Thread: Relic: October patch is coming21 Oct 2014, 20:49 PM Jump back to quoted post17 Oct 2014, 16:06 PMwayward516 Relic totally needs to unveil a 5 Year Plan for COH2 They announced it a while ago http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-05-29-relics-five-year-plan-for-company-of-heroes-2 They just didn't write a good plan. I'm basing that on: 1) the general feeling on this forum and the official forums. Players are unhappy and leaving. 2) my feeling when I play the game and struggle with bugs and RNG. 3) a comparison with other games of the same genre that have playerbases 5/10/100 times the size. For the amount of money that has been invested in CoH2 the return must be pathetic. Either the plan is wrong or there is no plan - personally I think they just thought "Oh we heard this term once in a documentary about the soviet union and we have a soviet army, let's use it!" Gimmicks and super-units, that's what gamers want! 5 years is too long. They'll be lucky to survive 1 if they don't sort themselves out and fix their product. In: Lobby

Thread: Someone said Demos? 21 Oct 2014, 06:49 AM First download I really hate demos, I'd rather no army had them or that they were all auto-timed. But when they're your demos Spanky, it's not so bad. "specially when he's truck-pushing etc, seems kinda justified. Gg wp) In: Replays
Thread: Vs. Marcus Stc19 Oct 2014, 20:01 PM Uploaded to ask advice. Can anyone suggest what to spend MP on mid-late game as OKW when facing 3/4 T34-s + 120mm mortar? I ended up floating as I couldn't think of the counter... In: Replays
Thread: Underperforming pieces of artillery19 Oct 2014, 12:11 PM Jump back to quoted post19 Oct 2014, 11:56 AMAerohank So you hate the only thing that makes soviet arty viable? It makes it a bit too viable. What does everyone want arty for anyway? It's not like there is a problem with Sim-City-ing like in coh1. Do people just want it to be even easier to kill full squads from the safety of their base? yeah, let's just play Howitzers vs Stukas, yay fun. Soviet heavy arty inaccurate at times but if your opponent doesn't have bombing run, you'll have the arty piece all damn game. They don't even cost fuel. Also remember that Soviets have a monopoly on heavy arty. US has the Priest which isn't amazing but pretty good. Ostheer has a laughable arty piece. BUT LESS ARTY IS A GOOD THING I don't want to see CoH2 turn into an arty fest. Use your soldjas! In: Lobby
Thread: Best and Worst Voice Acting15 Oct 2014, 00:57 AM I'm glad I'm not the only one who cares about the voice acting. With all the work they put into CoH2, skimping on the voice acting is like throwing a huge classical concert but making the orchestra play on broken banjos. Relic really chose a poor company to do it. The Soviets aren't voiced by English-speaking Russians and the Germans aren't voiced by English-speaking Germans. It sounds cheap. It puts me off playing Soviets because they just sound so damn awful. It's a shame too because Russian voices can sound fantastic and add a lot to the atmosphere. Instead they feel like the game's dedicated comic relief. Designed to look crappy, fight crappy and sound crappy The Germans don't sound much better but they at least have good core inf. Relic, if anyone there is reading this - I work in game localisation in Russia, I can give you a shortlist of Russian sound studios that can provide Voice actors who work in Russian TV/Theatre. Please, for the love of God, find a company that can offer native-speakers for Russian and German sound files. And I recommend hiring an actual translator to write texts with Russian language instead of google-translating. One glaring example is "Kholodnaya Ferma", not "Kholodnii Ferma". In: Lobby
Thread: New level of COH2 cynicism5 Oct 2014, 20:05 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Oct 2014, 19:22 PMKreatiir Some random guy who just got the game telling every respected player that leaves the scene that he's making a drama and should just shut the fuck up. Drama is only stupid when it's not true, and the story about Relic and cynicism is true, so I suggest you don't reply to stuff you don't know anything about. +1 In: Lobby
Thread: Soviet artillery, or how soviet union win the war ... :D4 Oct 2014, 14:02 PM Soviets are the only faction with access to long-range high-powered artillery pieces. Basically the Germans get off-map, the Soviets get on-map. Also remember that you get a very big bombing run in a few doctrines, not to mention strafe and incendiary. Incendiary is just as devastating to infantry as standard artillery. It's not like you even need it. Or did you want to play a game where you just drop artillery after artillery on the enemy and win without firing a single shot? Sheesh. Did you play a lot of Brits in CoH1 eh? Lastly, if we're talking about realism - Forget realism. It has nothing to do with good gameplay. Or do you want the Germans to have Panzer IIs and heavy howitzers at T2? And the only soviet abilies until 7CP are "retreat / scorch earth"? TLDR - the less arty this game has - the better. In: Lobby

Thread: Why are there so few good players in the CoH2 playerbase.30 Sep 2014, 19:46 PM Number 1 - No rank system. Check any standard motivation table, you'll see "Recognition" high on the list. That goes for work as well as sports and hobbies. Number 2 - No professionally organised tournaments. Kreatir and co. do a very good job but they don't seem to get support or sponsors from Relic. I could be wrong... I've rarely seen tourneys advertised in-game and rarely seen attractive prizes. Why invest a lot of time to become "pro" when there's no pay-of? Pros get paid. CoH2 doesn't pay. I also think as Ohme said, they got cheesed and left. They come and have to face: Blobs. US+OKW are blob-friendly. Blobbing kills this game. Snipers/M3HT/Maxims - zero fun. Legitimate strategies but zero goddamn fun to face. T0 vehicles when all you have is inf Soviet core infantry not scaling. Goodbye vetted units, goodbye, you die so that I might live free of popcap. RNG RNG RNG RNG RNG Hard to predict what's gonna happen = squad wipes. And speaking of squad-wipes, the biggest turd in the CoH2 toilet = The ISU-152. I think that alone accounted for a large chunk of players. That and the SUPERTANK META and shitty cheap 1-shot-kill soviet mine + demo spam >:/ In: COH2 Gameplay
