Because despite what you may think, CoH1 Lobbies are another actually just as half-assed and deceptively unintuitive, and it also helped contribute to the downfall of that game.
yup, that game died in like 6 months because to many casual players were stuck in lobbies waiting for a games to fill. As a result all hardcore fans quit playing COH because they couldn't stand waiting for 3 minutes for a 1v1 game.
Damn stupid casual players that would wait for 20-30 minutes to have a game mode they prefer. Whats even worse is that they could actually learn a thing or two by playing 1v1 automatch vs pro players, only if they were not so stupid and scared of playing vs my greatness.
Instead they just whinge and complain about noob mode and.... Wait what, Relic nerfed T70???? this games is shit. What were they thinking, everything is OP now. The game is UNPLAYABLE!!!!! Wake up relic
Thats what 'Pro' vs 'Casual' COH player debate sounds to me.......

Like to exaggerate, do we?
If tousands have quit because of no annihilation automatch, then probably still millions play VP games.
nope... Thousands of posts, threads and complains to Relic. People asking for their money back, etc
VS
Katitiof's conspiracy theory of 10 people
Furthermore, most of COH2 players play skirmish and none of them couldn't care less that you feel better then them because you play 1v1; 2v2 or clarinet, I would presume.
Myself included

That doesn't change anything. Why aren't players given a choice?
Here is straight answer for you: Thousands of players have quit playing COH2, there were petitions, thousands of threads and posts complaining about this.
Why? Someone @ Relic decided that majority of people like automatch better, and that custom matches are bad and are hurting the player numbers. Something about team stacking and games lasting too long, therefore wait time being too long for quick automatch vs random players. (Highly disputable looking at low numbers of active automatch players) Given many have left because of other issues.
However, you are wasting your time typing threads about this issue. It is not that Relic is stupid and couldn't make the features you are talking about easier for you to use, they made them hard and frustrating deliberately so you have to move to automatch or quit playing the game. Your choice
Hope that helps |

My longest match was 3 hrs and 17 min on Montarigis and second longest one 2 hrs and 50 min on Red Ball.
I have played many games that went past 2 hrs mark
I cannot see anyone playing 7.5 hrs intense battle. Someone is bound to make a major mistake and collapse in that time. Usually around 2 hr mark it becomes very hard to keep concentration, past 3rd hr it becomes physically painful (eyes, headache, numbing arm, etc)
I would assume that it was couple of friends making their own rules and not actually trying to win the game within normal game parameters.
P.S. If you have 2 teams of very good players, it becomes incredibly hard to break one down in annihilate match. Since capturing any point is enormously difficult and every bit of the map is fought over intensely. Out-capping, flanking and build order strategy of 1v1 games was completely irrelevant in COH team games and you really needed to achieve complete collapse of one of the flanks or center. Something like in the real war. |
If you think sports can't have an element of luck, you've never played a sport competitively before. Show me one definition of sport that excludes activities with elements of randomness. You won't find one, because it's bullshit.
You are absolutely right, a lot of sports have element of luck to them.
However, you seriously need to learn to read what people write before you go on ragging attack.
here is the definition: The sport should not rely on any element of “luck”specifically integrated into the sport.
And school = sport? What? A sport is an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc. (Source).
Definition of sport by Sport Accord international organisation:
The sport proposed should include an element of competition.
The sport should not rely on any element of “luck” specifically integrated into the sport.
The sport should not be judged to pose an undue risk to the health and safety of its athletes or participants.
The sport proposed should in no way be harmful to any living creature.
The sport should not rely on equipment that is provided by a single supplier.
SportAccord uses five categories for its member federations' sports, many of which fall into more than one category:
Primarily physical (e.g. rugby or athletics)
Primarily mind (e.g. chess or go)
Primarily motorised (e.g. Formula One or powerboating)
Primarily coordination (e.g. billiards)
Primarily animal-supported (e.g. equestrianism)
Just because a term has ambiguous bounds doesn't mean anything can be applied to that term. I don't think the title of competitive gaming is important. It doesn't matter if you call it a sport, or esports, or whatever else you want to call it. It just matters that it's a legitimate competition with a level of difficulty comparable to traditional competitive activities, many of which are traditionally classified as sports.
So yeah, you can successfully argue that school is sport, since it ticks all categories and you can also successfully argue that Baseball is not a sport since tree has been killed to make a bat or that football is not a sport since it posses threat to health and safety of participants and a lot of living creatures have been killed to make a stadium.
As I said, it is a can of worms since no one can be definitively proven wrong or right on claiming something is a sport. Definition of sport is just to broad and unspecific
P.S. I have played competitive sports, and I have medals to prove it to.....

Yes Chess is a Sport, but video games are not.
Sports cannot have 'element of luck' specifically designed into them.
As most games use some sort of Randomly generated Numbers and/or use randomly generated values to determine outcome, therefore it cannot be classified as sport.
However there is no policing or punishment that enforces or prohibits someone calling themselves sportsman or referring to the video game as sport.
As such its a can or worms and no one can be right or wrong, the parameters are not defined well enough to disprove anything as sport definitively.
Things like attending school can be classified as sport, but video game cannot by parameters (because of RNG) |
Hi Parano1a, your best bet is to ask for mentor, but you are in the wrong forum for mentors to see

I never called anyone or everyone stupid.
Now, maybe it is just me, but could anyone point me to where Noun or any other official says there would be a "BIG ANNOUNCEMENT" by Noun - because all I got from the pre-SNF hype was that Noun would make some announcements.
Well there you go, that explains everything.
I am stupid, for getting my info from other peoples posts. I haven't seen any official statement, this thread was my first contact with this (miss) information.
I expected big announcement, when in fact Noun never said that. Only cool new stuff, which it is. |
its just the content in general, ToW, 2 MP maps (including mud effects).
Whats hard to understand about that?
Ummm, Big announcement... whats so hard to understand about that. You do know what big means?
There was nothing big to announce there, couple of maps and some mud. If thats the 'big announcement' when game could use a lot of features (that are standard in majority of other games) then I really have nothing else to say here. |
|
BTW Mud is pretty big thing, since it will have a lot of effect on gameplay |
