What IS the point of the post? You need other people to give you arguments to love/like CoH2 even more? You need other people to tell you you are a noob?

You see, it's this level of love and constructive engagement that makes this forum such a special place to post sometimes.

Your comprehension skills are lacking as you completely missed the point of my post.

Hello.

I like CoH2. However, despite a near seven-year addiction to the franchise I feel my passion waning. I keep looking at other games out of the corner of my eye, imagining what it would be like to spend more time with them. I'm also seeing an old flame occasionally, on the QT (she's called vCoH).

Why is this? How can I keep the love alive? I'm hardly a flash-in-the-pan or fairweather CoH fan. And there's lots I love about CoH2. I just want to get our mojo back.

So, community, what's the problem? My old squeeze had a makeover and has sashayed back through the door with new features and a new story. I should be like a dog with a bone.

My digital relationship counsellor and I have talked it through. We've identified the following issues:

1. 1 V 1 is too predictable. Remember, I'm a pretty average player. I can hold my own in that level 10-14 arena pretty well. But 1 V 1 seems pretty fixed (he builds 'A' and I have to build 'B'). Is it that I'm too impatient for a new meta to evolve? Or is it that CoH2 is too fixated on clearly defined counters? My suspicions are confirmed a bit when I watch replays - there is nowhere near the level of innovation that vCoH had.

2. Maps. The map roster is lacklustre compared to CoH2. FFS there's only *one* urban map (OK, I like C17 but where is the Sturzdorf or Lorraine 1 v 1 / 2 V 2 maps?).

3. Commanders. Either I'm not really exploiting the features or too many of them are fillers (sprint? Really?).

4. Last but not least... The Lobby. My old squeeze liked me having folks around and meeting new people. My new one insists on using Steam and hates me hanging out choosing my own scene. This, perhaps more than any other reason, is stopping me figuring out my issues with 1, 2 & 3.

So, perhaps I need to L2P. Or perhaps I'm too impatient. Perhaps the lack of a clue as to where we're going next is a problem (although she's told a few selected folks who ask me to take their word *a bit too often* ).

But if someone like me is flagging, what about genuine noobs?

Discuss.

I play Wehr mainly and think Guards are pretty well-balanced.
