COH2 is Utterly Ruined!
Posts: 5
I was overcome with joy at the sight of a new COH game but alas it turned out as a gigantic waste of money and time.
Here are my biggest problems with it:
I like the campaigns, but love the skirmish mode. With COH2 it isn't possible as I have to be online. Which I can't as my internet connection is slower than a dead donkey.
To give you an idea of how slow:
I had to register to say this and upon registering the was a capcha but i couldn't even see it, just a blank box.
So no skirmish mode, add to that the horrific stutter that occurs every couple of seconds or so.
I want my money back but as it is a PC game the store thought that it took me 5 days (from date of purchase) to copy it and now want to get a full refund and still play the game, i cannot get my money back
Once again a glorious game ruined by covetous companies that are more worried about pirate copies than a awesome game. The first two were truly awesome, the third one could work in a pinch. but this CANNOT.
What I will do in future is get a friggin pirate copy and see if I like the darn thing before I spend my hard earned bucks on a utterly useless game.

Game files are stored locally and therefore game can be cracked and launched without Steam... with no problems giving access to any local content.

I wanted to persuade the fellas to get this as well but there is no way in hell they would. Or if they did I would be in for a pounding.
Perhaps I should wait and see if the pirates have a better solution, given time they probably will. - and then people wonder why there are so many people pirating these days and games get more expensive as a result.

Its got an i5 2500K CPU
Intel P67 Motheboard
16GB DDR3 memory
1TB Hard drive for the WIN 7 OS
MSI 650GT
850Watt PSU
Not brand spanking new, but it gets any job done with room to spare.
Metro last light was on high graphics with only one or two stutters that was barely noticeable.

Wasn't there this service that tried to stream all the game data on request? Don't remember the name from the top of my head.
As for online play, you don't have to be online to play CoH2 (I did, because I had an internet outage a couple of weeks ago).
As for using Steam, 5 million concurrent users per day.

Yes, well if you are forced to eat nothing but rice and don't have much of a choice it will have to do. But its bad if you can remember the good ol days. Poor analogy, i know.

That's not why people pirate games. Main reason is that there's no Regional pricing.
Take for example such countries as Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland etc...., you cannot rly expect for a majority of people having an average monthly salary a 450EUR or less (and that might be as well a whole family budget in most of cases), when the food and other expenses costs fairly the same or even more expensive then for example in UK or Germany (in UK you can wash the floors and drive a Lexus lol) to spend 60 bucks on a game...
I understand when you can spare the money and it is enough for you - but i have to tell that majority of Worlds population cannot afford that kind of prices just because they were born in poor countries.

Steam is ruining my game. Thanks for everyone's help but Steam did not take into account those users who don't have a good internet connection.
It took me four days just to "Activate" it and update it.
Thanks all, but the next time I see stupid Steam, i'm running away.
Cheers
