I've wanted to make this thread a long time. I feel that considering Relics current business model there should be plenty of room for them to further develop the game and not just increase the amount of DLCs available for us to buy. You have to take into consideration that this game was released in 2013 and must be regarded as modern. How come we're still missing plenty of things that a normal gamer would take for granted? This is a brand new game and SEGA pushed the releasing date forward just to further "develop" the game and their business modell is built upon selling DLC in order to continuously progress things. Where's all the stuff that would increase the quality of CoH2? Enough ranting, this is a list of missing content that I've come up with so far:
*
Chat rooms (We didn't have this until "Turning Point" and they are still awful)
*
Spectator mode (Now this is something a lot of people have been asking for and would help us further market the game through livestreams etc. to increase the player base. I'm talking about a real spectator/observer mode, not community made observers *maps* like we had in vCoH. A spectator mode is VITAL in order for us to develop real competition/tournaments and expand this franchise in the eSport arena, not just to mention that SNF would cast real time games)
*
New replay mode (We're currently using a bad copy from vCoHs replay mode. A new one with in game stats, watching replays with other persons, showing resources for every player and so on is not just necessary for the average player to help them analyze the game easier, it's also vital for shoutcasters to increase the quality of their videos, here's a link showing us somehow what it should look like:

*
Options for keybinding (One of the oldest game options in the world, and it's still not there. Now you have to use "Autohotkey" and learn how to write a script yourself if you want to use different keys than those that are provided, arrow keys to WASD anyone?)
*
Reconnecting options (The vast majority of the modern games out there provides you with the option to reconnect to the game if you got dropped out because of any reason. Right now you'll have a brand new loss to your account if you or anyone in your team lost his connection)
Feel free to add more things but please leave balance out of this thread, almost every other thread/post in this forum is debating the current balance. Also, it would make sense if some of these things could be sold as DLC content, that could be a good motivation for Relic to develop them as well. I would definitly buy them.
