It would be stupid for Relic to simply abandon support for coh2 with the War Paint thing going on, as well as the ESL tournaments (so far scheduled until 5 March). If they end support this summer... 3 months, 6 at most after ESL. Stormless had almost 2,000 viewers I believe, today when they were streaming the January monthly finals.
There's a lot of single player content Relic can put out with relatively little post-launch support necessary. ToW only goes until 1943, there's no British single-player, and they could always come out with some German campaign.
They can always release new skins for $$ too.
The more content they release, the more $$ they'll make. If they put out another faction...they could try but I don't know what they'll do, in all honesty.
Relic is certainly trying to grow the community. They're certainly trying and the playerbase is steadily growing with time, exposure, and more content. Opening up skins, mod tools, etc. really has helped as well!
CoH1 was supported for a veeeery long time and they even moved the servers over to Steam and it still has online support. No reason that coh2 won't lose, at least, online services for a long, long time.
The reason why there's "heat-seeking" rockets or whatever is because the game decides what is a hit before the projectile becomes visible. That's what I assume, at least.
Yeah, ideally, you can do a lot of things before your opponent gets out a fast light vehicle, but that's always assuming you're playing against someone of equal skill level and rather equal map control.
If you're down and can't afford the muni, raktens may be your only AT or a great supplement to a single schreck
Panzergrenadiers after wiping a squad: "Der Schwanzlutscher ist kaputt." (The cocksucker is broken)
This is quite hilarious if you speak german, especially with the german accent in the english lines.
The panzergrenadiers are really damn viscous. I've heard them also say, "the Schwein are all dead!"
If anyone could take a look at this replay and see where I could've improved, that be great!
For a while I was floating manpower, not sure of what to get. I was surprised by my opponent's lack of AEC, but his overaggression with his armor proved to be his undoing.
I've noticed in several threads that there seem to be plenty of people who are looking to play games via ESL but have found that the skill level seems too high, putting players off from participating and that a better system for fair games would be a good thing.
I think we all also know that good fair balanced games is few and far between at times in the automatch. And that the in-game automatch system is lacking in a few areas. People leaving can mess up your own stats in random searches and such things.
Introducing ESL Versus I think might introduce a positive change on both improved games overall and allow people to participate in E-Sports events against players of your own caliber. A way in to your #Esports Career.
So what is Versus?
It is ESL's own integrated system for Ranked matches, and it is in use in a large number of games on ESL already. It was designed as a way to bridge the gap between "just playing" and playing in a competitive ladder.
I believe that this system can be the key to getting more people into playing #E-sports. Making sure everyone is able to compete with players of their own caliber, when they want it and more times that just that one game a week you are Roflstomped by a much higher ranked player.
It also would automate away most of the hassle of being part of a ladder. Such as trying to find your opponents for that week, trying to get a timeslot that works etc. Just jump on and have a look for some dank games!
Now how about those pesky annoying leavers, won't they still be an issue?
Well sure they will still leave/be AFK. However you can mark these people as leavers and if the remaining players in the match mark that person a "leaver" after the match, the shorthanded team will not have a decrease in points due to loosing.
Loosing a 3v3 because that one guy ran his blob of death into a Panzerwerfer strike and then rage-quitted? No problem, you won't loose score over it.
Naturally Report functions exist for other infractions as well.

So is this something the CoH2 community would be interested in having, or am I way off the mark?
