or Sov arty dude

3. Uneven balance of skill - poorer players can be carried by better ones, no hiding place though in 1 v 1 and 2 v 2

4. Maps. The maps in bigger games change the dynamic - you spend half the battle getting back into it.

---

However, where you get a fairer match-up, yes balance can deteriorate into the heavy tank-fest. Lots of people love the heavy tank-fest, but until the American armour problem is solved (not necessarily by a heavy, but by tweaking Jacksons so they are more survivable) then the game remains hilariously dominated by OKW.

Haven't played for a month now. Not because of the balance, but about the blobbing in every game I played. As soon as this changes I'll play again.

I still enjoy watching streams

The game is balanced now

But hypothetically, yes I would continue to play if the game was not well balanced
