I've been playin that game since beta kid, it have never been balanced in 3vs3,4vs4 + format.Axis is far easier to play then Allied and a lot of fun to play with. They have all the nice toys.
Americans are most boring faction and nearly useless on large map, maybe airborne in 4vs4).
Russian and UK are kind of cool and fun. but they don't Axis synergy.
Allies need voice chat to be on the same level of synergy. That's the bug. |
After some tests: Axis still a lot easier to play. 4vs4 arty fest all the time... Boring. Coh2 mortars are ok but rest of arty units have too much impact on the game without an once of strategy.
American faction still borked :
The inf.squads with bar were nerfed, but they were made to replace the HMGs that USA don't have....custom. So in team game that factor alone make them really less appealing.
USA are «still» very very nboring too play.
Its an old game but a real good one, please balance it at last.
Stop being overcautious and make changes that have a real impact on balance.
We all know what to do just do it.
Thanks.
No bait here.
Open source it Relic if you can't make it great ! This game has so much potential. |
Still the best and a lot more fun of all the COH opus ! |
First comments on the patch:
Good first impression;
New depth;
In 2vs2 : Double OKWs are the best and still a bit too strong.
In 4vs4 : Same has above with 4 OkWs in a team.
Allies light vehicle play is overpowered by Axis AT options.
Sovs conscrits still lack durability.
Ifra red truck + walking stukas still too good.
USA need a jeep to compensate all nerfs.
Overall a very good job thanks ! |
Some grenades can't be dodged, no matter how fast you push the retreat button.
2 fresh inf. squads wiped in 2 separated event even if i pushed the retreat.
The guys did start to retreat but the blast wiped them.
If mines and demos nerf were quality of life changes, maybe no skill grenades must be looked at ?
How can 2 units walked right into a stolen mg42 arc (best mg) and killed a tank that was a tank length behind the mg42 then safely retreat ?
Bugs ? or balance ?
P.S.: I got the replay. |
Normally off map arty don't work in base sector anymore now.
Welcome back, we have done the same !
Cheers ! |
Speaking for 3vs3 and 4vs4 game format only.
I'm sad for you, but I disagree completely.
All games were always the same with OkW using all the same units over and over.
Without this patch neither me or any of my friends would have return to the game.
Now The game feel new and balanced and we now must all adapt.
The good players will still be on top regardless of faction they play and the casual like me will at least have some fun.
Think this game as a new one and play without looking back. I'm sure you will return to success.
I've have watched 10 high ranked matches post patch with Axis winning half of them. yep it feel a bit harder then usual for the Axis and it's fine cause before the patch they would have would 75% of the matches.
If after some time, If the metrics show that the Axis are in the hole too much, well some adjustments will have to be made to rectify it. And so on.
Those changes were needed.
The mod team did a tremendous job and i think them for that.
Don't let comments like that touch you. The great majority of players are with you.
What i would like this game to have is 2 simple things :
1) In game automatic voice communications with options to mute teammates like all modern game have.
2) Automatic Drop penalty for the first player who drop on one side.( first who drop for Axis and first who drop for Allies) 3 minutes delay in automatching for first offence, 7 min for the second and 15 min for the third. All reset after an hour without dropping. (for automatches only).
Other players who quit after the first one don't have a penalty. (just surrender that's the way to do it)
Dropping (technical failure or intentional dropping) kill the game.

Thx modders & Relic for the patch !!!!
Lets play ! |
My guess is patch hitting the 20 dec (2017 lol).
What's yours ?
Gratz and thanks to all Coh2 fanboys !!!! |
People don't get it yet, we will will have a fresh new COH2 to play with !!!
It's marvelous ! No more of the same old stale meta !!!
Add a ladder reset and it's Christmas day !!! (Dreaming still not a sin)
Thanks to Relics and the modders !!!
P.S There is not many games that permit it's community to have a saying in the matter of tuning... just that is already great.
Adapting is new the meta ! |
