Thread: My view on balance after taking a 1 yr gap8 Jun 2018, 04:58 AM Jump back to quoted post8 Jun 2018, 02:35 AMShadowLinkX37 Zombi is correct here. 6 pounder and pak 40: 190/200/210 Rak and zis 180/190/200 And the Raketen will either miss or just plain not shoot 50% of time. Last game I played, Rak didnt take a shot then missed 3 for 3 on a stationary target. So 4 chances = 0 pens. Quality game, keep up the good work! EDIT: Raketen percentage stats: 60%/40%/When monkeys fly out of my ass In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Strongest Faction?8 Jun 2018, 04:53 AM Since all RTS players live to contradict each other I will add some more variables for you: It is hard to say who is strongest in 2v2(which I think was the question) because of maps and who you get matched up with/against. Matchups For example: In 2v2 Brits can stomp OKW. Infantry is similar situationally and has MGs and UCs and then AEC. Raketens suck balls and need to be removed from the game. But OST could stomp Brits. So evenly placed players with 2 Brits vs 2 OKW = slaughter. Even though brits are some what garbage in 1v1 contests. Now argue amongst yourselves... In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: 2v2 map veto stats7 Jun 2018, 21:40 PM Excellent work! Thank you very much. EDIT: That is what I figured. The new 2v2 maps play much better than most of the current 2v2 maps in rotation. And players clearly agree. NOTES OF INTEREST(I do not play 2v2 much): Poltawa won the 2v2 contest but the mid buildings seem to scare players off. I always found engagements happened in the open more often than I would like as well, I attributed it to my noob play style. Some have said the map is too narrow and creates impassable MG walls. Alliance of Defiance seemed as though balance may be an issue with the green cover centers. But every game I had on AOD was fun. Glad to see it is doing well. FOW and Stadtschutt I only cued a couple times during automatch. Both seemed to play good on those few games. I had no complaints. I would rate the new maps very similar to the played/veto chart SiphonX was kind enough to provide. OTHER NOTES: The other note is that Moscow Outskirts sucks, but there are two of them so it is artificially inflated and should also be at the bottom of the list. Rails and Metal is also pretty bad, I have no idea how this 'train wreck' is the most played map. That map could be fixed in about an hour. But that will never happen. Anyone have a copy on steam I will fix it for my own pleasure This all supports my thoughts that we need a 3v3 or 4v4 map contest soon. I predict we will see similar charts afterwards.

Thread: Does 4vs4 deserve more attention from relic? (CoH3?)6 Jun 2018, 19:43 PM Forget everything I said. Just play 1v1 or even better don't play at all. Ancestors Legacy looks kinda cool....Hmmmm In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does 4vs4 deserve more attention from relic? (CoH3?)6 Jun 2018, 14:53 PM Jump back to quoted post6 Jun 2018, 13:54 PMFelixTHM Oh really? I guess I've a good chance of beating DevM and Luvnest then. Since it's just a 50-50 left/right guess. GCS here I come! Yes! Exactly! You do! I have beaten players much better than me in 1v1 because of these things. 1v1 is very unforgiving. I do not see how anyone could say otherwise. You lose 1 or 2 squads to these RANDOM factors and you lose. Its over. You just wasted 15 minutes of your life. You can lose your whole army twice before its over in a 4v4. Does 1v1 require more skill to play, yes a lot more skill. It is also not fun at all because it is over in under 4 minute most times. Losing you whole army is also what makes it fun! You do not have to stick to any meta other than artillery counters. If you lose a bunch of stuff just merge with your partner and support them. Still a viable win. People win games by spamming engrs and covering points with fuel caches. Do that in a 1v1. So yes, Relic should put some thought into 4v4(always) for COH3. And put thought into 1v1 since it is the ESL style everyone loves to watch. Tournaments are getting over 1000 viewers, yet there are probably half that playing 1v1....because it sucks to play (pokes the bear) In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does 4vs4 deserve more attention from relic? (CoH3?)5 Jun 2018, 22:23 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2018, 20:58 PMDonnieChan Talk what you want. But teamgames are mostly used to conceal that you suck Also you can blame teammates