Thread: CoH2 DLC Prices Revealed25 Jun 2013, 13:18 PM I'm surprised by how conservative some people are around here. To me: - There is nothing wrong with digital (Less plastic stuff to be thrown in the garbage in a few years, less money going to big distributors and more money directly to the devs.). - Nothing wrong with pre-orders (Many of the people who complain about big publishers such as ''EA'' will also complain about pre-orders; which is contradicting considering how this is all about giving money to the devs for a product that you want even though it is not finished. Devs don't have much money of their own, it allows us the players to become the ''publisher'' and to have an influence on how they will be making the game. - Nothing inherently wrong with the idea of DLCs (They are optional and they are a great way of keeping work on a game even though it has been released. No more waiting for a new expansion a year later or for a sequel, a game can now have a much longer life of its own with constant addition, and devs can make much more money out of it to afford to keep people working on it. Only a few of these skins/commanders are interesting to me so I might end up dropping a few more dollars if I feel the game is good enough to deserve more money. And I hope they will release more skins that will fit what I want (I personally want some old and rusty urban looking soviet tanks!). This does not seem to me like the definition of ''Pay to win'', if you could buy bulletins to boost your troops and such... Then it would be terrible, but if the commanders are balanced, then it is just paying for more options. Those who do not like the idea of a DLC can obviously voice their opinion by not spending money on them In: Lobby
Thread: Hit the dirt!29 Apr 2013, 00:17 AM I find that a lot of people make the mistake of sticking to close range when fighting my conscript who hit the dirt. Conscript with SGMs and hit the dirt get murdered by Grens with LMGs if at decent range, and it can be hard to toggle off and on again due to the ability cooldown. So maybe a slightly longer cooldown between the use of HTD might help staying away from the conscripts? On a second note, I was personnaly under the impression that Conscripts who hit the dirt were much more vulnerable to flame, mortars and nades... Just as if they were in cover. Isn't that correct?

CoH3 then? In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 expansion ideas22 Apr 2013, 15:02 PM Jump back to quoted post22 Apr 2013, 14:07 PMGeneralHell If they make an expansion pack/DLC whatever they wanna call it. I think it will be about the Ardennes Offensive Dec. 44/Jan.45 . Re-introducing the Americans and the Wehrmacht from vCoH. In a setting where they can use the new cold tech. Ardennes is a cool setting, I'd be down for that. Though original Wehrmacht plus Ostheer in the same game seems like it could be redundant. In: Lobby
Thread: CoH2 expansion ideas22 Apr 2013, 13:59 PM Fully aware of how early it is to discuss expansions (Though also aware that video game companies plan for these things very early on.), I would like to know what you guys think could be good for a major addition to the core game in the far future. On my end, I like how they went for a main theme (Cold of eastern front) to add to the already excellent core game play of CoH1 and would like them to keep going with the same mentality. The cold mechanic is amazing and could easily be modified to represent intense heat in the desert (with sand storms?) or the danger of the climate in the pacific. With that in mind, I would love a first expansion to cover the war in the pacific, introducing the Imperial Japanese army VS the US marine corp factions (Don't quote me on these titles, I am no WWII history buff.). Main new features (Also usable by the core game Russian and German factions.): - Close combat & Charges: Any non-support unit would be able to charge the enemy, taking significantly more damage from bullets in the process (And still affected by suppression.) to engage in close combat. The maneuver should be very risky and taxing for the charging unit, and only be used to flank and temporarily disable strong ranged units such as MGs while other troops are moving forward. Elite units (and some special doctrine units) would be superior to conscripts and the like in melee, and Veterancy would add bonuses as well. - A new campaign opposing the new factions! New factions: US marine corp: very similar to the CoH1 US army with doctrines often based on naval support for artillery and such. Not much to say there! Imperial Japanese Army: A good way of introducing melee combat with doctrines that provide melee damage boost for a brief time when coming out of Camouflage. Army that relies a lot on ambushes with more ''exotic'' traps instead of the classic CoH mines. Now lets hear your ideas! PS: Any comments on how useless this discussion is will be disregarded. This is purely for fun. Any comments on my lack of historical knowledge related to the ideas I brought will be appreciated, but please keep it polite In: Lobby
Thread: Worth of Sniper?18 Apr 2013, 13:16 PM I'm not sure if they are worth their price if you do not plan to put the infantry building to other use. But I've found that my snipers always end up with minimum 20 kills in a game (And sometimes well over 30.) which is a very good pay off. I honestly often do not even notice them making all these kills and they end up being much more effective than I think they are while playing. I just keep them around my infantry but in out-of-the-road covers where enemies have little chances of going randomly, and I change their location very often as soon as the action goes down a bit or things get too risky. The flare ability can be very useful too, especially in blizzard (Though it is a bit expensive.). Having the sniper around the middle of the map also allows you to just harass and weaken any units that tries to cap important points. Last point would be that they are pretty expensive and losing a sniper who did not pay himself off is a big deal. Also their reload rate seem to become much better with veterancy so... RETREAT RETREAT RETREAT! Note that I only play single player and mostly as the Russians. In: COH2 Gameplay
