This is the shit they should've been focusing on from the start. If they hadn't designed the game around DLC commanders and instead focused on selling cosmetics, CoH2 would be much, much better than it is right now.

This is absolutely true.
They were so greedy that they took the game every chance to grow.
They were (are?) all like "MONEY MONEY MONEY!!", the game itself only came after that.

I don't know if it's Relic's fault or SEGA's but it doesn't change the fact that this game was meant to be a milk cow from the start.

They knew that the name Company of Heroes was highly appreciated in the RTS community, so they saw their chance to make a fortune but to be honest they made as good as every mistake possible.

They mixed all money collecting ideas they knew together and created a monster that nobody (except us, the hard core of the game) wanted.

Let's list every method they tried to get more money out of the game:

• Pre-Order Bonusses
  
• Limited Game Editions
  
• Commanders that are clearly better than others but cost money
  
• Tank skins that cost money, in addition Faceplates
  
• Campaign additions (TOW) that cost money
  

In summary: If you bought Company of Heroes 2 without ANY further DLC pre warspoils you had a game that contained only multiplayer and a single player campaign. No TOW, no pre order bonusses, no skins, no commanders to stay viable online and that for a full priced (59,99 Euros) game.

That is simply not bearable.
Warspoils came way to late, 95% of the community had quit the game by that time and it still was only a drop in the bucket that was implemented poorly. Not because of the community but because they wanted players to stay in the game to spend more money on it (what is not reprehensible, at least they are still a company).

In short: The problem is that they took a look at the big Free2Play games such as League of Legends and were amazed by how RIOT makes a fortune out of selling cosmetic add ons. Then they simply took the idea one to one and didn't even think about the fact that CoH is a whole other genre and in addition a full priced game.

Then they slowly proceeded to try other tactics.
At the beginning, new commanders were released about every 2 months. Now they haven't released a new commander for about 8-9 months if I am correct. A new TOW campaign hasn't been released for over 1 1/2 year. Why? Because they didn't sell as well as planned.

zero usf games.... fucking none!

this 5 minute m20 "abuse", as you call it, is something you have never even attempted. Because again, you haven't touched the faction.

This argument of "i played against them so I know what im talking about" is bullshit. period.

Play them this patch, face the new mg42, then come talk.

Wow, I never thought that I would agree to something you write because you write bullshit most of the time, I mean, really, almost all the time.

But this is straight on point. It's impossible to judge a faction only from the experiences when playing AGAINST them. Some months ago I almost played 100% Axis and thought 'wow the Allies are so OP oh my god'. Then I once tried Soviets and got stomped. So I learned to accept when the other player is better than me.

Guys, just do it like me, play as allies.
I have won 14 of my 15 last games and sometimes played really REALLY bad.
But it's so relaxing because you simply bleed the Axis so hard (especially OKW) that you can make those mistakes without being punished.

AND I DON'T EVEN OWN THE ELITE RIFLES.

Rifle,Rifle,Rifle,Rifle,Lieutenant,M20,Major,Sherman arrives about 9 or 10 minutes in the game.
Drop a AT gun if needed (mostly not). And build a Jackson next. Meanwhile harass the shit out of the Fritz and plant mines EVERYWHERE (very important).

Yesterday I faced a King Tiger and a single Jackson was my only AT option.
BUT WAIT!
Because of my Ammunition float I got about 750 Mun and was able to constantly keep up P47 for about 8 minutes.
I don't have to say that they tore apart the KT while my Scott bled the hell out of his blob.

There is still a majority of 90% playing as Axis, so trying Allies won't break the game. Give it a try. I hade the most fun for ages in the last week.

Indeed. It's something I found out verry late, too.

Yes, it's very good when paired with OKW for obvious reasons. It also it's funny when it makes shit maps like Moscow Outskirts actually playable.

Thanks for the enlightment, guys. This can be a good reason to play the Opel Blitz/Tiger Doctrine.
If you manage to hide your Opel very well you can prevent those dirty cutoffs.
It reminds me of the good old times where I put my Vampir right beneath the enemy's base in Semois

Keep them coming, Relic. Also, am I the only one imagining Nigo like this?

I'm sure Nigo would prefer CTRL (or CMD) + R.
