The one thing that prevents COH 2 from being great... the last patch. The turn to new infantery system was to radical and unbalanced the whole game... there is no more room for casual players in the automatch. You witness appalling handling of the units. German soldiers suicide attacking KV 8. Players sleeping on the field of battle and collecting panthers until the game is lost... my precious...lol. Point taken that is not the fault of the game architecture. Is the matching system broken? Players using no cover... Its no fun loosing this way.
Great idea... another idea take the armor away so the tiger and the soviet heavies have to swing from cover to cover...that would be a sight. No please no limitation of heavy tanks. Not again a major change of CoH 2 game. I am still recovering from the cover-and-microing-frenzy.
Two days ago in a 4vs 4 game we poor Towaritschi were slaughtered by a passing by of five 222 driving along a frozen river bank. My two Zis ( the only two on the soviet side... sic...) could not follow fast enough and not a single 222 fell victim to my brave zis crews... it was impressive to see how they slaughtered the whole bunch of footsoldiers placed along the riverbank... and when it was over... it was over .
Well everything is ok. If you want to play germans only in future. At the moment as casual player with the notion to have a relaxing game after work you are out of your mind if you play soviet. If you have someone in your team with mediocre knowledge of cover and microing you will have your kamikazee trip in no time and this sucks... not loosing per se.
I think this game needs more people than the top 1000 players to have a future.
Hmmm so CoH reloaded . Funny I already feel the urge to open my money purse. I wonder if this step will not hinder the balancing of the future game flow.
Well I am forward sandbagging now. I feel like a mole... .
Please make some further ajustments... a little bit of buff perhaps for the conscripts. Thanks for the hint that as a soviet player one must learn to play the game. Only problem is... when you have only a fork and some tells you to use the fork and knife... . But I have faith in relic.
Well written. Please change back to the Aftermath patch. The game flow was great and it was fun to play. Now I feel like Tarzan swinging from cover to cover and it feels static, where is the drive?
Relic spent month after month to get it well balanced and woosh... its gone. I don't get it.
