I lost brain cells reading this thread, I used to play team games way back when it was a complete and utter imbalanced clusterfuck. It wasn't fun. It was shit. The best part was doing customs, but it always devolved into the same sleep-inducing trash that team games usually will be.
At least now it's playable and somewhat enjoyable.
You have to be genuinely delusional or be looking at the previous coh2 versions with rose-tinted glasses because Jesus christ, it was an unfun retarded mess. (Like invisible demos, Can't do anything to counter it so you had to blob your entire army behind a sturmpio, wow so much 'fun')
100% agree, large teamgames back in the day were always heavily favored for one side depending on the patch. It was common that 90% played axis and after another patch the majority queued for allies. It was always a massive imbalance and especially since there was the teamgame focussed balance patch it got much much better. You have to be mental to think teamgames were fun on the receiving end back then.
