Just for reference of someone else who might be reading, I have to disable AI Catalyst on my ATI 4870x2 in order to launch Coh2.
This was the last of the generation of cards that no longer got support. ATI did release a patch driver, but its been working rather questionably.
Unfortunately, we have lost quite a lot of players from Coh2 due to lack of proper driver support, as well as the game just flat out not liking some older cards.
Get Nvidia cards = problem solved =) |
If you seriously believe that the MG was doing something before patch, I think you should stop playing this game as soviets only
---------> I'm rank 8 with axis in 1 vs 1 and 8 with soviet in 1 vs 1.
Yes, mg 42 was a support weapow, like a gun use for support your army, grens maybe ?
i used Mg 42 in map like langres, it was very powerfull, and i use one mg 42 in map like kholodyny, because it's a map with not lot "old" buildings.
It's very funny to see some guys find Mg 42 useless in the game before patch, they maybe don't understand the sence of support weapon, MG 42 was very powerfull before patch in close map if you used this unit like a support weapon.
PS : And i forget to say : Mg 42 suppress faster maxim, it's true, the suppression of mg 42 was increase by 10 % you remember ?
So let me get this straight you are rank 8 on both factions (I guess decay doesnt work for shit) and you are actually the ONLY one from the top 10 who believes that MG42 was a powerful tool pre patch. Are you sure we are playing the same game? How exactly the MG42 is overpowered now? Because you cannot rush into its face with 1 cons? Or because you played against someone who actually freaking microes it and suppresses 2 squads? Because right now it feels just as it should be.
P.S: Nope maxim still suppresses MG faster |
|
They are fine 2 cons with ppsh can rape a gren squad. Played with PPSH yesterday and didn`t even notice a difference. But still for some reason it feels that cons started dying faster than before ( vanilla vs vanilla) |
|
But otherwise cons can`t beat grens without having major loses and Ivan doesnt like that =) |
I find the balance broken now.
Why ?
- green cover > buldings, so conscripts of russians < infantery of germans in all situations.
- mg 42 can be use for clear all buildings too and now MG 42 can be use in my opinion like an aggressiv weapon, not like a support weapon like before.
-In close map like langres, if i goes to Maxim, and him mg42, MG 42 win Dual, if i have engage first the mg 42 too, it's not fair.
--------> If the german don't need some Ht flamm or pio flamm for clear buildings, he can go to MG 42 for grens fest ...., but conscript have ppsh more quickly, but mg 42 ( for gren ) in begin is very strong now in all situations.
Before patch, i find maybe cheat the MG 42 upgrade for grens in MINSK because buildings were not here for help conscripts.
For me, the balance is broken, i have stop to play the game.
Green cover should be > buildings
MG42 doesn`t suppress maxim if it doesnt shoot first. So here you either pu maxim out of cover while MG is in cover or you simply use the command attack on move with the maxim and walk into a placed MG. If you seriously believe that the MG was doing something before patch, I think you should stop playing this game as soviets only.... Also why would Ostheer need to upgrade to flames to counter building when soviets can simply throw a molotov? |
|
They are fine as they are now. Atleast now you dont have to camp for 2 hours outside the house trying to force units out |
Now its seems Assult Granadiers are as same as Conscript...
Even its harder to kill shock troop.
what do u think guys ?
Did you just said Ass grens have hard time to beat shocktroops? What did you expect them to do for their price?
Also if you fail to beat cons in 1 1v1 situation try getting closer it might help  |
Top seems easier yea. Who makes 2 mg's though? a M3 or 2 will utterly destroy you. Unless you play a really heavy tier 1 I guess.
That is why you always keep 2 grens next to them to Faust M3s =) Its not like the map is big enough to go somewhere. Usually by sitting right in the middle you cover pretty much everything on the top side. |
|
You can't. Not in a asymmetrical game at least. Look gren/con spamm is not the only way ro play the game right now. Its just those are the popular builds. After this patch i see more ostheer players using variety of units. Can't say the same thing for soviets though. I believe some unit tweaking will change this but for now it is what it is |
|
I think it would be cool to see for people who linked the SteamID to their account here an avatar border depending on the faction they play most and the game mode (1v1,2v2, etc.) |
