Thread: SEGA Suing THQ for CoH 2 Preorder Money11 Jul 2013, 11:30 AM To clarify this news message: THQ filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy, which instantaneously means all the outstanding liabilities are dealt with by a bankruptcy court. Nothing out of the ordinary here. In: Lobby
Thread: T-34/76 feels plain pathetic 11 Jul 2013, 11:23 AM Jump back to quoted post11 Jul 2013, 01:43 AMpqumsieh Imagine I give you a bucket, and I say you can put either big rocks or little rocks within that bucket. At the end of the day, you will have to decide how much of each rock type to put in that bucket. You can't put more rocks than the bucket holds. Taking this analogy further, the size of the bucket is based on its cost. So not only does the T34 have a smaller bucket, it also has less of the big rocks and more of the little rocks. So if you try and use it for its big rocks, you aren't really going to get as much bang for your buck as you might have hoped for. Why is it that every relic developer on this website speaks in terrible metaphors like they are adressing five year olds? In: COH2 Balance
Thread: First big post-launch patch hits COH210 Jul 2013, 17:37 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2013, 15:12 PMcr4wler i guess if everything you could do in coh2 would be to either build infantry or build weapon crews, you would be right. fortunately, that is not the case. saying it is, is considered refractory. You dont see any real downsides in solely getting weapon crews for anti infantry, yet you consider other units/methods, because.....you have the possiblity to build/apply other units/methods with real downsides in dealing with infantry...?

Thread: First big post-launch patch hits COH210 Jul 2013, 15:07 PM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2013, 10:08 AMcr4wler especially with the new capping system there is no real downside to just getting all weapon crews for anti infantry. This advocates weapon crew spam, unless you prefer strategies with real downsides over strategies without real downsides. Again: this patch tries to diminish these kind of strategies. Claiming there is no real downside to these strategies, while neglecting the adjustments, is considered refractory. In: News
Thread: To Relic, Can we request for a ETA for leaderboard for COH210 Jul 2013, 11:59 AM To continue the pizza metaphor: if you order a pizza both parties comply to certain delivery times. Relic has ordered a pizza and has no idea whether it will be delivered within 30 minutes or the next day as they dont seem to pressure the meaning and the intention of the word soon. The question was aimed to get an ETA, which they cant even give. A little more critisicm of Noun's hollow metaphor would suit the likes of GeneralHell... In: Lobby
Thread: First big post-launch patch hits COH210 Jul 2013, 11:43 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2013, 11:13 AMcr4wler Yes. Because we all know AT nades, fausts and panzerschrecks are anti infantry -.- Any sort of nade can be dodged anyway, and with an MG that suppresses, you probably wouldn't get into range anyway. Even if, with a full sized squad, taking a bit of damage from a nade is not too much of a problem if you know the enemy squad has to retreat after throwing the nade anyway. And we also all know how easy it is to kill MGs in buildings in CoH2. I know you said anti infantry, thats why I brought up the mid/late game versatility of weapon crews. People keep saying nades can be dodged, but every top player gets (AT) naded in every single game as shown by the latest tourney. Next to that, its not certain you have to retreat. Bundle nades can take down houses. The point is that advocating weapon crew spam after a patch that tries to diminish this, without actually playing with these adjustments, seems rather refractory.

Thread: First big post-launch patch hits COH210 Jul 2013, 10:50 AM Jump back to quoted post10 Jul 2013, 10:08 AMcr4wler i still don't understand this... what is the point of a weapon crew, if it's basically a normal squad with a team weapon attached to it? especially with the new capping system there is no real downside to just getting all weapon crews for anti infantry. Yes. Because we all know weapon crews throw molotovs, rifle nades and bundle nades. Next to that they are very versatile in the mid/late game with their AT nades, fausts and panzerschrecks. Surprisingly, no changes to the T70 and SU-85. Still no ladder. In: News

Thread: Lack of game changing options9 Jul 2013, 11:27 AM I have not tried to assess whether there were airborne operations at the eastern front, but I tried to make clear that using wikipedia links isnt a viable source for your argumentation. Clearly, they did not teach you this during your two year study in Germany. Besides this, you really seem to know all about war history...

Thread: Lack of game changing options9 Jul 2013, 11:17 AM I am sorry to dissapoint you, but the internet as a whole is not considered a viable and usable source for these type of subjects either. May I suggest you try reading books and articles instead? In: COH2 Gameplay
