Thread: What would you change/add (if anything)?2 Aug 2013, 19:20 PM Yes I know, Relic has finished patching CoH and there will be no more changes to the game, aside from the hopeful bug fixes in steam. But as a brainstorming/nostalgia exercise for those who may mod either this game or the new one (and so the devs can see ), what you change? The only requiremnt is that you keep it specific. I'll start with two changes. I wish flames to do more damage. The two units I had in mind were the crocodile and the flamer HT, which should counter infantry but struggle due to stickys and shrecks. The other change which I've mulled over for a while relates to the medic bunkers/tents. It would be an interesting change if instead of recieving a reduced cost squad after you pull in so many bodies, you just recieve manpower for every body returned. That means the mp isn't locked into infantry squads, but you could use it purchase new equipment or specialist units. In: COH Central
Thread: Why some Russians hate COH2 [BadComedian] 2 Aug 2013, 15:11 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2013, 14:58 PMDoc Comparing to what? Nazi Germany? Pilsudsky government? Mussolini Italy? Cherchills GB for indian people? Japanese in US conc camps? This question needs to be specified? Whats "free" - free from what? Independent from what? Ok then....this is all in reference to complaints on the tyranny quote just for reference. We can all agree on what tyranny means. To the Ancient Greeks a tyrant was any absolute ruler. However since the days of the Roman emperors the term is now used to describe a type of absolute rule, namely one who is called a despot and uses terror/fear (think Nero or Caligula). So we can agree on what tyranny is...we must ask ourselves, when the German occupiers were removed by the USSR in Eastern/Central Europe, was it a situation were one form of tyranny was merely replaced by another?

Thread: Why some Russians hate COH2 [BadComedian] 2 Aug 2013, 15:00 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Aug 2013, 14:54 PMSharpmax I can not say how the life was for them, but according to Hitler's plans NO LIFE was waiting for them after the war had the Germany won. Surprised you do not know about Eastern plan and untermenschen fate. Agreed! Thankfully it only ever was a plan and was never made into reality. Nevertheless if you can not say how life was for the Eastern/Central Europeans after the war (who came under the influence of the UUSR) and either can I, then we are unable to comment on the campaigns ending quote - "all our efforts lead to another tyranny" It may (or not) be true.

Thread: CoH 2 Sold 380k Physical Copies in 5 Days1 Aug 2013, 13:23 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2013, 08:22 AMRedMachine294 No problem! I should probably add that the statement only said EU/US region so not sure how it's doing in Asia. Don't know who you're referring to about the accounts but it sounds like drama so I'll stay out of it . Do those figures include the pre order sales, or are those over and above the 400 k? (Edit, it says brick and mortar retail. I suppose that could include some pre orders as my local shop had a pre order option. However it makes no reference to any digital buying a.k.a steam, I wonder just how many copies have been sold. In: Lobby
Thread: The COH community1 Aug 2013, 13:12 PM Jump back to quoted post1 Aug 2013, 12:36 PMAmiPolizeiFunk The TLDR version of your post seems to be "too many whine threads", yet your post comes off as a whine thread in itself. Positive contributions are enacted by individuals. Don't ask other "skilled players" to give them. Figure out what you can give. Let's quote JFK, "It's not what your [community] can do for you, it's what you can do for your [community]". Even what you ask for can be found in the Guides section. And most of what you don't like can be found in the balance forums, which are traditionally full of tons of rubbish. If you don't like sifting through the refuse that's there, just don't go to the latrine. Opps, it wasn't my intention for this to become a whine thread, I wanted to know if things have always been this way in game sequals? Let me rephrase it. Lets all be supportive and positive because!!!.....because......it's better that way. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: The COH community1 Aug 2013, 12:24 PM Maybe I have never paid much attention to the community up until now, but it appears as though as if it is not a very unified group at present. The forums are full of nothing but complaining, opinions are divided as to which faction is OP and in general no one seems satisified or in agreement. There is continual referral back to the vCOH and how it was better (or worse). In addition the state of vCOH itself is pretty woeful. The single and multiplayers both argue that they have got the short end of the stick, be it the storyline or a non existant leaderboard. So is this just a phase of transition, or is it the new way of things? Can we make the community a more positive experience? Would it help if highly skilled players would voice their opinions on the game more and have a greater presence on the forums (many of them have been quiet as of late)? In: Scrap Yard
Thread: German Sniper should be cheaper29 Jul 2013, 13:50 PM Jump back to quoted post29 Jul 2013, 13:05 PMStonethecrow01 The sniper is still useful, especially in team games and especially with the vet 1 ability. I'm worried any buff to him will result in the sniper heavy games we saw at the end of the CoH meta. I quote the age old argument about 1v1 and 2v2s being different kettles of fish I too, don't want the game to descend into the sniper problems of the original game. At the same time I think the changes of only cammoing in cover and not having bought vet have put an end to such antics. The problem is just Relics (unjustified, unhistorical) approach to giving the soviets larger squads than the Germans. If we were to return to one sniper vs one sniper, there wouldn't be any issue.
