Einstein on CoH2 balance

A manly reaction to sniperspam MVGame

@The_Riddler: Meh I'm a thoroughly average player with distinctly average rankings in both games, I pertain to be nothing more or less. Someone's skill level shouldn't hamper or improve the validity of their opinion, or their insight into the game, for which I have a decent amount - probably more than most.

My insight in the meta at this stage in CoH1's life cycle comes from watching allegedly HoF replays from 2006/2007 on GR, and discovering them to be mostly T1 spam into tanks. It takes a while for a game to mature, and the player base to adapt when its has as much depth as CoH1/2 has.

Also I'm only the worst player to stream, as we've yet to see you play.

Watch all those videos again . You will see that metagame changes happen way faster in coh2 and even some staples have been obtained already . The reason for that is that while Coh2 might be in its infancy in real time both in the development and the metagame evolution due to the collective experience that has been gained in the course of over 7 years from coh1 , therefore time is more "effective" . There is no groundbreaking event such as circlestrafing or even using vet which if i remember correctly were big things in vcoh when they happened . Sure there will be changes but when we look at this game in the future 3 yrs from now , assuming that no new commanders or units have been released you wont see radical differences in the way the game is played .

So when you say Coh2 is in its infancy you are dead wrong in all aspects . In "coh1 years" coh2 is at least 2 and a half years old . I guess the theory of relativity can be applied even in RTS's .


Also riddle me this CoH2 "defenders" how come if we criticizers are the vocal minority Coh2 has less players than coh1 presteam , if coh2 was as good as some ppl make it to be, it should have double its numbers , after all there was a massive accumulation of ppl over the past of the last 7 yrs and from all those ppl only a tiny fraction plays the game on multiplayer .

You say you want constructive criticism, well people have given plenty of it. Even Basilone. Still some manage to snipe single things out of his comments and blow it out of proportion and debate about silly things. All this while absolutely ignoring comments of Kolaris or Tommy.

ram1 this is the oldest trick on the book of debating cheapshots , it serves to move the focus of the debate away from the area one of the participants is lacking in and its done mostly by ppl who want to win the debate rather than prove a point . Watch any talkshow where politicians are present and you ll know .

Noun , what you are asking us to do in terms of content creation ( short catchy videos ) has already been done by machinima who are professionals and are already established and well connected and they straggled to surpass the 500k mark views with all the videos they made put together . It would make 0 difference if i made a 3 min half-decent video with my semidecent computer and uploaded it in my punny channel even if i could get past the challenge of editing . If you want promotion for the game i would advise you to give this task to a professional reviewer for example TotalBiscuit or AngryJoe .

I think it would be far more beneficial for the game if you focussed on making some changes that are being asked for by most ppl since the early beta and focussing your promotion resources and the communitys potential after the first expansion of the game in a big all or nothing move . I wont go in depth but i generally aggree with the points that have been made so far by Tommy and Inverse .

Because lets be clear on this , when your playerbase for CoH2 avgs on 4k players and is actually lower than pre-steam CoH numbers 8 months after the new game's release and after a literal horde of patches that have actually made improvements that means there is something fundamentally wrong with the game . If things were so rosy as being portrayed by the " CoH2 defence " then how on earth do we have a problem on the first place . Coh2 numbers should be rising but they arent (at least not in a significant way ).

I would also like to question the model around coh2 is organised which to me seems very similar to coh only you need to pay more and you have less freedom . I dont know how ppl can expect success out of this model when its predecessor was deemed a faillure especially since there are more forced microtransactions ( by comparison to other models ) because lets face it paying to make your space marines or favorite dota champion look cool is viable , paying to have red and white stripes on your tiger isnt for the simple reason that the former have a customisable character by default while the latter doesnt .

Let's be creative!!!

We need 175x100cm COH2 pictures, with a lot of young, beautiful and multiethnical people behind, smiling to the viewer, to promote the game. Nude women or sport cars are advised too. The picture should give the feeling that playing the game makes you really really cool, successful and handsome.

The community needs you, anonymous player!!!
As a reward, if you do so, we will give you a 5% discount coupon for your next DLC commander purchase.

Multicultural group of cool looking ppl : check , Superman/Captain marvel ripoff : check, hottest milf ever depicted in non porn related western comics : check . Alright ppl lets promote dis
