Your genuine optimism forces me to clarify I was making a satirical remark. I myself won't believe it's happening until it's done. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: light tanks and half tracks9 Oct 2015, 19:38 PM Personally, I'd rather direct-combat lighter vehicles' veterancy aid them in being more..."usable" later in the game over flat health buffs. Something like M3A1 Scout Cars gain range at vet 3 so they can keep away from Panzerfausts easier, or Flak HT gains bonus sight (if need be, only while set down) at vet 2 so they won't have to be nestled nicely in the rest of your forces to shoot at max range, or T-70 has much lower movement penalties at vet 3 to make them feel worthwhile later when you note a weakness in enemy lines for it to exploit for at least a little while before the enemy comes down on it. Stuff which make using them in combat while there's multiple AT guns on the map easier, but not necessarily flat-out better in combat-effectiveness. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: old CoH fan, how does CoH2 compare?9 Oct 2015, 19:19 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2015, 05:41 AMMr. Someguy Personally I rate the UI as overall superior. You get a unit bar, so you can always see the status of every unit without needing to visit them. You can reinforce large groups at one time as well, which is an invaluable change. Yeah, when I first played the beta and noticed that, I pretty much immediately yelled out "IT'S EVERYTHING I'VE EVER WANTED". In: Lobby
Thread: old CoH fan, how does CoH2 compare?9 Oct 2015, 02:26 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2015, 01:59 AMturbotortoise I will say as well the interface, addition of grid keys, and overall unit control is vastly improved. Going back to vCoH feels borderline archaic compared to the degree of fluidity that has been added in CoH2, especially with vehicles. Any idea how long the concept's been used? 'Cause I remember first playing League of Legends which simply maps things to QWER and DF and wondering "How the fuck did I never see RTS-style video games do something as obvious before this" In: Lobby
Thread: old CoH fan, how does CoH2 compare?9 Oct 2015, 01:36 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2015, 01:18 AMMr. Someguy I have no idea what you are on about. CoH1 had fences, you couldn't vault them, needing a 40 meter jog to reach a point 15 meters away was a common criticism and vaulting was an often requested feature. People were pretty happy when vaulting was confirmed in the sequel. Ok, I'll rephrase it. Vaulting is like going through bushes that slow the infantry going through them a bit that requires an extra click - bushes provide cover (like fences) and can infantry can go through (like fences in CoH2, but the latter needs more clicks). Thus, I regard vaulting at a glance that a very similar thing would be able to happen in CoH1 without actually implementing vaulting, I cannot see the issue with it in gameplay terms, and an argument against vaulting is really just an argument that "infantry should not be able to move past these parts of the environment on maps" because a number of specifics of vaulting are hardly nonexistent in CoH1. And yeah, I totally wanted vaulted too. "Why can't my doodz go over this fence to the northwest end in Semoskiy" was an very common thought in my head. In: Lobby
Thread: Next patch sneak peak by Relic9 Oct 2015, 01:24 AM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2015, 01:05 AMSturmtigerCobra Ofc the naysayers fail to realize that Blizzard have not made one single RTS that is not a C&C clone and I highly doubt they will ever make one. SC3? No, they are more likely to remake SC1. Reminds me of a claim I heard somewhere that SC2 could have been extremely different from the early stages before they decided to go with something particularly familiar. Can't actually find a source anywhere to back up that claim though, I'll admit. Pretty sure they had veterancy as a gameplay mechanic in far, far earlier builds though. In: Lobby
