Thread: What is wrong about playing only one faction ?15 Nov 2017, 11:26 AM As mentioned before. It is because of Relic and most of the fans doesn't want mirror matches and that forces the competitive scene to play both factions to be a fairer fight. It also makes the online warriors and casuals to see only one side and never experience other factions "cancer" and therefore making them more bias when talking about balancing. For these reasons you see people say things like "play all factions" which brings more value to your game by playing with all the content and be more truthful about balance conversations. I understand like %90 people who play the CoH series are ww2 nerds, (myself included) even in the comp scene. I understand why they don't want mirror matches but I still disagree and in the long run -just in CoH2- it just locks the game so much that you become very limited to actually change things in the gameplay.

Thread: Relic working on Age of Empires 421 Aug 2017, 21:30 PM I was just about to sleep and woken up now. So many questions. I remember there was a poster years back picturing AEO4 as WW2 and AOE5 as Futuristic Wars. We all wondering about COH3 for 2020 and now Relic is doing AOE4 maybe as ww2 setting. If so, aren't they working on coh3 or who is working on AEO4? Makers of DoW3 or COH2? Major franchise will surely interest other companies as well. EA with Battle for the middle earth and Blizzard Warcraft 4 could enter sooner. Very good news for RTS lovers! Kreygasm In: Other Games
Thread: Can We Appreciate Company of Heroes 2's OST?4 Aug 2017, 10:43 AM Honestly, you lost me about your ambient, atmospheric discussion. I could have used a better word to express it but I don't know how to describe it, best of my the language skills. I have a trained ear and enjoy quite a big range of music styles but yes, I do enjoy a good "atmospheric" music as well. It's not about slow or anything. For example, a good atmospheric music producer is Ulver. My opinion wasn't affected from songs being slower or faster. Since music It's an art form it's perfectly fine for anybody to like or dislike another work or opinion. In the example of Shattered, you give "wasn't this is a 3 minute build up too?" It's absolutely not! Shattered is a good example of how to do good atmospheric songs. It's moving, has few moments where It shines and most importantly not filled with radio noise with few seconds of notes as I described one by one. As for the COH2 music is fitting story argument, I simply cannot agree; COH2 story was all over the place. COH2 story is one of the weirdest stories in COH franchise. There are lots of topics they touched but never grasped. It needed more missions and cutscenes to really tell about all topics Relic childishly touched. So since there is no vision to the story I highly doubt there is a connection to the story too. If you enjoyed it and thinking minutes of radio noise mixed with choir and occasional notes playing in the background (not saying to demoralize just to point out the fact) making you think about "...waiting to die in the war times" It's perfectly fine. I just think it's lazy and bad work which doesn't inspire me as COH1 did. In: Lobby
Thread: Can We Appreciate Company of Heroes 2's OST?4 Aug 2017, 08:46 AM My vote was yes but that doesn't change the fact about COH1 soundtracks were way better and overall COH2 soundtracks were way worse. WHY? First, I'm deeply annoyed about building up times in almost every track but more importantly soundtrack is filled with bad ambiant songs. Let's start with main themes. In COH2's, you get to hear the first note about 35 seconds after track starts and nothing happens till 1.13. That's a lot of build up time for a game. After that, very memorable solo hits and finally you start to enjoy the track. In COH1, you hear the first note at second 10. There is a very enjoyable but small build up around 20-40 and you starting to grasp the track after that and enjoy it. HERE is a link you can listen all too COH2 Blitzkrieg Track Even if you ask a none-ww2 nerd, what is Blitzkrieg, they will say Its a none stoping attacking. When I first heard the song I honestly thought about relentless charges from conscripts, a Soviet push, attack after attack. All because of pauses during the song. It pauses and continues almost all time with a little memorable moments getting boring around the middle. Footsteps in the Snow You hear the first note in 30 