if you lose. That's the reason why 4v4 and this DoTA and LoL shit is so popular Thank you for your clear and unbiased opinion of a game mode you probably never play 1v1 is the most boring game mode of all time. You know within the first two engagements who will win the game. You never know who will a 4v4 until it is over. EXAMPLES OF 1v1 SKILL: - Oh, I went left and should have went right..GG - Oh, I got in this building and didn't know penals were on the other side, satchel...GG - Oh, I did not guess what commander my opponent would have, I now have zero chance of winning. - RNG decided none of my mortars, arty, or tank shots will hit..GG Yeah, lets focus all of our attention on 1v1, and totally forget the only FUN game mode in our game. Which you know...people pay for so they can have fun. This guys great In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does 4vs4 deserve more attention from relic? (CoH3?)5 Jun 2018, 17:11 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2018, 15:45 PMSturmpanther Hell no. 2vs2 mapcontest was already crazy. Now think to get 8 players to test the map xD and then in base case with equal skill... But you can look for something other from me in short future The map contest is the only valid method. Anything else is just a popularity contest behind closed doors. But I agree getting 8 decent players to play several maps multiple times will be a challenge. But as I stated before 4v4 maps are easy to balance since ALL action takes place around the Fuels/VPs. No one has ever even seen the SouthWest or NorthEast parts of Redball Express. I guarantee it. EDIT: And the only thing that made the 2v2 map contest crazy was the fact Relic ran into issues in the middle of the contest. When Tric ran the 1v1 contest (by himself I might add) it ran perfectly. Every week maps were updated and tested. I do not see a 4v4 version being a problem, as long as Relic has minimal involvement. Getting good players together will be hard, especially since most of you guys do not even play anymore (looking at you Sturmpanther). In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Does 4vs4 deserve more attention from relic? (CoH3?)5 Jun 2018, 15:25 PM Jump back to quoted post5 Jun 2018, 14:40 PMSturmpanther I am willing to get a new 4vs4 map into automatch. Tho I guess there is no really good there already or? And creating a new 4vs4 maps cost alot of time and testing, which is another problem. Have a contest and they will come... on another note, does SiphonX have stats on how much the new 2v2 maps are being played? In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Bugsplat at launch3 Jun 2018, 17:20 PM Quick look on Google shows people getting a Windows 10 update that causes the error. They fixed it by switching resolutions and starting the game. Seems like whatever you default resolution is gets corrupted so you need to change it. Maybe start in a window with this in your command line (STEAM properties): -window -forceactive then try -fullwindow -forceactive https://www.coh2.org/topic/4928/how-to-launch-in-windowed-mode In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: Best allied faction for 4v4?1 Jun 2018, 15:41 PM (I am noob but) It is very hard to say which faction is best because there are several situations you need to deal with: arty, heavy tanks, blobs. Defensive and Offensive stances. Soviets have an answer to everything depending on how you tech. Maxims+Mines for blobs, Penal satchel + SU85s for tanks, Katy+ML20+IL2 for arty. USF gets beat up early game but can make blobs, Jacksons, and Priests to do well late game. BRITS get beat up mid game without snares and only one AEC. Late game they have Firefly+Churchill+Comet to deal with tanks. Bren blobs+Vetted vickers for blob control. They are weak in the arty. But each faction excels in different scenarios. If you are in a defensive stance Bofors and Fireflys do very well. If you need to be aggressive USF blobs and Jacksons work well, especially after priest softening things up a bit. Soviets can go wither way maxim+Zis+SU85 for defensive or blobs+SU85+t34+Katy for offensive. And in many cases pushing the right units out first makes all the difference. Like after a katy shot, send penals out for sight in front of SU85s. Panthers will not push for fear of satchel, etc. Or sending a cheap t34 in front so it gets targeted while your SU85s deal some damage. My point is no matter what, once you are in game you will wish you had picked a different faction In: Lobby
