Thread: Annihilation Automatch18 Aug 2015, 22:19 PM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 12:47 PM__deleted__ Coh 1 had the option, still did't limit the number of auto-match games. Annihilation mode will again be used by the few and the many will use vp automatch. The fact that the player base is small and we can't 'devide' it is lame by itself. Giving more options to the game will enhance the player base. Exactly! Why do you think more people played COH1 and enjoyed it more? COH2 only has a small player base because it's not a very easy game to pick up and play, most people who play it were veterans of the first game and they are fans of the series already (Despite most COH1 players not returning for COH2). Hell I'm still learning new strategies because this game changes so often to try and tweak things and then you have to rewrite a whole strategy from scratch. If you go on Steam and look at the discussions most people have about COH2 it's basically 70% of the people complaining about why the game doesn't have this and that and the other thing on top of the mostly negative reviews about the game. I do like the game some of the time but it certainly doesn't live up to the experience of it's predecessor. In: Lobby

Thread: SU-76 Spam?18 Aug 2015, 07:55 AM A great counter to the SU-76 is the Puma. Since I normally use Mobile Defense, I'll make 2 Pumas usually and if I spot a SU-76 on the field I'll just flank around the map and come up behind them quick enough to take advantage of the Puma's maneuverability and knock it out before it becomes a threat.

Thread: Annihilation Automatch18 Aug 2015, 07:48 AM Jump back to quoted post18 Aug 2015, 07:37 AMJohnnyB 80% of my games in COH1 were annihilation matches so I know the issue. COH 1 is different from COH2. The fact that in COH1 an annihilation game can take less than an hour it doesn't mean that in COH2 it's the same thing. And for sure, it isn't. In a balanced game between equal or close skilled players, you simply cannot have such a powerfull army in a reasonable time to wreck a base. At least that is what I believe. Yeah I've played a lot of really good players in custom matches and people sort of do the same thing they would do under standard resources in VP but with more room to sort of stretch their legs. That's mainly why I enjoy it so much is because you don't feel that restraint bearing down on you like in automatch. It's sort of like a freedom to not be bound to any single objective. I just think it'd be nice to have both game types recognized and counted for so that it appeals to both play styles. In: Lobby
Thread: Annihilation Automatch18 Aug 2015, 07:37 AM Isn't that what people do in VP? Sit on their caches/VPs and spam the heaviest armor possible? I've personally seen it happen more in automatch. In: Lobby
Thread: Annihilation Automatch18 Aug 2015, 07:31 AM I can't remember the last time I played a 2 hour game in Annihilation. In the first COH the games were longer because every map had chokepoints, but in COH2 the majority of the maps feature many positions to flank from and make creating chokepoints impossible the majority of the time. I can tell the difference between automatch players and custom match players by that general assumption that the games take forever and people dump units into your base lol. In: Lobby
Thread: Annihilation Automatch18 Aug 2015, 07:21 AM You can make custom VP matches too so that's not even a valid point. The point I'm trying to make is that it's unfair that I have hundreds of matches played in Custom and there is no record of it whatsoever. I don't even play AI or anything I just wait for people to join and we just do a regular player match. I'd like there to be some way of recording those statistics so I and other people can see them. vCOH had it, so I see no reason not to bring it back. In: Lobby
Thread: Annihilation Automatch18 Aug 2015, 06:27 AM They should broaden the game options I believe. For people who say we should only have VP, all I have to say about that is "Imagine Call of Duty, but the only game type available in the game is Headquarter." You wouldn't wanna play it right? lol.

Thread: Annihilation Automatch18 Aug 2015, 05:40 AM I mean don't get me wrong if you're pressed for time I'd stick to VP matches although a balanced and well played VP match could last up to 50 minutes. I was just basically taught how to play COH back when the first game came out and Annihilation was all I did up until now in COH2 I just started automatch a month ago and it's weird because I'm an Annihilation-bred player. Finding the right doctrine and faction has a lot to do with it too. In: Lobby
Thread: Annihilation Automatch18 Aug 2015, 04:31 AM Meanwhile I've actually seen more balance and tactics in Annihilation. All I see in VP is the enemy team securing the VP and then they just turtle around it and then you have no choice but to surrender. In Annihilation, without any point to turtle you have free reign.
