There is a lot of heat in this thread, and I guess my answer will be just washed away by the sheer amount of replys.
I'm gonna post anyway, actually I just registered on this board to write this:

As long as the new commanders are balanced this has nothing to do with "P2W". This is just "pay to do something different", and that is totally fine.
It is true that the new commanders are not completely balanced. But what did you expect when they add something new to the metagame?

A patch will come out in some days or few weeks and will address all issues. I find this hostility so boring. I love the idea of new content. New commanders as DLC bringing new units and new strategies to the table is awesome, and I am more than fine to pay for that.


And if I am fine with the possibilities the game offers with it's 20 commanders distributed on two factions then I don't buy the new ones. Where is the problem with that?
It's not like the new German commander is the exclusive counter to the new Soviet commander (or vice versa).

edit:
and I hope that future updates will bring more new units as DLC, and I am totally fine to pay for relic's development time required to deliver that.

Unfortunately for many guys here who played VCOH, you got glimpse of it in COH2, we know very well how this game works.
New units/commanders thrown into the game without/much of testing = balancing problems, patches, etc.

It took months and months to balance game after ToV, now we will regularly be getting new commanders/new units.

Sorry, its not about money or not liking to have new units, but I don't want to play the game that will constantly be in "balancing stage'

Also, I payed AU $120.00 pre-order for COH2 just about first few days it was available., Because I knew that THQ and Relic were in trouble. I never even looked at difference between Standard and collectors edition.
I know that a lot of my 'friends' from VCOH did the same thing for the same reason, to help Relic make great game again.

Unfortunately, I feel that with Sega making decisions now emphasis is on making money and catering for campaign players and P2W or Pay for fun. Which is fine, but it kills multyplayer game.

My preorder stated: Featuring the great competitive and co-operative multiplayer that fans have grown to 'EXPECT from this high-quality and critically acclaimed franchise

I certainly didn't expect game without Chat/Lobby/custom annihilate/game that kinda starts to resemble facebook game.

I hope I am wrong, but I think that COH2 will turn out to be exact opposite to everything that made COH great

If I recall, this was a very similar discussion that took place when all the other new commanders came around. Even though those one didn't introduce new units I still found the free ones to be just as good or if not better in most situations. Give it time.

I don't think, that many people would be upset if it stays like that. But, I feel that a lot of people have a concern that Relic (under SEGA) will turn into 'pay to win' game maker. That new commanders will be increasingly OP and will be only playable with other pay for DLC commanders........ (that is the best business model, and SEGA is big and successful business with executives that couldn't care less for gameplay and balance, like so many other big producers)

Little bit of topic: Anyone knows how many commanders there are in the game atm? I think I have about 14 or so....

Not me, just about losing last bits of fate for this game

Who cares if some idiot wastes an MG in a building for 10mins.
Just saying. Chill out.

Sniper isn't, nor should be, an automatic building counter.

You really have to play a game or two, to understand what I am talking about...

Its not some idiot, but everyone.. (in 2v2 and up) Full noobs are the only ones that don't do it...

I have the opposite oppinion. Unlike coh1 which had its doctrines set up a bit like sub-factions, this game's doctrines are much more homogeneus. This usually ends up making it impossible to predict you opponents doctrine choice and you end up having to prepare for everything. The same is true that many of the doctrines play similarly and don't give enough benefits for fighting a certain way.

The sooner we get more factions, the faster we can get a bit more veriety in the way that we play.

I am sorry, but how exactly does it impact you what other person is choosing as doctrine?

What exactly do you have to be prepared for?

as far as I am concerned, there is very little difference between commanders. And you play against one commander, the same way you would against any other commander. More or less..........

You pretty much know how the game will develop for first 20 min, and most of the unit builds. I cannot possibly imagine what do you find impossible to predict.
