Thread: Mirror Match11 Jan 2013, 19:42 PM I guess there's nothing left to say now. Both sides presented their arguments. It seems that relic has already decided to include mirrors. Oh well, I just hope that this pursue after holy grail of e-sport won't backfire on them. I personally would prefer them to focus on making the game even more fun than original CoH instead of trying to make the game an e-sport. In: Lobby
Thread: THQ is Bankrupt for Real This Time4 Jan 2013, 23:56 PM I'm just suprised it took Jimmy so long to figure out where the heck all the people from GR's COH section went. His abscence on CoH2.org was something I have really enjoyed. In: Lobby

Thread: Mirror Match1 Jan 2013, 15:10 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Dec 2012, 21:55 PMTychoCelchuuu Yes but football has mirror matches. If in each game, one team was always on offense and the other was always on defense I don't know if football would be as popular. Imagine if a really good defensive team lost the coin flip in the Superbowl just to be clear, by "football" I meant the most popular sport on the planet, not in USA . I will just stick to my opinion that unfairness is a part of almost every sport (chess being here one exception that comes to my mind). And football (soccer for you) being a good example of a game that is extremely popular yet can be very very unfair (Maradona's "hand of God" anyone?). And I don't think that football has mirror matches. Everyone plays by the same rules - yes, but teams differ very much, maps (football fields) are very different. Some teams like to play on a bigger fields, some like to play on smaller fields, some like grass to be cut short. The list goes on. My point - the game must be fun, interesting, entertaining to watch to become popular. It doesn't have to be 100% fair. In: Lobby
Thread: Mirror Match31 Dec 2012, 13:39 PM Jump back to quoted post31 Dec 2012, 10:46 AMMarcus2389 I think that when you have to play BO1 games in tournaments you need mirror matches, or the game will always be unfair and favour the player who picks faction first. An example of this is how all the BO1 games during SNF quali tourneys went, the high majority of them ended with the players picking faction first being also the winners. And how exactly did it effect the results of this qualification tourneys? Were the results really that unfair? Let me check - Aimstrong, Symbiosis, Fireball and DevM/Seph... hmmm.... It seems pretty fair to me that this guys went through. Football for example is really an unfair sport. Yet is the most popular one. The game doesn't have to be 100% fair, but it must be FUN and entertaining. You can have a game that is super duper fair and boring at the same time. In: Lobby
Thread: Mirror Match24 Dec 2012, 13:02 PM So here is a part of a comment posted originally by spajn on official coh forums. I believe he made a good point so I cite it below. To get a game BIG in esport the game must first and foremost be FUN, it must be mad FUN and still require insane amount of skill. (...) By pushing CoH2 in an esport direction by cutting out the fun parts (like no-mirror matches), and im sure the same guys wants fixed damage and and so on.. then at the end the game stops being coh, and stops being fun and you can have an esport game with 100 people online top peak.

Thread: Mirror Match21 Dec 2012, 21:07 PM "I mean, who really is the best Wehrmacht player if you can’t mirror match to prove it?" [Lynx] I seriously don't buy this argument that you need to introduce mirrors to be able to determine who is the best player of each faction. It's like saying: hey Rommel, you can't be considered the best german commander because you didn't fight against other german commanders. As was stated earlier in this thread in chess there are no mirror matches. Players simply have to play both sides. Why CoH2 can't be the same? I don't need to add that chess is highly competitive game. In: Lobby
Thread: Mirror Match19 Dec 2012, 17:25 PM If relic itroduces mirror matches, they could as well introduce alien race in a DLC. Why not? We could see germans fighting xenomorphs that would be cool! Would you like to see that? I guess people who advocate for mirrors wouldn't care. In: Lobby
Thread: Active spectator mode coh2?15 Dec 2012, 11:12 AM please Relic forget about mirror matches and give us spectator mode. The commmunity is split on mirror matches but speaks with one voice on observer mode. In: Lobby
