Did the NDA help or hurt the Hype.

NDAs cannot help hype. Deliberately not revealing information does not create sales. Dishonesty is punished by the market. Openness rewards society.

-EDIT- To answer to question, it sure doesn't help.

1. I don't think COH2 needed a new faction. If you put in game a new faction for allied though, put one for Axis to;
2. I think a new faction will RUIN balance again and I think Relic will fail again and again to balance the game;
3. I think a new faction will create a total mess in one's known and validated tactics;
4. VCoh didn't have 5 factions;
6. Alot of factions creates a taste of a cheap product, issued just for pocket filling;
7. the new faction will come with new DLC commanders = > an even higher mess;
8. Related to new content Relic could just issue some new commanders for WFA factions, introduce custom commanders feature and War effort mode. That would have been enough.
Period.

At most, you can wait.
Relics biggest sin is complete lack of any advertising, no hints, no unit profiles, we don't even know which quarter of the year is this supposed to come out and coupling that with stale, boring call-in and heavy tank spam meta doesn't really build any hype for me.

Permanently BannedWay too many shit releases around the gaming world to be hyped for anything.

Couse this is NDA.

The answer is no.
The NDA was to prevent Disclosure of privilidged information and not to generate or prevent the generation of hype.
NDAs are never used to generate hype, ever. It's kind of against the point. People seem to be confusing the Alpha with a Demo or a Reward or Bonus when it's really just a test.

Advertising have not really much to do with NDA.
Marketing isn't about showing you stats and balance of units.
WFA and AA had much more hype and even if late, there was some advertising.

As for hype, I think they just want to control the hype and no have it spiral out of control. If I introduce ideas in my videogame and there is high chance of major revision, I wouldn't want potential customers to know and assume those will be in the final product and either buy it and be disappointing, or don't buy it on false information. It's not like everything they're doing in an alpha will go into release product without ANY change.
Bingo.
I honestly cannot understand why this question even arises. Not everything Relic, or any company, does, is aimed at marketing. I have no doubt there will be the usual marketing splurge closer to release; the fact that Relic are experimenting with a closed alpha is simply Not News.

Alot of certain things were changed and fixed and reverted and whatever...the alpha is just a big mess of experimental changes.
Maybe when they do Beta they'll start showing stuff thats more consistent and ready..

I dont think they're advertising any of the changes because all of the changes are subject to change. whats the point of saying volks will now have a chainsaw upgrade and getting everyone hype when they'll change it and remove it a week later?

Agreed, I think everyone who has ever tested for Relic can tell you with out breaking the NDA that a lot of ideas get floated and shot down or reworked. It's all part of the testing process. I can understand Relic not wanting to make Alpha stuff public because of how often things change.
Hopefully we get an open beta or even closed beta soon coupled with an announcement and some hype generation, but honestly hype can be very bad because if you promise people the moon they will want the stars and be disappointed.

Are we going to pretend that Relic doesn't just patch the game and change the product whenever they feel like it? Are we going to act like it doesn't already happen that everyone goes and pays money for currently overpowered commanders, and there is a decent chance that later Relic just nerfs those commanders into the ground?

I'd vote for another option. The NDA makes me sad. It ended up creating a rift within my clan that I did not expect. Additionally it removed my desire to play the current CoH2 version knowing that changes and such are coming with the upcoming to be named content.
NDA BREACH AT 5 O' CLOCK, ALL RELIC EMPLOYEES MAN YOUR BATTLESTATIONS, PREPARE THE LAWSUITS.
So about that patch date Napalm, I keep hearing these rumors about a release next month?
