Like others have said, you want to pick up DOW2 with Elite mod. COH2 is just dow2 gameplay mechanics with WW2 re-skin. It has very little to do with actual combat.
I agree that FRPs should be removed and all factions should get halftracks for transportation. It would encourage active management and spearheading assaults, rather than the current state of blobbing and the nullification of suppression.
I know this is reviving a necro-thread, but it needs to be brought up now that other features have been worked on and the "roadmap" is further along.
I think that non-linear tech choices are the obvious next step for balance design for COH2. What are everyone's thoughts a year on and has your perspective changed?
Man Inverse, if you only highlighted and saved that one twitch broadcast you talked about this in length. You nailed it down perfectly why linear teching is a terrible idea for RTS's in general.
Would have loved to have heard his thoughts in detail. I remember Inverse posting about non-linear tech at least a year ago and why COH2 needs it. It is by far the best idea to come out of this community.
Give factions proper, meaningful, fuel-expensive global upgrades. 90% of the game's shitty teching problems come directly from its lack of proper global upgrades.
Yes, we need this. The community wants more interesting global upgrades.
Yeah this change completely broke pathfinding - to make matters worse, if you issue an attack move the unit reverses to the location more often than not.
The bands have a lot of green and red in them, towards the outside of the image. They weren't in the original screenshot, rather it was a product of editing. The vignette is the darkening around the edges, it's used to focus attention on the subject of the image or to make it look like the image is an old photograph. Someone tried to do it and created horrible streaks and banding. It's possible that they then changed the colors of the image overall, like bumped up the saturation or something, thus bringing out the additional red and green streaks. As the first screen you see booting up in the game, it needs to be fixed.
