Thread: Fixing the Brits14 Feb 2016, 18:41 PM They should've discarded the design of Brits from the first game which was that the Brits were suppose to sim city. Static games are so boring, and emplacements are so incredibly hard to balance properly and create awful, non-interactive games anyways. I think all these changes are smart and would create more fun gameplay. Emplacements from a game design standpoint is a dead-end and irritating for players. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: 6-Men crew for SU support units doesn't make sense.14 Feb 2016, 07:12 AM Yeah, always hated about this game that support crews had like 6 models. It makes the game so campy when people go that strat. Relic should change the game so that it's more interactive and there are less spammy strats and force this game to have more dynamic, tactical gameplay with combined arms. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Will nerf-buff BS ever be over?14 Feb 2016, 01:51 AM They don't even beta-test their changes. I don't know why, they did it once and had a good result and never did it again. Come on man ... In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Can we fix transports13 Feb 2016, 06:28 AM Jump back to quoted post13 Feb 2016, 01:07 AMRedT3rror All squad members should automatically teleport into the vehicle once they (all) are close enough. Furthermore squads should be able to enter slow driving vehicles (accelerating/deccelerating/rotating). It would greatly improve gameplay with those vehicles and their intended role. This has always been a big problem with the game. The designers made it so that every unit model has to move after the squad leader does and models each collide with each other and so they yo yo back and forth when doing simple things like entering vehicles. It's suppose to be realistic but given these engines awful optimization issues and the fact that input lag gets to 500ms+ in most games even under ideal lag conditions, it's literally a shit show.

Thread: Buttons becoming a lot less responsive13 Feb 2016, 06:12 AM It's not packet loss most likely. This game is badly optimized and everyone gets microstutter and missed inputs. The game also has memory leaks so you need to reboot after every match. It's just the game engine being really poor, nothing you can do and I've tried. I get 120fps+ on every game out there but COH2 comes to a crawl after like 10 minutes. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Lets talk flanking! (BreadMarshLivePlace) 12 Feb 2016, 07:59 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2016, 19:18 PMSturmtigerCobra All I need to learn from COH2 forums; Because it's a bad game and only trolls would punish themsleves by playing it. Saying there is any technique to this game gives relic way too much credit. Anyone can tell there's no technique when I see Brits spam AEC cars and one-shot squad wipes in ESL finals. In: Lobby
Thread: Lets talk flanking! (BreadMarshLivePlace) 12 Feb 2016, 07:58 AM Its so sad how little control and micro matter in COH2. Wehrmact vs Americans in the first game was a thing of beauty where pro Americans would constantly flank Wehr positions and there'd be constant back and forth. The control in this game is not only abysmal, flanking really doesn't matter at all. Gameplay is just campy and constantly winning repeated die rolls rather than eking out incremental advantage through better play. Nearly everything is metagaming and hoping your units don't ditz out on you. In: Lobby
Thread: Just Friggin' Nerf Arty Covar Already12 Feb 2016, 07:54 AM Never saw this ability as ostheer but just saw it abused as OKW. My god, relic is grossly fucking negligent in balancing this game. How does an ability that doesn't telegraph itself, counters everything, have a huge targeting radius, and auto-targets make it into the game? SERIOUSLY. HOW??? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: BUG: Please remove the pathing change12 Feb 2016, 06:01 AM They should revert to vCOH pathing. Seriously. I shift-queue normally in a lot of games and units respond fine. This game, units will do figure 8's through each queued point. Micro is actually punished in this game: it's absolutely ridiculous. Reverse move was never a good change nor were any of the pathing changes. Why is shift clicking behind your vehicle so bad? Yeah it takes more clicks but units responded predictably in vCOH. In this game, you play RNG with how your units move too and it affects a lot of higher level games. It's so ridiculous to see someone lose a game because of units just circling around like fools.

Thread: Remove Auto-Cover from Game12 Feb 2016, 05:57 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Feb 2016, 06:46 AMcomm_ash This is a non-issue. If you don't want your squad to seek cover, press the stop button once. Before this was here, it was very hard to get squads behind cover, which led to engagements not going well. Another way to mitigate this is to look at the little unit "shadows" when you are ordering your troops somewhere. If the shadows clump around cover, issue the order slightly to the side. You obviously have never played any computer game on a high-level competitive level. Units need to move predictably and consistently and the game shouldn't throw such idiotic roadblocks into your control of the game. Every other competitive esports game is designed in such a way that you will know how your character or units will respond and move on in order to better multitask. Having to wait and see what the pips show or what the shadows show vastly decreases apm and the ability to multitask. People who say that it's better than before are only partially right. It's better in some ways and worse in others and overall far inferior to every other top Esports game out there. Both changes were completely unnecessary, vCOH had movement that was fairly predictable but this game is utter nonsense sometimes in the way units just bounce back and forth like pudding morons.
