Thread: Does CoH1 have a future?6 Jul 2015, 20:35 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2015, 17:41 PMAvNY I am a huge fan of COH1 and still prefer to play it over COH2 (which I purchased). There are certainly improvements in COH1 over COH2 though if you only play COH1 you probably feel you don't need them. - Reverse on vehicles. - being able to see all your units at the same time, including their status and health. - getting increased experience for killing vetted (higher value) units. - Trusight. You may not be into this, but here is one change that INCREASED strategic and tactical depth to the game. - Snow/mud. This is certainly an technological improvement. But it is very dependent on how effectively it is implemented in maps. If it adds too much complexity to balancing a map, well... use less of it. - NO SNIPER META! (Even now that I have learned much better to use these, snipers still feel like they break the flow/feel of COH1.) Also COH2 has battle servers with some hacking detection. Currently in COH1 maphacking just isn't an issue. Partly because the game became irrelevant so no one codes them. This is about real improvements, not the things we don't like as COH1 fans. The test is if you were playing with these features for a long while, would you then miss them if you went back to COH1. - There is a reverse drive script for coh1 aswell. Dunno if it is considered legit yet. - You can see all your units, just the unit table doesnt block your screen all the time. I would prefer though to have the information about health and status on the minimap. - It may be possible to code increased XP and EP using scar. Interesting idea - Snow and mud is basically what low water is in coh1. - Yeah sniper meta is a problem. A big improvment of coh2 is the streaming options. In: COH Central
Thread: Does CoH1 have a future?6 Jul 2015, 14:36 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jul 2015, 14:22 PMErguvan The only TrueSight feature is enough for me to leave CoH1 And there are some other nice things such as directional cover, diverse units, deadly co-axial and hull guns, more necessity to have weapon support units (hmg, mortar) and tooo many option to deal with armors from at infantries to heavy assault guns.. these are the first things that come to my mind Truesight is not an improvment. All the other stuff you named already existed in coh1. In: COH Central

Things changed and you didn't give it a chance, it has plenty of improvements. If you want Everything like Coh1, that game already exists. And you should be happy. You quoted me, but you didnt read. I played alpha, beta and the free weekend offers, before i finally got the game by humble bundle. Plenty of chance for the game to convinve me. I do not criticize the balance, but the design. Issues, which im afraid will not be fixed ever. Because of these, i dont like coh2. Please name me some improvments. Its not a troll question, im really curious. regards In: COH Central
Thread: Panther and Flak 88 found in perfect condition in Germany4 Jul 2015, 01:16 AM The tank was produced by the brits after the war, then scrapped. The guy, who owns it today, bought it from the scrapyard and restored it to running order. It is demilitarized. The officials knew about it since almost half a century. I envy this guy, because will receive now alot of damage compensation. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Does CoH1 have a future?15 Jun 2015, 14:55 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Jun 2015, 08:04 AMpigsoup i agree with this post a lot more. "each to their own [opinion]" as i think lesser structure is nicer while you don't. which is my general feeling to this post. your last post felt to me baseless but now that you explained more, i see more merit. but to be honest, if relic IS trying to make money off of these pointless stuffs, what is taking so long? and they debut their decal system with ONE decal ffs. no one knows what relic is thinking. although i hear next patch is gonna be damn good. No, its a design issue, not mere opinion bias. in Coh1 you start the game with riflemen, which fight other riflemen. the one squad wins, which uses cover and the optimal range of their weapons. The next step is an armored vehicle, which can´t be killed by rifles or improving your infantry by buying veterancy or better equipemnt. It costs alot of ressources though, so its a high risk, but high reward tech. The enemy can counter armored vehicles by teching for AT weapons. As the game goes along, you tech for heavier armored vehicles (tanks), which require better AT weapons. A good mix of AT/AI normally will win you the game, if you dont loose units. In coh2 you have an atgun (hardcounter!) from the start and you can build a late game vehicle in early game. There is no tech choice anymore, thus no variety. You already have everything, which makes the game boring. In: COH Central
Thread: Does CoH1 have a future?15 Jun 2015, 07:40 AM Jump back to quoted post14 Jun 2015, 19:10 PMpigsoup 1. that is the first gripe? have you noticed various other UI improvements and added features in the main menu? 2. play more and you'll see okw trucks and brit trucks are pretty different. although i still despise them for how they scale into bigger game modes. 3. each to their own. 4. a neat cosmetic touch. doesn't force you to do anything about it. i for one love dropping papers above enemy's base when i win as sov. other times, i dont care at all. how can one even complain about that? The setup of the menu us abit confusing. However thats what you get used to and dont bother anymore after some time (the same was with coh1). However i don´t like the redundant art stuff in the menu, for example when you are searching for a game and it shows you a radar map, which grants you no information. Also being able to unlock different art colorations or the victory arty, shows you, that relic developers focused more on redundant stuff with the possibility to sell it, than creating a good gameplay. Coh1 didnt need all this crap, because the core game was already enough to entertain you for years (and still does). The problem of the trucks is, that you cannot cut off your enemy, which is one of the most important strategies to win. There is no way to fix this other than to let the trucks stay in the base sector, where they belong. the fact that relic decided to put that stuff into the successor, showed that they dont care about the criticism of their customers. The other possibility is, that they are a bunch of idio.. Sry, but that is the other logical solution. "each to their own" Pls explain! Basically i was talking about this at the beginning. Having this in place doesnt harm anyone, however it shows you that relic had their focus on redundant stuff to earn money. In: COH Central
Thread: Does CoH1 have a future?12 Jun 2015, 14:15 PM I accidently got coh2 when i buyed the humble bundle. I played alpha and beta before, so i was quite curious what has changed. Once i started the game, i was welcomed with dlc commercials wtf?? In coh1 you had also your annoying blinking window on the left, but now it fills the complete screen! I tried Oberkommando West the first time and was confused about the brit like truck gameplay. Why again relic? People complained about this shit before coh2 was even made. I won´t expand my rant about getting an ATgun as a first unit, otherwise this text will become too long. Buildable units of the trucks feel randomly placed. In coh1 you had an arc of unit development (infantry-> armored vehicles-> tanks). Along this setup you had the pressure of creating an effective AT counter. Now this seems completly messed up. Why do you have the ability to choose, which kind of arty will destroy the enemy base, once you have already won the match? This option doesnt grant me any advantage or variety ingame. Coh1 will have a future, but not a big one. As long as people play and stream, who care about a good game. In: COH Central
