Thread: Does CoH1 have a future?25 Apr 2015, 09:02 AM Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2015, 23:34 PMWinterfeld This is a question which you can probably answer yourself! No, VCoH wontbe supported anymore! Why? Because it is not viable, it does not bring any income, and if i would/could it would be low. The game is old, there is a sequel, there is not a single reason to continue working on this game. I don´t like it either but i am ok with this decision. What i don´t like is Relics information politic. Instat of officially announcing that they stop their support for CoH1, which is a lost honour this game definitely deserves, they keep their heads down which makes some player belive that Relic in fact still does support CoH1. Jump back to quoted post24 Apr 2015, 23:34 PMWinterfeld Rather get to the point with CoH2 where the old players will want to come back! Thats unlikely. See DevM´s post. There are many often discussed reasons why the the most good CoH1 players don´t play CoH2 and as long as Relic wont chance core design elements this wont chance. In: COH Central

Thread: I miss the old guard,: where are they??20 Apr 2015, 19:06 PM Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2015, 18:02 PMIpKaiFung I'd say the CoH2 competitive scene is quite healthy and I'm bold enough to say it will surpass CoH1's heights in a few months. Depends on your definition of 'competitive scene' and 'healthy' i guess. I rarely play CoH2 myself and its save to say that i am a bad player. I know less about micro and macro and i don´t know the current meta. But if i decide to play some hours on a sunday i can reach the top 100 without a problem, even while losing about 50% of my games. I did this three times now. You couldn't do that in CoH1. It was simply impossible. Also ididn't play for about two months and i just dropped from position 100 to 150 during this time. Meaning the ladder is more or less static. Next point: replays. No offence but 98% of CoH2´s replays uploaded on this site aren´t entertaining. There are just a few players who actually got a enjoyable playstyle. I can´t even remeber the last time i saw a entertaing 2v2 game. I´d really like to cast them but none uploads such replays. There are way less good replays then CoH1 offered even in the state of decay following the steam migration. An other aspect are the threads here in coh2.org. I miss discussed between competitive thinking players. Guys who play the game to win, guys who want to improve and dicussion about the meta game, about possible strategys, about ways how to improve micro and macro management. There are a few interessting threads each month but thats about it. IpKai, i really wish you are right. I really do. I´d would be great for this side, great for Relic, greate for me as commentator but from what i can see i can´t share your optimistic estimate. Jump back to quoted post20 Apr 2015, 18:06 PMCieZ Still is interesting to me that some posters in this thread seem to imply that coh2 is a game with a low skill cap that is super easy/lacks competition/no one good plays... CieZ, you are one of the guys who´s posts i usually enjoy to read. But seriously, CoH2´s competitive scene is smaller than CoH1´s scene was. Especially mid skill players are totally missing. And no, i don´t want to attack the CoH2 players. In every game offering the same chances to all players the better player will usually win. You need a different skill set for CoH2 then you needed for CoH1 but CoH2 is not easier to play. I really hope we can overcome this hate some day. I am tired of it. In: COH Central
Thread: I miss the old guard,: where are they??18 Apr 2015, 13:25 PM Purlictor +1 Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 11:27 AMDonnieChan -stuff like crushing knights cross and grens with m10 was imo nothing more than lame and abusive. this happens at a much lower rate in coh2. Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 12:50 PMPurlictor Because everything has AT. There is no more strategic depth to teching. You can't get outteched because AT guns are so easily available and every basic infantry unit has really good supporting AT. Besides, getting your infantry crushed can easily be avoided. They get crushed because you play bad, same in CoH2. This plus there is another aspect. T34, and some other tanks, are capaple fo crushing stuff as well, even while they are not as mobile and faste as the M10 in CoH1 was. There are two reason why this doesn´t happen way more often: -teching < going for call ins -some people prefer the IS2, and the Tank Hunter Commander after the patch, over Guard Motors Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 11:27 AMDonnieChan -90% of CoH1 2v2 games consisted of learning maps and build orders by heart: wehr player 1: defensive, vetgrenspam, medbunker, Flak, t4+stuka wehr player 2: Terror, 3 snipers, support vet, pumas und nebelwerfer spam US player 1: 4 rifles BARS m10spam Calliope US player 2: 2 mgs, 2 snipers, m8, at gun spam, 2 howitzers You will state: Hey there were variations of thi and it wasnt always the same. well for me it it felt like it. and in the end of coh1's lifecycle, when everyone played like this, i was just sick of trying to countersnipe, dodging nebelwerfer barrages, encountering a wall of 5 rep/medic bunkers and so on. the lategame was literally hammering arty or being hammered and then creeping with snipers. and i just couldnt stand that anymore CoH1´s meta became more static and less inovativ after more and more good players stop playing the game. There was no more new input. Jump back to quoted post18 Apr 2015, 11:27 AMDonnieChan - CoH2 has a great variety of possible counters: to anything: vs tanks for example: Stugs, jagdpanzer4, paks, shreks, jagdtiger, mines, anti tanks strafe etc. and all of this stuff is actually being built. From my experience CoH2´s meta is way more boring the CoH1´s meta was. There are by far less valuable tactics and more useless units. In: COH Central

Thread: Relic's Poorest Design: Contrary To All Reasonable Thought4 Apr 2015, 18:49 PM Nice posts by Jaedrik and Marcus, good reading and i agree with both of you. I remember those first interviews with Quinn when he was talking about how punishing the CoH1 ressource system in his point of view was and how much he enjoyed when things explode. That gave me a shock and i had a bad feeling from this point on regarding CoH2. I guess the point is that CoH needs to be a game suitable for as many players as possible since the RTS market is declining regarding that typ of RTS CoH is. CoH2 trys to be attractive for competitive and fun oriented players as well and this is maybe the core issue. You can´t handle this different demands and and a game based on such ideas will most likly lagg what you call core people because someone who plays some games from time to time has no interessant in improving and doing something for a community.
