Thread: help! lost progression1 Jul 2013, 10:18 AM It's weird that the bulletins are also lost - I always assumed they were stored in the cloud? In: Lobby
Thread: How can I rewind a replay?30 Jun 2013, 23:48 PM Just a thought - why do people keep posting that they would never buy this shitty game? You do hopefully realize that these are COH2 forums right? Why are you even here? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Units, what they do, to what purpose. vcoh/coh2.28 Jun 2013, 11:10 AM Jump back to quoted post28 Jun 2013, 06:48 AMWhat Doth Life?! G0 play 100 matches and I think you'll answer all of your questions. Exactly. When vCoH was released, you certainly didn't know about all those subtle factors either. It took YEARS for vcoh to develop the high-level play we're used to seeing today. You just need to start playing a ton of games and wait for a metagame to establish. This will take some time, but it will happen. I think that most people, and especially the pros, approach the game like vcoh, where this is a different game. Things like smoke grenades do have their application with true sight, it just hasn't quite seeped in yet. In half a year, maybe earlier, people will debate where to put their flare trips instead of complaining that they don't have a clue about the units, if you get the drift. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Bring back random choice27 Jun 2013, 15:31 PM +1! Reading your post I just realized how much I miss this. I want to improve as German and Russian, also I hope this to limit the waiting time quite a bit. In: Lobby
Thread: Just a few questions to developers26 Jun 2013, 20:14 PM There is no "we" here. Some people might agree with this post, others don't. I for sure don't. In the way he frames his questions he comes of rather dickish, and he doesn't even care about formatting or even proper language, so if I were some Relic dev, I wouldn't bother answering them at all. The fact that two relic guys already responded shows how much they value close interaction with the community. In: Lobby
Thread: Ghosts of the Ostfront23 Jun 2013, 17:24 PM Thanks much for this! I bought the podcasts and started listening to them today. It really is a good start if you're interested in the history. Very well narrated and it does provide a great overview of the politics, military and also the human perspective. I can only recommend this! In: News

Thread: COH2 into the E-sport - Casting mode -15 May 2013, 09:13 AM I kind of agree, but not on the controller. I paid 120€ for my keyboard (Zowie Celeritas, mjam) + around 50€ or so for my mouse (Razer DeathAdder Black Edition). You can definitively spend a lot of money on peripherals, and if you're into the competitive side of games, you're more likely to do so. In: Lobby
Thread: 4 things that would make CoH2 instantly better30 Apr 2013, 09:00 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2013, 08:43 AMRaz then it's even worse when a winning player can't capitalize on his position and the loosing can just come back. This system takes almost all the skill out of the game and throws you in fake enviroment where the path of the game is influenced by design rather then by competition and skill of the players playing it. Again - if you are the better player in CoH2, you will win. This game is competitive, and while the MP system is more forgiving towards the player with the smaller army, it does not break the game. If you have your opponent outcapped, you'll have more muni and fuel income. You'll have tanks, off-map, stukas, what have you, whilst your opponent can't do anything but spam vanilla infantry. You make it sound as if you are on even ground even when he is pinned inside his base, which is wrong. Beta noobs just don't know when to leave a game, thats all In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 4 things that would make CoH2 instantly better30 Apr 2013, 07:59 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Apr 2013, 06:43 AMKolaris But none of those innovations or improvements depend on messing with the core vCoH formula to the degree that CoH2 has. The rest is just change for change's sake, or deliberately trying to make the game more forgiving with a lower skill cap. Do you really believe that a team of well-seasoned game developers like relic just sit down and think "oh man coh1 is great but we need to change something here just for the sake of it, uh, well, let's change the upkeep, uh, and have weapon crews have 6 guys, cuz that'd be fucking kewl". No. They have their reasons. While I totally understand your reservations on the given points, I think you can safely assume that it's NOT relic's mission to fuck up the CoH franchise. Also, I don't think that CoH2 is that much more forgiving towards lower skilled players. From what I've seen so far, I can say that I've always seen the better players win. I remember this discussion from the time before SCII came out and people where complaining that multiple building selection would "ruin" the game and lower the skill ceiling, which turned out to be wrong (although Idra would certainly debate this ). I'd say give the game some time, learn it, get used to it, and you'll beat lower skilled players the same way you did in vCoH because you'll know HOW to do it. In: COH2 Gameplay
