Too many people forget the dark sides of coh1: most matches depended on snipers and lucky countersniping, camping, artillery, lame stuff like the creeping barrage, bikes pushing you away from capping points, 15 rep bunker etc. Relic did a fine job reshaping sniper mechanics, ressource system and artillery mechanics: snipers cant be camo-ed in mid of road, are slower and more expensive, new ressource system brings a more frontline-based gameplay and alows more comebacks while neglecting mircroing-orgies, arty isnt that strong anymore much more vulnerable but mobile and can fire faster which gives it a support role and not a game-depending role.

Way too many people are prejudiced. i was sceptical too in the beginning because of the danger of simplifying, but relic took out the right things and added new, awesome stuff. they learned from the brit desaster and take a lot of effort to make this game more and more enjoyable.

Really, i played coh1 till the very end and had some real awesome matches from time to time.
However this is basically what i remember:

1v1:
-m8 hitting mine but survives
-m8 running away with 5%
-pak misfiring on m8
-m10 being built AS COUNTER FOR KNIGHTS CROSS (I MEAN IT S AN ANTI TANK) which was annoying and abusive
-bike pushing
-useless and never built vehicles: vamp, flamer ht, bulldozer, quad


2v2:
-brits breaking 80% of games
-creeping barrage
-early long range mortar pit
-arty fest
-rep bunker spam. ever played vs sturmtigerost? - that guy had 1 unit (tiger) and 15 rep bunkers. we shot down his tiger to 5%, it survived and was repaired in 3-4sec
-game was always the same: wehr plays def+terror, one goes nebelwerfer and spams them, one goes vetgrens. the nebel guy also had 2+ vet snipers. US waits for howitzer and calli. cps for that are generated by sniperspamming and throwing warmachine waves at the wehrmacht

-people building 3+ snipers and nothing else
-the countersnipe - roulette: work out a tactical countersnipe, but your sniper misses (!!!)
-gameplay actually consisted of getting the enemy's snipers. who has more snipers, wins


imo coh 2 has much more variety through its maps, commanders, factions, units

Is playing 2-3 matches a day enough to get you to a rank of say below 500? Currently 1191 as Ost and am wondering whether I can reach there. I plan to reach below 100 eventually. I play mainly 1v1
