We recognize that you might have found your way here after hearing the news that StarCraft II is going free-to-play very soon—on November 14, to be exact. Curious what that actually means? We know “free-to-play” can mean a lot of things for different games, but we’re here to assure you that when we say that we’re making StarCraft II free-to-play, we really mean it.
Starting November 14, you’ll have free access to the original Wings of Liberty single-player campaign and every Co-op Commander, and will be able to unlock access to StarCraft II’s competitive multiplayer content for free.
StarCraft II go F2P, should Coh2 be free 2 play too?

Though some commanders at the moment may as well be pay to win for certain factions.

More players -> better matchmaking.
More players -> potentially additional revenue for relic -> potentially more support for the game.
I got more than my money's worth at this point

What they could do is going in sc2 path: release game for free but not for automatch for example. Or just give all factions for free but don't let free players get supply when they play factions they didn't pay for, so that they have to pay for commanders instead.
In sc2, as a non paying player, you will only be able to play ranked matches after playing 10 [sic] non-ranked matches before on that day.

But I think it'd be more of an incentive to DLC though. No idea what the DLC sales look like compared to game sales.
Full price game and a ton of DLC closed my wallet to COH since tiger ace release.

I basically think that the base game was done wrong along with all of the DLC, the later Army additions were done better.
Since for example I barely play Soviets, Wehrmacht and USF but I really like OKW and UKF.
And then there's the DLC to further fuel the economy of the game.
But I guess Relic's sale managers are smarter than me...

If you want single player content you gotta pay.
Also you start dry on credits, only default/vanilla commanders, and you gotta make your way up there with the commanders and skins.

Apart from that, new players would be most welcome at this stage.

Let's not begin about the horror that will become automatch with new players on your side(or the opponents).
