Why do I not want all this? I paid £60 for the game at release, and another £15 for WA - why the hell am I expected to pay more? This is BF4 levels of absurd amount of cash.

Relic used to be very generous with freebies - hell, we got The Last Stand, the greatest game mode ever in an RTS, FOR 100% FREE. Now you are all up for micro-economies, nickle and dimeing skins and everything inbetween? I feel like I'm being taken for a mug.

Nice to see consumerism is dead in COH2.org.

It's not about forcing you to buy things.

It's about giving us the option, if we want to, and allowing those things to contribute to the continuing costs of updates, patches and server hosting.

You can play the game with only a base purchase.
There have been map releases over time. That's free content.
You can play in Multiplayer with armies you don't own- essentially free content.
You can play on all the new Relic and community maps with just the base purchase. There are two dozen or so commanders absolutely free- plenty on release, some with registering, some given away for events.

CoH2 remains a great platform and you can play it with only the base purchase. You can play full multiplayer with only the cheaper OKW purchase, even.

Allowing more content does not devalue what you have, and the free stuff remains free stuff, and the game is the same game.


What have you LOST if people have the option to buy a slightly different variation of the units you have? What have you lost if people have different looking tank skins or coats or decals or faceplates?

The game at the core remains the same game and it's good. And it's supported, and your product retains value.

There's just more stuff for people that want it. If you don't want to play with it, don't, but why deny it to those that do?

Frankly, anything not using small arms needs a hold fire option. But alas, for some reason it's not in the UI by default.

Speaking of, why the hell did they take it AWAY from the SU-85?

And worse, because the system will randomly drop things you already have, you are actually being penalised for your work under the old system

Not entirely.

Commanders and skins, absolutely.

But bulletin duplicates are great. Before, we couldn't even have them. Now, we can actually equip multiple instances of the same bulletin.

Whilst their bonuses are usually reasonably small, tripling up on your favorite unit could well be a thing. 3x +4% penetration on the T-34, anyone?

(Or 3x +5% armour on the M3 scout car? )

I now have one of the US commanders. I do not have WFA and therefore am very sad that I'm so poor right now.

Welcome to the internets. Think there's an issue with the game? Omg LTP/Not OP/Dun nerf Muh Baybies.


People with the inability to read aside, it is odd that they start the game with a unit that can single-handedly wipe the floor with everyone else's starting unit- up to and including conscripts and riflemen.

It's not like the OKW actually need to build buildings with engineers for tiers. It wouldn't kill them to start with a rifle squad instead of sturmpioneers to help level the initial field.
