Thread: Elite Mod - Snipers10 Dec 2013, 15:57 PM I am no expert, but it seems to me that switching snipers to a passive cloak is the first option we should try. I think by implementing this two things will be achieved: 1) The importance of the counter-snipe decreases as the viability of other counters increases. 2) As sniper vulnerability goes up, a greater proportion of the player's manpower must be invested in units to protect his sniper, making spam less viable. This may or may not be enough to fix the problem on its own. Increasing the counter-snipe hit rate to something like 85% (IMO determinism doesn't fit with CoH's character) is something that might be tried in addition to changing the cloak mechanic.

Thread: Elite Mod COH - Download and Changelog9 Dec 2013, 19:24 PM This looks like a huge improvement. I really want to give this a try, but I just can't play without my Inverse grid keys. Is there a way to get that mod to work along side this one? In: COH Central
Thread: 4 things that would make CoH2 instantly better20 Jun 2013, 09:30 AM They really fucked with everything that gave CoH elegance and personality and ended up with an uninteresting mediocre hodgepodge of CoH superficiality. The original had the feeling of a deep and intricate board game whereas CoH2 reminds me more of a slapdash CCG. I would be depressed about the way CoH2 has turned out if I hadn't recently drifted away from gaming. Good timing I guess. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Mirror Match1 Jan 2013, 00:48 AM Jump back to quoted post31 Dec 2012, 21:55 PMTychoCelchuuu Yes but football has mirror matches. If in each game, one team was always on offense and the other was always on defense I don't know if football would be as popular. Imagine if a really good defensive team lost the coin flip in the Superbowl and had to play offense, or if the Superbowl was a best of three and two good defense teams were up against each other and one had to play offense twice. Football also has mirrored maps too. In fact most competitive sports have mirror matches and many have mirror maps... Absurd. The comparison with football is an analogy which you have taken ridiculously too far. In: Lobby

Thread: Mirror Match14 Dec 2012, 14:00 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Dec 2012, 12:47 PMS73v0 ^^ True dat. CoH 1 was amazing but not very realistic. Yet the argument of realism is being brought up so many times here... I don't care much about realism so long as the gameplay is good. Take care not to inadvertently straw man here. Most of the people who are opposed to mirror matches are not really making a realism argument. For the most part it's an "it would be boring/would cause balance issues" argument. I happen to think that the inclusion of mirror matches might end up being worse for competitive play by severely cutting down on the number of people spectating events. In: Lobby
