I was about to ask how is this different from all of the other entitled whine threads on here, then I realised you were probably being sarcastic in the title. |
This was actually my 2nd guess. That 4:1 was totally decided by the ball.
Well it would have been 2:2 at half time with England playing the better if the referee gave goals which were 1m over the line. Also how was Kloses first goal not a foul. But I have to hand it to Germany, they have done well.
Anyway back on topic, it just goes to show that even in such an almighty game like football, there is so much bugged out shit that happens due to referee mistakes, it almost decides every game. It's like somebody losing at COH2 then using a drophack (e.g. Suarez handball in that world cup that stopped an african team from reaching the semis). |
You from Argentina?
No worse, I'm an englishman living in Germany since 8 years. |
Yeah, I've definitely ot my money's worth from CoH2.
But as for being ready for ESL - imagine Adidas made a bad football for the World Cup. One that would sometimes spin strangely and fly unpredictably. Yes, the better team would probably win (#adapt,lol) but would it be good for the observers?
ESL is about people watching. Currently I don't think CoH2 is very enjoyable to watch. Same strats every time, buggy moments... Meh.
Adidas did make a crap ball for the SA world cup in 2010. Germany got to play with it all year in the Bundesliga which is why they did so well there, and eventually built a platform for them to win this time around (Germany still have more access to the WC balls than other countries, they use it for the Pokal/cup matches IIRC).
Actually, sports have a lot of bad decisions and RNG, on top of that bribery and biased officials, drug use etc. Giving Arjen Robben a penalty in the last minute of injury time is far far worse than an MG setting up the wrong way. I still think Relic have things to iron out but I dont think it will ever be perfect, and neither are real sports.

It could be better but as is it is passable for ESL tournament, the best player still wins most of the time.
I have seen huge SC2 tournaments won by pure unbeatable cheese and everybody accepts it because 'OMG BLIzzard saving esports Day9 Jesus build order win'. Also thing like mutalisk stacking in broodwar and loads of other exploits and cheeses which didn't stop that game.
Also it's funny because whilst telling relic to focus on the details the OP spelt the first word of his title wrong. (well more ironic, I'm not having a go, my post is also full of errors). |
I got your idea,pretty surprised when heard out those bugs about DOW2
Yes this exact thing happened quite often in DoW2 (MG facing wrong way). Plenty of other totally unexplainable things also, often community members had to dig through the files to fix them. Relic programming has an element of the arcane arts where the unexpected happens. It's not sooo bad in COH2, you shouldn't compare with SC2 or LoL etc because these games are extremely simple, even as simple as decade old games like BroodWar or WC3 for example.
Optimisation has gone to shit though. |

It shows shock squads wiping out multiple VGs and SPs at once and a squad wipe of a full health FSJ squad by grenade (I hate that shit on 4 man squads), amongst other things. Should have wiped that MG34 after the smoke grenade also but I guess OP knew he had a flanking Penal flamer coming in.
It was a bit one sided because the other guy lost his truck unfortunately but I would have expected 2 volks in green cover and a SP to kill a shock squad but they hardly scratched it. |
I don't buy the notion that Maxim is "over-performing". Compared to every other non-doctrinal infantry unit it is the only unit that really performs at all.
Leave it as is, or if changes are made, make up for it with other sov unit buffs.
Why do I keep hearing this. It's not march deploymemt patch anymore. Sov early game was balanced relative to Ostheer in the Elbe patch. Don't forget that soviets can drop mines fast and cheaply. What do you spend your 500 munitions on when you go T2? |
set up time is ok for me, but give it twice as much pack up time. that way maxims can be flanked
I like this idea.
Or give them low penetration so you can kill them with light vehicles (kubel, 221/222, halftrack ost and okw flak). I think they kill these light vehicles almost as fast a Zis). |
I sometimes made a couple of dodges, then go for captain first. Then withdraw whilst the captain is being made so you have fuel to supervise a stuart as soon as the captain comes in.
I think withdraw and refit is the strongest part of this doctrine. It means you don't have to build 4 riflemen and suffer from upkeep costs later, you can replace 1 or 2 squads with essentially free dodges. |
