I personally don't see how the previous scene was "thrown under a bus" as you put it.

I am not privy to the conversations that go on in the basement but if they weren't interested in you guys they wouldn't have invested all that money in SNF5 nor would they spend all that money on international flights to get some of the more influential community members to their HQ.

So was it Hans who said DSHK was a good idea? =)

I agree, but it's hard when the game is so uninteresting competitively. We had pretty close to zero developer support for years in vCoH and yet we thrived because everyone loved the game and wanted it to succeed. CoH2 has done a very good job of pissing off and alienating all the people who loved vCoH and showed up to events and played and organized and dedicated their free time to it.

Maybe another group of people will come along and have the same passion for CoH2 that we had for vCoH, and maybe then the scene will thrive. But I'd think it would be a lot easier to retain and build on the community that grew around your previous game in spite of its lack of support than to throw them under the bus and hope a similar group replaces them.

You are pretty aggressive for a Canadian =)

both games you mentioned have a larger player- and viewerbase, still, why would you go for 1v1 rather than games including more players?

When I want to play competitively with a team I will play an FPS or MOBA or an MMO, but not an RTS game. I sure play 2v2 and 3v3 modes with my GF in CoH2 but not competitively, just for fun. And if you look at the way the commanders are made, heck even the soviet faction. Commanders complete each other creating depth, same as the Soviet gameplay.... You can`t argue with that, I am sure you have noticed.
The way Relic goes it just feels that they are aiming for that casual play (for fun).
You see more variation in a 2v2 + mode that in 1v1.... (Right now the flavor of the month is spamm cons/grens) So I can`t understand how you see this game being balanced around 1v1.
Even TA commander makes sense now. You wont be able to hold out for 10 mins in 1v1, you will simply run out of VP. But in 2v2+ modes you can rely on your team mates to hold out for you while you sit and wait for the resources to kick back in again.
I am really disappointed by Relic at this moment. I quit the game for like 2 months and came back a month ago and the game looks worse than it was before.

Its probably not enough of a buff tbh.

Nothing should be running through a MG42s arc.
You go AROUND it, not into it or through it.

But yes, we will see.

This is where you are wrong. 2 cons should be able to charge through the arc and 1 should be able to reach molotov range if the ostheer player doesnt change the target the MG should shoot. But by no means I want to see 1 cons squad being able to run through the arc into MG face and be able to throw molotovs

You are gonna look a right fool if its suppression gets buffed.

He already looks like one.
