omfg, mumble too?! :-D vent, mumble... why not teamspeak? so much easier/better :-P
but after all, it's your choice, so idc... ;-) |
It would completely eliminate the archaic "BO3s and deciding factions by VP count" system that plagued CoH tournaments. Under that system matches could be incredibly unbalanced if you were on a map that's particularly good for one faction, yet awful for another. Getting rid of that would be a huge push in the right direction for the tournament/e-sports scene.
thats wher you are wrong... mirror matches just introduce more opportunities for lopsided matches |
triple chalupa wire anyone? |
it's spelled TROLL barton, not FAN.... T-R-O-L-L....
learning english at least, ffs.... |
pretty much what budwise said... 3770k or 3570k should be best processors (cooler: get a good tower cooler with a decent fan... there should be lots of tests for that on google), RAM is so cheap ATM, better get 16GB. Motherboard... meh, i dont really care, get whatever you think is worth it and fits your needs (and other components ;-)). Graphics card: probably something along the lines of a gtx 680 or ati hd 78xx/79xx (i've had a Asus HD6870 DirectCU for a while, pretty silent... maybe theres new DirectCU models?). i'd generally always suggest against getting SLI/crossfire, never worth it imho. |
same damage, same AOE... PE mortar has a little more scatter (so probably slightly less accurate) |
he said it would be interesting and that it was impossible to say anything definitive about mirror matchups in CoH2 without discussing gameplay (which CoH2 Alpha ppl are not allowed to, and others haven't experienced yet). |
problem is: just think of the brit/wehr matchup in vCoH... you might get the same situation in mirror matchups where theres 1 strat that both players opt for, since if you don't use that strat, you are almost certain to lose... now if you want to change something about that, you will invariably influence the non-mirror matchups.
also: maps might be favoring certain starting position way more heavily in mirror matchups.
about the sales.... i don't think mirror matchups will influence sales a whole lot in either direction. at least not as much as other parts/aspects of the game might. |
why no mirror matchups? simple: balance... try balancing all the factions not only against each other, but also against themselves.
also: mirror matchups like in SC:BW and SC2 are usually the most boring/annoying matchups possible.
but if mirror matchups are standard for coh2, that will certainly not be a reason for me not to get it. being a unbalanced piece of animal excrement might sway me though ;-)
oh, and btw: i love the ability to have mirror matchups for skirmishes, and would have loved that for vCoH too... just to mess around with it. |
Against it for automatch... fine for skirmish. |
