Thread: M26 Pershing/Calliope Debate21 Aug 2015, 06:19 AM My main complaint about the USF is that unless you pick the Airborne commander, you never really have full access to your entire line of crew weapons. I believe the info graphic they just released to outline the strengths and weaknesses of each faction said that the USF excels in combined arms. How is this possible if they don't even have a base line mortar? How is this possible if they have to pick between either a MG or an AT gun? The fundamental rock paper scissors idea of the game has been thrown out the window with the OKW and USF. USF players cannot adequately answer MG spam or heavy tanks. When it takes significantly more effort for one faction to counter something that another faction does, it's not fun. As a primarily USF player, I would like to have access to a complete set of crew weapons after the selection of Lieutenant or Captain. I believe that to be essential. A heavy tank comes secondary to that, for me at least. In: Lobby
Thread: ML-20 and barraging the enemy base need a nerf. 28 Jul 2015, 00:44 AM I think this problem only really exists in 1v1 and 2v2 on the smaller maps. Also, as multiple people have stated, base barraging has been around since CoH1. This is not a new phenomenon. There are counters to it outside of the stuka dive bomb. I think the only real problem is that they increased the number of shots per salvo a little too much when you add in the vet 1 perk. If they make any changes, they should look at the vet 1 perk first. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Allied Medium Tanks Overperforming/too spammable?27 Jul 2014, 13:58 PM I think Allied medium tanks are definitely very strong for their cost, but they kind of need to be. Consider the fact that the Americans have no heavy tanks, and really strong/cost effective medium tanks start to make sense. If their medium tanks weren't as good as they currently are, they would have no other option than AT guns in the late game against German heavies. I think the Panther is definitely strong. I see them misused more often than I see them used properly or conservatively. People seem to think that because it's a 175 fuel tank, they can just run it straight into any Allied army with good results. In: COH2 Balance

Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies23 Jun 2014, 02:17 AM Something to be noted about the 3 Stukas strafing and then FSJ parachuting in: Unless they've changed it, the ability works kind of like sector artillery in how it does damage. Seems like you guys are kind of brushing it off as a gimmick ability, but it was REALLY strong. Whether it is upon release remains to be seen. In: Lobby
Thread: So what's new?19 May 2014, 17:21 PM Jump back to quoted post19 May 2014, 15:06 PMTricycle_Looper I'm sorry I won't be giving it a try until all the DLC commanders become free or are removed. I'm not trying to be rude, but it sounds like you'd enjoy SC2 a lot more than CoH2. There's nothing wrong with that, but personally I find SC2 incredibly boring because the lack of flavor and variety. I'm not trying to beat up on SC2 because it's a good game in it's own right, but it happens to be the perfect example of this. It's usually a pretty well balanced game due to the fact that there is less variety. Think about all the different little things that you can do with your army in CoH2 to customize it and adapt it to your individual play style. You can even change the appearance of your units, and the performance of them very slightly. Those sorts of things make the game more interesting to me, but they do inevitably cause balance issues. Some people thing a perfectly balanced game is more fun, others think a game with more variety and flavor is more fun. There's nothing wrong with either choice, but I happen to fall into the latter group and prefer a game like CoH2 to SC2 - even if the balance does suffer. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Western Front - lack of info?15 May 2014, 03:24 AM I don't have a problem pre-ordering from developers that have treated me well in the past. I'd rather save myself the hassle of buying it on release day and just being able to jump into the action immediately. With that said, there are a few developers/publishers that I will not pre-order from anymore. The biggest offender is easily EA. BF4 really let me and everyone else who plays on a PC down. That is the true definition of a poor release. CoH2 was nowhere near as bad as BF4 was when it was released. All I'm saying is that we should cut Relic some slack when it comes to balance issues. Such issues are present in every multiplayer game out there, and they are even more apparent in games with a lot of different units/classes/factions/etc. WFA will almost certainly have a negative effect on balance, regardless of how much testing is done. I'm willing to tolerate that for more content at a fair price. To me, that is reasonable. In: Lobby
Thread: Western Front - lack of info?14 May 2014, 06:01 AM Jump back to quoted post14 May 2014, 05:39 AMpantherswag The expansion is definitely not finished yet, and it probably won't be even upon release. By not releasing anything they can cover this up until people have pre-ordered on empty promises and are out 20 bucks. #NoRefunds Personally, I don't really care if it is indeed a turd. Compared to how EA/DICE treated me as a customer, Relic is doing some seriously strong work with their games. CoH2 certainly isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn good. CoH2 could absolutely be a lot worse than it is. In fact, my main complaint is that I don't really like either faction. I don't like the Red Army tech tree or units, and while the German army feels a lot better to me, I'd rather play as the Americans...because 'MERICA. I don't want Relic to show off what they've got so far because I'm worried it will suck, I want them to show it off because I'm excited about it. In: Lobby
Thread: Western Front - lack of info?14 May 2014, 03:29 AM I've been feeling the same way for awhile now. I wish they would give us something to chew on while we wait. Maybe tell us if anyone has been notified about the alpha? I assume everyone who was going to get an alpha invite got one already, but apparently the NDA also says you can't even say whether or not you are participating in the alpha. Come on Relic, give us something! In: Lobby
