?Relic:What you loved about COH1 that COH2 didn't quite deliver on

The campaign, some voice acting, commander system.

?Relic:What could be improved on COH1 that COH2 did and did not deliver.

This is a really confusing sentence; I'll assume you are asking "what could be improved on in COH1 that was not addressed in COH2"

Customization hotkeys, dual monitor support, general optimization of the game, customization of UI, rewind in replays, balance for larger team games, state of balance/number of bugs at release, piss poor patching process (frequency, quality of patches, the shear number of bugs reintroduced patch after patch).

?Relic: What you love about COH1 - Where did it excel (balance, commander design, campaign, etc.)

The campaign, sound design, fluid tactical game play.

?Relic: What you love about COH2 - its best features (campaign, faction design, TrueSight, commanders, etc.), whatever you feel they may be

True sight, sound design, capture points, AA single player campaign, unit icons in the upper right corner, reverse button for vehicles, vaulting, unit skins, leaderboards, observation mode, sniper play.

?Relic: If you could, what you would cut from COH2

Dominance of indirect fire, stagnant game play.

?Relic:What would you want to carry forward from COH2

Pretty much everything outside of the points mentioned above. Additionally, I would want to keep the profanity filter.

?Relic:Where possibly both COH1 or COH2 fell short - where in your opinion is the untapped potential?

Automatch for mods and customized games, CO-OP games, theater of war, E-sports, balance for larger team games

?Relic:We'd also love to hear what your favorite way to play either game is. Do you play mainly team games, competitive 1v1, competitively or casually, comp stomps, modded games, etc.?

Team games, casual.

I think tellers are ok as they can be swept; a player has the opportunity to reliably counter them.

If I ruled the COH2 universe, I would require a player to have a unit within a certain proximity to detonate them.

Most games both sides open with a tier. If they dont I faking dont understand how can they lose to maxim spam if they can can spam mgs too having full extra squad and earlier productiin of them?

A MG-42 can be preposition in green cover. A Maxim can walk into the 42's cone, set up in no cover, get suppressed by the 42 and the Maxim will still win the engagement.

Clearly COH2 is a low priority project and the level of support has dropped, but is it abandoned - no. The winter balance patch is a clear example that they are providing some level of support.

Wut?
If one squad is rushing MG position, they shouldn't be suppressed as much as if there was a human wave / a massed assault attacking same MG position?

If your MG gets overwhelmed, it gets overwhelmed. End of story. If enemy is getting massed infantry instead of tanks, just get another MG to cover the same path.

If you continue to read to Elchino7's post after mine he corrected my statement stating there actually is a modifier in place, but its not working well enough with some units.

A modifier lets an mg scale. Its a modification for the sake of balance and game play. If there were no modifier and the level of suppression were adjusted such that it were balanced against blobs, in the late game, MG's would be hella OP in the early game.
