yeah i'd recommend waiting until the game isn't in a sloppy situation. I'd wait for a "COH GOLD" to be released including the (hopefully) all the DLCs, and factions that way you wont have to waste your time buying specific commanders for a single patch.

So you are saying he should wait years before getting the game?

@cataclaw I used to be an advocate for 'getting the game as soon as possible' but at this point since the new factions will be released soon; better to wait

Its not like he would want to get CoH2 to play americans vs wehrmacht on western maps all over again.
And your 'soon' is still a couple of months.
Yes, it is a good time to get the game right now before it will be torn apart OF style and will loose its immersion.

You really want more DLC commanders? Pay2Win commanders is the single most complained about thing in this game by newbies and potential buyers. Whether it is true or not that they are P2W, the DLC commanders have greatly hurt the game's reputation and have continually upset balance with each release (even if they are balanced later on).

Yes, because I'm a diversity nut.
In mmos I can't play too long on main character, in shooters I frequently change my role, in rts I use various strats because it literally pains me if I need to repeat one over and over, so BALANCED DLC commanders are welcome.

You can call them P2W, but as you have seen with ET and SI, everything will be balanced at the end and since I'm planning on spending good few years with CoH2, I'm not going butthurt over something being too strong/too weak for some time, I'll simply adapt.

If commanders are balanced, relic can feel free to release as many as they can come up with, I'll get what I like and pass on the rest. The group that complained most about them were the idiots who thought they need to have all of them asap to stay competitive, ignoring the fact that default ones are still best ones.

There were mistakes with balance, but that got sorted and we can hope for new, balanced commanders in the future.
And if you complain about commander DLCs breaking the balance temporarily, then you should go batshit crazy over the new factions being added, because that will break the balance more then any commander so far and for much longer, see that current two factions are starting to get pretty balanced after 9 months, imagine what will happen if you throw 2 more into the mix. It will be OF all over again.

I agree completely with OP. If you know the feeling of online play with SC2 you know it is possible to have better responsiveness with online gaming. Battleservers are great but I think the connection could be better. (eu player)

Well, with the kind of money blizzard has they can allow themselves to put cluster servers basically wherever they want as well as cut the huge playerbase in regions.

Everyone says "blizzard this, starcraft that", but remind me of any other RTS game made by another company who was going as smooth as SC or WC3.

When dodging nades your models must be moving instantly when clicking. Now it is not.

Only matter of awareness. If you expect to dodge nades when they are on their way, have fun.
But we have something like nade warnings the moment the animation for them starts to compensate for little latency.

Try playing in Australia with 200 ping for everywhere else as standard...

While its not really your fault for living in mexico of earth, there are australian players, like Stephen who do not have such problems, so its also a case of your own localization.

Of course you will have higher ping if you decide to live in the middle of nowhere.

So you would disagree that soviets have a potentiall capping advantage early game?

What advantage you're talking about?
The 10 second difference between first con and first gren?

Thats not really an advantage at all. You'll be 1 sector ahead and that won't change anything, cons are likely to get pushed back after first engagement now by basically anything german makes except osttruppen.
