Hi all

I used to write stuff here and have since embarked on a phd journey plus a mandatory military service.

Now I am back and have some spare time in between studying and teaching sessions.

Is it worth returning to COH2 or is it dead now that COH3 is out?

BTW, I was right in everything I said about COH3 (check my post history, too bored to cite).

TY all.

3s and 4s matchmaking has taken a nosedive, but you can still get decent games often

Player count is moving between 3 and 5 thousand players

The only reason I come back to CoH 2 is because it's the only CoH with the Attrition gamemode. It's still the same as it's ever been, so if that gets you revved up and ready to play then have at it.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?..The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and... the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn't love freedom enough...We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

Not bad considering COH3's players move between 800 - 3k players.

If you are insinuating that COH3 is better, I 100% disagree. It still looks like a mobile game port to PC to me.

That said, I was more likely asking if COH2's 1v1 and 2v2 gamemodes are still alive.

As far as 1v1s and 2v2s, those are the gamemodes that are actually a fairly good experience compared t 3v3 and 4v4 (at least from what I've heard), so expect less players that you're used to there.

Yep, agreed.

Have played about 10 2v2s as of now, and wait time for queuing is less than one minute, so it's fine.

Absolutley, COH2 2v2 is alive and well.

COH2 just seems livlier, faster paced, yet longer and closer fought matches.

COH3 feels like it will never achive that feeling.
