agree with most of the points too, game is boring, havent touched it since like 2 months. Keep coming to the forums hoping that some magical new patch is giving another chance to the game but I see its rather the opposite with the new commanders who look quite good on the paper, offering new units but with all the issues mentioned above. On the top of that, the beta patch version is always empty. So I think most of us lost any hope coming from Relic side. On another note, I would like to remind people that vCOH was really a niche community (between 300-700 players online) with a gameplay full of exploitable broken elements until at least patch 1.4 or 1.5 which came out in june, around 4-5 months after release if I remind correctly, so lets not fall into blind nostalgy.

However, maybe it would still be possible to adress it from community side (like in Dow2 and ROTWK ), where community patches gave them another life. As i have no clue about modding, i would just suggest to try coming out with a community patch after gathering all opinions of the top and more engaged players of this community to come out with a community patch where we could play together using basic match but with some off-game rankings.

Another option would be to do something similar like they did with Age of Empire Online having a ranked mode without DLC available (which sadly didnt save the game but gave it a bit longer life and was actually removing all experiennced based items)

Again im really ignorant about the feasibility of those propositions in term of modding tools and copyrights and the energy that people are stll wanting to put into this game.

P.S. on an additional note, Relic original vCOH dev team isnt dead and is currently working on something somethings many of us might wanna jump on at its release

totally agree with OP, good post. COH1 house mechanics were really interesting, building sandbag at a certain distance from the houose to slowly gain the upper hand. sad that this finess hasnt been implemented in COH2. I really hope that small arm fire behind green cover could be another "slow" option to fight against houses.

@Nullist: dont see it as a perosnal attack, but since u show ur stats, my advise, really, try to play some more games before theorycrafting, especially as soviets. Ur ideas and statement arent totally stupid but u are cleary biased and, no offence, but u seem to be quite weak at the game aswell, as ur preoccupations really are far from the priorities to adress in order to improve the game balance. (Ur wall of texts everywhere keeping saying same complain are topics-killers...)

Too bad buildings arent like COH1: doesnt provido such high cover but are more predictable about when they get destroyed

This is not at all the same as ToV. ToV came out 2-3 years after COH1 and was a proper expansion - 2 entirely new factions complete with their own unique doctrines as well as 3 new single player campaigns, some with unique mechanics.

This is 2-3 months after CoH2's release and frankly rather insulting, triply so for any CE purchasers who fronted an extra $40 for what now amounts to vehicle skins. It has nothing to do with being poor or not being able to drop $10. It has everything to do with this being a money grabbing scam compounded by the fact that it's going to sour everyone's MP experience unless you buy in.

Even if they are 100% perfectly balanced players still get to see that they're being excluded from a meaningful part of the game. If the trend continues, after spending $60 (or $100 for CE) for the game, you ultimately spend about another $40 or so filling out the commander roster.

back up your arguments with correct information if you want credibility....try again

lmgs are prolly gonna get tweaked with the next patch anyway
