A lot of people are comparing coh2 to the 7 year old vcoh, and not to the 2 month old vcoh which was a completely different game and community.
You could apply this to the balance of the game but not the multiplayer features missing such as a decent replay system, no ladders/leagues/meaningful visible ranking, no map bans, no ability to search as random, no custom games lobby, no ability to edit hotkeys, and a very basic friends list that does not interact with the game at all.
A lot of these were problems with the original game as well. When I learnt of coh2 I expected the multiplayer to build upon the first game. Instead we have even more shit wrong than the first game and this is completely disregarding any opinions on the actual gameplay and balance.
Game is certainly not worth $60. Multiplayer service is completely lacking. Bunch of new units with snow skins. SC2's mutliplayer on release had so much more for the same price + it was released 3 years ago.
