People are probably taking this game too seriously

People play poker professionally. People play Hearthstone professionally. Dota 2, the second-largest competitive game right now, has entire heroes designed around RNG. Saying a game can't be taken seriously because it has random elements is absurd. There are a lot of issues keeping CoH2 from being taken seriously on a large scale, but randomness in gameplay isn't one of them, and getting upset at people for taking the game seriously is entirely counterintuitive. The more people who take the game seriously, the better it is for the health of the game overall.

I don't find rng as frustrating as maphack. The game has not enough anti-cheat protection.

Safer tactics are reducing rng effects sometimes. This is one of the reasons for which blobbing it's used so much. Combined arms expose you to even more rng besides requiring more micro. I have nothing against blobbers, tbh. And I got beatend several times because of opponent's blob.

Combining blobbing with maphack, now that is total shit. Blobbing is allowed by the gameplay, maphack and cheats are something that is outside the game. A blobber without maphack can make uninspired attacks and lose engagements. He can enter into an mg fire ark, he can step on mines. He can come across a Tiger, a Buldozer, Etc, etc. A blobber who sees everything will never make a mistake. He will come with his blob only where you are unprepaired, every time. This is the problem, and I bet some of you lost BECAUSE of that, not because of rng or other things. As much as such discutions are not welcomed by the mods (why? this is a mistery for me), no matter what coders will tell you, this phenomenon is real.

This is one reason for which you feel frustrated in COH2, guys.

Maphacking exists, but likely isn't as widespread as people like to think. In 6 years of playing CoH1, I never once was sure I was facing a maphacker, and only rarely was I ever suspicious. Even then, going back and watching the replay usually removed any suspicion I had. But people like to have something they can blame for their losses, and maphacking is the perfect scapegoat for that.

Lmao Johnny boy are you under the influence?

Whatever respect I had for you is lost.

you're a filthy hacker(once a hacking cunt always a hacking cunt.)
or you must be suffering from one of the most extreme cases of Hack a Noia I've ever seen.

See a doctor or get some sleep.

Anyway In almost 2.5k hours of gameplay I've never felt my superior opponent was map hacking.it never crossed my mind.
And the one time I did feel like "damn there's no way he knows this attack is coming or where my tank is" I realized he was using spotting scopes in some shit doctrine( I uploaded the replay,vs Mantis Mantis if anyone else has had the same experience with this guy)

Edit but that replay is like a patch old

Ok, live in denial and when someone try to open your eyes, insult him. At least I admited it unlike the rest of the "cunts" and did it for a purpose. Unlike you, I know more about this and I draw an alarm sign. Anyway, I'm done with this thread, it's filling with jerks to quickly for my taste.

Sure, when players lose they may feel an exaggerated sense that RnG cost them the game.

Unfortunately, I'm painfully aware that RnG has not cost me any games, just my own bad play.


I suppose most of my RnG complaints are fixable by changing squad-clumping. mortar one-shots might go away if not that for that.



So I agree you with that probably RnG is not such a serious issue.



once i chased a Jagdpanzer 4, he had a destroyed main gun and engine damage. The JP4 was so low on health i couldve desstroyed him with a faust. But i was cruisin with my vet 3 Jackson behind, prepare my Heat rounds and boom. Rear armor, Heat rounds, and it bounced....pak40 target weak point jackson dead and the jp4 survived xD my last jackson, lost in my final push. i lost the game
