Thread: Soviets since the last patch20 Jun 2013, 20:57 PM I don't remember that..... Who used it? I thought the saying was if you got a Croc out you were either going to lose or were winning the game and just trolling the opponent. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Soviets since the last patch20 Jun 2013, 20:48 PM A lot of people have complained about the balance of the flame units. I've given up with beta (my wooden PC can't cope) so I haven't been on the "firing" end of these tactics, however it sounds like they have legitiment reasons. My concern is that Relic will then overnerf these units and they will turn into the equivalent of the flame HT and Sherman crocodile of vCOH. Which are so unused they may as well be removed from the game. And I want the flame units to have a bit of lethality in them, it's one of the few redeeming features in the sequel. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Popcap change in BETA11 Jun 2013, 22:42 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2013, 22:36 PMCrells there was NO improvements in SC franchise, it is the exact same game with different units, build workers collect the same resources and build the same stuff, Total war is a good example, command and conquer so-so (please dont include CnC 4, total rubbish) for me i do not want the same game with diffrent units (which does not really work when basing off ww2) SC2 was awesome because sc1 was simply just too old and needed revammping. One last note, the best solution is often the most simplist, Simple does not mean dumb or bad. With Starcraft, there were graphical improvements at least, more flexibilty in the building of units, and it had better spectator options. HoTS had less in the improvement front, but there are some minor things and many improvements targeted the esports scene. So if I call someone simpleminded it means?.........Surely you would want complexity as it adds depth and gives choice, which is a core element of an RTS. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Three ways to improve CoH2 from the Open Beta build11 Jun 2013, 22:25 PM Jump back to quoted post11 Jun 2013, 22:17 PMTommy Some more stuff Fair point I was beaten, there have been some improvements, not enough though as you say. I'm glad you are articulate enough to set out these well reasoned arguements. I just wish Relic would acknowledge that many people are in one accord about the features that require change and take action. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Popcap change in BETA11 Jun 2013, 22:20 PM You know typically in game franchises, each sequel introduces changes that build on what has gone on before and generally improve the gameplay experience. Names such as Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, Starcraft and Total War come to mind. With CoH2 I'm seeing a lot of changes but little in the way of improvements. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Three ways to improve CoH2 from the Open Beta build11 Jun 2013, 22:03 PM An excellent summary (?) there Tommy and well argued. I never thought much about the commander choices before, but you are right. In CoH the commander choice often shaped my strategy and focus, but now I just choose the one that has the biggest gun. I would be quite happy if Relic implemented the changes you mention. I actually had a mind to set up my own three issues for fixing, (so please pardon the add on) I downloaded the open beta (first time playing coh2) and within the end of the first game had noticed several issues. 1. Flashing UI commanders, The UI seems to be less flashy than it used to be, but it is still a problem. 2. Lack of tracers, It really annoying that I can see a vehicle/unit be hit, but not see what is doing the hitting. The units blend in well better with the background, making this even more of a must. 3. The manpower upkeep system, GAH!!! This is outright infuriating and completely pointless. It's like they realised the game build was skewed towards fast matches, so threw these penalties in to lengthen the match time. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: The pendulum7 Jun 2013, 15:22 PM CoH2 is out this summer but Rome2 comes out this autumn. I'm in a situation were I can only get one of these games.....and I just found out that Rome2 battles utilise a tactical map. The pendulum has swung in one direction (for now). In: Scrap Yard
Thread: New steam version of coh....Thoughts...6 Jun 2013, 07:38 AM Welcome to the gaming world in general. If I had a dime for everytime I heard someone say "I disagree with what the developers plan to do with that game/console" and then went and bought the device, I'd be rich (sim city anyone?). The only consolation is that good games tend to stand the test of time. Case in point, Multiplayer AoE2 still is popular with over 1000 people playing at any one time (even before the HD anouncement), whilst AoE3 is considerably less popular. So I say wait 6 months, keep steam CoH alive while you can, and then we may see competitive players returning to it. In: COH Central
