No trolling here. I'm a COH2 noob, and I never played COH. The game comes with no documentation, nor a link to a PDF, outlining things like unit costs and keyboard hot keys. (The Prima e-guide has tiny charts with the keys, but even so it is of limited utility.)
So, I was mightily confused on how to aim HMGs and AT guns. I now know the required click-n-hold-n-drag-n-sweep-n-unclick mechanic. But it is not intuitive for a new player.
Thanks to all who replied! |
This isn't SimCity. COH2 actually works "out of the box". So, it could be worse. Besides, you had the opportunity to try it out in beta.
My only complaint is the lack of a game manual, printed or PDF. (The Prima on-line guide isn't worth the whole $20 they charge.) |
Thanks for the info. I'm getting used to it now. Still a bit wonky, though, as long key presses don't always bring up the arc. Probably because I right click to move, release, then re-click/hold.
I'll probably run some AI team games, and concentrate on perfecting arc pop-ups with
HMG and AT guns.
See you on the battlefield.... |
I am having trouble aligning the firing arcs of HMGs and AT guns. Occasionally, clicking around and maybe holding a keyboard key down will get me the arc. But that's rare. And the (lack of a comprehensive) manual is a real pain. Even the online Prima guide doesn't explain this.
(I don't have any problems with aligning new bunkers with pioneers.)
Thanks! |
