Thread: COH1 and COH2?7 Oct 2017, 07:49 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2017, 20:40 PMBasilone Holy fuck learn to use sentences or something. IGN ranking irrelevant since they rate the game as a newcomer and not as a returning competitive player. Maybe someone that never tasted COH before will have their mind blown, to people that played the prequel its the same formula with a bit of regression. The doctrine system and the global upgrades (yes Wehr vet included) are some of the bigger issues that made COH2 not as good. The balance and pacing has ebbed and flowed over the years but those two things are huge design flaws that plagued COH2 since day 1. I used line to state my points,are you having trouble understanding them? In: Lobby

Same goes for others, Supreme Commander Forged Alliance is better for many people than Supreme Commander 2 for example, Dawn of War is better than 2 and 3 for many people again. But I guess you'd need to be the older 2nd generation of gamers to really appreciate it. And I say 2nd since the first had games like Total annihilation, StarCraft and Age of Empires, while I didn't know or see any of those games until I just turned into a teen, well StarCraft I played when I was 2nd grade but I think it still counts. Dawn of War, age of Mythology, and all those games in the early 2000s is when the 2nd generation picked up. You guys that started late 2000s picked up the shit that was DLC money grabbing and passed out on the old classics. Yeah i can get why i never play any 1st game,but serious every RTS game you had to paid money to play.As for the DLC no one forced me to buy any of them and i still enjoy RTS without those thing.

Thread: COH1 and COH2?7 Oct 2017, 07:34 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Sep 2017, 12:42 PMMr.Smith If you like 1v1, I can't find any reason I would pick CoH2 over CoH1. CoH1 is lightyears ahead in that regard. If you like 3v3/4v4, stick with CoH2. That's because of CoH1's poor map pool (enormous maps with 0 cover), no way to queue up as arranged teams and the fact that CoH1 pacing simply doesn't work when you have other players covering for you (e.g,. sniper blobs). For 2v2, you have to pick your poison; CoH1 sniper abuse vs CoH2 OKW/Brits. CoH2 has had, up-to so far the "unfair" advantage of receiving semi-regular updates that helped scramble up the meta. Even though there have been amazing patches to the game (e.g., the pre-Brit one), the game has always felt lacking in one way or another after WFA armies were introduced (I don't know what CoH2 was like before WFA; DLC commander meta was too disgusting for me to bother with the game). With respect to strategic diversity, CoH1 had global upgrades that you had to account for. CoH2 tried to have some strategic diversity added with non-linear teching. Unfortunately, non-linear teching simply doesn't work when half of the tiers are outright unviable (or with no synergy with the core faction), and the other half only allows for limited variations of the same build order. This leaves most CoH2 factions with half of their tech tree being completely useless. Strategic diversity came with patches mixing up the meta and forcing people to try out the other tiers. Without updates, CoH2 meta becomes stale as fuck pretty quickly. If you ever plan on moving from CoH2 to CoH1, you might, initially, miss some UI and QoL updates. However you certainly won't miss CoH2 robotic squad behaviour or CoH2-style garrisons. Tank battles are a question of taste mostly, but I have always found CoH1's deflection and critical-oriented system way more interesting and fun than CoH2's penetration system. I won't miss coh1 robot squad when my guy keep running out of cover and into the front of the enemy. 1vs1 i don't feel like Axis upgrade full vertancy for their unit with one building is lightyears ahead unless ware talking about in the far future soldiers can just upgrade their vertancy instead of learning it or the fact that 2 officer made you squad better then 1. CoH2-style garrisons? what the different,again tank battle the same in both game,only exception is that in Coh2 they had abandon+decrew,and had the FULL reverse mode.Honestly i can't tell the different. I moved from 1to2 and mostly enjoy 2 more then 1 but people can love the game they want ,i had no problem with that but why do they had to talk trash about Coh2 when coh1 online community is barely alive.

