If you think that lobbying for an observer mode and a better replay system so that we can stream and commentate on the game easier and in turn help grow the player base killed CoH2 then more power to you. Both of which might I add we haven't seen a sniff of so we are just as disappointed as you are.
However please continue to believe that people like myself and other "leet gamors" fucked the game over for you.
Dude, your overly-defensive butt-hurt doesn't make it any less true. The overly-cosy relationship between this forum and Relic has seen lots of features like Twitch implemented but nothing as fundamental as a basic game lobby. A feature that grows and feeds the casual player base and eventually translates into more competitive gamers.
Seriously. If you
honestly think that's less important than an observer mode then we might as well not bother having this conversation.
Please look at my posting history. I'm not anti-elite or competitive gaming. But there needs to be some sort of acknowledgement that the influence of a tiny part of the community might have led to the ball being dropped on the bread-and-butter features this game badly needs.
As for Maj. Bloodknok... I agree that the game channels were a disgrace. I'm not bothered about them, personally, but a custom game lobby is a deal-breaker. We've all been patient about waiting to see about custom lobbies buT Relic is more interested in DLC.
