Thread: MG3430 Jun 2014, 20:13 PM I actually prefer this one over the MG42 because of the seemingly faster setup/pack up time and the lower price. Also it suits Volks well in the style-department, since both are kinda crappy (still it misses a unique unit portrait, though (has same as Volks). Damn those lazyass 2d artists. Even I can make new icons from existing ones.) In: COH2 Balance
Thread: New soviet unit spotted - true or fake?30 Jun 2014, 20:06 PM it looks really cool, yet I just can't help but say... ...repeating face again? how lazy are those 2d artist Naval Infantry = Guards Riflemen = US Medic Maxim = Shocks MG34 = Volks = Fallschirmjaeger Pathfinder = US Rifle Doctrine Captain = US ''Doctrine with jeep'' (forgot the name) ...and the list goes on. Lazy basterds! But it still looks promising and cool, and thanks to the stylish mustache, the similarity is almost not noticeable In: Lobby
Thread: MG34 - sth is wrong26 Jun 2014, 19:13 PM Sorry if it sounded as if I was bashing Relic. The Western Front Armies, overall, feels extremly polished and well-made... and that's why the unpolished MG34 unit sticks out even more. I wish they could make a new portrait face and icons for the MG34. Something iconic and memorable, what about they take some inspiration from this rather well-known german soldier in the battle of the bulge? He's an MG-guy, too, so it would fit well: *Suggestion for a new MG34 portait face instead of reusing the Volksgrenadier portrait.* Relic makes new commander portraits always, always. They can easily make a new MG34 protrait to give the unit a more unique and polished feel. Also the MG34 gunner from Day of Defeat 1 has a face that could be used as inspiration for a new MG34 unit portrait (instead of lazily reusing the Volks' portrait and face on it). It's even a MG34, so what are they waiting for? *Suggestion for a new MG34 portait face instead of reusing the Volksgrenadier portrait.* In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: MG34 - sth is wrong26 Jun 2014, 16:52 PM Jump back to quoted post26 Jun 2014, 06:01 AMDullahan They reused portraits in the base game too. But not that obvious, not on 2 units, just on minor stuff. I mean look at this! it's the same face 3 times! It is very obvious and seems so unpolished, especially combined with MG34s wrong callin icon (MG42!) and it's limited voice lines (taken from the Raketenwerfer 43). The MG34 is in dire need of polish, the very least they should do is add a damn new face for the MG34's portrait. Heck, at least with Falls they slightly changed it! In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: MG34 - sth is wrong25 Jun 2014, 16:48 PM Jump back to quoted post25 Jun 2014, 06:34 AMbraciszek OKW fortification commander: MG bunker is crewed by an Ostheer mg42 crewman. yeah, seems lazy and rushed, too. But the MG34 team, even though it's doctrinal, is quite a typical/common unit for the OKW. It is in several doctrines. So it is more irritating and more obvious if such a unit is unpolished. As I said before, they could even use an existing face from the Commander portraits. Still better and less obvious than repeating the Volksgrenadier unit portrait. I think the Luftwaffe Ground Forces guy actually has a face that might fit an MG-themed unit quite well IMO. He looks kinda rugged, a bit like Ostheer's MG42 unit portrait face. Breakthrough guy would be my second choice. here's the basic (not locked by default) new commander portraits, by way of illustration: (also note how the MG34 ability has the same icon as the OKW HQ's Volksgrenadiers build icon, just with a ammo symbol. It's too similar. Still more fiting than the MG42 icon the call-in ability will have ingame, though) In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: MG34 - sth is wrong25 Jun 2014, 06:13 AM quote post="169835"]They had no time to fix these small issues all around. Release had to be a day early, you know? which is why they should do it now. At least the icons and unit portriats (MG42 icon for the MG34, really?) It seems way too lazy, way too unpolished. This unit breaks the mood of this otherwise pulished expansion. It strikes you immediately. Heck, they use faces from unit portraits on some of the commanders. e.g. Rifle Doctrine has the Pathfinder face. Compare: So the least Relic could do is add one of the OKW's Commander faces for the MG34's portrait to make it differ from the Volksgrenadier portrait In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Disappointed with OKWs extra commanders24 Jun 2014, 20:54 PM Jump back to quoted post24 Jun 2014, 18:45 PMAffe [...] Relic pls kick the boring Ostwind out of the OKW commander and replace it with the Wirbelwind and also kick the Pak 43 out and replace it with the FlaK 88. If i want to see Ostwinds and Pak 43s i choose the old Ostheer army having These also in the OKW is just silly and boring. [...] agreed. Though I heard it mentioned somewhere instead of Wirbelwind why not simlply give a call-in stolen Sherman to that commander. The Germans actually did this. It's called 'Beutepanzer'. It would be easy to do since the model already exists, it would just look like an abandoned Sherman that was recrewed by OKW (with Blakenkreuz) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: MG34 - sth is wrong24 Jun 2014, 18:32 PM Hello all, first off, let me say that I think this expansion (the Western Front Armies) is extremly well made and (surprisingly) polished. It actually tops the original vCoH 2 when it comes to cool ideas and visuals. But one thing seems wrong. The MG34 was obviously added last minute. This is why I beleive so: - when the Commander with the MG34 is selected you will see a clickable MG42 (Ostheer!) icon you can click to call the MG34. What? - no own audio. It uses the same lines as the Raketenwerfer 43 (the T0 Oberkommando anti-tank gun; cut some of these that don't fit it. Obviously no time left for proper own audio like all other units? (Also no angry lines when you repeatedly click the MG34) - no ammunition belts like all other MG teams. It's just Volks. It should be at least Volks with ammo belts. The US has Riflemen with additional ammunition belts manning the .50cal Browning HMG. Seems odd. I see no other explenation but that they had no more time to even make that little model change. - the portrait is always the same. The MG34 has the Volksgrenadiere portrait. Seriously, they made so many icons for all the commanders and the new units, can't they make one more for the MG34? This seems rushed. Honestly, it's too early to reasonably judge balance anyways, so let's talk about this. The MG34, right now, unlike most off the new things in this (excellent) expansion seems rushed and unfinished. Heck, even the firing sound seems a bit lazy (and the Sound Rec guys did a tremendous job otherwise!) What is wrong with this unit? It needs to be polished so it fits in with this pretty expansion In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Western Front combat music24 Jun 2014, 05:52 AM In my opinion, the music should only be faction dependant. As US Forces and OKW the new music should always play, while the 'old' factions get to hear the old music (and if there's mixed teams some players hear different music, so what?) I believe the old music does not suit the vibe of the new factions. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Western Fronts Alpha1 May 2014, 22:01 PM so, not to be impatient, but when are they gonna tell me if I am in the alpha? I only got a confirmation mail after I applied. Relic! Answer, now! In: Lobby