Thread: COH1 and COH2?23 Sep 2017, 04:10 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Sep 2017, 03:53 AMTobis Coh1 is "balanced" in that the vanilla factions can fight each other competitively. The meta game has been solved at this point, so it's all about who outplays the other player. Everybody knows the buildorders and what will counter it, now it's all about the execution. Alot of the love for coh1 comes from nostalgia, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of stuff done better. Faction design, the commander system, the resource system, map layout, veterancy system were all better. People still talk about them because they are still good. People hoped CoH2 would improve and reach for these ideals. It wont happen now. I don't think coh1 is a better game now though. Coh2 has matured and come a long way since release. CoH2 was a piece of trash on release, that soured the opinion of many vcoh veterans. Since all the improvements to things like squad spacing and unit control in egagements the game has become a lot more fluid. Coh2 has also finally got rid of most of the fucking annoying and frustrating units. vCoH snipers give me AIDS. CoH2 factions can't fight each other competitively? i mean there is a faction showdown clock on my screen right now Faction design seem the same to me. Commander system COH1 limited you to 3 but i do love blitzkrieg doctrine but they had mechanized assault and those are pretty much alike Resource system well i love that in COH2 general point give you fuel and munitions and fuel income it way lesser then in COH1 it feel like if not then again no big different Map layout ehhhhhhhh can't tell at all Veterancy system you had to agree with me that COh2 do a better job at this.German can upgrade vertancy with 1 building while rifleman take allday to vet up to 2,ranger don't even vet at all.Brit "more lieutenant lad the more the better for our ventancy" lol,Panzer elite vet up so easily. Oh and btw arty in COH1 you can't dodge it most of the time Hans shown me this. I love estern mod but now mostly just watch it from my COH2 caster sometimes.But why no 88gun in coh2 why do we get the pak 43 WHYYYYY COH2 is shit at release well i didn't know that,those IGN guy must had played the game a while after release to score the game that high 8,4/10 In: Lobby

Thread: COH1 and COH2?23 Sep 2017, 03:39 AM So i am here to ask what do you think.Many people recommended COH1 for me(i had played the game)but what they did made me sick and never want to go back there again,that and i love COH2 more . Is COH1 really better then COH2? doesn't seem so to me,unless some player are used to this once over the other but that still don't give them the right to talk shit about the other game.Every time dlc,unbalanced?,COH1 is sooo good and COH2 is shit i just don't get why,pain me to see such review for no reason 2 game had the same DLC system,as for balance i think COH2 as this point don't had any major OP that you can't dealt with,only different is that COH2 had more features and improve on graphic,and gameplay. Funny fact the people that said COH1 is soo good compare to COH2 which is trash when the game had 1000 avg compare to 5000avg i am a simple guy so that saying alot for me. So what about you guy anyonce here love playing COH but doesn't treat COH2 like shit because of that? P.S the only thing that is better in COH1 is that MG range and surpessing is soooo funny haha In: Lobby
Thread: Need help to kill Advanced Emplacement Regiment21 Sep 2017, 15:59 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Sep 2017, 12:35 PMHven finally something i can agree on. it's shit design. i don't think anyone would leave if it was changed/removed. most ukf player would enjoy it to be changed to QF 3.7-inch mountain howitzer or 2/3 inch mortar. i would be thrilled to finaly have a decent arty. They could change the emplacement to be like a trench for mortar. t'would cost like 200 mp, no brace, only mortar(s) could get in. t'would increase range (not rate of fire cuz it would be better to just do another mortar then) and forwardhq wouldn't buff it. no hope for coh2 but maybe coh3, once they understand dat's all we want relic to. ^^ Relic busy with AOE4 right now so give them time or they should just do what they done with DOW2 give the game to the community and modder.

Thread: Need help to kill Advanced Emplacement Regiment20 Sep 2017, 05:35 AM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2017, 20:44 PMIntelligence209 Sim city - OP or Not. It's microless cheese that does not support coh2 Style and gameplay. Having push button abilities to counter/self repair/brace etc that take virtually no skill is terrible design. It creates a boring static gameplay and usually results in an artillery fest. Wipes OH grens with ease. Should be redesigned/completely removed Knowing how half of you play. Removing sim city or nerfing it would remove 40% of the player base. They can micro,so not sure how many people would leave,but right now this it the most fucking annoying shit ever,and that not just Brit alone how would you feel when Soviet,USF,OKW,Wehrmacht player used static gameplay of back and front.Made me want to kill myself it boring as hell but it give them a better chance of wining since they are used to that kind of gameplay and force you to play the exact same shit OR bring up the assault.

Well the bofor is guarding it and no infantry can take it without the supp of ATs and medium armors,or other stuff(if you use infantry they will bleed alot)so yeah quite costly to counter one unless you got doctrial supp. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Need help to kill Advanced Emplacement Regiment19 Sep 2017, 14:43 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Sep 2017, 13:19 PMHven read post form elchino7, LoopDloop and mine. You obviously didn't for saying this. Isg cost no fuel. the 1st bofors cost smth like 50+30 fuel. how could okw field tanks after brit ? Well in reality fuel is hard to come by for OKW and their armor forces is costly and limited to a degree.But if you skip out the rush that i did,then you can fueled up you pz4 and jap pretty ok.Get 2 minimum number requirer to kill simcity.The more the better.