seconds. The whole song is filled with few seconds of music and the rest is empty effects. I feel absolutely nothing after I hear this. Couse, there is nothing to feel about anything on this track. Tread Softly Another radio noise mixed with few seconds of the choir and random sounds. Nothing to feel. March Into Hell One of the good track in this mess. Has enjoyable build up and around 50 seconds you grasp the song and after that, you enjoy the good usage of the choir with good music. One thing is lacking a memorable solo or a bridge but I think It still satisfies any player who wishes to increase the hype when playing as SU. O My Brother, Be Strong Has very strong build up and takes you a perfect WW2 Soviet song. It changes drastically during track without feeling alienated from the theme. From strong start to strong finish best track in whole soundtracks. We Toil With No Respite Nothing. There is really nothing on this track. Another 3 minutes of build up song mixed with rare moments of notes. Stand, Rise Up! Good usage of choir and music. Very high paced song and keeps you on edge but giving you a good amount of resting moments. A very memorable one. The Advancing Hordes Starts good but after listening to the same tune over and over again If becomes boring around the middle. Ghosts of the Fallen It's only an ambient sound. Soldiers, Be Wary Another ambient sound mixed with the choir. Don't Weep, That Time Has Passed A good variant of the theme. Good usage of the choir. Enjoyable to listen. Epitaph Another 3 minutes of build up song. Sneak Attack A very good sneaky build up but sadly leading to the very small window to feel the end of a sneaky attack. Lacks short Gather Your Force It's actually a good example of ambient sounds. A solo in the back. Moments of music dragging back you in the track. Not a memorable one or a good one but as I said. A good example how to make an ambient track. Shadows in the Mist Same pace. Another example of how to make bad ambient sounds. Onward to Victory A good variant of the theme. A really good solo and very Soviet(y) Not One Step Back A good tune which has few special moments in it. One of the good ones. The Fog of War Another bad ambient sounds. Nothing to feel. In Russia, Rubik's Solves You Enjoyable build up leads to very Sovieish song. Has few moments makes It unique. One of the good ones. The Struggle Remains Another bad ambient music. Za Rodinu! Has good pace but only an acceptable one. Frostbite Bad ambient song. A Red Army Rising A good variant of the theme. Lacks something to makes It unique though. The Long Winter Another bad ambient song. A Prayer For My Company Barely acceptable ambient song. But why did I still voted yes? Because I don't know If this was Relic's request or something else. So I can't put the entire blame for this overall bad soundtrack of COH2 to the composer. In: Lobby
Thread: COH2 veterans play Sudden Strike 4 ? How was it ?1 Aug 2017, 21:32 PM What I liked about Sudden Strike campaign missions have huge maps and takes a long time to finish one.It's not like a COH2 placement but I liked it as an RTS. I mean at least units doesn't pass through walls and such like in Steel Division. LUL ...but multiplayer is very fast paced spam war. I wished they only focused singleplayer. In: Lobby
Thread: FBP V1.1 UPDATE28 Jul 2017, 03:48 AM Crocodile Due to the loss of the second flamethrower that significantly reduced the Crocodile's output against infantry (range: 38), we are slightly increasing the primary flamethrower’s range to match other flame tanks. The damage of the main gun is also being increased. Flamethrower range partially reverted from 25 to 30 Main gun damage from 80 to 120 In: Lobby

Thread: Suggested QoL change, or feature for Coh317 Jul 2017, 05:02 AM -In-game unit stats at the menu and make it auto update so they don't have to update manually every time they patch. (This will help new players to understand the game and would be a good long time investment which helps everyone.) -Much more improved strategic map. Show the building tab. Let us draw arrows with CTRL. Let us ping/color entire sectors. Bring back chat log. -Different pings. Attack, Defend, On My Way, Retreat. (Making communication easier in online gaming could reduce toxic behavior greatly. No one has time to write in chat to make other understand in RTS games. If you want to take some things from mobas take different pings, not towers. LUL) In: COH2 Gameplay
