Thread: Hands on Western Fronts Armies23 Jun 2014, 10:47 AM Patton in a jeep with engie flamers at the back would be a realistic unit for coh 2 standards. Can be used like the usual soviet T1 core playstyle of m3 flamers for squad wiping. Both allied factions should be more emphasised that the right way to play is m3 flamers and try to force retreats and good tactical routes for squad wiping. In: Lobby
Thread: Beta for Western Front23 Jun 2014, 07:55 AM Jump back to quoted post23 Jun 2014, 07:05 AMTri86 yeah public as in strict NDAs and a selection process. you guys are what qduffy refer to as their "most rabid fans". i mean i like the game myself but i'm not going to defend it if it sucks. the fact that they don't want to have something as common as an open beta (which is more of a 'try before you buy' kinda thing nowadays) sends off a serious red flag. someone else mentioned that maybe it's because SEGA doesn't want to lose pre-orders - and that's exactly the point. what would cause them to worry about that? maybe the game itself isn't that good? it shows a lack of confidence in their product. I think the decision is all up to SEGA. I doubt anyone at SEGA even know what the game is like. Sounds like a corporate/publisher decision. Doesn't indicate if there's something to worry about WFA. The game release lost preorders at launch maybe due to the lack of so many normal/modern RTS features (chat rooms, custom games, leaderboards, etc.), plus the hard history of this game (THQ going bankrupt, etc.).

Thread: Random Commander Selection Option.22 Jun 2014, 10:27 AM Random armies will add value, but commanders won't. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it's a waste of time to implement. There are better things to work on for the devs. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Beta for Western Front22 Jun 2014, 10:26 AM I think SEGA might have be worried about cancelled pre-orders. Apparently it happened for the game launch (with the open beta). Doesnt matter, release in 3 days anyway. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: M3 + maxim + Sniper spam 2v2 - Early game19 Jun 2014, 10:42 AM What's retarded about the m3 is that I didn't know that flamethrowers in cars was the core of the Soviet army in WWII. It's been a viable tactic since day 1 of coh2 and it's pretty silly. Must have been a really realistic/practical and commonly used doctrine back then. In: COH2 Balance
