What have they done to this game?

Team games seem to be badly broken as far as balance goes.. and balance only seems to get worse with each patch rather than better.

I also hear they don't care about anything other than 1v1 balance. This is like a big slap in the face to those of us who play only team games.

I am definitely looking for coh2 alternatives at this point. There are so many things about this game that are awesome but they just can't seem to get balance right at least in team games.

I'm pretty sure they will fix things in the future when they realize it is in their best interest to balance the game for all players/game modes. But for now I'm finding something else to play.

1v1 is where the skill its at. 3v3 and 4v4 are fun modes played by people with not enough balls to go 1v1.

I really love the condescending snobbery of 1v1 players on any videogame.


Despite the fact that organized team sports and games are by far the most popular. I know popularity is not an argument, but saying that there is no skill involved in team games? Sod off.

Having played 1v1 almost to exclusion of other modes in COH1 and got sick to my stomach of it, i can say 1v1 has far less depth and variety then team modes. 1v1 there is no consideration of broader team strategy, synergy or multitasking like 1v1 does. Allot of the stuff that flies in 1v1 doesn't work in team games vice-versa.

Team games are my bread and butter in COH2, unbalanced as all hell, but still much more rewarding and fun.

Hi,

Yeah, team games are fun but you can easily get carried or carry other team mates if they do mistakes. But in 1v1 your mistakes can cost you the game. You mentioned organised team sports, please tell me of a RTS where team games have become Esports? Starcraft 2 and 1 Esport scene is all about 1v1.

Don't worry, balance is also a bit off in the more competitive modes (1v1 / 2v2).
They apparently screwed up some values in the patch, and match making is still a WIP it seems :/

Rumors say there will be a hotfix soon, to adress some issues.

Game itself is great. Teamgames require a good amount of planning and coordination as allies.

Thats how it always was.

if you say it isn't balanced, start playing 1v1's. This will improve your play which will help you a lot in teamgames after

Yes, let's just ignore the fact that team-oriented games and MMOs are the fastest growing gaming community. I prefer 1vs1 myself but only because team games in COH are poorly designed and balanced.
Relic would misjudge their potential player base if they just make games for 1vs1. IMO, team play in COH requires totally new game modes that set it apart from 1vs1 design.

aerafield: @LimaOscarMike I would say nowadays is a decent time to try CoH3. If you loved CoH2 however, there is a solid chance you're gonna dislike CoH3

LimaOscarMike: My laptop can't even run COH3. Should I get them on my Series X or is it dead yet?

Rosbone: One of my last major gripes about Coh3. Price is still too high I feel for growth. But progress is always good.
Last Saturday, 04:43 AM
Rosbone: I am not 100% sure but I think Relic actually fixed up the skirmish menus a little last patch. If so, thank you and keep it coming.

Osinyagov: Suddenly, coh2 is slowly dying, but you can play it, playerbase still big enough

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.
