Don't know if we can discuss it since we are all under NDA whom are playing Alpha at least.

I don't know if I can discuss that I'm not in Alpha...

On topic: People who are in Alpha can't discuss mirror matches, but everybody else can (we are not bound by NDA right?)

I just hope it will be alpha/beta and custom matches only. It will kill "something" that CoH had, IMO.

im sure its just to keep people getting games and its not everyone playing one faction. and balance is balance. if something needs tweaked it'll show no matter what army u play against.

It has to go. It's not starcraft. It doesn't suit this game completely. Relic talked for hours about authenticity, i hope it only stays in alfa/beta.

Yeah I'd prefer to be keep no mirror matches it doesnt make sense to me. However if it were fun I'd let it slip aside for basic/skirmish matches.

Is it realistic? No.

Might it be weird? Yes.

That said, more variety is better. Almost always. Sure this will create some weird scenarios, but it will also require deeper understanding of the factions and some potentially interesting gamepplay (balance requiring).

So while it may not be "COH," it will not necessarily be bad, and might have the added bonus of increasing a player base that wants to focus on one race.

On that note, I've always thought that a German/Soviet/American, 3-race game (yes, ala Starcraft), is unfortunately the best fit, as it allows both variety and race focus. Sure, it's not "realistic," but the point here is to have the best gaming experience possible (with the secondary goal of a large player base). Why not give it a shot?

In starcraft, mirror matches are the most boring matches by far, that's why I don't want them in automatch. It's also just stupid; relic is aiming all the time at authenticity with true sight and cold tech and stuff, and also let the germans shoot the germans as if we're in some stupid post-nuclear europe?

this one to my best knowledge is not covered by nda as its already released informations.
(while im pretty sure we can't talk about the alpha expierence.)

also from what ive seen so far do not like this idea i think it breaks immersion in a way makes company of heroes unique. however if done right could be a idea that addes to gameplay and make match maker easier to handle. but i still rather have 2 sides like in vcoh.

Well, without going into any detail, CoH2 seems more suited for mirrors than US vs US or WM vs WM in vCoH, but I'm still against it.

I'm with everyone else saying it makes zero sense for ranked games. If people want to do it in basic matches then whatever.

The question is for what CoH2 (and the community) is aiming. A game that relies, like CoH1 on the entertainment factor, where mirror matches would definitely not the first choice, or are we aiming for a game that is able to become an e-Sport, which would probably need mirror matchups to make the game more competitive.
