But seriously all it takes is a few good patches to fix flanking and all the more tactical related issues with the game. However the strategical problems are whats really holding the game back, and likely will never be addressed.
The game is dead, thats why they left. Its extremely ignorant when you, Noun, Ipkai, or anyone else try to put the blame on the CoH1 community for the games downfall because somehow we didn't support it enough. There were far too many tournaments to count years after release, tons of streamers/casters, new mods/maps, a flourishing fansite, SNF, and most importantly Tommy and Kolaris even made a patch for Relic that both improved the meta and solved a few of the bugs that were plaguing the game (Stags, M10 missfire, etc). And Relic basically said fuck you we aren't supporting this game anymore. There is no where else for that game to go in its current state of stale meta, game breaking bugs, lack of new maps in map pool, etc.
This isn't just a CoH2 fansite, fyi.
I'm not putting the blame on anyone Basilone. Just try and comprehend written texts better before you decide to reply on them please.
