Thread: Give Me Tips26 Jun 2013, 16:03 PM Defensive means you're trying to hold territory that give you an advantage. Traditionally this isn't done immediately outside your base... Offensive means you're being aggressive and trying to take territory from the opponent that is valuable (ie a cutoff or a fuel/muni point). In reality the soviet army mirrors the Americans with hints of brits while the osteer are a hybrid between wehr and PE as far as the meta game goes. Against good opponents on balanced maps you will have to use combined arms to gain a victory or elite micro ability - you used neither of those here. Of course, you could always make 2 scout cars and lame yourself to victory, but, again, I think that strat is becoming more map dependent. While sitting there fighting him in HtD you weren't gaining any resources therefore he out tech'd you because you refused to build T2 to dig yourself out of an early resource dearth. K Pumpkin?

Thread: Give Me Tips26 Jun 2013, 07:04 AM First things first - the maps without snow/blizzards are infinitely more fun to watch/play in. There's a fluidity to the game that is much more enjoyable and familiar. A blizzard while you're being pinned back in your base would have 1. allowed you to come out (unfairly as he's much better at the game then you) 2. prolonged this another 10 minutes. /exitblizzardblowsDICKrant Secondly, this guy is simply a much better player than you in terms of micro and macro. His strategy of going t1-t3 was really strong, and once he secured his side he was constantly depriving you of fuel. The game really hinged on him saving that first mg and getting it in that house at the beginning. Does anyone else really enjoy this map btw? Screams Ango (even in the snow). You wasted time and munitions constantly throwing molotovs even as this guy rarely got stuck in one. Your reliance on HtD to win you engagements ended exactly in the cheap failure that it realistically should. If I understand it right, and I don't think it's implementation is good at all at the moment, HtD is a defensive weapon, not an offensive one. It should be used to prolong a fight so that you can get other units into it...not sprint up and slam yourself on the ground, in no cover, and expect results. Because you selected your doctrine for HtD, basically that entire part of your plan failed. He used the offensive capability of the officer squad for fuck sake...and you just slapped HtD on and prayed for the best. Clearly he has thought long and hard on how to deal with your strat. Here you lacked versatility or adaptability to the resulting situation. He spammed T1, yet you continued to think a mortar, or an OP maxim, or an AT gun for that T3 rush wasn't ever going to be needed, even after no t2 units appeared on the field. If it makes you feel any better, Kholonbifdgoifdgughwhatever is probably one of the only maps where osteer are really allowed to shine simply because it's small with a distinct cutoff. The other ones in rotation? Not so much. In: Replays
Thread: Crash Report #16645425 Jun 2013, 20:49 PM I had the same problem in the beta and ended up having to get a new card....right before they released a patch that supposedly fixed the issue....sike. It seems to be a compatibility issue between the latest version of DirectX, the game, and the card. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Counter PzIV rush with what?25 Jun 2013, 17:21 PM What are you new, kid? Just do what every other lame soviet player does ad nauseum - Scout Cars (like 2-5) + flamers and call in infantry. Rush base. Game over in 5 minutes. Also, 4-5 Maxim MGs - Elite Call in infantry - T34 How hard is that? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: CoH2 DLC Prices Revealed24 Jun 2013, 23:06 PM I'm all for DLC as long as they continue to support their game by balancing, listening to the community, and stopping cheating. That's fair. Just don't make a shitty game and I won't mind. As of right now, I'm still up in the air about the level of shit so we'll have to see. Also, where do I buy the DLC that turns off blizzards? Thanks.

Thread: Starting a LAID clan24 Jun 2013, 22:57 PM I mostly play defense with the theme of complete obliteration of forum opposition... That and I tell people that the game sucks and where it sucks. Other than that, I'm a pretty agreeable chap. In: Lobby
