Thread: Coh still cranking27 Oct 2015, 22:56 PM Jump back to quoted post27 Oct 2015, 20:19 PMbulatcr This topic isn't about being good or bad if you haven't noticed. Everything can be called irritation and there are enough of it in coh2 too. Srly every kind of spam is irritation, it's not the game, it's players who do that. The question is does it work? If doesn't it means game is okay cause you can counter it if does it means game isn't okay. So in coh1 you were able to counter every kind of spam, there are nothing wrong with game in that case. Even in the perfect rts game can be irritations. Just say spam and list all units. I agree with this. The beauty of the game was people coming up with crazy strats to win then others coming up with counter strats. Some people play "all in" on there chosen method while others like to play more reactivly. I can remember losing badly to certain strats for a while and getting real irritated before learning to counter them without even thinking about it. I think your list of irritating play styles is in fact just a list of things that beat you. sniper spam in team games is indeed frustrating but takes decent skill from teammates to pull off as losing a sniper is a big mp loss. If I saw someone doing this in 1v1 I would laugh at being handed an easy win. In: COH Central
Thread: I can't play Wehrmacht properly27 Oct 2015, 02:26 AM I find the same thing as you but the best way to play wher (against US) is to lock off a small portion of the map and build up patiently with mixed arms gradually expanding out. countering seems to be key, Once the US rushes you hopefully you can see him off then take another point locking down on that. If you spread your forces without totally securing your front line then I find US just flanks everywhere smashing you off the map. Thing to remember is that this needs to be timed pretty well, There comes a point when callopies or howies hit the field and you need to be expanded out to at least half the map or well into vehicles otherwise your stronghold will get wiped. The basic idea is to hold until late game giving you the advantage In: COH Central

Last I checked cars from a few years ago also have worth If the games not worth supporting as its no longer making any money then releasing it for free makes perfect sense. This could (and would) bring people into the genre, f2p games are big business right now, however in this case it would likely that once people take the punt and find out how great it is then then they are likely new coh2 customers that wouldn't have existed before. I mean shit i bought it... Also continuing to charge for it when features are missing / broken from original game seems a bit rich even if it is cheap as chips. Coh is sure to die in the not to distant future (bless its soul) but I get the feeling they are actually trying to hurry this up. Really guts me as even though i own coh2 already I wont be moving to it afterwards. "Rose colored glasses" is some bullshit, I went 6 for 1 on coh last night after work. I also fire up coh2 for a game maybe once every month to see if any progress but now even two years on Im resigned to the fact that its never going to rival the original with this flood of commanders and factions being the focus. p.s. circle jerks on this subject are good, if there wasn't then its fate is sealed without even the smallest chance something may still happen.

Thread: Coh still cranking20 Oct 2015, 23:35 PM Coh 1 is the best game ever made in my opinion and I have been playing since about 2009 on a daily basis. During this time even though I have played solidly I have had periods of losing interest then becoming addicted again for no apparent reason. Im going through and addicted period again now and usually get 4 or 5 games in after work each night. I have noticed that the game is still far from dead. I can get an auto match in less than a minute and this is evening over in New Zealand. Basic has died down a bit but i reckon this would come back up if THE RANKS WERE ADDED BACK!!!!! Comon sega do something with the game rather than just let it slowly die off, fix the ranks, release for free.... something.... In: COH Central
Thread: Does CoH1 have a future?22 Apr 2015, 04:39 AM In any case I think they should be releasing it for free if they are not going to at least fix the rank system up. Still charging for a game that has been gimped rather than improved sounds a bit wrong to me. They could of course just shut it down but releasing it for free might get some new players into coh2 via that route. In: COH Central
