Hi
I was wondering - when do you think will we see CoH2 for consoles?

There are some indications that it -migth- come for consoles/controllers:

1st: Relic have stated they found a "good way" of playing RTS games with controller: Eurogamer article

2nd: In game, it shows a small blue icon showing that the players are using mouse and keyboard. Why would it do that, if there are not coming an alternative input method?

3rd: CoH2 realeased for steamOS. SteamOS is a controllerbased linux operating system, meant for TVs and living rooms.

I know it won't be good for competitive, but on the other hand relic have a lot of focus on the casual market. And for a lot of people it would be a much more affordable way to play the game.

Alternatively it migth not be for consoles, but become playable with controllers - which will be nice for people like me, who have build a steambox.

To be honest, as nice as that would be, I don't think that they will do it. Personally it will take a hell of a lot of new optimization and coding required to be compatible with consoles in general.Too much hassle for a game that is already a few years old.

As a result I don't think that we will see a COH 2 for consoles but who knows maybe if there is a COH 3 then they will be able to do it. Either way if they do then it should be fun watching those console users squirm at the power of micro management.

So yeah dude sorry but it ain't going to happen.

Voice & gesture controls could be precise and fast enough to allow competitive RTS play. Game pad controls on the other hand would be laughably awful.

Isn't CoH2's code a mess? It probably won't happen.

To let it fail like C&C on console? They'll lose way too much on that

Either way it seems strange that they have done the three things, that i pointed out in the OP.

It migth not be for consoles, but i think that we will see some gamepad oriented changes for steamOS at least.

If it happens, prepare to see this forum take in ten fold the number of balance whiners.

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

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:.
