@The_Riddler: Meh I'm a thoroughly average player with distinctly average rankings in both games, I pertain to be nothing more or less. Someone's skill level shouldn't hamper or improve the validity of their opinion, or their insight into the game, for which I have a decent amount - probably more than most.
My insight in the meta at this stage in CoH1's life cycle comes from watching allegedly HoF replays from 2006/2007 on GR, and discovering them to be mostly T1 spam into tanks. It takes a while for a game to mature, and the player base to adapt when its has as much depth as CoH1/2 has.
Also I'm only the worst player to stream, as we've yet to see you play.
Watch all those videos again . You will see that metagame changes happen way faster in coh2 and even some staples have been obtained already . The reason for that is that while Coh2 might be in its infancy in
real time both in the development and the metagame evolution due to the collective experience that has been gained in the course of over 7 years from coh1 , therefore time is more "effective" . There is no groundbreaking event such as circlestrafing or even using vet which if i remember correctly were big things in vcoh when they happened . Sure there will be changes but when we look at this game in the future 3 yrs from now , assuming that no new commanders or units have been released you wont see radical differences in the way the game is played .
So when you say Coh2 is in its infancy you are dead wrong in all aspects . In
"coh1 years" coh2 is at least 2 and a half years old . I guess the theory of relativity can be applied even in RTS's

Also riddle me this CoH2 "defenders" how come if we criticizers are the vocal minority Coh2 has less players than coh1 presteam , if coh2 was as good as some ppl make it to be, it should have double its numbers , after all there was a massive accumulation of ppl over the past of the last 7 yrs and from all those ppl only a tiny fraction plays the game on multiplayer .
You say you want constructive criticism, well people have given plenty of it. Even Basilone. Still some manage to snipe single things out of his comments and blow it out of proportion and debate about silly things. All this while absolutely ignoring comments of Kolaris or Tommy.
ram1 this is the oldest trick on the book of debating cheapshots , it serves to move the focus of the debate away from the area one of the participants is lacking in and its done mostly by ppl who want to win the debate rather than prove a point . Watch any talkshow where politicians are present and you ll know
