Thread: Ardennes Assault - Steam Preorder soon16 Oct 2014, 14:13 PM I'm sure any new units will become vailable for multiplayer in DLC commanders. Could the ability trees be new commanders under a different name for the pre-order? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Which Cherry MX switch is the best?15 Oct 2014, 19:54 PM I bought Cherry Black, this Keyboard: http://steelseries.com/products/keyboards/steelseries-6gv2 I quite like it. First Mechanical Keyboard I've owned, it's doesn't have a tactile 'click' half way down it seems, but it suits my heavy handed typing. I use it for both gaming and heavy typing when I'm doing writing and it works quite well for both. If I'm being honest though,I bought this one because it was the cheapest Mechanical Keyboard in the store, not out of any preference for black. In: Hardware and Tech
Thread: Any word from Relic?15 Oct 2014, 19:03 PM I get the feeling they are putting all their effort into Ardenne's Assault, there will probably be a huge patch that comes with the DLC, which is when we'll start hearing from them again. In: Lobby
Thread: USF officer bonuses and paratroopers15 Oct 2014, 16:32 PM Jump back to quoted post15 Oct 2014, 15:25 PMRomeo I don't see how it could be an oversight. It's not like bonuses just pop into the game on their own. Somebody had to put that there. If there's an oversight, it's that the UI gives absolutely zero indication that this is happening. So yeah, pretty weird. It seems to me like there was probably meant to be a universal buff from officers, but then they removed it and took out the status from every unit but forgot Paratroopers somehow. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: The Propagandacast.15 Oct 2014, 14:57 PM Jump back to quoted post13 Oct 2014, 20:25 PMImperial Dane And Episode 504 is up. The Monday Novice fight focuses on the more simple lessons today. And also why you don't go for two jagdpanzer IVs: Nice cast! I do want to say in my defense, I was trying something different, and wanted to see if it was viable to get some cheaper tanks out (Jagdpanzers) and then a Command Panther. As demonstrated though, it really didn't work well. Maybe (maybe) on a more open map, but certainly not on Semoisky. And I was paranoid about armour hitting the field (hence the raketens and Jagds) because most games against soviets recently have just been T1/T2 units until lots and lots of heavy call ins, and I find myself struggling against that with OKW. It's always good to get a critical eye on my games In: COH2 Shoutcasts
Thread: So, I want to watch 'Fury......'15 Oct 2014, 14:54 PM Jump back to quoted post9 Oct 2014, 15:58 PMBeltFedWombat So what do I do? Short of ringing up Brad Pitt, explaining that I have a serious man-crush on him and want a private screening somewhere with a bar? So, CoH2.org, WTF should I do? If you have a job that has casual hours try to go on a weeknight early afternoon. Failing that, go on a Saturday or Sunday morning, like 10AM or 11AM session if it's available. Just avoid Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, that's when the big crowds are. I'm still on the fence about this movie. I kinda want to see it, but not to the point where I'd rush out for it. I'm afraid it's going to be a typical hollywood action flick, but I might be surprised. Even if it's not accurate, it might be a good film. In: Scrap Yard
Thread: Best and Worst Voice Acting14 Oct 2014, 20:12 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2014, 19:15 PMNinjaWJ I feel that is immersion breaking when they use all these corny lines with crappy accents. I am playing a war game, not a goofy arcade shooter. The campaign was quite cold and gloomy, so I think they should've matched that tone with more serious dialogue. I think it actually helps the immersion. There is enough 'serious' content in there that the comedic parts feel natural and sounds like the soldiers have formed bonds and/or are letting off some steam when not in combat. Things like "PPShs have arrived! Now even Yuri can hit something!" sounds genuine to me. It's a nice counter to more serious lines when in combat, like when a T34 get's destroyed and you hear the 'Nooo- Static' In: Lobby
Thread: WW3 1945 - lets talk about USF versus SU14 Oct 2014, 19:36 PM Jump back to quoted post14 Oct 2014, 19:09 PMBeltFedWombat I don't know, haven't tried it but I imagine OKW will stomp all over the Wehr. Hmm, I don't know. Imagine the Wehr sniper wrecking OKW infantry? Grens would have an advantage over Volks in early game too... I would like to try that matchup sometime actually. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: WW3 1945 - lets talk about USF versus SU14 Oct 2014, 17:54 PM I haven't played this matchup, but I've heard it's actually very fun. Quick question, do they have special voice clips for this match? I understand that mirror matches had their own voice samples so Wermacht would talk about 'Rogue Panzer IVs' or something like that. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Best and Worst Voice Acting14 Oct 2014, 16:24 PM I really wish there was a line for G43 upgrades like the PE: "I want to hear those G43s singing!" Although I quite like the voice acting in this game, I would probably say I like the Wermacht/Ostheer the most. US is definitely my least favourite "Krauts are Sniffin' around our asses!!". I don't like the lines as much, but I do think the voice actor for the updates fits pretty well. In: Lobby
