GAASIF
+1 for Ross Scott
It is true that the community has done the patches for the last 3 or so years. Brits and half of WFA was outsourced to a different dev team. Thats why the expansion armies have a different kind of style compared to soviets/ost, and different animations
(that are kinda broken anyways). Relic main moved onto DOW3 pretty soon after CoH2 released.
I personally put new content above balance. Balance - does not exist, it has always been a game for six years, but it is still unbalanced and has become more boring because of the balance
I also do agree that the "balance" has gotten out of hand. Removing content, instead of fixing said content
(squadai) is lazy and should always be avoided.
To everybody who thinks changing around stats and balancing things is hard; Its not. The attributes are actually quite easy to change and add onto, if you know what you're doing. SCAR, and under-the-hood changes are the hard ones to make, and the team cant even make those changes anyway, due to the restricted mod tools.
