Thread: Wanted: Loading screen chat30 Oct 2015, 09:59 AM I would like to see the option to chat while the map is loading. This would allow players to communicate more, and for teams to plan strategy. In pick-up games there's rarely much communication about who goes where with what. And rarely the time to discuss it in-game. I know some will say 'don't play random team games', but that's besides the point. Even in arranged team games you might not always be on Teamtalk or whatever. The point here is that the pre-game chat would improve the general quality of the games! If nothing else, this should interest Relic because player experience isn't just about in-game options, but also the play experience in total. It adds to a good play experience to be able to work out strategies pre-match. No matter how basic they might be. I realise that this may be at the expense of some extra data transfers, but really. Plain text can't take up much bandwith compared to what is allready being transferred pre-match. You might want to add a flood prevention to the chat, though. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Reasons why grenades get cancelled?30 Oct 2015, 07:26 AM Something has been annoying me for a while and I still can't quite figure out what is going on. It's an old issue that I had figured out, but forgot again during my break a year or so ago. The problem is this: I order a unit to throw a nade, continues to micro other stuff and starts wondering 'wth are they not throwing yet?' I go back, checking the unit and find that there is no cool down on the grenade although the target is in range. I.e. the nade toss was somehow cancelled. My question is: why? I can't figure out what is happening here. All I can see is that my rifle units keep ending up in dangerous positions, getting ripped apart by LMG or HMG where they should have been nading. Is there such a thing as a short-key that cancels nades? I don't use a key for the nade toss itself - I use the mouse. In: COH2 Gameplay

Thread: Moments where you Dun Goofed24 Oct 2015, 15:59 PM My classic mistake, OTOH, is to order a US vehicle forward without checking if the vehicle crew is boarded or not = vehicle crew dies in battle and free vehicle for enemy :/ In: Lobby
Thread: Moments where you Dun Goofed24 Oct 2015, 15:58 PM In the fray of the battle, I managed to mix up the short cut keys for my mortar and my tanks. Later, when I was microing in a different place of the map, I ordered my tanks forward and the mortar back. Because of my mistake, the tanks ended up idle in the back while the mortar was charging into its sure death. In: Lobby
Thread: Windows 10, anyone?24 Oct 2015, 15:52 PM I deliberately delayed my decision on this. Sort of hoping for you guys to step on all the mines for me W10 has been on for about 3 months now. Still good? Still no further problems for COH2? (than the few mentioned in above posts). In: Hardware and Tech

Thread: Hull Down14 Oct 2015, 17:00 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2015, 12:38 PMJohnnyB Though it looks nice on paper, practically the hulling down thing is not such a big deal. Entrench a tank and it will be eventualy killed by AT guns because he can't effectively retaliate especially if it's a panther. And even if the ATs would be killed too, the trade off is in ATs favor. Coh2 victory means fast, mobile, strong units not emplacements and trenches. This plus the fact that dug in tanks are sitting ducks. With all the ranged weapons in the game, the dug in positions quickly become swarmed by artillery. Stationary targets are just units waiting to die in mid- to late game. In: COH2 Gameplay
