Can we get a hotfix patch at least??

Now there is a tournament for COH1 could you guys please vote to patch and just remove the bugs from steam edition? I really hate CoH2, but CoH1 compared to CoH2 is too broken that I rather to play CoH2 with all of its stupid casual pay to win features.

What I want to see getting fixed:

1. Ranked system

2. Players rank being shown in Loading

3. Return of Arranged Teams mode

4. Volksgrenadier upkeep cost bug (USA is autoloss against both PE and Wehrmacht because of no upkeep cost for Axis)

5. Riflemen veterancy not being awarded correctly

3. Return of Arranged Teams mode

this is the only thing we need for make it again popular

1) You mean that not top 10 is playing vs rank 500? Well need more players then playing at the same time the same modus.

2) Ehm nope! Because then half ot the players would instant quit in loadingscreen ( Btw there is a programm called Celo! So you can see the ranks)

3) Well search/ get some friends for premade team. And if one would remove it. Teams could not play this game anymore in 90% of the case

4) nope

5) what you mean exactly?

4. Volksgrenadier upkeep cost bug (USA is autoloss against both PE and Wehrmacht because of no upkeep cost for Axis)

dude it isnt a bug.

dude it isnt a bug.

it was not like this back in 2.602 wehrmacht was never easy win army at early game but now volks blob is everything every axis player is doing cause volks are better than rifles even with bars and they just go this annoying assault nades ability all the time or FTFL being activated. Wehrmacht was always about MG micro but now It is only volks blob micro.

Wehrmacht was always about MG micro but now It is only volks blob micro.

I don't get your 2.602 reference. There is no functional change in the game between 2.602 and 2.700. The only differences were to external issues and drophacking. In fact the game has fewer hackers now than before. Its age and lack of popularity means the best known hacks have not been kept up to date.

While I have a lot of complaints about COH1 design I have to say that Wehr isn't "broken" OP. And this is coming from an avowed US fanboy.

The way Wehr is designed it is a very cheesey-strategy-friendly faction. You can buy the vet which means every unit of that class you build will be a "better" unit of that class. A loss of that unit is like losing an unvetted version because the cost to replace is now the same. If US loses a vetted unit you can replace the unit but the veterancy gain is lost forever (and will be harder to achieve against later-game vetted opponents).

Unvetted volks will get chewed up by US riflemen at mid-close range (so close and stay in cover). With vet2 you will have trouble vs them even if you have BARS until you have some veterancy on rifles. The counter is not rifles (unless they have vet) but strong anti-infantry; snipers, armor, flame engineers.

Watch replays to learn what volk-spam means. Chances are they are doing one of two things at mid-low levels of skill. They will build a med bunker and camp around it to turn those so-cheap volks into grens (at 88 mp cost per unit). against this artillery and other anti-camp strategies are useful. As is the US mortar, though be careful, if it kills men and not the bunker you are feeding the Wehr strat. Smoke will negate much of the defense of such a cap (except the mines) but flamers still do damage in smoke.

The other strat it might imply is skipping tech 2 or even tech 3 for a fast higher tech. In which case you should be avoiding RIfle upgrades and prepare some anti-tank against the pumas or OST that are about to come. (I am no expert, but the hint would be if they are vetting their infantry. if yes, volk spam to T2 and camp, if not, fast T3 or T4.)

5. Riflemen veterancy not being awarded correctly

There are certainly some bugs that could be EASILY fixed (we know because modders have done so easily). M10 misfire bug, Stag constant MG, others. None of these are hard coded bugs nor are they balance issues, though they would affect balance some.

And it is possible they might be able to fix showing rank in lobby since that was part of the original code, though it was easily gamed, so... meh.

Not sure what you mean about rifle veterancy. They get awarded vet just fine. Yes, it is annoying that they still need to kill 8 vet3 volks to vet up from 0 to 1, but fundamental parts of game design will not be changed at this point.

Arranged teams? That is a player base issue. If enough use it it will work. The logic of it is tautological. Nobody goes there because nobody goes there. If enough people used it then people would use it.

that isnt true u are only rusty flamer and bars kill volks blob maybe 3 flamer... ftfl is sometimes a problem.

i remember sandland he came back after a year or more he played against fhq volks blitz blob.

He killed this wehrmacht so easy and his opponent wasnt that bad.

its all about micro.

Every faction has free upkeep for all units before they hit certain population. For USA treshold is 6. For WM is 14.

This guys you are talking about is COH1 2009 semi finaler. If only you had bothered yourself to youtube my name with COH tag in it and see the frontlinenetwork shoutcasts about my play or at least you could search my name on GameReplays.org and see the results?

I was so good in the past blah blah blah, look at my name blah blah blah, I remember how you called me maphacker and cried after losing game and said exactly same words how good you were. So good and still doesn't understand how upkeep works.
2009... idk man but level wasn't that high like it was in 2011-2012. so your arguement is kind of bad, and guess what, I do not care.

We're patching CoH on Eastern Front since the steam release from June. Feel free to check it out. Most changes from Tommies Elite Mod were integrated, among bugfixes like M10 misfire Bug and sniper dances.

1) You mean that not top 10 is playing vs rank 500? Well need more players then playing at the same time the same modus.

2) Ehm nope! Because then half ot the players would instant quit in loadingscreen ( Btw there is a programm called Celo! So you can see the ranks)

5) what you mean exactly?

Half the players would quit in loading screen? jeez you would have to be a pussy to do that how do you think you rank up to begin with...beating higher ranked players. At the moment you have to go off win loss ratio which is stupid as because you have people that sit there stacking games all day with these amazing ratios and they are actually terrible. I find the peeps with even stats are usually the best.

Faction redesigned, see this thread:
http://www.easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=12145.0

*BUMP*

Relic / Sega please just som small fixes just like has been discussed so many times ..... m10 missfire... stag mg that never reloads ..... ranks on load screen .... etc .....

Add the community skin + soundpack and resell it like coh HD and make millions ffs !! Kreygasm

is it possible to remove the "bars" when automatching ? to avoid this when the other team is AT team and you get random mate and you feel like this poor soul:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDLf4nrmBbg&feature=youtu.be&t=4

and check out kaos new tourney ! https://www.coh2.org/news/63133/coh-will-never-die-iii
Legends will be back Kreygasm

//T0eCutter

Actually, Eastern Front mod fixes the issues like m10 misfire, mg bullshit and sniperspam already. And automatching with vanila factions works aswell (tested with US, Wehr and PE, brits are in redesign phase, but should work aswell). Ostheer and soviets can't join it though.

If more people would switch from the shitty official 2.700 this could be used as alternate platform for games. Afterall we're on steam and can support the game with patches on a weekly base.

While that is true, there are still bits and bobs that don't quite match properly I think, even in EF (see: lol5-man PGRens, the unforgivable hiccup that is the Romanian reward doctrine).

EDIT: Also, Brit redesign? Second coming of Royal Marines Commandlel? Gimme dat T2 Achilles.
