The disclaimer: this was a 3v3 on Agermuende.

Yes, a team game with randoms, and yes, I know that draws bad players. Still, I argued with a team-mate about which was more viable: he stated that camping was valid as USF, since if he left his position the flank would've fallen. Hint: the flank had already fallen. I suggested that whoever makes the most progress against the enemy, in terms of territory, resources, etc..should get support from the others if possible, as it is easier to support someone who's got momentum , than bang your head against the MG, bunker, panzerschwere, etc...wall. I don't have a replay, but am I wrong in thinking that supporting a team-mate who's on a roll is the right way to go ?

Depends on what flank he's defending as well as the type of armies your allies and enemies had(defensive or aggressive). If theres a Schwere HQ and bunker in front of him they are likely being defensive there so supporting a breakthrough would have been better.

Replay plz mon 'amie. It bears saying again.

Some maps can resemble dota lanes, in which case barreling down on a weak opponent (so long as you can at least maintain some semblance of structure) can be beneficial. personally i think the most well executed team games on maps that actually offer flanking areas are ones in which a breakthrough is established, followed by a pacey encirclement. if you can manage to catch 1 or more opponents armies in a pocket at the very least forcing a rout you'll be ahead in an even game.

if he's defending at least your natural points he's defending something. if he doesn't have all of them he's wasting time. if there's a fight going on and he's camping in his corner he's wasting time.

Lady Xenarra: Does anyone else think that USF needs buffs? It feels like they’re on life support sometimes

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money
27 Mar 2025, 15:46 PM
Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.
27 Mar 2025, 09:34 AM
Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.
27 Mar 2025, 09:32 AM
Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.
27 Mar 2025, 09:30 AM
Willy Pete: Re-releasing free DLC so they can charge new players money for it. Brilliant marketing strategy :clap:

Soheil: Coh2 still broken server ?

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific. :snfQuinn:.
