General Information


Thread: Luvnest's state of the game report12 Dec 2014, 17:18 PM RNG is by far the worse thing about this game. In COH1 it always felt like the better player won. In COH2, it always feels like the luckiest player wins. I watch pro replays from tourneys and it feels the same way a lot of times. In: Lobby
Thread: Pathfinding23 Nov 2014, 09:28 AM Jump back to quoted post22 Nov 2014, 23:02 PMMr. Someguy Pathfinding was complained about since the release of CoH1, it's not an easy thing to fix. COH1's pathfinding is fine ... I could reliably get my units to back up. In COH 2, my scout car will circle around in some obscene ballet even when shift queing reverse. The pathfinding for vehicles in this game is just so bad and unreliable in this game when this was simply not the case in vCOH. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Is anyone playing this game with steady 60 fps?20 Nov 2014, 22:37 PM I have a very fast comp (290 and i5 2500k) and the game performance is terrible. Game starts out at 100fps+ but bad programming and network code causes unit response to plummet and framerate to drop into the 40's the more stuff is going on. This game is from a technical perspective one of the worst-performing titles out there. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Performance hit? Again?12 Nov 2014, 18:25 PM Loading is not the biggest problem. It's the in-game stuttering and unit response time lags that only get worse over time as the game seems to stutter calculating true sight. It's the most fucking frustrating thing in the world to not be able to micro units out of stuff like grenades because there is an over 1 second response time. Yeah they improved it 160 ms. BFD, there was over 1 second response time before and there is over 1 second response time now. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why is there no hold ground button in this game?12 Nov 2014, 03:15 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2014, 22:23 PMdasheepeh Maybe youre better off playing your beloved Starcraft 2 chess game with "essential" RTS features and having your fun there, instead of coming here and spreading toxicity. Why can't COH learn from other games? SC2 definitely learned from other RTS's including previous versions of itself? This is a fanboy argument and not really worth responding too. Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2014, 22:28 PMKatitof What if I told you that it already got that function? It would be just renamed stop button. \ Only it doesn't work that way does it? Vehicles will chase out of cover or placement. Maybe ground units don't but valuable fuel-based units definitely chase. Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2014, 23:59 PMelchino7 This would had been a real concern on a previous patch. Your units dance way less than before and they stay on cover. Instead of asking for a hold ground, you should ask a button for ALL UNITS for hold fire. Well if the functionality is the same it would be great. Maybe infrantry doesn't, but vehicles certainly do. And as for units "sticking" precision movement is actually a little more difficult now as nudging your units is difficult as they will default to the nearest cover when you sometimes want to dance out of range. It is unsettling but that wasn't what my original point was about anyways. Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2014, 00:07 AMCieZ Get off your high horse you ignorant idiot. What you're asking for is literally already in the game via the stop command. Hell, hold ground is actually the default functionality of a squad. If you tell them to move to a spot, they'll go there and engage anything in range (seeking cover if possible) but they will not actually move on or chase stuff on their own. But I guess you probably already knew that, since you're so good at this game and stuff. Seriously though, go away. Maybe next time do your homework before trying to come to the forums and cry about something that you're utterly wrong about. Might help. Just a thought. Only it's not. It doesn't apply to vehicles who always chase things. Jump back to quoted post12 Nov 2014, 01:13 AMEnkidu Wow, Romeo, you're way more polite than I would have been. Seeing someone insult you like that out of their own ignorance is kind of infuriating though. I hope a mod locks this and bans that trash. I didn't use any ad hominem attacks though a lot of people in this community have attacked me for pointing out an obvious issue. If you want the game to keep bad aspects, that's your perogative, but taking personal affront to that is fanboyish. This game is far from perfect. I guess at this point the only people left are diehards. This game is so inferior to vCOH in so many ways and it only got marginally better after the last patch. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why is there no hold ground button in this game?11 Nov 2014, 22:20 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2014, 21:36 PMKhan Wut? Units only chase other units if you've ordered them to attack said unit. Otherwise they remain stationary. Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2014, 21:46 PMilGetUSomDay Some one does not know how the commands in an RTS work So here is some enlightenment: A unit will not leave the spot it is unless given a command. If you give them a command they will execute it to the best of their ability until the die, are given another command, or the command cannot be done. So a tank that is sitting around cannot and will not move unless you order it to attack another. So the lesson to be learned here is that if you tell your unit to start firing at another unit, make sure you remember to re micro it because it will pursue the unit unless told otherwise, your unit dies, or the enemy unit is no longer in vision (this can be because they died as well). God narrow thinking like this is the reason why games stay bad. This is a feature in Starcraft and other RTS'es. It is a simple request and easy enough to implement and strictly improves gameplay. People like you can simply continue using your apm for other things and people who do care are better off. It is a strict improvement. And it makes a huge difference which is why it is in games like Starcraft II ... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why is there no hold ground button in this game?11 Nov 2014, 21:23 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Nov 2014, 20:56 PMRomeo What would that button do that Stop does not do? Because it would HOLD GROUND. Is English not your first language? Units chase other units and run out of cover all the time for no reason at all when you leave them alone. It's beyond retarded.

Thread: Ostheer vs USF11 Nov 2014, 20:49 PM The game is pretty badly balanced, mainly because of the maps. OST vs USF is similar to US versus Wehrmacht in first game only the maps are much worse and grenadiers do less damage at all ranges than rifles. Why there is no map rotation is beyond me. Even starcraft II rotates every few months. The game is so fucking stale and boring with shit maps like road to Kharkov still in the pool for 1v1. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Why is there no hold ground button in this game?11 Nov 2014, 20:47 PM Seriously ... It's so fucking annoying to have a tank chase and then die when you are microing across the map for a second. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Which faction is most challenging for you?11 Nov 2014, 08:05 AM Ostheer for sure. It seems like everything is balanced for OKW and USF. Ostheer use to depend on their machine guns in vCOH but now it's mostly grenadier spam and hoping you can blob more effectively than the other guy. It's really shit gameplay versus vCOH or that could just be how bad and stagnant the map pool is. Why does it never rotate? In: COH2 Gameplay
