Just out of curiosity, how much you have actually played coh1?
Well, I am in a position to make the comparison and he's right. All these fools with their rose-tinted john lennon glasses on I swear. The fact that maxim spam is playable (and according to some people even OP) proves his point, there are way more viable builds. You can go t0 conscript spam, you can go t1, you can go t2, you can do both if you want. In vCoH you couldn't start out with WSC unless your opponent sucked, and you built t1 only for the sniper and only after 3 rifles or very late game.
@Porygon: Yes, because you can attack move to the edge of a point and cap it without the enemy knowing whats there, and get a free retreat on a conscript. Ofc you cant do it in the mid or late game with vehicles around, but you couldn't do it at all in vCoH. The fact that you nit-picked that instead of responding to the meat of the post makes me think you agree with me otherwise, so I'm glad we understand each other.
