im glad arty is a piece of shit in coh2.. worst thing about vcoh was sometimes you had to dodge double arty, first offmap arty and then onmap often at the same time.. it got pretty ridiculous. Noobs with 30 apm ofcourse loved it so they could claim "I win with out-thinking my opponent, not by clicking faster".
Go play Starcraft (in Korean server) or www.clickclickclick.com, if you think your finger reflex = skill.
Arty is a counter of stonewall stalemate, in no way you can win with arty spam without strategical thinking, unless you are playing Schedt.
Anyone think Katyusha and werfer is fine in this patch are definitely high or ignorant or trolling, there is enough shoutcast by ImperialDane showing a pair of werfer shooting together into a bunch of cons, maxim and Zis, killing nobody. Even the pee shooting Puma hull MG getting more kills than the harmless firework launcher.
