Just tested it and no they cant detect the German sniper. In addition to this if the German sniper counter snipes and is in cover he will cloak before the Russian sniper can fire back. COH2 stats is wrong for the Russian sniper it shows them having a range of 35 when its actually 50 in game. I think it just has the conscript stats so it may need updating. Range 35 might help with the sniper car problem though, just a thought.

Eh? Blizzard developed their service for Warcraft II back in 1996, I don't see what WoW has to do with that.

Since 1996 it has expanded exponentially, most days over 500 thousand people are connected to battle.net. In 1996 Warcraft 2 was still a niche game with a (comparatively to today's standards)a small community. The complexity of the systems, the locals of the servers (all over the world) and having to deal with laws/regulations /staff//maintenance in todays climate is COMPLETELY different to 1996 mate and costs a fortune.

Yes the current p2p system they have in place in COH2 is a joke but if there was and is a better/ cheaper/ more efficient way to have people connected (from all global locations) I am sure they would be using it. Ok I put this question to everyone, would people be willing to pay 5-10 dollars a month to allow relic to maintain servers across the globe? The answer is probably not and given the relatively small player base playing this game that fee may need to be substantially higher.

Just a thought, why cant they make all content unlockable in-game via Grinding at least then there is an avenue for those less fortunate to obtain the DLC and not have to swipe daddies CC details. If it takes 500 games with each faction so be it, there should be an option to do this but ahwell gaming today.... Companies going public and having to make super normal profits to appease shareholders is what the problem is but too late to go back now. I applaud independent developers like Stardock, fantastic games (Sins of a Solar Empire and Fallen Enchantress) from a small crew making games to appease the community not the shareholders. Rant over.

Well they must have realised given the OP nature of Infantry Conscript Commander that it would not have been a good idea, The information on this Commander is WRONG. It has actually been completely replaced in game by a Different Commander with an IS2, Recon and some other garbage. Yes it is better for balance but for the product advertised to be totally different from that offered on steam its such poor marketing and communication, someones head should roll for this, people buying 1 thing and getting something completely different very bad business practice.

DLC in general is bad business, this is not an MMO with dedicated servers that need continual maintenance so there for a need for a constant income stream is absolute BS. This is an RTS on P2P for it to succeed it needs to be balanced so by offering OP commanders to people who can afford it, it just breaks the fundamentals if the game. I have no problem with pay for skins but NOTHING and I mean NOTHING should be payed DLC that has an actual effect on Gameplay and Balance. Very bad Relic/Sega. Unfortunately I can see this going the way of COHO both with P2W and it being dead in a few months after release especially without Ladders and Anti Cheat. Tsk, Tsk. Just my 2 cents, cheers Grund.

Also it really does need a pack up time, it is instant ATM and it makes flanking it nearly impossible. In team games we are seeing alot of MG/ATG abuse, you cant flank the MG and cant get a vehicle to do it either. Please add a pack-up time and reduce ALL Soviet weapon teams to 3 maybe 4 men tops.
