I started playing CoH in 2011, and I was really enjoying it. Then, when CoH2 came out, I bought it immediately. However, since then, I have not played it, in fact, since 2013 I have not played any games at all (let´s just say I focused on different things in life). I was on my computer a week ago, and saw my CoH2 steam icon on the desktop, so I decided to play. However, when I went to coh2.org, I was amazed at how much the community has changed. It looks like everyone I loved watching on streams is gone. Sandland? Freestyler? Sepha? DevM? Pepsi? Inverse? Lollypop? I mean, did every fan of CoH1 just decide not to play CoH2? I played it, it was ok, sort of. I think most of the community realized that CoH2, even though it is an ok game, can never be as good as CoH1 and probaly never will be. But they just sort of accepted it and kept on playing. But it seems all the good guys stayed here! Is CoH2 now really that bad, even with the new DLCs?
Why don´t you play CoH2 already? Is it that bad?
Why isn´t Inverse doing any CoH2 strat talks? Why isn´t Sepha showing off his micro skills?
Is Coh1 still fun? Is it still playable? Is coming back and abandoning coh2 for coh1 worth it?
And first and foremost, why does it look like Relic doesn´t care about CoH1 anymore?

And yes, you can still play coh1. The new steam version. It has around 50% of the players of coh2 online.

Coh2 tries to be more realistic, and fails quite spectacularly in that respect I think. This leads to everything being grey and that 'cinematic' feeling being lost.
I really enjoyed watching the tournaments for VCoH, but I wouldn't say I miss any of the players you mentioned. they get replaced by other players, whether they are better or worse is a different story.
But for me personally, the atmosphere of CoH2 feels very drab and hollow compared to VCoh and that I miss the most.

What i miss about Vcoh the most is its almost comic book aesthetic. It really had a nice atmosphere. Colours were exaggerated and dynamic and overall it had a real cinematic quality to it.

It depends what kind of films you're into. VCoH is cinema wise just game version of Saving Private Ryan, while coh2 has obviously more of real war cinematography.

By 'cinematic' I wasn't referring to any film in particular. The SPR/ Band of Brothers homages are obvious but I think you'll find even if you watch those films they themselves are pretty drab in terms of colour. What I meant was that VCoH had a much more 'intense' feeling to it's atmosphere than CoH2 which, in a word, is beige.

I'm more into WoT these days, but I also play CoH every now and then WoT annoys me.
Wouldn't mind having a game with you Add hubewa24 if you like

With the support for the game gone, people would naturally just go on to better and fun games(definitely not CoH2).
