Personally, I've encountered similar scenarios as that video depicts and I think that is bad gameplay. If a support weapon like the MG42 or Maxim is caught off guard then it should be punished. The amount of micro needed to take that MG out is no where equivilant to the micro needed by the MG player since attack move is the only order needed to cause your MG to continuously face.

This is something we are investigating, but unfortunately it's a fairly complex issue with no easy solution. Our goal is to find the best solution, not the quickest one.

I will try to keep you all updated as we explore the problem further.

Edit: grammar

I don't remember vCoH offering you vision and bombing run in one nice package.

• What do you consider to be competitive gaming?
  It takes a few things which include a game that is properly balanced, a decent amount of active community members and players who are committed to give the game time and develop their ability.
  
  
  
• What games have you considered to have played competitively? How involved did you get? How was your performance in these games?
  I played competitively in Age of Empires 3. I came late to the game however and missed many of the 'big' tournaments, however felt satisfaction in beating players that took part in the World Cyber Games (WCG). I never played in a tournament, however gave many big name players upsets and was a competative/respected player.
  
  
  
• For games you don't play do you watch any vods or streams? If so which games?
  Occasionally I will watch a game which I don't play. However I never watch the player streams, only VoD's or streams which have commentary overhead.
  
  
  
• Have you ever been to an offline or in person competitive event?
  Never for gaming, no.
  
  
  
• What do you believe makes a game competitive?
  It takes a few things which include a game that is properly balanced, a decent amount of active community members (viewers, participants and hosts) and players who are committed to give the game time and develop their ability. Money/prizes is not always a factor, it sometimes attracts more people however good community/competition will always pull a crowd.
  
  
  
  
• Have you produced any content or organised any competitive events for any games? If not are you interested?
  I stream CoH, however I did used to make tutorial videos for other games prior to CoH. I have never organized an event and actually lack organizational skills. I think I am to flexible with people and don't forcefully enforce set rules well enough. I think this essential to ensure things run smoothly.
  
  
• Who do you believe is instrumental in building a strong competitive community?
  The community itself. One person can not do it alone. It is symbiotic relationship than involves everyone from casters, viewers, streamers, forum staff, forum readers and ultimately the players. The developer plays a factor aswell to and if things go really well, even external sponsors.
