I made sure to google the topic in case it had been discussed recently but the only thread I could find was one from late december 2012 - march 2013, which is before the june release.
original thread: http://www.coh2.org/topic/912/mirror-match
Almost 1 year after release, can anyone give some good feed back on how mirror matches play out? I actually haven't played one yet so no idea if they are extremely gimmicky or cheesy. Any particular reason why they were never added in auto-match or considered for tournaments? I know the main argument for a lot of people is that "it doesn't make sense", or that its not historically accurate. Personally, I've always found the realism/historical accuracy argument amusing since literally next to nothing is realistic about CoH, aside from the fact its based on a real war and depicts weapons and vehicles used at the time.
From a competitive game sense, any good reasons to not add mirror matches to auto-match?
Everyone saying it sucks hard hasn't even tried it. I have played quite a few mirrors and they are actually very fun In Coh2 and competitive as well becuase who can argue balance. In fact mirrors feel much better then the normal. Russian vs Wehr is pretty much degraded to who can get the cheesiest the fastest, while in mirrors it feels much more tactical and whits based. Its simply sad how closed minded the vocal few that dictate the direction Relics takes with their game is so pathetically closed minded because lots of great stuff essentially gets taken out of the game becuase of it. Imo these tight minded few are actually the reason why this game doesnt flourish more there is many missing maps and options for mirrors and lots of other stuff bunked from the game because they are so loud and obnoxious thats what relic listens too. |
Hey man great map, it really captures the imagination of how much more potential there is for CoH2 maps. I love the elevation usage its a very nice change of pace compared to the majority of mostly flat maps out there.
The feedback I wanted to give you on the map is the left starting position has an area north where line of sight is completely blocked by a mass of trees. Its not a terribly important spot but there is a point behind those trees and a path. I noticed it immediately that I cannot see behind these trees to click on the point or control my troops at all without rotating the map. So that's my feedback so far of things that I think could use a tweak. Great map! Beautiful and original. |
I owned Majorcheesos piospam as well I didnt save the replay but I ended up with the perfect build agianst it by accident its sad I cant remember and didnt save the replay but definately gonna check out what Paul did. BTW MajorOwnage is the most annoying player he is a complete exploit player 100% and I find it sickening he is actually in the top 20 with his gimmicky cheese noobness... just sayin. |
A follow up replay to my last replay using soviet industry to negate the insane German infantry advantage this patch. And as an added bonus you no longer need to fear Tigers or TIgerAce either . Tiger Ace owned in under two minutes anyone??? |
A nice Build Im using with Soviet industry the last couple days im really like it. The build involves mostly harrassing and being annoying in the early game while not taking very much damage not really committing to any large engagments to fast industry t 34's. I like the build becuase it allows me to somewhat negate the power of German infanty while being in a good position to take on Initial german armour and with the KV-2 you can standup to tigers and tiger aces in the late game. Its a great build that allows me to play more relaxed and not feel like im on a desperate uphill battle that will ultimately be un-winnable its a nice change of pace in this patch. Check it out me beleaguered soviet comrades maybe you will find its a nice build for you as well |
It's a shame that those players only received reset.
Maphackers should be banned PERMANENTLY without any warnings. And it shouldn't be any discussion about it. Maphacking = Gtfo from the game.
These people were aware and conscious. And they exactly knew what consequences are for cheating.
Fully agree get these cheating %@$# out of our beloved game |
Stop being an idiot, people here are not whining the price of DLC (those are even cheaper than your lunch), they are bitching the system of DLC. Why should a player paid a full price of a game, would be required to buy tons of DLC worthing 1-5 bucks? and those should be including in the original fucking game. (like tank trap? FHQ? trench? )
Now there are tons of gaming industries advertising "There is a XXX DLC", even before the game release. This system is fucked.
EA, Sega, Capcom, Square Lynx, Bandai Namco (maybe all Japanese company ) those guys are truly demons of pay2win DLC. Ubisoft do have DLC but they are not that retarded. Blizzard possibly is the only company that keeping the traditional "Original game + expansion" system and say no to dlc.
Don't tell me "but they need to sustain the supporting cost of the game", it's bullshit. If the game is good enough, people would swarm the game store and buy it on the first day, without question. (Starcraft, GTA V, etc)
1. You are not required to buy anything if you only want the full game be happy with that, you don't like the system or new content Don't buy it. You saying "required" is Bs you are not required to buy any dlc or theatre of war content to play the full game in single player or multiplayer.
2. Sure the system sucks and this isn't the golden age of video games and also you cant even expect to have a complete game anymore for the admission price of a full game excellent game 10 years ago. But guess what thats the real world, inflation, money, how to make more of it easier. It has always been this way and it is never going to change sorry agian but welcome to reality. I get so tired of the whining about it though seriously play some games have fun stop fucking whining money will always be an issue. |
I'd give this a serious response if it hand't devolved into childish assumptions and petty insults. Congratulations for entirely missing the point of the post, good luck with your anti-consumer goals of 2014.
LMAO! ooh your forum etiquette, your moral high ground stance, your lofty forum statements from a position of authority.... get a life. And no i dont have an agenda at all im just sick of watching you whiny kids complain about paying for stuff, get a clue this is gonna happen your entire life might as well learn to deal with it now.

I have to agree, it really is a cash grab and its disappointing. The practice of releasing DLC content that effects multiplayer without anyway to earn said content through actual game play is abysmal. Anyone who actually argues otherwise is not pro-consumer. It is truly a spit in the face to all fans of the franchise. Even if it took someone like 20+ hours through exp gains or whatever to unlock a DLC commander, it would still be more acceptable than outright not being able to earn them at all. It would also serve as a carrot on a stick to keep people playing and create a more active multiplayer scene, but short term profits and benefits for some reason blind the marketing team of these facts.
Say it actually does take 20 hours to unlock a DLC commander, just think in the 20 hours that individual plays the game, he/she may take a really big liking to the game and spread the word to their friends. Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool, good business practice will strengthen this but they really missed the ball on this one.
e: For the record I know this commander isn't coming out any time soon, just a rant about DLC commanders and how it literally pissed all over the once good name of company of heroes. sorry.
Oh poor baby they actually want you to pay for content....omg... welcome to the real world kids, you guys are seriously pathetic sometimes quit acting like you live in a jar for real and why should Relic have to give away their commanders for free if you play a lot... what would be in it for them then? You guys whining about actually having to pay for shit make me LOL, I mean come on seriously. Get a job kids then you can get stuff no one gonna give it to you and they shouldnt have too
