why do the tournaments demand that every player play both axis and allies? i think it would be nice to allow the players to specialize on 1 faction and have a great map pool/rotation.
i come from competitive starcraft background where i played for a B team and we only played 1 race. it made for a better series, better games, and the maps were great.
opinions?
i find tournaments a little odd

Game is simply not balanced around mirror matches or Faction matches.
E.g. I can't see how OKW has any chance against Ostheer due the lack of smoke & a early sniper counter.
In the same way I ask myself how usf should counter an ISU that is supported by su76 or su85, not even thinking what a Katty salvo would do on a ambulance healing blob.

if the game is not balanced around mirror matches or Faction matches, how do you justify a simple BO3?
there has to be a better solution

The factions are designed and balanced around playing against Axis or Allies, so thats already a gigantic reason.
Secondly, what do you mean justifying a Best of 3? A best of 3 allows players to both play what may be the "overpowered" or cheesy faction, and the decider match is influenced by how dominant they were in those matches by the VP score. What else could there even be?

The game does not demand you be good at all factions, just 2 of them.
You can ignore 50% of the factions (soon to be 60% with Brits) and still compete. Note in Starcraft, you can ignore 66% of the factions. After Brits come out, you can argue that the 6% doesn't even matter and the tournament format in SC2 is close enough to COH2 (not like it matters)

Just for the reason Dusty states.
If you want to get as clear an image as possible on what player is the best player, removing the balance from the equation is a huge part of that.
God I can see it now, statistics threads that shows "all who win play with faction X, faction X OP" Thats a flamewar you don't want.
It just means all players will compete on equal terms and the end result cannot be debated. Best player won simply.

I was actually thinking about running a tournament more similar to wc3/sc format, where the starting map for each round is announced beforehand. A coin toss decides who gets faction selection. The loser of the first match gets to pick the next map (from a pool) and the loser of that (if necessary) gets to pick the final map.

SHOUT IT OUT!
KoRneY: @aerafield It's possible that it is underpriced for what it is capable of now, no need to go full retard and take it immediately as a massive problem. It costs 60 more MP than a pz.3 and in 2v2 the barrage can be quite strong.

OKSpitfire: I do like that they made the Stuka more expensive instead of nerfing it into the ground though. Found it pretty unsatisfying to use before that buff a while back....

aerafield: USF already is by far the shittiest faction in terms of countering blobbing and turtling, now they supposedly have one overtuned tool locked behind a BG and it's immediately a massive problem?

Lady Xenarra: I think post-2.0 Whizbang buffs, the price is too low esp since the Stuka got nerfed in cost too. Speaking of which, how exactly is one supposed to successfully dive this Sherman in disguise? Med tank spam running into SSFs?

Rosbone: It is also hard to expect Relic to help Coh2 when they cant even make working menus in Coh3 yet, 2 years after release and at full price+ for DLCs. Thats like asking a fish to do calculus.

Rosbone: But this last patch has made good progress for grabbing players. All we can hope is Coh3 gets to Coh2s quality level before everyone abandons the franchise. Its Relic so they will completely f*%k it up as usual. But its a hope/cope.

Rosbone: Relic wants Coh2 to fail so players will migrate to Coh3. It is hard to blame them since Coh3 sucks so bad. It needs all the help it can get.