Thread: I miss the old guard,: where are they??22 Apr 2015, 04:27 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Apr 2015, 00:54 AMCieZ If all of you guys love vCoH so much, and all of you want to play it... why not play it... literally no one is stopping you. When SSBB came out and part of the smash community liked it, the other part hated it - what did people do? gasp the people that played SSBM played SSBM, the people that played SSBB played SSBB. Now they're both highly competitive fighters. When SC 2 came out what did people that loved SC:BW do? They played SC:BW... When CSS came out the people that hated it played CS 1.6... Examples all over the place. So much talk and so much of people doing nothing for the vCoH community except whining about how bad CoH 2 is. Makes no sense. Go do something for the community you claim to care about so much and the game you claim to love so much instead of shitposting about a game you don't even play. I still play coh nearly every night for a couple of matches. Thing is it has lost a good chunk of the competitiveness due to the ranking system being all screwed since the server move. I play auto and basic match and cant stand the fact that ranks are no longer there. It means you can smash noobs or stack teams all day for a good record but actually be shithouse. It was easier to get games in the past matching up ranks rather than taking so much notice of records. In: COH Central
Thread: I miss the old guard,: where are they??17 Apr 2015, 03:25 AM Jump back to quoted post16 Apr 2015, 21:14 PMInverse For me, the game was fun because of the competition. It was fun and exciting when people were really trying hard to win and compete in tournaments. The last CoH1 SNF season was the pinnacle of that, and the Symbiosis vs. aljaz series I casted was probably the high point of my time around CoH. The fact that those two players approached the game completely differently and yet still had comparable levels of success made their games truly enjoyable to analyze, and the StratTalks I recorded in preparation for that series are among those I'm most proud of. The fact that CoH2 doesn't even have the potential to replicate those moments because of Relic's design decisions is the main reason why I have no desire to play it, and why there really isn't a competitive scene to speak of. CoH1 doesn't have the activity and community necessary to make it an exciting competitive game anymore, and CoH2 doesn't have the game design necessary to make it one either. With games like Dota 2 and CSGO around, I just don't find myself wanting to play CoH anymore when I can have a far more fulfilling competitive experience elsewhere. I still play CoH1 occasionally, but stomping 9 games out of 10 isn't very fun. My feelings exactly although I still get a good challenge as the remaining players are usually pretty decent. Thing is the game still holds up graphically etc I was quite keen on the "HD Remake" or free release idea as this could bump the community back up a bit. Things were still pretty humming right up until the time coh2 came out which is what hurts the most. I was waiting for it like everyone else and preordered as soon as it was available but instead of giving me another decade of awesome competitive entertainment it bored the crap out of me in less then 100 hours and stole 3/4 of the community. Gay shit!!! In: COH Central
Thread: RELIC! Why is vCoH Lobby still broken!?23 Dec 2014, 21:09 PM If they arnt going to fix the couple of little game breaking bugs such as the missing games and the rank system then they should stop charging for it and release it for free. Might get the community going a bit and will no doubt convince some poor suckers to fork out for coh2 In: COH Central
Thread: is coh to competitive yet?3 Dec 2014, 01:47 AM Hmmmm ok guys thanks for the replies I think ill stick to coh 1 for a bit longer then. I really miss the old community and seeing the responses on this its obvious most have moved onto Coh2 which I would really love to do but just cant at the moment it just dosen't give me the enjoyment/thrill that i get from the old system. I did have a 2v2 auto a month or so ago (first game since a week after release) and cleaned up which should have been ultra satisfying but wasn't strangly In: Lobby
Thread: is coh to competitive yet?2 Dec 2014, 22:41 PM Sooo what is the status of Coh2 and leaderboards ranks etc? I refused to move from coh1 until proper ranks were displayed in game(not the playtime rank) even though ive had it since beta. I know there is a steam leaderboard now which is something but sucks that it isnt part of the game and i hate the fact that you cannot get a idea of your opponents skill in automatch until you look them up afterwards. Also would like to see win/loss ratios ingame. Is there any word on this stuff? I havent been keeping up with patches or anything but I did jump in for one game a month or so ago and it looked as though custom matches have made it in so just wanted to know if the game is ever going to go the competitive route like the original in the future. Has there been any polls on this? Since I last played the game it seems to be geared for casuals which in my opinion makes it completely boring and I would think will give it a fraction of the longevity of the original which I still play on a daily basis.
