With that said, we don't have to rewrite history either to appease today's social standards, something balanced would be nice.
Edit: Just to expand a little. You want to portray a female fighter? Why not just go to the history books where there are numerous examples of female resistance fighters. Why not incorporate something historical when you have the easy opportunity. Instead we get a glimpse of a 'British' infantry section, lead by carmen sandiego with sunglasses and a cyborg arm, some rando black dude, Willy Wallace in his wife beater and fixed bayonet, and GI Jimmy with every attachment and piece of equipment ever created for the war. Not ONE of these British infantry even wear the iconic Brodie helm, or any helmet at all for that matter.
I don't think it has much to do with PC culture and more to do with the business model. They are trying to copy the RB6/Fortnite route of free DLC with a shit ton of paid cosmetics. Somewhere along the lines they made a business decision to offer a ton of character customization, it makes sense that a girl gamer will be more willing to spend money customizing female characters. If they did your idea of including diversity by using the appropriate battles, they would have to sacrifice including more interesting battles. Plus if I was a girl and I paid a lot of money to pimp out my girl character and I could only use her fighting for the French resistance on 1-2 maps, that would be a bad deal. The trailer focused so hard on the prosthetic arm, and the goggles, and the face paint, and the horse statue, etc. because the trailer was 30% teasing gameplay and 70% teasing custom characters.
If they ruin history in the campaign then get your pitchforks, but this seems like the new normal for multiplayer in big titles. Ironically I think capitalism did what the radical SJWs couldn't, but on the bright side we aren't going to have any more paid map packs.
Sorry for directly restreaming their footage, tripled down on parallel broadcasting their tourney games w/o permission. Third times a charm? Hans its not that doing that is absolutely illegal...it might be, nobody here really knows. Its the fact that its wrong for you to make money from their tournament that they set up without their permission. You're doing something that is obviously ethically wrong because you know some guys won't sic a legal team on you over a pretty small tourney. If you pulled this during OCF Ami would hit you with cease and desist letters.
And no this isn't just a bash Hans bandwagon, I remember saying certain people should be banned several years ago when they were harassing you in game 24/7.
Hans you're dead wrong. Should the stream be rebroadcast? Absolutely no. You shouldn't have done it even if you loaded the replay up on your own machine. They organized the tourney, its their games. Legally you're most likely off the hook because I doubt they trademarked the event or whatever they needed to do in order to truly own the content in the eyes of a court. That said, its just common sense that whoever goes through the bulk of the trouble to make it happen should reap the rewards. So even if they have no legal recourse here, which is probably the case, what you did is still the equivalent of stealing an invention from a friend because he didn't get the patent yet. That you stream all day for a job doesn't matter whatsoever, nor does the fact that you think you did them a favor. They asked you to stop, so don't do it. If you youtubed a cast the next day they probably wouldn't care at all, but its just common sense not to steal viewers from an event ran by other people, especially when its run by people you are supposedly friends with. Are you completely unfamiliar with how broadcast rights work in the sports world? This shouldn't need to be explained.
Lol Hans are you seriously doubling down? This is pretty indefensible even if you weren't restreaming their broadcast, since they went through the trouble to set up the event. I can't just go to a sporting event and restream the match live on youtube, they own not only the the official broadcast but the actual rights to broadcast the game. For future reference you guys should look in to legal side of this to see what is necessary to trademark the entire event (if you don't already), broadcast and all.
This looks like a combination of MoW and CoH if you neglected the best parts about both games. Looks like a pure tactics game without the 4D chess of CoH and without the complexity/realism of MoW. 4D tic tac toe seems like a fitting description of this game.
There is no reason to take this information away from the player. That only seeks to make the game more difficult to get into for no reason. Because you want to force players to come to some obscure forum to learn the unit stats? They are there for the same reason the game has tooltips on veterancy. This is not an example of dumbing the game down, it's an example of good ui.
Most strategy games don't show attack ranges. I think MOBAS might show the range for abilities as does COH2, and SDN44 has a manual LOS tool that measures distance. No game holds hands as far to passively show a UI arc for standard attack range for every single unit. Its not really a matter of inadequate UI and more of a just familiarize yourself with basic mechanics issue.
You don't need to study up on forums to memorize unit stats, if I've ever read any it was because I stumbled it across it by coincidence. It was more worthwhile in COH1 to learn which weapons did more damage to different soldier armor classes, but that's not even a thing in COH2. Its actually less time consuming to learn stuff through playing than studying up on and remembering details for like 80+ units. All you do is figure out which things fire far, put them behind your other units and attack move. That's all there is to it, not too much to ask a newcomer to learn. If the game must show you everything what's next, an alert to show you when your infantry are fighting superior infantry? Learning stuff like this through trial and error is just a part of every game worth playing.
The T-34 was build in factories that produced tractors and was design to be used by farmers. Yet as vehicle it was superior to the Sherman.
Soviet simply lacked the technology to produce high quality optics.
Well not really an even comparison because one was designed to be a main battle tank and one was designed to be infantry support and had variants that were better for fighting tanks.
From a military history class from an US university. Winners write the history books.
You literally said "USF" in a historical context, your WW2 history is limited to PC games made by Relic and Goebbels propaganda reels. Also liberal arts departments at US universities are notorious for anti-patriotism, that's 100x less controversial than all the other uncontroversial things I've said.
Well researched answers? So saying: "Allied tank crews were better than German tank crews" is a well researched statement now? HAHAHAHA.....you gotta be fucking kidding
And yes Americans are brainwashed regarding WW2. In that regard they are indeed ignorant and stupid.
You went from possibly misinterpreting what I said to purposely lying about it. I never said all the German tank crews sucked, I never said all the allied tank crews were better. All I've said is that there's been some exaggeration about some of the panzer legends, and that their new recruits were undertrained. Neither of those things is controversial outside of the small circles of online Wehraboos that heil hitler when they wake up in the morning.
The USF is and always will be a laughing stock of an army.
Bahhahahahahahaha, now its starting to make sense. The "USF." That's the name of a videogame faction, nobody outside of the COH2 community refers to the US Army in WW2 as the "USF." Everything I've said in this thread comes from university military history class, Story of the Bulge (John Toland), and an article I stumbled across online a while back (can't find it now) talking about blunders made by "expert" German tank crews. Your entire context for understanding WW2 and German tank crews seems to be confined to the COH1 campaign and the P2W Tiger Ace.
