Hey man, interesting post. I did want to say that I agree with you regarding the cosmetics and atmosphere of coh2.

But I'm going to criticize you for a moment. First off, the title is misleading and sounds a bit more like something that's going to be gunning for the pay2win model. Secondly, you have to consider that the game was being developed under a company that was falling apart (THQ). You have to consider that relic may have been in a situation where they didn't have the time to add that level of detail. It's a bit disappointing, but to say that the game is completely inferior in terms of visuals is an over exaggeration. There are some things that look great, I mean did you even consider the fact that they went out and recorded a lot of the weapon sounds for the real weapons to improve the gunfire sound effects?

Lastly, just because you bought the game and didn't enjoy the art style doesn't mean they think you're a "joke". This isn't logical whatsoever. You bought the game, they made it a certain way, they aren't all sitting in a wooden cabin sipping french wines laughing their ass off at your purchase or something. In the end, I think it comes down to personal preference. Because I played vcoh for nearly 6 years I prefer the visuals and atmosphere of vcoh. However the coh2 visuals and gameplay have grown on me a bit. IF I could somehow get vcoh visuals, yea, I'd probably take those (I really miss the awe of large artillery strikes and the feeling of epicness that was more common in the games).

Also, that was an epic goliath kill lol.

Can't wait for battle ass, cost=20 manpower

Wait why 500 mp!? What's the reasoning behind that? It's not like the community was vocal about a starting mp change. Aww Molotov bug was so fun lol.

What about buggy tank pathing!?! Oh and the semois tank pathing bug?? And cancel mine bug!? Arghhg!!!!!!!

It's a change that's supposed to open up more builds for both players. For example, russians can get a first tier building up asap, maybe get some penals and / or tier 2, eliminating a need for pumping out conscripts every game and getting stuck in that conspam rut. Germans can more easily get 2 pios for faster capping, or a fast sniper, stuff like that without it really impacting your unit composition too much adding more versatility.

Industry for soviets and Elite for Germans are really OP. In this moment the game is unplayable cause of that. So don't waste your time trying to find a counter to something that cannot be countered (if the other player is not a totally noob).

You are a fool

Good idea, here you guys go, thanks!
